DARING BANK ROBBERY.
Cracksmen Wreck the Safe of a Savannah,

Cracksmen Wreck the Safe of Savannah,
Mo-, Bank.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, February 10.-Three
experienced cracksmen wrecked the
State bank of Savannah, securing $25,-
900 in money, government bonds and
postage stamps. At / o'clock a. m.
Night Waterman Garting saw three
men working at the front door of the
bank. He asked them what they were
doing. One of the robbers, without
replying, knocked Garting down, car
ried him into the lobby of the banl,
and bound and blindfolded him. He
then stood guard over Garting with a
cooked pistol while the remaining two
robbers drilled hole in the safe, which
was an old-fashioned affair, and sue
ceeded in unlocking it from the inside.
At 8 o'clock a. M. Bank President
William r. Wells found Garting in the
condition described In the meantime
the robbers, of whom there is no clue,
had had plenty of time to make good
their escape. Mrs Mary Breckenridge
lost $4,000 in government bonds, of
which the coupons for January had
not been clipped. The postmaster lost
S275 in stamps and $3.50 in money.
Other local depositors lost $4,000. For
twenty-five years Mrs. Breckenridge
had kept these bonds in her honse.
They had been deposited in the bank
less than a week.

THE WALLER CASE.

Olncy Says Waller Was Certainly Guilty.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-the
president has sent to congress a long
report from Secretary Olney and all
the correspondence in the case of John
l.. Waller, ex-United States consul to
Tamatave, and now confined in a
French prison under conviction OF
treason. Secretary Olney says that
Waller was unquestionably guilty of
the offense charged and that the
penalty inflicted would be considered
exceedingly moderate, but the French
government made an offer to release
Waller from further Imprisonment and
to pardon his otfense on condition that
the affair be thereby terminated as
between the two governments and that
the United States should make no
claim for damages in behalf of the
accused consul based on his arrest,
conviction and imprisonment. Ambas-
sador Eustis, it appears from tho
correspondence, had been instructed to
give notice to the French government
of the acceptance by the United States
of these conditions and to exchange the
notes necessary to carry out the
arrangement. Waller, however, acting
under the advice of his wife and his
brother-in-law, who areat Washington,
has not consented to the arrangement
and still insists that he shall receive

with means to reach the United States

Preparations for the business.
CHRRoKEE, February Ia. H.
Groves, one of the wealthiest farmers
in Cherokee county, is preparing to
embark into the vension and buclSsllin
business. Mr.. Groves owns 40 acres
cs wooded land on the banks Of the
Little Sioux river, four miles south of
Cherokee, which is one of the most
beautiful tracts in the county His
intentions are to fence this land with
an eight-foot woven wire fence, and
run a barb wire or two along the top.
He will take trip to northern
Minnesota and purchase forty or fifty
does and several bucks, and place them
in the Enclosure. The specie that Mr..
Groves intends to purchase is known
among the Indians as the swamp deer,
and is q large and beautiful creature,
and is plenty in captivity among
Minnesota Indians, from whom Mr..
Groves will secure as maay rs isneeded
for good start The promoter of the
scheme thinks that in a few years it
will prove q paying business, as the
wild vension will by that time become
nearly extinct. and vension saddles
will bring a good price and the hides
will be more in demand. The land
which IS to be used as the deer park
was in its early day the home of the
deer in its wild state. Mr.. Groves and
his neighbors enjoyed many vension

EXCITEMENT IN SPAIN.

Funeral of Man Who Was Shot For
Hooting at Campos Causes Trouble.
MADRID, February TO- This city
was the scene of a demonstration that
would have required very little to turn
it into serious riot. GendarmeS
killed one of number of men that
hooted Campos. The funeral of the
victim was attended by an enormous
crowd Fully $4,000, most of whom
were republicans marched to the GEM
etery, shouting for the entire distance:
Down with the police Down with
Campos,'' and Long live the repub-
lic''
The government anticipated trouble
and there was a strong display of
gendarmes, who, however, appeared to
be afraid to interfere with the process
sion in any way, lest they provoke
riot After the funeral the greater
portion of the crowd dispersed, but
1900 of its number again formed in
line and marched unmolested back to
the royal palace, in frontof which they
gathered unmolested and shouted,
Death to the king" death to the
queen regent, and Long live the
republic Even the guards who are
always on duty about the palace
seemed to be intimidated by the sullen
temper of the mob and made not the
slightest attempt to drive them away.
After partly venting their anger
against the youthful king and his
mother, the crowd marched to the
residence of Campos, where similar
demonstration of disapproval was
made. The apathy of the police,
which was unquestionably due to fear,
was significant. A demonstration in
the evening was narrowly prevented
by the leaders. who feared serious
results.
