A BOLD ROBBER.
Money Demanded Under Threat of
Murder and Suicide.

Money Demanded Under Threat of
Murder and Suicide.
DAYTON. o., Aug. 15.-During the past
three or four days stranger, who claimed
Chattanooga, Tenn, as his home, has been
playing faro at the gambling rooms at
tached to Wagner's paIatial saloon, No. 10
South Main street, and lost large sum of
money.
About noon yesterday, when he entered
the rooms, Steve and Bill Lecompte, WE'LL
known gamblers, and s. Wagner, Sr., we're
the only occupants of the rooms. Pulling
out his revolver he ordered Wagner to hand
over the bank roll. II will kill two OF you
and then shoot myself" grimly said the
robber.
THE MONEY HANDED OVER.
A roll amounting to Sl96 was handed out
and he coolly made his escape, presenting
his revolver at several persons whe at-
tempted to detain him
No trace OF him has yet been found. He
had called on Wagner earlier in the day
asking for $50 to help him out of town.
This money was given to him and he
signed the namo of E. E. Paling to re-
ceipt and said he was from Chattanooga,
Tenn, where his business had been burned
out, and that the money he lost playing faro
yesterday was part of the insurance money
he had received. The sensation has tenn
porarily caused the closing of all gambling
houses in the city. There will be probably
no great effort made to arrest the man.

Cincinnati Ends in Death.

balloon ascension by Miss Annie Harkess,
whose home is IN Tsrre Haute, Ind. The
young lady has acquired some distinc-
tion as an aeronaut and had made
q number Of daring parachute des
scents from balloons. This afternoon a
large crowd Of pleasure seekers thronged
the grounds to witness the ascension. At
the appointed time the young lady came
forward and stepped into the car. The
ropes were losened at once and the balloon
ment grew louder as tire prepara-
tiens for the descent were made.
AZ an elevation OF 900 feet the parachute
was let go. It slowly began TO unfold.
Suddenly the parachute closed and with its
human burden was falling at a frightful
velocity.
AN AWFUL SIGHT.
Then the silence was broken by shrieks,
fainting of women, of children wailing and
crying, and men turned away their faces to
shut out the awful sight. Faster and
faster descended the parachute.
More intense and terrible became
the strain upon the madly excited crowd as
horror stricken it stood waiting for the
fearful end. Suddenly there struck upon
the ears of the crowd a dull sickening
sound-the end had come. A life had gone
out in the midst of pleasure. The girl was
dead.
ANOTHER AERONAUT KILLED.
TACOMA, VASE, Aug. 15.-An aeronaut
named johnson fell from balloon TO the
ground, distance of about 1000 feet, this

a Cheerful Liar.

The fog was SO thick recently, that
millions of wild geese became bewildered
and lit in Bartles meadow, where they
were caught by the sackful. The fog
was SO thick that mans hand could
not be seen before his face, but every
body caught large numbers of geese
being attracted to them by the painting
of the exhausted birds. By evening a
cold snap occurred, and next morning
the geese were found in vast quantities,
their feet frozen to fences, trees, etc., on
which the pirds had lit. Jerome Bartle
and Uncle George Cox estimated they
had nine miles of fencing broken down
by the weight of the geese.-McC loud

AN Enuounrsr; " it.I !. sBqrglar.s,

Will Garretson had a thrilling encoun-
ter with bold burglar the other night
that scared both of them considerably
His neighbor Alex Mcleod had. gone on
a camping-out trip and expected to be
absent about month. The house was
therefore closed up for the time and one
may imagine the feelings of Mr.. Gar
retson, as he got out of bed one night to
get a drink of water for his baby, when
he saw man wandering through Mr..
McLeod's house with lighted candle in
his hand Will watched him as he
went from room to room pick
ing up things, here and there on
his joruney. When he was
fully satisfied that it was a burglar he
hastily pulled on some clothes and ran
over to the marshal's Office to find Con
Howe. Not finding him there he pro-
cured number of volunteers from
Wiseman & Buffers saloon and all
marched back, in rapid order and quick
ly surrounded the house, so as to make
it impossible for the burglar, to escape.
just as all was ready for the grand at
tack Alex Mcleod himself, whom Mr..
Garretson supposed to be hundred
miles away stuck his head out OF the
window and said ''Is that you Will? And
Will said stYe-es.'' And then there WAS
silence among the besiegers for the
space of half a minute which was atlast
broken by one of the company amid
bursts of uncomfortable laughter, saying
''The cigars are on you WILL" And
they were.
