BANK ROBBERY.
An Imitation of the James Boys
Methods at Solomon-No One Hurt
and Little Money Taken.
Special to the REFLECTOR.

special TO the REFLECTOR.
SOLOMON, KAs., Nov. 10.
NJ. Hollingsworth's livery barn was
set on fire and burned to the ground
about l o'clock this afternoon and
while every one was at the fire man
ran into the Farmers Bank crying
''Firel" He ran to the back end of the
room, wanting to know if he could get
through that way. Then he ran be-
hind the counter, holding a pistol on
Mr.. Ferguson, the cashier, who was at
the paying teller's window, taking his
money from the draw to put in the
safe. The robber demanded the money
which was given him.
Mr.. Ferguson grabbed his pistol at
the same time he handed over the
money. They had scuff1e and the
pistol was discharged. This scared the
burglar. He dropped the pistol and
ran. Mr.. Ferguson followed him and
shot four times at him but without hit
ting him. lie is now probably south
of town with citizens in pursuit.
Mr.. Ferguson escaped with a small
cut on one finger and the robber with
very little money.
After the robbery Sheriff NALL was
telegraphed for and with posse of a
hundred men he searched the county
south of Solomon, but with no success.
The man went across fields and through
ravines and could not be traced.
Some thought it possible that he
changed his disguise and mingled with
the pursuers. The robbery was equal
in boldness to any of the James boys
escapades.
Upon his return to Abilene Sheriff
NALL received despatch saying that
man, thought to be the criminal, had
been captured at Carlton. According
ly he and Under Sheriff Ellison went
to Carlton yesterday but the man was
not the guilty one. The county north
of Carlton was searched, but still with
no success.
This morning several hundred notices
offering 800 reward were sent out.
The robber got away with about
$500. The stable of Roe Hollingsworth
which he set on fire was burned to the
ground but the contents and surround
ing property saved.
The following is the reward. the
mans description being thought to
tally with that of one, Willard Jack
son, living near Gypsum City:
500 REWARD.
The above reward will be paid for the |
arrest and detention of the man who |
robbed the Farmers State bank. of |
Solomon City, Kas., on November 10.
1883. The robber is supposed to lie
Willard jackson, age about 26, six feet |
in height, sandy complexion, sandy
hair, high cheek bones, slightly stoop-
shouldered, large knuckles. When last
seen wore burnside whiskers and |
moustache-red in color. Had on
black SLOUGH hat, rough black coat.
Thumb on left hand probably cut and
sore. d. w. NALL, Sheriff.

HARRISON HAPPINESS.
GLORIOUS RATIFICATION

The Republicans See Their Opponents
of on Their Trip up Salt River in
Good Shape.
The Republican jubilee was ushered
in at $50 p. IN. Monday by an affect
ing exhibition of humility on tie part
of the Democrats.
AS previously advertised, NJ. NJ.
Shipe, of the street car company, as
sisted by several other stauncn Demo
Gratis came down Third street mounted
on mules which were drawing gayly
decorated street car carrying a score OF
joyous Republicans. Col. j. W. Gore
carried a bandana banner; then
came Shipe in Sackcioth and ashes;
Geo. Brilliant, w. p. Gulick, Pearl
Ross, Geo. Anderson and John Duncan
made up the rest of the party. All
wore their white tiles draped in deep
est mourning. Behind the car rode
Ii. j. Lands, representative OF the
Union LabOrites. MeSSrS, Cooper,
Lands, GOrden, Waring, Morse Harger,
j. G. Russell, Biting, Ed King, Johns
and others were the passengers. The
New Basel band proceeded the COM
pany. The utmost good humOr pr
vailed. The streets were crowded
with spectators, and cheers and shouts
marked the progress of the Car.
IN THE EVENING
the streets were fairly alive with peO-
pie and the Harrison jollitiers turned
out en- masse. The procession was
formed on Cedar and when it moved
was nearly or quite as long as that Of
the great parade of Oct. goth. The
New Basel bald came first, after which
followed the visiting clubs, hambeauX,
gun club, Harrison and Morton club,
Markets band, mounted Republicans,
etc., etc. Two elaborate floats repre-
senting the Salt River Packet line bear
ing the cabinet away and Grover on a
fishing excursion made capital
hits. A constant roar of cheers
went up from the thousand
or more men in line and
made the occasion a memorable one.
The gun club kept up steady fusilade
and a cannon on the public square
doomed at short intervals. Several
prominent Democrats walked Ill the
procession, their hats covered with
Grape. An amusing feature of the pa
rade was the issuing of passes via the
Salt River Packet line to the bystand-
ers. The passes read: "Pass the bear
er on account of British free trade up
Salt River"
After the procession had traversed
the principal streets of the city, it was
halted in front of the band stand when
THE SPEAKING OF THE EVENING
began. D. r. Gorden presided and
first introduced w. S. Stambaugh who
made characteristic speech, putting
the audience in good Eumor and end
ing up with a hearty three times

was followed by Hon. C. Kohler, of

attorney elect. Both gentlemen held
the audiences close attention and were
loudly cheered.

night. The indications are that Harri- |
