NEWS SUMMARY.
ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY.
Nearly $4,000 Stolen From Bank
i'm Hurley. Wis

Cashier Wiley OF the Ashland National
Bank, shipped an immense sum OF money
10 Hurley, Wis, the other night via the
United States Express Company, for the
purpose of paying of the miners. Upon
the arrival OF the money AT Hurley the ex
press company sent IL To the Iron Exchange
Bank in "a whee!barrow. Between the
hours OF 10 80 and III 80 at night the bank
was entered and the entire amount OF the
shipment was carried away by robbers
Only minor coin was left behind Accord
ing 10 Cashier Willey's statement Si1 200
was shipped from Ashland 10 Hurley. or
this so, lSO was in bank notes, $l3, $50 in
gold and g., $40 in silver.
The robbers as there must have been
more than one, had their plans laid most
perfectly. Like nearly every bank, the
Hurley depository has vault and "a safe
inside Of IT. with a time lock. AS the money
arrived in town at 9:l5 p. m, after the
closing of the bank, the money could not be
put in the safe. 1t was placed inside the
vault however, and Cashier w. >. Key
nolds remained in the bank taking care OF
the large treasure until 10 ID clock, when
a friend came along and he went out TO the
tleater with him. When the cashier re
turned at IL 30 he noticed that the vault
door had been opened. Looking inside he
was thunderstruCk TO see that the money
was gone. a large number of small silver
CONS were sea; erred all over the floor
of the vault and all was confusion.
Sheriff Mattson was hurriedly
telegraphed 10, but did not
receive any notice of the robbery until
too late 10 catch the train for Hurley. Not
even the fautest clue was left by the bold
burglars. The door of the vault had not
been marred and il was opened by some
one who had lie armed the combination.
There were two men supposed 10 be in pos
session of it--Cashier Reynolds and AS
sistant Cashier Leon trd Perrin.
~ az tVaf .fENA
The robbers were evidently in too much Of
a hurry 10 take small silver and II, S05 was
left behind. The United States express
company is the loser of the money They
did not deposit in the bank, but simply left
it there for safe keeping over night when il
would be delivered TO the consgnee. Man
ager William II. Lyon of the Ashland and
Germania mines 1t is likely that the ex
press company will offer heavy reward
for the apprehension of the burglars.

Grove w. Griffin, who keeps a grocery
across the street from the county
Jail in Muskegon, was counting bis
cash and preparing to go home
the other night, when a stranger entered
the door, and presenting "A revolver TO
Grffius face, ordered him TO stand and
deliver. Griiin started 10 20 round the
counter to give the money 10 the robber,
but the villain. thinking Griffin was pre-
pairing TO resist, Immediately fired his re-
volver at him, the bail passing through
Gritfiu's wrist and p.ougliug turrow in
his neck, where IL lodged back OF the Jugu-
lar vein. Griffin retained self-control
enough to hand the highwdyman his purse
containing Slo0, and the latter at once left
the store anddisappeared.
Going to his home. a block away, as fast
as he could, Griffin gave the al rm and
physician was summoned aud the police
notified. The wounded man Dled profusely,
but his physician rs the wound, while
serious is not uecess ,rily fatal. He was
unable to find the ball.
Griffin associates his assailant with
man who had enterci his store in a drunken
condition few days before and had made
such trouble that Griffin hid him arrested.
This fellow, who lives at Button, about
four miles down the lake, declared he would
get even with Grimm aud "fiN' him as soon
as he got "a chance. The description of the

A Disgrace to Manhood.

A disgraceful exposure has just been
made in Spokane Falls, W. T., which impli-
Gates two members Of the common council
and police officer-Sidney ID. Waters
Peter butcher and William GiHespie-who
are charged with conspiracy 10 appropriate
the funds and supplies furnished by contri-
button for the relief OF the sufferers by the
recent disastrous fire at Spokane. Several
weeks ago Robert lnglis was arrested at
Chico, Cal, on CHI rye of having sold pro.
visions and other supplies and appropriated
the proceeds. He was suspected, but made
his escape from Spokane Falls. He was
captured at Chico, and on being brought
back made the startling statement that a
conspiracy existed among officials and
others for the appropriation OF the relief
supplies on a large scale. Inglis was ex-
amned and admitted To bail, but he has
since disappeared. The supposition is that
he was bought of.
Investigation shows that several thou.
sand dollars worth OF goods have been
stolen and converted into money Bitter
feeling prevails over the exposure.
Warrants were sworn out by the chIir-
man of the relief committee, for the arrest
of the accused men and they were admitted
TO bail in the sum or $40 o.
1t has long been suspected that a conspir-
acy existed in the council for the purpose
of DOODLE and a permanent citizens com
mittee has been org niZed TO protect the
people against n recurrence of official mis-
conduct
There is great excitement over the ar
rests. The relief committee has adopted
vigorous measures for the discovery Of the
whereabouts OF Robert lnglis, who for
feited his bond, and IL is expected that he
will be captured.

producer the slave of the manufacturer:
lays its heaviest burden on the farmer, the
mechanic and the day laborer; gives no re-
turn through any channel TO those whom
il daily robs ana fosters trusts, which are
the legitimate result of our present tariff
system, aud we denOunct the fallacy of the

high tariff is or can be any protection to
the farmer.

system OF voting, TO the end that we may
have an honest ballot, uncontrolled by
bribery or employers.

temperance, we demand the passage of a
carefully guarded license tax law which

provd that for such license an annual tax
of 5000 shall be paid the county treasurer,
and such further tax as the town, township
or municipal corporation shall prescribe,
the proceeds thereof TO 90 10 the use of

honorably discharged union soldiers who
were in ured in the line Of duty or who are
unable by reason Of age or other infrmities
To support their families, shall receive lib
eral pensions and the special care of the
government, we denounce as an insult TO
