Robbers, Alarmed az the Out-Cry, Fled:

Police are Notified and They start Out

Last night about 10 o'clock Mr.. S.
Giwowsky, the tailor on East Douglas
avenue near the Lindell hotel, started
home with his two little children, go
ing north On Mosley. and when little
over half way between Douglas and
First two men appeared before him and
he found himself confronting two pair
Of revolvers, and an imperative COM
mand to hold Up his hands. The men
were standing quite close to him and IN
der the excitement OF the moment he
seized the revolver Of one Of them and
tried to wrest il from his hand, but the
other robber seized him and struck him
heavy blow upon the head with one
OF his revolvers. This staggered him
somewhat and he released his grasp up
On the revolver which the smaller CT
the two men was still trying to retain.
Both men threw him upon the ground
while ne called for help as loudly as he
could. One Of the highwaynen tried to
make him cease calling for help, but was
unsuccessful He was struck twice upon
the head with the revolver in the hands
Of the larger Of the two robbers, but this
did not have the desired effect and the
robbers fed, one going north and the
other south.
The police were notified as quickly as
possible, and Officers Harry Sutton and
Bedford Wood went in the directions
named. They obtained a fair descrip-
ton OF the men from few colored men
who saw the men running. One OF the
highwaymen was tall and OF a fairly
strong build. He wore dark clothes and
soft hat. and as near as could be learn
ed had a smooth face. The smaller man
was not over IT. in. tall and also wore
dark clothes and soft hat. His face
was sYnotohly shaven also.
1t is believed that they are the same
men who were lettering about the neigh
borhood nearly all day yesterday. They
were seen several times IN Frank
Guards establishment yesterday and tie
officers obtained good descriptions OF
them which tallfed quite well with those
given by the coIored men. and the man
who they attempted to hold up.
Both men were strongly built and
would have quickly overpowered their
man had he not called FOR lelp. II is
supposed that the would-be outlaws are
fellows who live in this city and every
effort TO capture them will be made Dy

Mr. Giwowsky has two severe scalp
wounds but otherwise is none the worse
for mis- little adventure The men did
not have time or opportunity TO attempt
TO relieve him Of any valuables If he had
had any about his person. Up 10 late
hour last night the perpetrators of the
hold up were still at large, bot with day.
Light a better chance may be had TO
trace them. This is about the first ho.d
up Of the season and if the criminals
are captured they at least will not have
an opportunity 20 make another attempt

This is Republican flag day and for the

The suggestion OF Mark Hanna, empha-
sized by the Eagle, has met with a great
reception. Ii was like Christmas eve IL
all the novelty stores yesterday and last
night People crowded them until late
hour and then went home with big
bundle of stars and stripes under their
arms and they held on TO them with q
grip that demonstrated their pride in
the co.ors OF their country. The coun-
tries OF the world could be searched in
vain for a prettier flag than that OF the
United States. There Is uniformity OF
beauty about it that is unequalled-
IN addition 10 the flags bought az the
stores the Republican central commit
tee gave out thousands OF them. and

WAS WELL KNOWN HERE
Old Time Citizen of Wichita Dies In the
East.

Isaac Shellabarger, one Of the old time
residents OF Wichita died recently at mis-
home in Decatur, Ill. He was citizen
of Wichita in an early day and en-
gagged in the lumber business in partner
ship with A. w. Oliver, OF this city
many years ago. Later he and Mr..
Oliver went into the milling business
and constructed the mill and started
the business which later became the
firm OF Oliver & Imboden, VINO are the
we'll known business men OF this city.
Mr. Shallabarger retired from business
several years ago. He was man OF eX-
cellent executive ability and his good
judgment and foresight made him q
highly prosperous man. He was sue
cessfuI IN all his undertakings and as
sisted in making wealthy several OF his
nephews and other men, He was per-
severing and industrious and gradually
worked himself up 10 a position Of
wealth and influence and through ii all
maintained the honest respect of all
with whom he came in contact

DIGGING FOR BURIED GOLD.
Work of Tbs Kind Still Going On In
Arizona and New Mexico.

