head Of family he may prefer debt
which is lien or incum mbrance on ms
homestead but no more than $4,000
shall be used for that purpose.
ANY other preferences are made H.
legal as against creditors, and any
property thus conveyed as preference
is to remain a part Of the assets OF the
petitioner to be assigned as other prop
erty for which no preference is pro
vided 1t is also provided that the dis

not include any debt or obligation

Those Who Sell Cigars Given Due Notice
About the Violation of the Law
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. AT the
office of United States Marshal Shelby
it was stated to-day that hereafter all
cigar dealers, druggists, saloon men
and others who sell cigars will be ar
rested if found violating the revenue
law by not cancelling stamps The Of
ficers have been lax in the enforcement
of the law and many dealers have failed
to follow it's provisions. Marshal Shell
bv will not arrest anyone on this ac-
count until after to-day's publication.
"If they do not read the newspapers
and keep themselves informed" he
said. 1t is their own fault and they
will have to suffer for their ignorance.
Deputy marshals are compelled by law
to examine boxes and see that the
stamps of empty boxes are cancelled.

BANK ROBBERY.
Bank at Chandler. Ok. Raided-A CitI-
zen Killed Iy the Robbers.

A Bank at CHANDLER. Ok. Raided-A Citi-
- zen Killed Iy the Robbers.
GUTHRIE. Ok. Aug. THE little
city of Chandler, 40 miles east of here.
was the scene IN Monday of one of the
hottest bank robberies in the history
of-1ne territory, the particulars OF
which reached here at late hour last
night About 10 o'clock five men rode
inio the town dressed as cowboys and
armed to the teeth, and proceeded at
once to the alley in the rear of the LIN
coin County bank.
III of the men disnounted, one held
the horses one entered the front door
ofthe bank and two the back door,
while one remained on guard outside.
The first man to enter stepped up TO
the teller's window and showing Win
chester into the face of Harvey kee,
president of the bank, ordered him Ito
she'll out the cash and be quick about
it. too"
The second bandit took care of the
cashier, O. B. Kee, who was at work on
the books, while third went into a
back room and compelled F. B. Hoyt,
who was lying very sick. to get up and
open the safe. He attempted to COM
pfs. but fell exhausted in front of the
safe door, and the robber then snapped
his Winchester in his face, but luckily
it did not go off.
By this time firing was heard on the
outside and the men seized all the cur
rency on the counters, about $500, and
ran. The first man to give the alarm
was J. B. Mitchell, barber. He saw
the men in the bank and cried out
''The Dalton gang is in town" and
started into his shop but fell dead in
the doorway, pierced through the
heart by bullet from the Winchester
of the bandit on guard outside the
3ank.
A moment later the robbers mounted
their horses and rode away. A bal
from citizens rifle brought down one
horse. but the rider mounted behind {
pal, and Just out of town, as another
horse was shot, two farmers were
robbed of their horses and the five rode
on. In ten minutes Sheriff Parker wa
in hot pursuit.
About 10 miles out the bandits mad
a stand and battle ensued, in which
several hundred shots were fired, ant
one bandit shot through the hips an'
captured. the rest of the gang scatter
ino in the timber. The wounded rob
Der is but 20 years old and gives nj
name as Elmer Lucas. He says tn
others were Bill and Tom Cook, Jacl
Starr and Tulsa Jack.

THE WHITE M ETAL.
A. j, Warner Thinks Silver Will Re Re-
monetized Within Three Years.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. "A. j. War
ner. president of the American BIZ
metallic league, arrived in Butte yes
terday from Washington. The object
of his visit is to hold conference with
prominent silver men of Montana and
decide upon policy to be pursued at
the coming elections, and he will meet
With the Montana league at once. In
an interview Gen. Warner said:
Within three years from now silver Will be
remonetized and placed upon its proper basis
and prosperity will then return. The results
of the approaching elections will WELD a great
influence with silver legislation. The outlook
for silver is growing brighter every day IN the
east not only among the business men OF the
east but among the agricultural classes as
we'll The question of the free coinage OF Sill
yer is receiving more attention than ever be-
fore The real estate men of the east, whose
property has deprecated since the fall IN Sill
yer, are anxiously inquiring into the cause,
and they have agreed that gold standard ana
hiph prices do not harmoniZe. Even the anti
silver journals of the east. which have great
influence in their respective cities, are becom-
ing more modified in their expressions relative
to silver.
Mr.. Warner will go from Butte to
Colorado, and there will visit the silver
districts of that part of the country
