DEATH OF A HERO.
A Bank Cashfsr Loses His Life In
Frustrating Robbers.

Frustrating Robbers.
LIMESTONE, l. r., Jan. 25.-Four
masked men, all heavily armed entered the
Citizens. Bank on Saturday and Presented
pistol at the head of the cashier, w. Z.
Reynolds. and demanded that he hand over
the cash. While pretending to comply,
Reynolds slammed the door of the safe to
and turned the lock. He was at once laid
out by pistol of one of the desperadoes
which killed him instantly.
The bank was then ransacAed and all the
money in the cash drawer, some s., 800, was
taken. An attempt was made to open the
safe, but In this the robbers were foiled. AS
the sound of the pistol shot was heard, sew
eral people came rushing toward the bank
and in few minutes the town was aroused
and twenty or thirty armed men hurried to
the bank.
The robbers were Just mounting their
horses, ard hot firing started in which one
of the robbers, Thomas Evans, ranchman
living near the town, was killed. In the
melee four of the citizens were wounded,
but not fatally. The surviving robbers then
rode away with the booty, followed by a
posse, which after an hours chase caught
the desperadoes and took them back to
Limestone.
The leader was found to be guilty of mur'
der and strung up. The other two were
placed in charge of strong guard and
started for Fort Washite, where they were
turned over to the United stste authorities
The stolen money was recovered.

The wheels stopped By Fi.h.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 26.-On We'd
nesday and Thursday of this week an IN
usual event occurred in the Des Moines
River at BoBaparte, Van Buren, county.
There is a dam across the river there and
no water passes through it, the only escape
being through the n,iil:race and the water
wheels For the past few days all kinds OF
fish-black bass buffalo, blue cat, yellow
cat, mud cat, salmon, pike, rock bass, and
all the varieties of fish in this stream-filled
the milI-race SO full that the powerful
wheels of the mills were stopped by them.
An eye witness writes: "The people of
the town turned out en- masse with rakes
and hoes, and took out fish by the tub,
basket and bag full, and now everybody
has fish and to spare. They are OF all sizes
and varieties, ten to twelve pound catfish
and buffalo being frequent. The fish have
been crushed by hundred in the wheels, and
thousands have been carried away by the
people. This began on the 18Th and contin-
ues to-day. The run is supposed to be on ac-
count of the severe weather having frozen
the upper river and creeks to the bottom
and the fish seeking deeper water or breaks
in the ice for more air. The mills were
closed, the wheels stopped and race wick
cts opened yesterday to permit the fish to
pass through and empty the race.
As an evidence of the number of the fish.
the race, which they crowded for two days
in succession, is about 800 feet long and 50
to IS feet wide, and about 10 or IL feet
deep. Bonaparte is a famous fishing ground.
In winter holes are cut in the ice and cat
fish weighing from five to seventy-five
pounds are speared in large numbers. In
the spring time netting is resorted to with
great success, and in May and June the
bass fishing with hook and line is superb.
Then comes midsummer for the big chan
mel catfish, to land which by hook and line
requires skillful work. But perhaps best
of all is the land locked salmon fishing in
September and October.

