For some months the nervousness
OF the citizens was somewhat aug
mented by the frequent receipt of let
ters containing all sorts of threats
against the community and individuals
The bank had it's full share of such let
ters. For a year after the raid not a
day passed but some stranger visited
the bank to view the scene of the trag-
edy, and ask questions concerning the
occurrence. In my nervous state,
eyed all strangers closely. Occasionally
one would enter, and without intro
ducing himself or asking questions
would proceed to look about the room.

ANIMAL SURGERY.
A Hospital Where Sick CANNES and
Birds Are Treated.


Birds Are Treated.
Every large municipality has its
hospital for sick animals, where own
ers of pet dogs, parrots, etc, can bring
their patients and have them under
the care of a good doctor or nurse until
they are cured.
No city, however. can boast of pos
sessing an institution of such large
proportions as the Clinique des Petits
Animaux Of Abort, on the outskirts
of Paris.
1t forms part Of the great Alfort Vet
erinary College and Hospital, but the
professors and surgeons here concen-
trate their activities on the treatment
Of smaller animals, dogs, of course con-:
stituting the greater part of the pa
tents although all sorts of pet ami
mails are brought here from the crowd
ed French metropolis.
About the porest place in the world
for small animals is a large city away
from the green fields, where they can
roam and romp at large. Most of them
suffer a lifetime Of incarceration in
the stuTy flats of metropolitan apart
ment houses. No wonder that nearly
every pet animal suffers from some
ailment, to the grief of the owner and
the despair of the surgeon
Paris has a large contingent Of sick
pets, which accounts for the liberal

the humorous incidents of that day:
There were some humorous Incl
dents connected with this serious affair,
and as I am given to seeing the unro
mantle side I recall some of them. A
German, named Miller, conducted fur
niture store and repair shop next door
south of the bank, living on the upper
floor of the two-story building, and
having a workroom in the basement
He had several boys growing up, who,
like other boys, were not always at
home when wanted, and Miller would
frequently consult his neighbors as to
the whereabouts of John, Robert or
AlDert-his sons. He was quite deaf
While the fight on the street was in
progress, Miller came out of his store
and stood on the walk. One of the raid
ers riding toward him said: Get off
the street, you - - Not un-
derstanding what was said, CT what was
going on, Miller stepped up to the edge
OF the walk. and clapping his hand to
his ear replied, What dye say? Robert
on the street?' By this time the rob-
Der was near Miller, and with blood in
his eye, fired off his revolver and yelled
like an Indian. Miller took the hint,
and saw there was some trouble at the
bank; turned and ran through his store,

they show that they actually have

Bob Younger died a few years ago.
"The fact Of Heywoods resistance
and death, and the consequent failure
of the robbers in their undertaking;
was a protection to all banks against
similar attacks in the future. The
banks showed their appreciation of the
services rendered by contributing to
fund for Mr.. Heywood's widow. About
$4,000 was raised in this manner, thus
placing her above want. Mr.. Hey

death. He was holding the position OF
city treasurer, and was also treasurer
of Carleton College,; was universally es-
