HOW TEXAS OUTLAWS REDUCED
THE SURPLUS OF A FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION.


INSTITUTION.
Cisco, TEXAS, Feb. 16.-One Of
the boldest and most daring rob.
berries ever committed in Texas Oc.
Cured here yesterday afternoon
At about $3.50 o'clock a man entered
the Cisco Bank and asked Mr.. +.
@. Leyeanx, the cashier and treas.
urer, to change bill. As Mr.
Leveanx stepped toward to do so
three other men walked in, and
one Of them presented a large pis.
tol at his head aud said: This is
the kind of change | want" At
this time &. X. Blake and NJ. b.
Owens, who we're in the bank, got
up and started out, but the rob-
bers halted them and marched
them with Mr.. Leveaux into one
corner of the bank, where three of
the robbers guarded them, while
the other went through the bank
and took every dollar in it, a gold
watch and other valuables deposit.
ed there for safe keeping. After
they had got everything in the
bank they made Mr.. Leveaux open
two doors leading into the back
yard, and marched the men in the
bank out into the yard and compel.
ed them to climb high plank fence
into an alley, where they were fol-
lowed by the robbers. The latter
then climbed another fence into a
wagon yard where their horses
we're hitched. Mr.. Leyeaux was
little slow in getting over the
fence, and the thieves went over
and lett him, He ran back through
the bank and out of the front door
and gave an alarm.
Mr.. Owens did not move into the
corner of the bank as rapidly ass
the robbers thought best, and one
of them struck him on the head
with bis pistol, telling him to the
floor and inficting a painful though
not serious wound. When the
robbers entered the bank they did
not wait or make any attempt to
get the doors of the inclosure on
the inside open, bat climed over
the iron railing, which is eight feet
high. Mr.. Blake also scaled the
iron railing. He started out when
the thieves FIRST made Mr., Leveaux
throw up his hand, bat they hurried
him back as quickly as they could:
} The robbers got from $4,000 to
$4,000, OF whlch $500 was in silver,
5000 IN gold, and the restin green
backs. After they got ont on their
horses, and about 200 yards away
from the bank, they drew their
pistols aud fred four or Ave shots,
which alarmed the whole town,
and in ten minutes Marshall j. L.
Thomas and several citizens were
in hot pursuit. At five o'clock
Thomas aud his posse were in sight
OF the robbers, and seemed to be
gaining on them. A desperate
fight will take place should the
officers succeed in raining the
thieves down.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia special
from Fort Worth says; "The posse
on the trail of the bank robbers
overlook them yesterday near
Putnam and rode in sight of them
for four or FIVE miles, but could not
crowd them as the robbers all had
Winchesters and the arms of the
posse consisted OF pistols and shot
guns. The posse will be supplied
with Wlnchesters, and it's believed
the robbers will soon be captured,
as the snow is still on the ground
aud they can be easily tracked. 1t
was reported late last night that
the robbers had been surrounded
at Battle creek, between Putnam
and Cottonwood, this county,

FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Rtdnced 4sntes Wanted From the
Southern Pacific.


The San Francisco E1amintr says
that A. 7. Hatch and number of
others interested in the fruit industry
waited upon the Southern Pacific peo-
pie yesterday in relation to procuring
favorable rates on fruit shipments to
Eastern points. Charles Crocker,
Colonel Fred Crocker, General Man.
ager Towne and General Traffic Man
ager Stubbs were with the delegation.
The request of the fruit men in sub
stance was that the company charge
$500 per car for a special train OF ten
cars to Chicago run on fast time, and
5000 per car for ten cars run on
slow time to the same place a so
t40O per car load for special trains
to New York. The railroad officials
were favorably disposed towards the
delegation's request, but, as General
Traffic Manager Stubbs stated, they
would do nothing until they saw how
far their Eastern connections were
willing to 90 in making low rate.
The conference was then dissolved.
As the Transcontinental Association
meets in San Francisco on May 1st, il
Is almost certain that the subject will
be taken up by it, at the suggestion Of
Mr.. Stubbs, and definite po icy out
lined for the handling of California
fruit shipments to the East.

TOURIST TRAVEL.
Two Moro Excursions Coming
From the East.


Two more excursions are en- route
to this city. One left New York
under the auspices Of the Sunse!
Company on Monday and will proceed
via New Orleans and arrive here
about Monday next. 1t consists o.
six carloads OF tourists. The other is
. Phillips excursion and left Bostor
yesterday morning. 1t will come
over the Santa Fe's lines and is due
here on Tuesday next.
Regarding the special train excur-
sion which left this city last week via
the Burlington route, Mr.. ]. B. Quig.
lev, the representative of that com.
pany in this territory, yesterday re-
ceiyed the following telegram
April, 18th.
"Excursion party left Denver last
night on special; will reach Missouri
river about A O'Clock to-day"
w. D. SANBoRN.
The Burlington excursion which
will leave tbs city next week prom
isos to be as mammoth au affair as its
predecessors. Three carloads of pas
songers are already booked, thereby
beating the previous recocds and in
dicating that when the excursion
starts it will be without parallel in
this city.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
COMING TO CALIFORNIA.
Another Eastern TOAD Anxious
10 Get Here.

Another Eastern Road Anxious
10 Get Here.
The Chicago Times says that it is
announced, upon very good authority,
that the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Company is behind the pro-
posed Leavenworth and Denver Short
Line, which is just now exciting a
great deal Of interest among the busi-
ness men of Denver and points along
the proposed line. 1t is known that
the st. Paul has purchased $50 acres
Of waterfront at Oakland, and that it
has quietly secured the right of way
for distance of $50 miles from Oak
land, through Stanton and Lathrop.
The direction of the route selected
Is eastward from the Pacific Coast to
Salt Lake City, and the expressed in
tention of the people having in charge
h. IA. Heavenworth and Denver Short
Line is to construct line from the
former point to Denver, then west
ward through the mountains to Salt
Lake City. It is very easy to believe
that the st. Paul is interested in the
new enterprise. 1t has been an open
secret among railroad men for several
years that the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul is anxious to reach the
coast, and it is only question OF
time until this company will operate
line of its own from the Missouri
river to San Francisco.
The company has an independent
line to Kansas CITY and is anxious for
western and southwestern branches:
Itwould be an easy matter to extend
this line to Leavenworth and thence
westward to Denver. A statement is
made that the Denver people propose
10 tunnel the mountains and push the
new line on to Salt Lake.
When these disjointed facts are put
together, it rounds out colossal but
entirely feasible scheme behind
which comes up the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railroad Compa-
ny striking for the Pacific Coast. The
Burlington, Santa Fe, Missouri Pa
cific and Union Pacific found it essen
tial to build to Denver. The Rock
Island is on the way, and the signs
indicate that the St. Paul is making
formidable preparations for the west
ward march, and that the proposed
short line from Leavenworth to Den
yer is in the line of its advance.

Snrinrs Of the Chinese.

The Chinese in California do not de-
post their savings in our banks, but
leave their surplus earnings with some
storekeeper for safety until they are
ready to send the money to China. The
storekeeper does not pay the depositor
any interest; ON the contrary, he charges
him a small sum for taking care of the
money. The result is some of the prin-
cipal merchants in San Francisco have a
large amount of money in their hands
all the time. The danger of being robbed
is very slight, as all the employees and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night, but what
some one is awake and moving about.
The money is generally kept in a fire
proof safe or vault. san Francisco Cor.
