a DEAD ROBBER.
One of the Minnesota Bank Robbers Con
imits Suicide

One of the Minnesota Bank Robbers Com
tmits Suicide.
MINNEAR0nIs, Oct. 10.-The story of
the robbery of the bank of Sherburne
ended tragieally when ]. d. Sair, one of
the pair of mnrderous bandits when all
but captured, killed Marshal Gallon,
the leader of his pursuers, and, sending
a bullet into his own brain, fell dead at
the feet of the murdered marshal's
posse. The daring robber had shot his
way out Of farm house surrounded by
officers and would have made good his
escape but for an accident to the bicycle
he rode. After the robbery the bandits
set out for the southwest, pursued by a
large posse. The citizens of Emmett
and Kossuth counties turned out in
search of the robbers, who separated
near the Des Moines river, one going
due east. Deputy Sheriff Brayton of
Kossuth and Marshal Gallon, with a
posse from Bancroft. took the trail. At
2 O'Clock Sair stopped at a farm house
to get something to eat and 10 minutes
later was surrounded. The robber
dasted for window, out of which
he jumped. Marshal Gallon was
stationed there. but before he
could level his gun, the bandit had sent
bullet through the breast Of his VIC
tim. The bandit mounted his bicycle
and rode eastward at tremendous
rate. The posse started in pursuit with
the robber about mile in advance, and
for five miles he managed to keep a
good leaG. His bicycle went down on
him on account of puncture, and he
left it and set out on foot through a
cornfeld. Deputy Sheriff Brayton was
close upon his heels and opened fire
with o shotgun. The bandit, seeing he
had no chance to escape, placed a re-
volver to his head and sent ball
through his brain. Most of the money
taken from the bank was found on his
person. The other robber is believed to
be in custody at Jackson, MINI. The
man killed is J. D. Sair, who came
from Heron Lake. The other is sup.
posed to be Fred Pratt. A report is
also received that a tall man entered
the bank of Hardee, southeast Of Luz
verne, Ia, this afternoon and covered
the cashier with a revolver and de-
manded the proceeds. He was handed
out 500 and made his escape.

Axe Murder an Unsolved Mystery.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Oct. 1.-THE body
Of Mrs. Jennie L. Axe was taken to
Harlan yesterday afternoon for inter-
ment. The police have made no pro-
gress ON the case. Chief Of Police Can
ming said: II do not believe the MUIR
derer will ever be discovered. He has
concealed everything connected with
the crime except the bloody corpse. The
more think over it and investigate the
more am convinced that the murder
was committed by man whom the
woman had driven to the point Of des-
peration. She was blackmailer, and
she had perhaps found some victim who
was unable to satisfy her demands for
money, and would rather commit MUIR
der than to have her ruin his reputa-
ton"
