LAYING FOR HIM.
AN ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIN
ATE DETECTIVE BALDWIN.
4 POCKET BOOK SAVES HIS LIFE.
The Defective Fires Shot Which
Took Effect, and Tracks His
AssniIant by Blood Spots
on the Ground.

News was received here yesterday
of an attempt to assassinate Detective
w G. Baldwin at Turkey Gap last
Saturday night.
Mr.. Baldwin was going over the
Elkhorn line, according to his custom
alter pay day, and stopped for short
time at the Turkey Gap Coal COM
pany's store. leaving there about 10
o'clock that night and going up the
lire about two miles. On his return
about 10 o'clock, when near the store,
he saw some one on the track about
thirty feet from him. AS he APP
preached the man he stepped off the
main track to siding, where car
was standing. Just as he passed,
within ten feet of the end of the car,
he heard the click Of a revolver.
Quick us flash he drew his pistol
and turned towards the point from
which the sound proceeded. In doing
so he presented his left side to the
man who Immediately fired, shooting
Mr. Baldwin through the breast of
his coat. The ball passed through his
vest, striking large pocket
book just over the heart, going
through the book, a roll Of money
and checks, and five or six other
papers with a lot of business cards,
where it lodged. The force of the
shot knocked him down, causing him
to miss his man, who ran away.
In following, Mr.. Baldwin dropped
his pistol, but was on his feet almost
Immediately, but the would be-assas-
sin had then gotten thirty or forty
yards distant. Mr.. Baldwin fired
twice and heard him cry out as if
struck. Mr. Baldwin then went to
the company's store, where he pro-
cured lantern, and with one of his
men, tracked his assailant some three
hundred yards by blood spots on the
ground.
The man, it is thought, was on the
watch for MI. Baldwin, with the evil
dent intention of killing him. Had he
not heard the click oil the pistol and
turned he would most certainly have
been shot through the back. The de
tectives have obtained IL clue to the
wouldbe- murderer, and are liz fair
way of capturing him.

BOLD ROBBERY.
THE CASHIER SCOOPS IN
NEARLY $4,000.
How HIS ARREST Was EFFECTED.
A Great Sensation Caused I'm Society
The Work OF Ferrcting out the
Robbers Carried on I'm
Systematic Manner.

MILWAUKEE,, November 25.-The
arrest of Assistant Cashier Perrin Of
the Iron Exchange bank of Hurley,
together with a woman and man
named Baker, charged with completely
in the bank robbery, has caused
great sensation. On the night Of
September Goth nearly $4,000 in cash
was stolen from the bank vaults OF
the Iron Exchange bank at Hurley.
The money was intended to pay of
the employees of the Germania and
Ashland Mining companies and had
been shipped from Ashland by the
United States Express company. The
money was taken to the bank In
wheelbarrow and was placed in the
vault. Between the hours OF 1890
and 11.30 o'clock the bank was en-
tered and the entire amount carried
off. Circumstances surrounding the
big haul indicated that it had been
carried out by men who carefully laid
their plans and who were also
in possession of the inside secrets
of the bank. Like nearly every bank,
the Hurley depository had a vault
and safe inside of it with a time
lock. AS the money arrived at 9.16
p. M, after the closing of the bank,
and the money could not be put into
the safe, it was placed inside the
vault, however, and the cashier, w.
s. Reynolds, remained in the bank
taking care of the large treasure until
1915 o'clock, when he went to the
theatre with two friends. When the
cashier returned at 11.30 o'clock, in
company with Mr.. Langdon, he no.
ticed that the vault door had been
opened. Looking inside he was thun-
derstruck to see that the money was
gone. A large number Of small silver
coins were scattered all over the floor
of the vault, and all was in confusion.
Sheriff Matson was telegraphed to at
Ashland, but did not receive notice
of the robbery until too late to catch
the train for Hurley.
Not the faintest clue was left by the
bold burglars. The door of the vault
was not marred. and it was opened by
some one who had learned the COM
bination. There were; only two men
supposed to be in possession of
it, Cashier Reynolds and Assistant
Cashier Perrin. The United States
Express company at once sent detec-
tives to Hurley, but after few days
work the men were ostensibly with
drawn, and it was given out that no
clue to the robbery had been dis
covered. The express company man
ayers also announced that the bank
would be held liable, while the bank
officials in turn declared they would
do nothing, as the express company
would have to stand the loss. All
this was done, however, to throw the
robbers off the track. Men were
placed in Hurley, Prowood and even
Ashland, in all sorts of DISCUSSES and
positions, and the work of ferreting
out the robbers was carried on in the
most systematic manner. That some
one connected with the bank was i'm
plicated in the robbery was evidently
the opinion from the outset, but to
work this out took time and patience,
for the reason that all the bank Off
Gals stood very high in Hurley and
had many friends.
