The wintry lands too stark and gray;

But when the night crept, vast and black,
Up the long valleys from the sea,
The cold Wind followed in his track,
And swirl and stealthy followed he.
The mad Wind clamored at my door;
His boice was like the angry sea
That breaks In thunder ON the shore,
And still he cried: "Come forth to mel"
The easements shook and shuddered sore,
He ranged the high wallis round and round
highlander rocked from roof to floor.
And all the darkness throbbed with sound
The wintry dawn rose faint and slow,
He turned him to the frozen lea,
And aye he moaned aud muttered low
Along the uplands to the sea.
Sullen and slow the Sea-wind sped;

When shall come again." he said,

KENTUcKY's BLooDYTRAoEDY
Two omcers Shot and One Torn to Pieces
by Dogs.

by Dogs.
Lexington, KY, special: Yesterday
afternoon Kavanaugh Upton. the jailer
of Montgomery County; Thomas How
ard, a Constable, George Rayburn, a
special Deputy Sheriff, and two other
men went to the mountains to capture
John Sherrell, horse-thief who stole a
horse from Madison County last week.
Upton heard he was at the house OF
George Pipps, on Cedar Trace Creek
He arrived there this morning and upon
the appearance OF the posee two fierce
dogs set up such a loud barking that
Upton concluded he would go in and
make the arrest at once instead.of wait
ing until daylight, as he first intended.
He went to the door, closely followed
by the other members of the posse. He
raped and Pipps said "Come in"
who is that?" he asked. 1T is Kava-
naugh Upton and am on on election
eering SPREE" was the reply. AN
right, said Pipps, Il will get up and
light the lamp" He struck a match
and Upton sat down on a chair and
asked him who that was in bed with
him.
Sherrell, who had been sleeping with
Pipps, leveled his pistol on the foot
board and before Pipps could reply to
Tipton's question, shot the latter in the
center of the forehead. He fell to the
floor and died within two hours.
While the match was yet burning
Howard entered the room only to re-
ceive a bullet In the temple from the
horse thiefs pistol, and he fell dead in
his tracks. Rayburn was right behind
him, and just before the match burned
out Sherrell shot him through the right
arm and shoulder.
In the darkness he made his escape
through back door, but Reyburn went
out after him. only to be caught by dogs
and almost torn to pieces. The animals
wounded him so severely that he is not
expected to live.

BOLD CRIME OF THE DALroNs
They Enter Bank In Broad Daylight

They Enter n Bank In Broad Daylight
and Carry or All the Money.
The boldest robbery OF the notorious
Daltons was committed at Ell Reno,
Oklahoma, at about 1890 Wednesday
morning. At that hour people passing
along the street were startled by
screams for help coming from the Bank
of FL Reno. The screams were from
Mrs. S. w. Sawyer, wife of the Presi-
dent of the bank, who had just been
held up by two robbers, who had also
robbed the bank Of $40, 500.
At 1880 a stranger entered the bank,
stepped up to the cashiers window and
made an inquiry about some town lots.
and then stepped to a desk and COM
menced writing. In a moment another
stranger stepped to the cashiers desk,
and presenting a revolver at Mrs. Saw
yer's head, demanded that she hand
out all the money in the bank. The
woman was so frightened that she
could not move, but the robber threat
ened to shoot II she did not act quickly,
and in dazed way she went to the
vault and handed to him all the pack
ages of bills in the vault safe
and what was In the daily
change drawer, sggregating about S10,-
500, and less than 500 of it was in
silver. The man who was writing at
the desk turned quickly and grabbed
the money as Mrs. Sawyer handed it
through the wicket and disappeared out
of the door. the one holding the revolver
following quickly. Mrs. Sawyer scream
ed several times and fell over in a
swoon. The robbers mounted horses
that were standing at the edge of the
pavement unhitched and rode out Rock
Island avenue as fast as their horses
could go. Mrs. Sawyer was the only
person present in the bank, the Presi-
dent, her husband, being absent in
Oklahoma. He arrived home about
thirty minutes after the robbery. Tho
robbery is believed to be the work of
the Daltons on account of the manner
of its execution.
