The Lam.ntabie End OF . t.omance.

Fifty annual suns had bleached her
raven ~tresses. placed crows feet on her
chamoislike skin and otherwise blem-
ished her youthful loveliness. but the
vigor of romance still lurked in her
bosom. She inserted an lad" in one of
the Toledo dailies for a correspondent
matrimonially inclined. The lad" was
answered by a gallant also sliding down
the slope of his hftieth anniversary. Pho
tographs taken in their PALMER days
were exchanged. and last week the fair
one came from her wind swept retreat
in Iowa to meet her ideal, to join heart
and hand with him and float happily on
wings of love together to the end of their
natural lives. Both had SO changed in
the many years since the pictures were
taken that they failed to recognize each
other in the train Introductions fol.
lowed.
They viewed each other for a moment,
when she broke out with: "You base de
ceiyerl You horrid old brule! You have
deceived me, and | shall never marry
you. You are twice as old as you repre-
sented and as homely as cartoon" The
radiance vanished from the eager lover
face. Staggered, confused and razzl'
dazzled, he bolted for the hotel door
letting fly a volume of cuss words, in
~terjecting such expressions as Vixen,
Jade" ''She wolf" and 'Old hen.
The door closed behind him with a slam
and the afternoon matinee was over
The lady has returned to her home i

We were under the impression that
the Howard papers had done little else
but scrap with each other for the past
three years; but the last issue OF the
Press would indicate a second wind. In
regard to this chronic eruption it says:
1--WE propose next week to give the pub
lie some facts which have been too long
suppressed" etc. Now, boys, it is time
to quit. What class of people read your

ing upon their patience and n OF
decency, or else they delight In a pc

KILLED THE CASHIER.
A Colorado Bank Oficial Murdered
For Refusing to Hand Over Funds

A Colorado Bank Oncial Murdered
For Refusing to Hand Over Funds.
DELTA, Colo. Sept. 9.-Cashier A. I.
Balchly of the Farmers and Merchants
bank was shot dead while defending
his trust by three robbers; two of the
robbers are dead and the third will
soon be in the hands of the officers of
the law, who are in hot pursuit. The
above sentence forms the brief but sad
story of a bloody tragedy that occurred
here during the morning. The whole
town is wild with excitement and many
are the vows of vengeance heard.
About 10:45 a. M, when no customers
were present. three men marched into
the Farmers and Merchants bank and
covered those present with their guns.
The spokesman, presenting his re-
volver at the head of Cashier Blachly.
demanded hat he hand e what
funds there were in the bank and
"Be Quick About It,"
But Mr.. Blachly did not propose to
give up the funds under his charge. His
resolution was fatal to him. The rob-
Der without any further warning
opened fire on the unfortunate man,
killing him instantly. The three men
then grabbed all the cash in sight.
amounting to perhaps 500, and started
for the outside where their her SEES were
hitched. But here they met their
Nemesis whose work was swift and
sure. W. Ray Simpson. who keeps a
hardware store near the bank, heard
the noise of the shot that killed Blachly.
Picking up his trusty Winchester Simp-
son got into the street in front OF the
bank Just as the three robbers were
rushing out of the building with the
pitiful. petty 800 for which they had
taken a mans life. The sharpshooting
hardware man opened fire at once,
while the robbers were attempting to
mount their horses. His first shot was
'crack," and arobber
Bit the Dust,
never to rise again. ''CrackT Another
robber was hurled into eternity with
his boots on and his prayers unsaid.
This took place in less time than it
takes to tell it, but the few seconds
We're the temporary salvation for the
remaining robber, who was enabled to
mount his horse and start down the
road for the surrounding country.
Simpson sent a couple OF shots after
him but to no purpose. BY this time
the hank was the center of an excited,
angry multitude of citizens. They re-
covered from the shock and while a few
tender hands went into the bank and
carried out the lifeless remains of the
heroic cashier. others rushed to their
homes, secured horses, guns and am
munition and set put after the fleeing
robber. Public feeling runs very high
and it is very likely that if the remain
ing robber is brought to town unhanged
and alive, he will be dangling at thu
end of a rope in a very short time. The
identity of the robbers is a mystery, Al
yet.
