ROBBED or s4o,oCo.

A Big Haul Nude on the Hurley Iron
Exchange Bank.
ASHLAND. Wis, Sept. 23.-One of tho
l:.gest lanl rohbe1ies ever committed in
the state is reported from Hurley. Every
month about this time the Ashland and
Germania Iron Mining company paw off
their large forces of employees, and for
this purpose Cashier Wiley, of the Ash
land National bank, shipped an immense
sum of money to Hurley via the United
States Express company. Upon the ar
rival of the money at Hurley the express
company sent it to the Iron Exchange
bank i'll a w~hcelbarrow. Between the
hours of 10:3o and 1880 Saturday night
the hank was entered and the entire
amount of the shipment
Carried Away by Robbers.
Only minor coin was left behind. Ac-

nearly every bank the Hurley depository

The door of the vault had not been

COOPERATIVE BASE BALL LEAGUE
The Brotherhood's New Project Meeting

The Nrotherhood's New Project Meeting
With Success.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23.-Will johnson, the
street railway magnatc of this city,
whose name has been connected with
the schemes of the base ball ball brother
hood, has just returned from New York.
Some of the players have seen fit to
talk" said he, although l was sworn to
secrecy some time ago, l guess there is
no longer any effort at concealmcnt. To
begin with. let me tell you that every
player in the league, with the single ex-
ception of Arson, has signed an agree
ment to join the movement. Arson. as
l said, is the only recalcitrant. and he is
an old horse who will be led to the stable
next year. so that his absence will
not be be felt. Every one of the
others has signed a pledge to
stand by this agreement. With all
the details i'll view l am free to confess
that ! believe the league will prove a sue
cess from the start. Besides furnishing
the best ball in the country, the players
VIII have the sympathy of the people
with them. No man living that l know
Of feels friendly to the league bosses.
This selling and trading of players. as
though they We're so many cattle. is all
wrong, and the time has come when the
players must take the bull by the horns
and do something for themselves" Will
johnson is one of the hest business men
i'll the West, and his acquaintance among
the professional players is general. Espe-
cially is he friendly with all the league

Horrors Never I" BE Forgotten-Dead

QUEBEC, Sept. 21.-Thc horrors wit

work of digging out the victims contin,

He is alternately singing and shouting

The bravery of the poor mothers is
something wonderful. About 1880 Il. III.

they could be reached the voices were

ST. PAUL, Sept. 24.-Judgc Nelson, of

this state is unconstitutional. The case
came before him on a habeas corpus

was arrested at White Bear on Il charge

parties. desired to have the law tested.
Tho question was argued by Walter

Gen. Gordon E. Cole. for the state. last

is an interference with the be-

Secretary Noble Renders u Decision Affect
ing Many Claims in the Northwest.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Secretary No
bic has reversed a decision of the general
land Office in the case of Lars Nelson,
who entered a tract of land within the
Manitoba and the Northern Pacific in
demnity limits in the Fergus Falls land
district in 1870. The map of definite To-
cation was filed by the companies in the
latter part of 1871. Nelson, some time
after his entry, desired to transmute his
application from a pre-emption to a
homestead entry, but his application was
refused. He made no appeal from the
decision of the local office until twelve
years later, during which time the map
of definite location had been filed. Sec
rotary Mobiles decision says the refusal
OF the local Office to accept the applica-
ton for transmutation was erroneous,
but in the absence of any appeal previous
to the filing Of the maps of location,
Nelson virtually abandoned his claim to
the land.

publican party, recognizing the fact
that the laboring men are the wealth

CRITIcIsES STRIKERS.

Adjt. Gen. Vancc's Report to the Gov
ernor Not Very Complimentary to Spring
Valley Miners.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., Sept. 2G.-Adjt.
Gen. Vance, in his report to the governor
OH the Spring Valley coal strike and its
results, has little to say in favor of the
miners. He says the sickness among
them and their families has been greatly
exaggerated, and he criticises the miners
for their willingness to live on charity
rather than accept a compromise. The
men have been offered work by agents
of operators at various points, but have
steadily refused to leave. The adjutant
general finds evidence of a sentiment of
hostility toward both mine owners and
miners among citizens not engaged in
these pursuits, because they do not COM
promise their differences. Under the
statement of facts presented in the re-
port. it is believed Governor Fifer can
hardly do more than issue IL proclama-
ton for aid.

debris. At the foot of the cliff is a mar.
row street, which occupies all of the
space between the cape and the river.
Along the river side of this street were
situated the houses which were crushed
by the

In May. 1871. a similar landslide occurred
which destroyed several buildings and
killed tlirty-two people. From present
indications it is feared the loss Of life by

death of several persons about half a
