HEEO AND MARTYR.
= Bank Cashier Killed by Robbers and Avenged
by Lynchers.

LIMESTONE, I. T., January 25.-Four
masked men, all heavily armed, who sub
sequently proved to be citizens and cattle
ranchers of the ncighborhood, entered the
Citizens Bank Saturday. and, presenting .
pistol at the head of .he cashier, W. T.
Reynolds, demanded that he should turn
over the cash on hand. While pretending
to coMply, Reynolds slammed the door OF
III. safe ard turned the lock. He was at
oEce laid out by a bullet from the pistol Of
one of the Gesperadoes, which struck him
above the heart, killing him instantly.
The bank was then ransacked, and all the
money in the cash drawer, some $4,000,
was taken. An attempt was. made to open
the safe, but in this the robbers were foiled.
AS the sound of pistol sho,s was heard
several people came running toward the
bank to ascertain the au:e Of the trouble.
They were fred upon by three of the men
who were on guard, and retreated to get
arms In few minutes the town was
aroused, and twenty or thirty armed men
hurried toward the bank. The robbers
were m 1unting their horses. and ho. IRE
vas started, in which one of the robbers,
Thomas Evans. was killed outright, being
shot several times in the head and body.
He was identified as ranchman living
neir town.
In the fight four citizens were wounded,
but not fatally, two receiving shots through
the arms and two Others being slightly
wounded in the legs. The three surviving
robbers then lode away with the booty
captured y p ,sse Of pursuers was soon
upon the trail, riding rapidly in the direc.
ton of Atoka. After about an houc's hard
pursuit the robbers were surrounded, cap.
lured and taken back to Limestone, where
Judge Lynch was called on to hold court.
The leader was found guilty Of the murder
of Reynolds and was forth With strung up.
The other two were placed in charge OF
strong guard and started for Fort Washita,
where they will be turned over to the
United States authorities. The stolen
money was recovered.

he called the family and friends to his
bedside and bore his testimony to the
truth Of the Book OF Mormon and the

was known by every one here as a man
of the highest honor, having resided
here since the year 1913. He was not,

THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.
Important Changes Said to DE About to ID"
Made Among the Church DiGni;arles IN
America.

America.
BALTIMORE, January 25.-A special
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, at
Rome, writes that number Of import
ant changes il connection with tue gov
e,pment of the Catholic Church IN the
United States are contemplated.
Though nothing has been formulated
yet, it is agreed upon in ecclesiastical
circles that Archbishop Williams, OF
Boston, will be made Cardinal at the
Consistory in March. Other changes
foreshadowed by the Sun correspondent
are that Bishop NIcMahon, Of Hartford,
Conn, will be the new Cardinals coad-
tutor, and the Rev. DR.. Byrne, OF Bos-
ton, will succeed Bishop McMahon.
The Rev. DR.. Chapelie, OF Washing
ton, will probably be promoted to the
vacant Archbishopric o. New Ofleans.
That new Archbishopric will be created
out OF the Archdiocese OF Milwaukee,
and Bishop Ireland will become the new
Archbishop, and that Dr.. O'Connell,
rector of the American College in Rome,
will succeed Bishop keane, OF Rich
mond, when the latter assumes his dntles
in the new University at Washington.
A member Of the Papal household,
and one eminently qualified to speak,
tod the Sun correspondent that Pope
Leo would not take the slightest notice
Of an attempt to provoke jealousies be
tween Irish and German Catholics ii the
United States.
Strange stories, to speak Of them II
the mildest style, have crept into Rome
regarding alleged complaints at the pre-
dominance Of Irish prelates in the Amer
ican hierarchy. The Pope has said thai
il making promotions in that direction
he will not recognize, even if accom-
panied by the strongest rscommenda-
tons, any claims for appointment based
on national preferences. He IS deter
mined not to give ear to either side,
should the issue ever come. tor he holds
that no citizen is Irish or German solely
and distinctly in tac United States, but
az American and as such mentally and
spiritually qualified FOR the position IN
question will be only considered the
cases to those who are named as fitting
persons to be promoted.

B-giu-.Germany, iustr q and Italy to be Ar
rayed Asalnst Fraoce anc Russia.
LONDON, January 23-It is beyond
doubt that the powerful war party in Rus
sia has several times in the last two months
nearly aucceeded in committing the Car to
overt acts Of hostility. The latter has been
persuaded that Bismarck wishes war, and
is endeavoring to precipitate it. and the
anti German manifestations in Lithuania
and other provinces are an indication that
the Russian Government is earnest In its
desire to Danish the language and other re-
mainders of the detested Teuton from Rus
sian soil. AS natural consequence many
theoretical warriors have favored the world
with their views as to the campaign which
they regard as inevitable between. Ger
many, Austria aud Italy on the one hand,
and Russia aud France on the other.
One OF the most distinguished Russian
Generals has enlightened the public
through the correspondent of the Paris
.Solcii with precise details concerning the
coming struggle He takes it for granted
that Bismarck wishes war, for several rea-
sons. The alliance with Italy may not last
long. II couple Of years a change Of
ministry at Rome may withdraw her sup
port, and he W shes to make use OF the
Italian troops while he can command their
aid Nor can Austria entirely be depended
upun The HungArians particularly detest
PRICE Bismarck and dis:russ Germany,
and several speeches III the Diet have lately
shown the arilnus of the inhabitants of
that powerful portion OF the Austrian En-
pirc.
An article in the treaty Of the triple
alliance engages each of the contracting
powers to mobilize a portion of its forces
yearly. The Austsian Government haYing
failed 10 keep its agrcemer. ir this respect,
pressure was brought upan it from Ber-
lin, and as ] further incentive the alarming
articles in the German and austrian jour
nais as to the threatening Russian move
ments on the Galicinn fron..er appeared,
setting ali Europe in turmoil.
The conflict will begin, continues the
General, in this wise: In the spring Italy
will be summoned to mobilize an army
corps on the northern frontier. France
will respond ly an analogous military
measure. Germany will order France to
disperse her troops and then war will be-
gin Sixteen of the Eighteen German army
corps will enter France from Lorraine,
while cloud of Italians will deb ouch by
tue ST. Gothard upon the basin of the
Rh' ne At the end If the first week France
will be victor upon the Rhine or thrown
back into the middle Of Champagne. She
can certainly hold out for month, and at
the end of that time Russian armies will be
thr atening Berlin or Vienna
This is the programme furnished BY the
Russian war expert, who concludes by
saying that Russia is a powerful machine,
ard us such, STOW to be put in motion, but
once started she will crush e,ery obstacle
in her path.

Queen Anne's offer of free passage to
America, and from that time the stream
has been continuous, varying rather with
the comprehension OF oppression than with
the severity of it. For q whole century
