BANK ROBBED.
The Presidents Wife Compelled to
Hand Over s1O,6OO.
In Vehicles. With Ropes, and Fully
Armed, In Pursuit-The Robbers
Have Fifteen Minutes Start.

Ell RENO, O. T., July 2S.-El Reno
was thrown into fever of excitement
ut 1880 Wednesday morning by screams
for help coming from the bank of FL
Reno. The screams were from Mrs. s.
w. Sawyer, wife of the president of the
bank, who had just been held up by
two robbers, who had also robbed tho
bank of slO,500.
AT half-past 10 stranger entered tho
bank, stepped up to the cashiers win
dow, and made an inquiry about some
town lots, and then stepped to n desk
and commenced writing. In a moment
another stranger stepped to the cashiers
desk, and presenting a gun at Mrs.
Sawyer's head, demanded that she
hand out all the money in the bank.
She stepped to the vault, and handed
him all the packages of bills in the
vault safe, and what was in the daily
change drawer, aggregating about S1O,-
500.
The man who was writing Mt the
desk grabbed the money as Mrs Saw
yer handed it through the wicket. and
disappeared out the door. The one
holding the gun followed quickly. Mrs.
Sawyer screamed several times and
fell over in swoon. The robbers
mounted horses and rode away. Mrs.
Sawyer was the only person in the
bank, the president, her husband, being
absent in Oklahoma City He arrived
at home about thirty minutes after the
robbery.
The robbery is believed to be the
work of the Daltons, on account of the
manner of its execution. Hundreds of
citizens, on horseback and in buggies,
with ropes and fully armed, are in pur-
suit. The robbers had only about fif-
teen minutes start. They were well
mounted and armed to the teeth They
headed for the Dalton rendezvous, in
the Granite mountains, in the Wichita
reservation.

erty Swept Away at Ludlow. Ky.
CINCINNATI, July 27.-Firc broke out
In the Standard Oil Co.'S works, Lud-
low. KY, Tuesday afternoon, and the
fire was not eNtinguished ut o'clock
Wednesday morning.
According to the most reliable state
ments, $4,000 barrels of rosin and 10, 900
barrels of turpentine, besides about
1000 barrels of benzinc, were destroyed,
together with the buildings in which
they were stored, and fifteen freight
ears standing on siding near tho
plant.
The fire started about s o'clock A
new engine of the Southern road was
being broken in. 1t is No. 517, and was
known as the Big Hog. The
origin of the fire is best de-
scribed by Mrs. Detmiller, whose cot
tage, on the hill to the west of the plant,
is the closest habitation to il. She
said: II was sitting on my porch sew
ing, and an engine had been racing up
and down the track all afternoon. Sud
denly | looked toward the warehouse
and saw blaze of fire about as big as
tub. 1t seemed to be on the ground
beside the platform, which ran the en-
tire length of the sheds. | think it
started from spark from the engine.
which fell among the rosin dust that
coated the surroundings of the sheds.
While l looked the flame grew
larger, crept up to the platform,
and from there climbed up the
side to the roof 1t seemed that
the whole place was ablaze in a min
ute
The plant was n sort of shipping sta
ton for the Standard Oil Co. Stock that
was collected all through the south was
stored there. and shipped as from n
central point, as necessity required.
The only men, therefore, employed
about the place were few who inspect
ed, weighed and sorted the stuff, as it
was received, and foreman. At dusk
tuesday evening the last tank, that
which contained 5000 barrels of
turpentine was burning, throwing
out intense heat and tossing vol
umes of coal black smoke upward into
the air. Here and there pile of oil
soaked wood was blazing illuminating
the smoke as it rolled away. Tho fire
covered an area almost 1000 feet long
and 80 feet wide. All the telegraph
poles on which the wires of the South
ern road We're strung were burned
away and the wires down.
The closest estimate of the loss places
the aggregate at not less than $3.50. 600.
and 1t may run higher when it can be
definitely determined just how much
stuff was stored in the place.
Three men were injured while en-
deavoring to save Southern railroad
property. The black clouds of smoke
that passed over this city caused cy-
clone scare for while, until the real
cause was known.

