An Amateur Robber Attempts to Hold Up
"a hank Cashier But is Himself Held.


MARSHALL, Mo, Dec. 30.-A young
countryman made desperate attempt
to rob the Gillian Exchange bank at
Gillian, eighteen miles east of this city,
yesterday morning The bravery and
quick wit of the cashier alone prevented
success
About II o'clock j. X. Kirk, the cash.
ier. and o. p. Brown, the teller of the
bank, were at work near the vault. Mr..
Kirk, hearing a slight noise behind
him, turned and Immediately found
himself looking down the barrel of a
44-caiiber Smith 81 Wesson. Behind
the gun stood a man wearing 4 black
mask which covered the entire upper
portion of the face save fierce looking
eyes which glanced first at him and then
at Mr.. Brown, The unwelcome visitor
had entered noiselessly by the front
door and was standing within few feet
of Messrs. Kirk and Brown when they
discovered his presence. The stranger
requested Mr. Kirk to shell out" the
while nervously toying with the pistol
in his hand On the counter scar the
cashiers window was 4 considerable
amount of money, but this the robber
evidently did dnOt see Mr.. Kirk backed
into the vault toward the safe as if he
were going to comply with the request
and at the same time appeared to be
very much excited over the sudden
turn in. agairs. In fact he informed
the robber that this surprise had
caused him to forget the combination to
the safe and then told Mr.. Brown to go
to another part of the room and get
the combination which he would have
to have before he could secure the
money. Mr.. Brown started around
when the robber then turned his eyes
on him but at the same time kept the
gun on Mr.. Kirk. No sooner did the
intruder turn his head, than did Mr..
Kirk quickly grab the pistol and the
outstretched arm of the man. A lively
scuffie then ensued, the robber gradu
ally forcing the cashier toward the
door, the latter, although smaller in
stature. at the same time holding on
with vice like grip. Mr. Brown, in
stead of going for the combination,
went out and gave the alarm, and
DY INC Illne inc Struggling lutH
had reached the door a num-
ber of excited citizens were
there to assist the cashier. The robber
was forced to the ground and relieved
of his pistol and was then put in chains
and closely guarded until the arrival of
Constable Bridges. During the scuffle
the mans mask fell off and he was
found to be Henry Hayner, young
man about "a years of years of age, son
of John Hayner, living miles south
of Gillian. An hour after Henry's cap
ture his brother John, aged about Is,
came to town after the horse his brother
rode in on and was also arrested by Con-
stable Harry Gilham.
The prisoners were brought here last
evening and lodged in the county Jail
There was some talk of violence among
the excited and indignant citizens. But
for the interpostion of cooler heads and
careful guarding of the prisoners a
lynching might have taken place.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
Senator PETER Has Something to Say About
the rive Civilized Tribes.

the rive Civilized Tribes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. O.-''Thc time has
come" said Senator PETER, that the
white man has some rights in this coun-
try as well as the red man. This being
the case, think we had better apply
this rule very soon to the condition of
affairs down in the Indian territory.
The public domain is practically eX-
hausted, and many thousands of our
people want homes, and l am in favor
of giving them to them.
In addition to the fact that we want
more lands to give to the homeless, we
are confronted with an anomalous con-
dition of affairs in the territory. The
present occupants are not disposed to
be content with stealing and killing
among themselves, but make forays
out upon the limo cent people of other
states. Then, whenever we have .
criminal, he makes it a point to get into
that country, and we again have trOu-
BILE. We not only want the land, but
we want to wipe off the face of the
earth that population of outlaws, and,
in addition, we want the Indians to be-
come citizens and become part of u.s.
We want this, of course, just as soon
as they are able to cope with civilized
society.
THE members of the FIVE civilized
tribes would be much better off il they
were citizens of the United States
Many of them realize this and hence
the strong sentiment among them to
break up tribal relations and become
citizens. In cases where Indians are
not prepared to become citizens |
am in favor of the government leav-
ing to their use as much land
as they need. The eastern end
of the territory must be opened up to
settlement and opened to civilization.
am not in favor of observing to any
alarming degree treaty ethics. political
ethics, or any other kind of ethics, but
throw it open to settlement and satisfy
damages. The Indians will aim to
drive as good Il bargain as possible and
may in this way delay matters many
years unless we proceed to take the
land and settle for it later. They will
be more reasona ole in their demands
after we do part of it All the treaties
made by the Cherokee commission
should be ratified as soon as possible
and the land thrown open to settlement
The members of the five civilized tribes
should become citizens and hold their
land like other men. This would sim
plify things greatly"

A CONTRACT MADE
Between the City and the West Virginia
.nn1I ~ Fnr Part of tie Wharf

Between the City and the West Virginia
sand Co. for Part of the Wharf
The Council Committee on Wharves,
the Wharfmaster and representatives of
the West Virginia Sand Company met
at the lower end of the wharf yesterday
afternoon and looked over the ground
preparatory to carrying out the instruc-
tions of Council, embodied In resoln-
ton passed at the last session, which
ordered contract drawn for q portion
of the cty's ground in consideration OF
500 per annum, the ground so leased to
be used for the storage of sand, and the
lease to be annulled by the city at any
time upon giving thirty days notice.
After thoroughly looking over the
locality, and discussing the matter with
several property owners in the vicinity,
the Committee and others adjourned to
the City Hall, where it was agreed TO
lease to the Sand Company the lower
half of that portion OF the wharf lying
between the south line OF alley nine and
the north end OF the "Pewiky" depot
property, the Company to pay, In addi-
ton TO the S12, the sum OF $50 annually
dS WudIldSS'
The ground is now occupied by some
piles Of gravel and a big lot OF boulders
belonging to the B. p. W., but these
will be removed. The Sand Company
will put In sort of hoist-way, that
sand may be elevated out Of the
barges without having to haul it up the
steep grade OF the wharf, as at present,
and the use OF ground so far south will
enable the Sand Company's boats to be
kept further south of the paved portion
of the wharf. and cOrrespondingly out
of the way of steamboats,.
1t has been suggested that now that a
beginning has been made towards clear
ing up the wharf by the removal Of old
wagons, lumber piles, etc, and the stop
ping OF dumping there, II would be a
good idea TO grade so much OF the wharf
territory as lies vest OF the brick road
way aud south of Twelfth street, and
use the cobbles now lying opposite the
Stamm House in paving along next the
water line when extreme low water
comes this summer. With a start thus
made at improving the lower end Of the
wharf, it would not cost much to add a
little ID the work next year, and so Sc
cure large addition TO the paved land
ing.
