A SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY.

This second intruder had gained the
inner side of the railing by means of a
rear entrance from the banking rooms,
and stood calmly pointing a couple of re-
volvers at the head of the cashier. ''They

Keeping his pistols still pointed at the

men made their escape from town.
The two men had hired a livery team nj
Concordia and driven to within half Il
mile OF Corder. Here they embarrassed
the horses, and mounting their bare backs
rode to Corder. In rear OF the bank

alarm, Cashier Groves would have had
that duty to perform. The men showed a
close attention to detail in every particu-
lar. They were not in a hurry, were not
fiurried, they calmly and coolly took
what money the bank had in sight, as
coolly mounted their horses and rode
away. Subsequent events, however chang
ed the calm serenity of their course, and
while one of the robbers escaped, his
share of the plumber was light. The other
one not only lost the ill-gotten gain of
his raid, but his life as well.
GROVES STORY.
Cashier Groves, of the Bank of Corder,
| am told, sat alone in his banking room
Monday afternoon, posting his books at
the close of the days business. Monday
is not usually a heavy day, and besides
some large checks had been paid that
afternoon, leaving but a small supply OF
money on hand. There are few deposit
tors, the village being small, the bank
having been established as a branch OF
the larger one at Higginsville. When Mr.
Groves heard footsteps On the floor he was
bending over a column of figures, and die
not look up until his visitor had reached
the wicket through which the banks
business is done. He supposed the per.
son was one of his customers of the bank
and, seeing him busy adding the column
would wait until he was through. When
he did look up finally, it was directly in.
to the muZzle of a large and shining
revolver. "Hold up your hands; we NEAR
business" was the greeting he had, and
up went his hands. The man wore q
straw hat, into the swaziland of which
had been sewed a black mask with two
holes for eyes. Happening to glance
behind him the cashier beheld a SECOND
man unmarked.

A TOUGH CASE.

The Eureka Sentinel reports
the following pcis oning case:
Five men employed on r. Sad
ler's ranch, at Sulphur Station,
this county. narrowly escaped
death by poison on Tuesday night
last. They were George Woods
and Il ur others whose names were
not given us. Arsenic in large
quantities had been put in the
sugar. George Woods began eat
ing his supper a little in advance
of the others and got the worst
dose OF the poison. 1t was the
overdose that he got that saved
them all. When he began to drink
his tea he noticed it had bitter
taste. Then it occurred to him
that he had not sweetened it, and
he put in more sugar. 1t was still
bitter. He next put sugar and
milk on plate of rice and began
eating that. This had a bitter
tase. A moment later nausea sat
in, and he ran to the door to re
lleye himself by vomiting. There
were two small puppies in the door
yard. One of them tapped the
milk and rice that Woods had
emitted and was seized with con-
vulsions and died in few minutes
This tol the story, and there was
great alarm among the victims.
They rightly conjectured that the
poison must be in the sugar. and
to test the fact fed a small GUAM
THY to the o her puppy. He too
quiVered and expired in few min
utes. The boys were all sick, but
Woods was much the worst. They
used such antiiotes as they pos
sessed. and a hands maraged to
pull through, though Woods still
looks badly. He came in Wedns-
day night and placed himself under
medical treatment. The other
boys got less of the poison. and
escaped with less injury. Samples
of the "ugar brought in and left
with the Sheriff show plainly the
crystals of arsenic in great pro-
fusion. The cause of all the
trouble IS supposed to be Lee Ling
n Oh nese cook. AS to the motive
OF the crime, that is not clear. A
Chinaman committed suicide on
this ranch a few months ago. He
was a cousin of Lee Ling. 1t is
said that Lee assumed that his
cousin had been foully dealt with
and made threats that he would
get even.
A warrant is out for his arrest
and the officers are on the track
Of the fugitive.
