Money Back Commit Murder.

A story Of wholesale murder comes from
Poganovka, a village OF Samara, Russia.
Eight farmers living near the village en-
ployed twenty-one laborers to help SOW their
land. Tho laborers performed their work
satisfactorily and were paid the stipulated
money. The farmers then conspired to get
the money back, and finally decided that the
only way of doing so would be to kill the
laborers.
When the latter were enjoying siesta to-
gether they were set upon by the farmers
and every one of them was killed. The
farmers then robbed the bodies and buried
them.

picion, and the police Investigation led to
the speedy arrest Of the eight murderers.

1.-THE Trolley system" at Jacobs.

comedy IN three acts, was produced last
night at Jacobs Theatre for the first
time in this city, to an appreciative au-

A SWlndlar.

About the last of August, the proprie-
tor of the BANNER received letter from
a former resident of the village, now a
business man of Chicago, making inquir-
les regarding a man by the name of
Powell, who had called upon the writer
a month before, claiming to be a travel
ing reporter for the BANNER. Powell
represented that he had been writing
up others, natives of Vermont, in Chi
cago, and desired to include the writer
of the letter. His charges were $500,
and each individual was to take fifty
copies of the paper at five cents each.
He finally got the writer of the letter to
give him an order for the notice and the
papers, and collected for the same $3.50.
He promised that the papers would be
delivered the first week in August. but
up to the time the letter was written,
August Goth, nothing had been heard of
Powell or the papers. The BANNER
people Immediately replied that they
knew of no such man, and that he was a
fraud. The first of October another let
ter was received stating that Mr.. Powell
had written few days before, saying
that the article would be published in a
few days, and the papers sent, and again
an inquiry was made, if he was all
right. The writer stated in the last let
ter that he had located Mr.. Powell, so
that if he was a fraud he would have
but little trouble in getting him, and
making lit hot' for him. We have no
authorized agents in the West and do
not know who the fellow is who has
imposed upon our friend in that region.
The rascal should be brought to justice
and we hope he may be caught.
