BANDITS ON WHEELS
DARE DEVILS ROB A BANK AND
ESCAPE ON BICYCLES.
TWO MEN WANToNLY SLAIN
The Bold Act Takes Place at Sher-
burne, Mimi. Recalls the North
field Raids OF the Past-One Woman
the Only Witness ia Hot
Pursuit Capture Expected.

Fairmont, Mimi, Oct. s.. Two masked
and bicycle-monnted robbers swept into
the little town of Sherburne, IA miles
from here yesterday, dashed into the
bank of Sherburne, murdered the
cashier and bystander, and securing
81 900 from the cash tray, mounted their
wheels and escaped before the very
eyes of the startled villagers. The af-
fair was conducted with all the BRAY
ado of border drama and the killing
of the two men, one of whom died in
stantly, was purely wanton as neither
made any resistance. The dead are:
Olaf j Oestern, travelling agent of Wal
ter A. Wood Harvester company, shot
through the heart, and Assistant
Cashier George Thorborn, bank of
Sherburne, shot in the head.
The crime is paralleled only by the
raid OF Jesses James and the Younger
boys when they swooped down upon
the little town of Northfeld, a few
miles north of the scene of yesterday S
crime, shot the cashier OF the bank of
Mortified down and decamped with a
large amount of money. In that in
stance the robbers departed on horses
whereas yesterdays criminals, in
keeping with the times, used
bicycles in escaping from the
enraged citizens of Sherburne
At 1870 two masked men walked
through the front entrance of the bank
to the cashiers box and without a
word whipped out reyolyers and lev
eled them at Assistant Cashier Thor
born. The latter did not move, but
the next minute the report of two
Ieyolyers rang out and the cashier fell
at his desk AT another desk in the
bank stood Oestern, travelling man.
He was the only immediate bar to the
ends which the robbers sought to gain
and as Thorborn fell to the floor, they
turned ON him and shot him dead. AS
rapidly as possible they leaped over the
railing which separated them from the
cashiers desk and secured a thou
sand dollars in cash. They then ran
they had taken the precaution to leal {
their bicycles, mounted them and rode
away. 1t all happened inside of two
minutes, the only witness to the deed
being a woman who stood across the
street and who was attracted by the
report of the revolvers. AS soon as
possible she gave the alarm and in five
minutes the little town of Sherburne
was in state of excitement such as
never before has been seen there.
Thorborn it was found, was not dead
0estern, however, was shot through
the heart and had apparently been in
stantly killed. Thorborn lived two
hours. Sherburne contains scarcely a
score more than 300 inhabitants but
inside of ten minutes several posses
formed and search was at once insti-
tuted. Every town and village where
there was the slightest possibility Of
the robbers visiting in their efforts to
escape has been warned and Their cap
ture Is expo ca at any moment. When
last heard from they were near EN-
nletsburg, Iowa.

Sherburne, Mimi, Oct. 10 "A tele-
gram was received yesterday afternoon
by President Brown OF the robbed
| bank saying that one OF the robbers
and murderers had been taken dead af-
ter hard fight. The dead bandit had
roll of the stolen bills on his person.
The marshal Of Bancroft, la, was
killed in the fight. No one else was
hurt although the fight was fierce
one. The dead body of the robber
will be brought here.
A later dispatch says the dead ban
dit instead Of being killed as at first
reported, committed suicide after being
tracked down. He was traced to de-
serted house by Deputy Sheriff Ward
and Tom. Gallien marshal, of Ban
croft. As the latter approached the
fugitive sprang out and levelling his
revolver shot Gallien dead He then
mounted his wheel and started off but
after going four miles his tire col
lapsed and he fled on foot to a neigh
boring corn field A bullet from
Wards revolver winged him and as the
posse came laundering up he turned
his weapon and sent ball crashing
through his own brain. His evident
fear OF being lynched WIS well-ground-
ed The dead man is the larger of the
robbers. He had large amount of
money on his person.
According to a Fairmount Mimi,
account the other is said to be sur
rounded in the woods between Forest
City and Albert Lea, MINI, and mis-
capture Is considered certain.

New jerseys deserted village.

About ten miles from Egg Harbor City,
N j., is the deserted village of Her
mantown. 1t consists of 60 cottages, over
grown with moss and vines, and sur
rounding a large building that was for
merly used as glass factory
The village was Quilt 20 years ego.
when Joseph Wapler & Co. established a
glass manufacturing plant and put VI
the houses.
The time came when the glass factory
WIS compelled to shut down for lack OF
business and the people Of the village
were compelled to resort to hunting and
fishing for a livelihood. Many of them
.eet to work in other towns. while those
who stayed found money so scarce that
they We're unable to pay even the small
sum required each year for taxes.
The village was finally put up at auc-
ton and sold to Joseph Worton, a veal
thy Philadelphia, for $l,5O0.

