piece Of mechanism, finished in the
highest style OF art and painted. Mr..

% January IA u construction COM
pauy was organized for the purpose OF
constructing the Houston, Central
Arkansas aud Northern railroad, which
doubtless represents more wealth in a
small circle than is usually embraced
in organizations of this kind.
The company Is composed OF G. NJ.

where he is at the head of large
banking interest, beside being connect

Il. =. Reynolds Il Co. Of Rock Island,
H., and Wymore, Neb. This latter
firm has been engaged in construction
for almost a quarter of a century, hav-
ing built many of the roads in Kansas,
Colorado and Nebraska, and are with
out doubt the weaithiest contractors in
the west.
Supplementary TO the Sgreement
entered into between President Bright
of the Houston, Central Arkansas and
Northern railroad and the construction
company, the latter filed a bond for
Sl50,000 binding themselves to COM

ROBBERS GET A FORTUNE
THE MONEY TO PAY OFF MINERS
STOLEN FROM A BANK.

The Total Amount of Money Taken
$50 So5 - The Robbery Committed
While the Cashier Was Absent for
an Hours Recrestion-A Big Reward
Sure to be offered.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 21-A special from
Hurley, Wis, says: Every month about
this time the Ashland and Germa ia iron
mining companies pay off their large forces
of emnloyes, and for this purpose Cashier
Wiley of the Ashland National Bank
shipped an immense sum of money to Hur-
lev last night via the United States Ex-
press Company. Upon the arrival of the
money at Hurley the express company sent
it to the Iron Exchange Bank in a wheel
barrow. Between the hours of 1880 and
11:50 o'clock last night the bank was en-
tered and the entire amount of Shipment
was carried away by robbers.
THE AMOUNT SHIPPED.
According to Cashier Willey's state
ments SAL 200 was shipped from Ashland TO
Hurley. OF this $25, $50 was in bank notes.
1880 in gold and $3.50 in silver. The
robbers had their plans laid m st per-
factly. Like nearly every bank, the
Hurley depository has a vault and
safe inside of it with time lock.
As the money arrived at 9:15 o'clock at
night, after the closing of the bank, it
could not be put in the safe. 1t was placed
in a sids vault, however, and Cashier Rey-
nodS remained in the bank taking care of
the treasure until 10:15 o'clock, when
friend came along and lie went out TO the
theater with him.
THE MONEY GONE.
"Wben the cashier returned at IL o'clock
he no iced that the vault door had been
oneled. Looking inside he was thunder.
struck to see that the money was gone A
number of silver coins we're scattered over
the foo OF the vault and ali was conf sion.
Sheriff Matson was hurriedly telegraphed
to, but did not receive any notice OF the
robbery until too late to catch the train
for Hurley. Not even the faintest clew
was left by the burglars.
KNEW THE COMBINATION.
"The door of the vault had not been
marred, and it was opened by some one
who had learned the combination. There
were only two men supposed to be in pos
session Of the secret-Cashi' r Reynolds and
Assistant Cashier Leonard Perrine. The ex-
act amount stolen was $59, ,S95. The robbers
we're evidently in too mucd OF hurry to
take the small silver, and $1,S05 was left
behind.
THE EXPRESS COMPANY THE LOSER.
The United States Express C,mpany is
the loser of the money. They did not de-
posit it in the bank, but merely left it there
for safe keeping over night when it would
be delivered to the consignee. Manager NJ.
