especial Bald Knob grand jury" Quite
a number of people from the country
came in, but the number of strangers was
not very large. as few people were per-
mitted to witness the execution. Mat

evening, and it was learned this morning
that several other of his relatives were
here.
Divine services we're opened in the Jail

Hanks, D. E. Graystone and T. B. Horn,
assisted by few Christian ladies. The
service was continued up to the hour of

led in prayer once, but persons on the
outside could hear very. little that was
said by him.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, May THE bank Of
Forest City, in Holt County, about forty
miles north OF here, was the victim of
bold robbery at 80 p. m. At that hour
George Weber, the president, c. j. Hunt,
the cashier, and Wesley Sanford were
sitting outside the counter when three
men, all of dark complexion and
wearing SLOUGH hats, but who were mask
ed. entered. The cashier arose TO go be-
hind the counter, when the visitors drew
their revolvers and covered all three.
Cashier Hunt was marched around be-
hind the counter with pistol at his hea
and compelled to show where the funds
were, while the president and Sanford
were held in front. The result was
that about $500 in cash was OBJ
tanned as the booty. Then Cashier
Hunt, President Weber and Sanford
were marched to the rear of the
building and were ordered to remain
there till the robbers had time to get
away. They lost no time in giving the
alarm, however, but it was too late. The
robbers had taken away the two revolvers
kept by the cashier behind the counter,
and the town only having about four hum
dred people, there were but two or three
revolvers in the town, and they could not
be gotten in time to make an effective
pursuit.
Posses were started out, but thus far no
clew has been found. The directors will
offer $1,000 reward for the apprehension
of the thieves. A number of robberies
have been perpetrated in that region, and
it is believed that the gang has its head
quar- tiers either here or in the river bot
toms to the north of here.

The people have been very quiet all
day. They discuss the revolving scene at
the scaffold and are somewhat bitter in
their denunciation OF the bungling work.
Many of the people in this county think
the hanging was very unjust punish
ment, but recognize the fact that it was
the duty of every good citizen to submit
to the enforcement OF the law.