HOW To GROW FAT.
Drink Milk, Take Cold Baths and
Sleep Eight Hours Every Night.

If YOU want a nice smooth neck and
plump shoulders, and also want to gain
a few pounds in weight, take a cold
sponge bath every day, dashing the
water over the shoulders, throat and
chest and then rubbing with a coarse
Turkish towel. 1t will harden and
wlaiten the skin wonderfully.
In addition, and as a sort of assist
ance 10 this treatment, drink milk
from three to four times a, day, in the
early morning, at luncheon in place Of
afternoon tea, and on going to bed. The
milk must be taken hot, a large cup
full at a time, seasoned with a bit of
salt, and with a very small pinch of
bicarbonate of soda added to render it
easy of digestion. 1t should be slipped
as rapidly as possible, that it may not
cool. Treated in this manner the milk
is more nourishing than when put
through any of the new processes; and
it is not only nourishirg, but goes TO
create firm, solid flesh, and if seasoned
as was advised 1t carries with 1t no
injurious influences to the liver or
stomach for which good rich milk is
usually too heavy diet.
Now, by pursuing the milk and cold
water treatment with patience and
perseverance for three months, trying
earnestly to get at least eight hours
refreshing sleep every night, flesh Will
come to the SpdreSt frame with the
attendant blessings of health and
strength. The hot milk taken just on
retiring, after one is all ready for bed,
Will often cure insomnia and will GER
rainly prevent that faint death-like
feeling that attacks the stomach after
hours of wakefulness. 1t soothes tired
nerves and brings quiet and rest. 1t
will not accomplish this in ore night
or one week. but there wl be steady
gain from the beginning until the re-
suit is at last reached. This is not
theory, but it is written out of per-
sonad knowledge born of experience
A word more in regard to flesh. 1t is
much more an inherent tendency than
it is constitutional, and even the thin
young woman, who has an ample
mamma, will be apt to grow stout at
the same age, since few American wo-
men that are slender in youth will not
attain to larger proportions after they
are g. fss'

SUGGESTIONS BY PUPIL

Our correspondent, Pupil" asks
some very pertinent questions in con-
nection with the pardon of Liliuoka-
lani, and they are undoubtedly ques-
tiOns that have arisen in the minds Of
many supporters of the present admin
fstration In speaking of the lesson
that had been taught by the affair of
1895 we referred to the wiping out Of
the hope, held by her followers, that
the monarchical rule might again be
restored. The statement might have
been more sweeping and included all
generations to come. Furthermore, the
statement was made in the full belief
that the full pardon would wind up
Liliuokalanis affairs so far as the
Government is concerned. If the ques-
ton of pension or compensation is to
be agitated in the near future, there
will be back counties heard from
among the supporters of the Republic,
who are quite willing that the full and
free pardon should be granted.
We quite agree with Pupil that
the full pardon might just as well have
been granted when the Government
began its policy of allowing the po-
litical prisoners to go free in lots of
two, three, four or perhaps more. This
paper has previously expressed it's
opinion on that policy. We also agree
that the friends the administration has
gained by it's "conciliatory" measures
could be counted on ones fingers; and
it is an entirely mistaken idea of poll
tics which represents the opposition
coming into line simply because con-
cessions are made now and again.
Such a course, if carried too far, will
simply weaken the friendship of the
staunch supporters, and give the false
and supposedly conciliated individual
an opportunity to get in his work.
Cancellation that leads any official to
bow in the least particular before the
bowling opposition minority is nothing
more or less than the most improved
method of losing friends and support
ers. 1t is displaying foolishness almost
bordering on political idiocy to main
tain that the attitude of one single
follower of Liliuokalani will be
changed as a result of the proposed
pardon. The man who thinks other
wise will have to live until human
nature undergoes a wonderful change
before he will see his hopes realized.
We must also admit to Pupil that
we see no harm in an open policy, al
though we are not quite positive as to
his exact meaning. We believe the
best interests of the country will be
served by hewing close to the line of
principle, needing the suggestions of
supporters and listening to the de-
mands of opponents, but never in one
single instance allowing a sop to be
thrown as a conciliatory measure. A
friend. who has been purchased is
the worst enemy that can be found.