Arizona and New Mexico.
Over a large part of Arizona and New
Mexico digging for buried treasure is
going on all the time. If traditions have
any value. immense quantities Of gold
n silver were put under ground in
that region by %Spaniards and Indians
a century or two ago. The country IL
full Of gold and silver: 1t would yield
incalculable amounts of those metals
but for the fact that there Is no water
for getting out the suff. Everywhere
are to be seen the trace Of old-time
Mexican gold workings. In early days
the yellow metal was obtained largely
from pockets and the results were
wonderfully rich. 1t Is a matter Of his
tory that Capt. Sitgreaves. in 1880,
exchanged lead bullets for gold ones
with Apache Indians.
One Of the tales of treasure in that re-
gion speaks Of $4,000, 900 worth Of
gold and silver buried by Spaniards,
who accumulated this vast amount in
precious metals and put it under
ground when threatened by the Indians.
For this story the chief authority Is
the Able Domenech, whose literary re-
mains are extant and much priced by
students of early Americana. The
burial In question was accomplished in
1910, when the dreaded Apaches wiped
out a number Of pueblOs and sacked
the Roman Catholic churches. This
tragic event is referred to in the writ

of the churches are still standing. They

TRAGIC WINTER,
Memories IF Che Terrible Storm 1,
south Dakota Sixteen Years AGO.

south Dakota Sixteen Years Ago.
According to certain weather wise.
acres IN the Northwest the coming
winter will be an unusually severe one
In that region. 1t is to be hoped, how
over, that no such winter as that Of
1881 in South Dakota will ever again
visit that State. The story Of that
time Is full OF interest. especially to
those unfamiliar with It's details.
Wednesday, Oct. 10. 1880. was in
Southern Dakota a typical northwest
ern fall day. Rain fell during the
day. The next day the weather was
rather pleasant, but threatening. Fri
day. the 18th, q change occurred. and
snow began to fall. This continued
almost steadily until the following Sun.
day night, when it cleared off. Mon
day snow again fell, and from that
time on snow storms were Of frequent
occurrence during the whole winter.
On Nov. 10 the Ice which had been
running for some time In the Missouri
river suddenly formed an ice bridge.
and became so solid during the night
that crossings could be made with
safety the following day. AS the re-
suit of the almost constant fall Of
snow and high winds huge drifts were
formed. some Of them from 20 to 80
feet deep. In many places fences and
trees were buried completely out Of
sight. and only the tops Of telegraph
poles were visible. This necessitated
in some instances the propping up Of
the wires to keep them out Of the snow.
In the new portions Of the territory
there were few herds of cattle, but in
the southern counties thousands Of
animals persisted. Along the Mis-.
souri, river hundreds of deer, antelope
and other wild game became foun-
dered in the vast drifts, and were kill
ed, clubs in many instances being the
instruments Of destruction. All the
railroads were blockaded and some Of
them did not begin operations again
until the following June.
So great was the quantity II snow
and moisture that fell during the win

the brim. The result was that crops
for several seasons following were
enormous. But the hardships expert.
enced by the settlers on the prairie
and the inhabitants Of the prairie
towns was Insignificant compared with
the disasters which befell the resi-
dents Of the towns along the Mis-.
souri, river when the loQe came the
following spring. Since the spring Of
1862 the spring "break up" Of the
Missouri river had not been attended
with any disaster save in isolated
cases, and it was therefore not strange
that the settlers on the bottoms had
been lulled into a false sense Of secur-
ity, and regarded the stories handed
down in regard to great foundations
Of the past as the mere vaporings Of
chronic eXaggerators. But it was a
terrible awakening. and for ten days
the Missouri river valley for hundreds
Of miles was covered with a seeth-
ing torrent Of water and ice which
brought ruin to thousands and death
to scores.
