HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Farmer Beats, Assaults and Throws
Woman Into ~ Well.

FARGO, n. D., Nov. 9.-N. j. villars was
brought to the Cass county jail to-day by
Sheriff Eddy, of Stutsman county. Eddy left
jamestown with his prisoner just in ad-
vance of a mob which was on it's way to
take him from Jail and lynch him. On the
way here yillars confessed the horrible
crime with which he was charged. Tuesday
evening Villars went to the farm of Mrs.
Fromer, in Montpelier township, Stutsman
county. Mrs. Fromer saw him at the barn
and went out to see what he wanted. When
she approached, yillars knocked her down
with club and beat her into insensibility.
He dragged her into the barn and assaulted
her. then threw her into the well in the
barn, set the barn on fire and left. The
barn burned TO the ground, but Mrs. Fro
mer who is still alive, escaped death In
the we'll. Toward morning she managed TO
climb out and got to she house. Taking her
children with her she crawled on her hands
and knees to a neighbor's, two miles away,
and died after telling her story. Villars was
captured at Valley City and taken to
jamestown by Sheriff Stenshoel He is one
of the oldest farmers In Stutsman county.
A large mob gathered at Montpelier and
started for jamestown to lynch him, but
Sheriff Eddy heard of their coming in time
to escape Eillars confessed another crime.
A month ago Mr.. Fromer, husband of the
woman he murdered, mysteriously disap-
peared. Villars says he killed Fromer and
that his body will be found buried in a
pile of manure back Of the barn.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE
MIR. CLEvELAND'S ADMINISTRATION
WANTS s5O,OOO,OOO IN GOLD.
More Money Needed to Make Up the
Deficit Caused by the Loss of
Protective Duties.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Press to-mor-
row will say: After the close of business
to-day IL was announced that the govern
ment will ask the bankers for another loan
of $4,000, Co., Gold bonds for that amount,
bearing per cent. interest will be issued
within few days at price which will net
investors about per cent. annually. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis
has been in this city for several days, and
has had conferences with the presidents of
national banks and trust companies. One
Of these bank presidents said to-day: Yes,
there will be an issue of bonds shortly.
Probably within the next week or two. Sec
retary Carlisle will call for investors. Pres
ident Cleveland and the Secretary have de-
termined that the gold reserve shall not be
further depleted. If the people do not take
all the bonds. as it is probable they will not,
the bankers who floated the last issue will
subscribe. AS far as is known in this city
the exact amount of the issue has not yet
been determined. The issue win undoubted-
ly reach s50,O0o.O00. 1t has not yet been de-
c.ded whether a syndicate will be formed
to take these bonds or not. That also will
depend upon the action of the authorities
in Washington"

RAIDED BY BANDITS
STORES AT LENAPAlI, 1. t., LOOTED
By THE COOK GANG.
One Citizen Killed and Another Ser.
f0usly WOundci-Oniy Two Dcs-
peradOes in the Party.

COFFEYyILLE. Kan, Nov. 9-Two of
the Cook gang plundered the town of
Lenapah, l. T.. and left a bloody train be-
hind them this afternoon. They entered the
town in their character of bold bandits
without any attempt at concealment and
terrorized the citizens until they had car
ried out their plans of robbery Z. T..
Melton, brave young man, who attempted
to stop them with his gun when they were
riding by, was shot and instantly killed.
Another man, whose name cannot be
learned tonight, was reported to have been
seriously wounded. Both of the victims
were with a small force of citizens who
hastily armed themselves and attempted to
prevent the escape of the bandits. The
robbers were mounted on fast horses and
were heavily armed Some of the citizens
claim to have recognized them as "Chero-
kee Bill" and "Jim" French well-known
lieutenants of "Bill" Cook, the leader of
the gang. The robbers held up the pro-
prietors of two stores and looted both
places. They also robbed the postoffice.
John Shufeldt. the proprietor of one store,
was relieved of 800 in money and a gold
watch. These articles were taken from his
person. Mr.. Shufeldt proclaimed his loss
to the town before the robbers had fin
ished their work and the band Of citizens
were almost between them and their horses
when the robbers went to mount. An ef-
fort was made to stop them. but they
were flying away before their would-be
captors could make a concentrated move
Melton was more rash than the others and
met death in consequence. The news, as it
reached this city does not state in what
manner or how seriously the second victim
was injured.
A report says the bandits are headed for
Coffeyville. which is only fifteen miles from
Lenapah. This place is the. scene of many
tragic robberies and the police and VOL
unteers are prepared to meet them in the
same way they met the Daltons two years
ago, when almost the entire band was wiped