A FALLEN CHIEF.
Hugh o'Donnen No Longer Trusted by
the strikers.

CINCINNATI, July GA Homestead
special to the Commercial Gazette saws:
The struggle of the 5000 steel workers
employed in the huge mills of the Car
negic Co., on the bank of the Monon-
gahela, is now hopeless. There is not
the slightest opportunity for the men
to succeed. Their battle for recog-
milton by the Carnegie Co. of the Anal
gamated association in the Homestead
mills Is quite at an end. The men are
practically leaderless. They are divided
among themselves. The members of the
advisory committee are divided among
themselves, and there can no longer be
united, harmonious action. Leader
Hugh O'Donnell has utterly lost his in
huence. The strikers no longer trust
him. He was Tuesday evening strip
ping his coy little home of its furnish
lngs, preparatory to leaving Home
stead forever He informed the cor
respondents that he was only CO.
ing away to seek rest after the ex-
citing whirl of events in which he has
lived during the past three weeks. His
statement is not true. He leaves Home
stead never to return. 1t would be
folly for him to remain. Neither he
nor any of the other strike leaders or
members of the advisory committee
can ever again obtain employment in
any of the mills operated by the Car
negies. That is why he is about to
leave Homestead. That is why his ex-
ample will soon be followed by some of
the most prominent leaders of the strike
and members Of the now powerless ad-
visory committee.

TO THE DEATH.
Deputy sheriff Grant sellers Killed By
John cohey-Before Giving up the Ghost
Sellers Gives Corey "A Fatal Wound.

sellers Gives Coffey "a Fatal Wound.
SOMERSET. KY. July 29.-Thc town
of Flat Rock. Pulaski county. was the
scene of bloody and fatal encounter
between Deputy Sheriff Grant Sellers
and John Coffey. On Tuesday Coffey
was arrested and brought before the
county judge on the charge of adultery.
After a trial. in which Coffcy with diff
Guilty kept his temper, no was fined $50,
and warned that if such a thing oc-
cured again he would get a heavier
dose. Now, as the woman was very
good-lool<ing and attractive, he was
very 10th TO give her up, and further
he was angered that he had had to
part with Il good $50 bill. So in his
anger he went away vowing vengeance
against Deputy Sheriff Sellers. and
openly threatening that he would kill
Sellers on sight.
The friends of Deputy Sheriff Sellers
and those of Coffee were well aware
that both were dangerous men. and
that neither would show the white
feather, even if he could save his life bv
SO doing, and therefore they were wor-
ricd lest the two men would come to-
gether, for they knew that such a meet
ing meant death 10 one or both of them
Accordingly they made every endeaAor
TO keep them apart. These two men
were excellent shots, and either of them
could init the bulls eye every time at u
distance of 500 yards.
After the trial on Tuesday. and after
Coifey's threat that he would kill the
deputy sheriff, Sellers, who has been n
deputy sheriff for but two weeks, was
called to Flat Rock on business con-
nectcd with the sheriff's office, and came
fully armed and prepared to defend
himself, If necessary. He was walking
down the main street of the town,
little thinking that Coffey was near.
when he heard u friend of his utter n
cry of warning, and as he looked up and
reached for his gun ut the same time,
Cotfcy opened fire and shot him through
the breast. The bullet was aimed
carefully. and with the intent to kill.
and Sellers was grievously wounded and
fell on his knees. He had, however.
before the bullet struck him. drawn his
gun. Wounded 10 death rs he was. his
nerve did not desert him. for he took
careful aim, and shot Coffey four times.
Each of these shots would have been
fatal. Coffey fell TO the ground, and
then both men expired in few min
utes They were near of an age, and
were between 80 and 50 years old, and
were both married, and were popular
men in this communitv.

Manus, aged 81, a respectable citizen,
has Il son named Charles, an idle, shift

slashing his father about the face

duel continued until the combatants
could not be separated. Young Nc
Manus received three stabs in the side
that penetrated the cavity. and also
another horrible wound in the abdomen
and about a dozen cuts or stabs. His
recovery is impossible. The father was
cut number of times on the face and

knife had been sharp. The elder Nc.
Manus was arrested. He says the af.
fray would not have occurred if his son
