NOEL. Mo. May 12.-At 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon seven men armed
with Winchesters and revolvers rode
into Southwest City, Mo-, and robbed
the bank, getting all the money the
bank contained, between $4,000 and
$4,000. They evidently came from the
territory and were experts. as they did
the job in a very business-like manner.
Two of them were stationed on the
outside and three entered the bank
with a sack and two others guarded
the horses
About one hundred shots were fired
by the robbers and four of the best
citizens were badly wounded. J. c.
Sea bOurn and o. l.. Sea bourn were
both shot through the groin; Mart

robbers were about ten minutes going
through the bank, afterward mounted
their horses and started for the nation
at full speed.
As they were leaving the outskirts
some one fired several shots at them,
killing a horse and wounding q robber,

hurt He Immediately secured another

Burned by Exploding Oil.
BRADDoCK. Pa, May 1.-THE barrel

took fire yesterday afternoon, presum.
ably by spontaneous combustion and
was destroyed. The loading racks and
five tank cars standing on a side track
of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh road were also burned.
While the firemen were making
final stand and thousands of
people were watching it. there was
tremendous explosion. A tank car
holding 4. 100 gallons of benzine had let
60 with mighty roar. Fortunately
the burning benzine which was thrown
into the air in sheets of liquid fire had
consumed itself before settling down
over the crowd.
The explosion was followed by a
panic that cannot be described in
words. Blind, unreasoning, pitiless
instinct of self-preservation showed it.
self and the weak went down before
the strong in multitudes of cases. in
the frantic rush to escape what seemed
to threaten horrible death.
In the stampede men as well
as women and children were
thrown down and trOdden over by
the flying masses that surged up from
behind Thirty-fve of the firemen
were burned SO that the skin peeled off
their faces and hands, and the hair
was singed off their heads and faces
OF the many others who are slightly
burned there is no record, and the total
number of those burned and injured in
the stampede will probably reach 100
persons With all the suffering this
fire will cause, the property loss will
not exceed $1,000.

The doctor held quite reception at
his home during the afternoon. DR.
Talmage made a graphic statement of
the incidents connected with the fire.
He said: AT the close of the church
service l was standing at the foot of
the pulpit shaking hands with hun
dreds of people from all lands. l was
about through and walked toward the
center of the church where my wife
stood, VIXEN she called my attention to
fire springing out from the top of the
organ. l saw at once that it was
under full Roadway and my first i'm
pulse was to look around and see how
many people were then in church and
to my great joy there were only about
twenty and with twenty-five doors to
get out through, felt they would all
escape"
When asked for his own opinion as
to the cause of the fire, he said emphat
ically:
Electric lights Electricity caused
this fire, as it did in the last ia bernacle
on Schermerhorn street.
The fire spread with lightning-like
rapidity and before sunset had de-
stroyed property to the value of nearly
s2,OOO.O 900.
The furniture in the Hotel Regent,
which cost from S20J.0o0 to $3.50, 900, is
entirely destroyed. the total loss on the
building and its contents footing up in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 900. This loss
falls upon the Brooklyn Hotel Co., ana

viduai losses to the guests. The loss
on the church is not far short of $780,
