ASHLAND, ILL.,, Nov 2l.-A bold and
successful robbery was committed boro
some time during the night. Four or

away, making their escape.
The noise of the explosion startled
the entire townvand within fifteen min.

DUST how much the robbers secured Ia
not known, but there was alarpe amount
OF money in the safe. MANY of the
stolen securities are negotiable,
Ihe amount secured is not exoctlv

reach $2,hOo. Two fine horses and a set
of harness belonging to J. B. Hill ana
a, sprung wagon belonging to a Mr..
Iooker are missing, and are supposed

TACT that farmer going to Ashland
about o'clock this morning passed
three men in q spring wagon. A
small canvass-bag containing powder
and some tools are the only clews. It
was afterward found that the tools. n

The job was neatly done, the vault |
doors being forced open, and after the |
sare was rified the vault was neatly |
closed again, Before the burglars did |
this work they entered hardware

not finding anything suitable they left
leaving the doors open.

ful powder explosion occurred shortly
after noon yesterday in the Blanch

John liullym miner, is missing, but
1t is not known whether he was about

The explosion occurred as the men
, were returning from dinner, which was
providential, for had it occurred ten
minutes later the destruction of life
would haze been something dreadful.
The force of the explosion was terrific
tho ground being shaken as though by
an earthquake. The force of the ex-
piosion is further shown by the dis
tnnce to which some of the men were
blown through the air. in some cases
over 100 yards.
1t is supposed that the explosion was
caused by piece of fuse which became
nghted in some manner and conveyed
the fatal spark to The boxes In which
the powder cans were kept
The scene at the mouth of the nina
following the explosion was one of
great excitement. The entire popula.
tion gathered and the women. suppos.

the mine than really were, begged that
rescuers GO III to them. 1t would have
been death, however, to have cone in

That some of those who were In tho

due TO the presence Of mind of James
