SHOT BY HIS PARDs.
A Bank Robber Murdered by His

A Bank Robber Murdered by His
Companions.
Salina, Kan, Nov. 14-Three masked
men attempted to hold up the bank at
Silvan Grove, Kan, forty miles west
of here, and one of their number met
meath in an unusually tragic manner.
He was shot by the cashier of the
bank, John Calene, and when in a
dying condition was perforated with
bullets by his own comrades to save
themselves from exposure.
The men rode into town on fast
horses. They were finely mounted and
heavily urIned. Their masked faces
and flying steeds attracted every
body's attention, but they wasted no
time in getting to work. They pulled
their horses up with a jerk In front
Of the bank, and while one fobber re-
NAMED seated, holding the brides of
the other two horses, In guarding en-
trance to the bank, his two compan-
ions entered. A citizen who was
transaeting business at the counter
quickly complied with their command
to throw up his hands. The cashier
was ordered to turn over what money
he had and to do it double quick. He
looked into the muzzle of both reyol-
vers for moment and then reluctant
" complied. 1t was but few min
utes from the time the bandits turned
their horses into the business streets
before they were again mounted and
away with all the ready cash the
bank had
The moment the robbers were out
of the building the cashier secured his
gun, and, rushing to the door, opened
fire on them as they were galloping
away. The bullet from the cashiers
gun lodged in the back OF one of the
fleeing men. He staggered in his sad
die for moment, but nerving himself,
he kept his seat and galloped on. He
was too badly wounded, however, to
continue and before he had gone a
quarter of a mile his body swayed
to and fro, and finally he fell heavily
to the ground. His two comrades,
who, up to this time, had kept right
ahead, pulled their horses up and rode
up to the PROSTATE man, deliberately
fired several shots into his body and
dashed away. When picked up the
deserted outlaw was dead. Nobody
knew him, and nothing to identify him
was on his person. Who his compan-
ions We're is only conjecture. 1t is be-
lieved they are scattered portion of

West after having been separated from

each for the capture of the robbers

counties have organized forces which
are now in search of the bandits. The

ODD GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
Some Interesting Statistics Quilted
From a British Blue Book.

Some Interesting Statistics Quilted
From a British Blue Book.
The British government has issued
blue book on the subject of marriage
and divorce, giving the laws OF Various
countries, collected by British consuls
and intended obviously as basis Tor
an international agreement on these
mOmentous transactions, says the san
Francisco Argonaut The countries N
which divorce laws are in force are
France, Great Britain, Germany, Ba-
varia, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Rus'
sin, SaXony, Spain, Sweden, SWlt1ef-
land and the Australian colonies. In
most of these countries, as in most or
our states, the usual grounds for dl-
yorce are adultery, desertion, tmprison-
ment for felony, cruelty and incurabfe
incompatibility. But the latter ground
for divorce may not be pleaded In
Belgium where the parties have lived
together twenty-five years, or where
the wife is over 10. In France woln-
an may get q divorce from her hus-
band If he calls hey c9naille before
her children. or If he naaitFeats her
mother. or IL he refuses to supplement
the civil ceremony with religious cere
mony when requested to oblige her to
that extent. In Germany a divorce
may be granted If one Of the parties
goes mad. but not if he or she becomes
an idiot. In Greece man may di-
vorce his wife "if she stays on all
night or without his consent, TAT
tends theSters, or sports, or dinners,
or places where men battle IS
good ground for divorce In Greece that
one OF the parties to the marriage
turns out to be Jew. In saxony
divorce may be granted on the ground
Of change Of religion, and in Spain q
wife may get divorce on the ground
that her husband is trying to force her
to change her religion. In Sweden it
would appear that a divorce would be
granted on proof that one Of the par
ties had not been yaccinated before
marriage In New South Wales and
Victoria husband may get a divorce
from his wife on the ground that size
has neglected her domestic duties for
three years.
The Blue Book gives these figures,
which shows that the United States,
which leads the world in most things,
leads also In divorce: In 1885 the
plumber of divorces was, in the United
States, 13,472; in Switzerland, 920; in
Denmark, 635; In France, 6,245; In
Germany, 6,161: in Roumania, 54t; in

tenderness, patience, compassion and
love, so that she might become the

that the great factor in the future eyo-

broke into the First National bank
here last night and got away with
about $500 in silver. The 'front.' doors
were opened by the use of crowbars
and the locks of the vault were broken
open with dynamite. The thieves then
stole two rigs to make their escape
sure. One of the rigs was found at
Elyria this morning. There is no
clue to the robbers. Investigation -
vealed the fact that the vaults had
been opened, but that the safe, which
contained $4,000, had not been
touched Upon a wooden tray in the
vaults was about $500 in silver. This
alone was taken. The small initune
lying almost within reach Of the
thieves could not BE- secured.
