Pursuit of Robber and Murderer
Whose Capture Is Problematical.
COLUMBUS GROVE, Ohio, Aug. 1O.-Early
this morning the men in pursuit of the
fugitive bank robber and now murderer,
were awake ard resumed the chase for the
criminal. William Vandemark, the far
mer shot yesterday, died at o'clock this
morning and by his death new zest was
given to the man-hunters and stronger
denomination that he should be taken
dead or alive.
Word was received by telegram that he
mad been traced to point near Beaver
Dam, a small village eleven miles south Of
this place, and to that point every body that
could get vehicle went. At IL o'clock
joint meeting WAS held between the presi-
dent OF the board OF county COM
mlss'oners OF Putnam county, the mayor
and council of this village and the presi-
dent OF the Exchange bank and a reward
was agreed upon and is offered as follows:
The county offers $500. municipality $3.50
and the bank 5000; besides this a subscllp-
ton paper has been started among the
people, Which, in connection with the Off
clal amount offered, aggregates considera-
bly, above $1,000. Policemen from the
forces OF neigh boring cities and several ex-
perlenced detectives have formed in the
chase.
1t is now said that the desperate is be-
You'd reach. and it is fashionable if he is
ever caught at all. A ter the chase was
given up last night the man stopped with
some laborers building pipe line

The stolen horse was tied to the branches
OF a tree by rope halter during his stay at
this place, and All attempt was made to buy

THE RIPENING CROPS.

Another Installment of Favorable Re-
ports From the Fields.
HURON, S. D., Special Telegram. Aug. 10.
The state weather bureau crop bulletin,
jus: issued, for the past week, says that the
temperature during the forepart of the
week was below, while the later part was
above the average. The rain was IN local
showers, poorly distributed, and in some
localities attended by destructive hail.
The absence Of general rains,
the abundant sunshine and
the warm weather have combined to pro-
duce the most favorable harvest weather
for South Dakota. Corn has made a
marked improvement but in some coun-
ties in the state now needs rain. as do also
late potatoes and 1nillet. The harvestin.
Of small grain is nearly completed except
in the northern counties, and considerable
threshing of barley and oats has been done
in the southern counties. The grass crop
would be benefited by rain and il, few
localities stands in need oft. Destructive
hail storms are reported from portions OF
Miner and McCook counties.
