Three Bank Burglars Fooled.

OMAHA, NEB., April 2s.-Three men
made an attempt to rob the Oak Valley
Bank at Valparaiso, Saunders county, yes

bank where Cashier Chamberlain and G.
]. Johnson were engaged in conversation,
but before he could cover either johnson
or Chamberlain the latter had secured
what cash was in sight and johnson was
swapping a revolver at the intruders. The
robber with the gun fired one shot at
johnson, grazing his neck Then all three
Of the would-be robbers ran. Two escaped
in buggy, but the third, evidently Devil
dered, bolted away from the buggy and
was captured. A posse is in pursuit of the

WHERE JEWS M.iYGo.
Baron Hirsch md the Rothchilds to
Provide n Place for Them.


LONDON, April 2s.--The Iag Nall Gazette
gives great prominence to a scheme which
is said to have been drafted in order to
transport Hebrews from Poland and from
the southeast Of Europe to an immense
tract of uninhabited land in Australia or
Brazil. Baron Hirsch is credited with
having originated this idea and he is said
to have had long conference in Paris
last week with a number Of most
able advisors in charitable matters
The baron according to the report
then decided TO give S15,000000 himself
with which to start the project. Full de-
tails of the plan for wholesale Hebrew i'm
migration are not given, but it is under
stood that Baron Hirsch will be supported
in this undertaking by other opulent
Hebrews. 1t is expected, for instance, that
the Rothschilds will contribute even more
largely than Baron Hirsch to this new
scheme. The addition of this plan, it is
asserted, is greatly due to the fact that the
United States is closing her ports to desti-
tute persons.

A lad named John Joyce, living at No
617 Lombard street, was attacked Thursday
by large dog at Fourth and Lombard
streets. The boy was sitting on a door
step, when the brute flew savagely at him,
tearing his right leg below the knee in a
frightful manner. The boys cries caused
the dog to desist. The brute's teeth barred
the leg to the bone, and also left indenta-
of the shoe. The boy was carried to the
office of Dir. Joseph X. Smith, Seventh and
Poplar streets. The decorations of the flesh
were so bad that it required tedious work
to sew up and properly dress the wounds.
The dog was not rabid. 1t is a large,
brown colored animal.