ST. Pnul.n Ice Palnce.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 25,-For the
next ten daysSt Paul will be in the midst
of whfri of festivity and gayely. The
many months of hard work which have
been put in by President George Thompson
of the Dispatch, and his colleagues OF the
carnival committee reached fruition to-
day, when the ice carnival was inaugurated
amid n blaze of glory. The city is crowded
with strangers from far and near, ana
every train from the east and west this
morning has added its quota to the throng.
All the principal business houses closed
their doors at noon, and when the ''ice
king f. w. Durant, rides into town in
his chariot, drawn by six white horses, he
will be greeted by huzzas lfrom hundreds
OF thousands OF throats. His escor. viii
include all of the carnival, several thousand
strong, in fulluniform,a thousand uniform
ed employees of the Northern Pacific road
and delegates from every town in the
state. His personal retinue will be clad in
skins of polar bears, the heads setting over
their faces like masks. When the king
reaches the palace there will be speeches
of welcome, the delivery of the freedom OF
the city and the keys of the palace by the
mayor. Tonight there will be u grand IL
Illumination and reception on the palace
grounds. Tho lice king" is timed to enter
the city at 80 this afternoon.
The ice palace of 1888 is st. Paul's third.
1t is located in Central park and covers an
area Of one acre. The battlements are built
to a height of 40 feet. In its construction
there were used fully 6o,ooo, 900 pounds of
ice. The main archway is twenty feet wide
and seventeen feet high, and is flanked by
towers rising to height OF sixty feet In.
side the court is n maze, or labyrinth, mod
eled on the plan of the famous Hampton
court. The domed roof of the main build
ing rises to height of forty feet The gem
cral appearance of the palace is majestic,
and when lighted by thousands of electric
globes Of many colors, the effect will battle
Imagination. The entire area of the park
grounds has been given up to skating and
curling rinks, toboggan slides and the In.
dian village Of two dozen tepees, occupied
by half hundred redskins of various ages.
There is special progcsmme for every
day OF the carnival, and II President rhomps
sons plans arc carried out to the letter the
event will totally eclipse Its predecessors in
point OF success.

EDwARDsvILLE, ILL.,, Jan. s1.-Dnr
ing the first week in November a stylish
couple arrived In Alton, ILL.,. and registered
at the Central Hotel as l.. N. Logan and
wife. Mr.. Logan professed to be chemist
who had discovered valuable recipe for
making perfumery at a nominal cost, and
which only required capital in order to en-
able those Vho might interest themselves
in the manufacture Of the perfumery to be-
come enormously wealthy In a short time.
He induced two Alton rnen TO invest $500
In the scheme and told wonderful tales of
his acres OF roses in California, while the
lady charmed all with whom;she conversed.
After securing the money Logan disappear
ed, and his victims finally ran him down at
Sedaiia, Mo. He was lodged In jail at Ed
wardsvilIe The confinement In the Jail
among the common burglars and horse
thieves did not suit this gentleman, and he
gradually wasted away until Dec. q, when
he was attacked with neuralgia. By noon
Dec. 2s, he was completely deaf. The
same day the pupils of his eyes became very
greatly dilated, and by night he was blind.
Jan. 9 he lost his voice. DIR. Olive Of this
city was called in Dec. 81, and sitter an ex-
animation reported total, permanent loss of
hearing in his left ear, and only Sigh.
possibility of restoring the hearing of his
right ear. About this time he became
afflicted with palpitation of the
heart. epilepsy, and dyspepsia, some
times vomiting blood, and being unable to
retain any food on his stomach. Jan. l6 he
had commissions, and the sheriff called In
examination, said he had tuinor or abb
scess In his brain, about three inches back
Of the frontal bone. and that he was bound

main Jail to an upper room In the jail build

night lie remained in bed seemingly un-
conf cious from that time until 10 o'clock.
Three physicians diagnosed the case as alb
scess OF the brain and two noted surgeons
from st. Louis were called to perform an
operation. When the surgeons, who be-
IIeved they had remar rkable case, gathered
around the bed Logan lost his nerve, and,
jumping up, said that he had been sham
ming. The surgeons could hardly believe
their senses, but the prisoner said 1t was the
truth. and he had acted the part to keep
out OF the penitentiary. He said that he
caused the dilation of the eyes by the use of
belladonna, which he had kept concealed
between his toes. The fits were assumed
and the vomiting was produced by swai-
lowing tobacco juice. The palpi.ation of
the heart and rushes of blood to the head
were caused by filing his lungs with air
and contracting his chest, meanwhile
holding his breath. and the rapid pulsa-
ton by striking his elbow agains; the wall.
