SLAIN BY HIS PALS.
Three Men Raid Bank at Sylvan
Grove, Kan.
One OF Throo Is Wounded by tho Caahier
While Escaping-His Comrades XIII
Him Rather Than to Allow
His Capture.

SAIINA, Kan, Nov. 13.-Three
masked robbers attempted to hold up
the bank at Sylvan Grove, Kan, 40
miles west of here, at noon Monday,
and one of their number met death in
an unusually tragic manner. He was
shot by the cashier of the bank, John
Calene, and when in n dying condition
was perforated with bullets by his own
comrades to save themselves from ex-
posure.
The men rode into town on fast
horses. They pulled up with jerk in
front of the bank, and while one rob-
Der remained seated holding the
brides of the other two horses
and guarding the enVrance to
the bank, his two companions en-
tered. A citizen who was trans
acting business at the counter quickly
complied with their command to throw
up his hands. The cashier was or
dered to turn over what money he had
and reluctantly complied. 1t was but
a few minutes from the time the ban
dts turned their horses into the busi-
ness street 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. A bullet from the
cashiers weapon lodged in the back of
one of the fleeing men. He staggered
in his saddle for moment, but kept
his seat and galloped on. He was too
badly wounded, however, to continue,
and before he had gone quarter of a
mile his body fell heavily to the
ground.
His comrades, who up to this time
had kept right ahead, pulled their
horses up, and riding back to the pros
trate man fred several shots into his
body and rode away. When picked
up the deserted outlaw was dead.
Nobody knew him and nothing
to identify him was on his per-
son. 1t is believed the three were
scattered portion of the Cook gang
working their way west after hav-
ing been separated from the main
body and driven from their haunts in
Indian territory. The bank has offered
u reward of $500 each for the capture
of the robbers, dead or alive. The
sheriffs of three counties have organ
lied forces which are now in search of
the bandits. The bank officials are
keeping the amount stolen secret.

Amount OF Damage.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 12.-Reports
of the destruction in tho eastern part
of Arkansas have been coming in all
dny Sunday. The confagration has
been under control for two or three
days, but wide reach Of coun-
try has been laid waste, causing
loss of many thousand dollars.
In the destruction Is included plan
tations with houses, negro quarters,
growing crops, horses and mules.
While so far no lives are reported lost,
there have been number of narrow
escapes from death. Mississippi county
has suffered most. There are extern
sive forests of valuable inc and hard
timber in that county, and
these have been swept away, to-
gether with everything of n
combustible nature. On the planta-
tion adjacent hundreds of acres of un-
gathered cotton have added fuel to
the flames, leaving nothing but a
stretch of blackened fields. Houses
and other buildings have been laid
waste. Three or four men who were
NJ hOihB III Z oL WIG htCoih
were encircled by flames and escaped
by dashing through them. Negro
laborers fleeing with their families
lost everything but life in reaching n
place of safety. Never in the history
of the state has there been such de-
structive fire.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 12.-The for
est fires in Arkansas and Tennessee,
north of Memphis, have about spent
their fury. The flames have burned to
the banks of the Mississippi river and
stopped. The damage by the fires re-
ported Sunday was small, being con-
fined to the destruction of few fences
around plantations on the Arkansas
side of the river
There are still no signs of rain, and
apprehension is felt that fires will
break out in other regions. The St
Francis basin is as dry as chip, and
lumbermen fear that if fires should get
start N that section the losses would
be heavy.
