when the liver is torpid and sluggish

RATTLE WITH BANK BURG
LARS.
Trio of Safe Blowers Surprised
at Work at Washburn, Ill.

Lacon, H., May Three days
ago there was placed in the bank of
Washburp, operated by the Ireland
brothers, a burglar alarm, which
was connected with their residence.
This morning at l O clock the alarm
rang. and posse, composed Of
Frank Gill, Mark Harper, Sim Nun
dell, Charley Younger and Marshal
Clarence Blackman. surrounded the
bank, each armed with a shotgun.
They had no more than taken their
positions than an explosion shook
the building. A shot was fred by
member of the posse. The burglars
ran out OF the back door, and were
met with storm of shot. They re.
turned the fire as they ran, and the
fusillade was lively. AS they turned
the bank corner Sim Mundell
brought down one of the men with
a load of buckshot. The fellow
staggered and fell off the high curb
ing to the stone gutter lacerating
his face The two others escaped,
firing as they ran. They had stolen
team from Arthur Hoover, which
was hitched in the street, and in this
way they made their escape. The
rig was found this afternoon near
Low Point. One of the fleeing burg.
lars was shot, and left a trail of
blood in his wake. The robbers left
behind a rubber bag full of nitro
glycerine fuse, percussion caps, and
full set of drills, two punches of
skeleton keys and lot of other in
strumeuts.
The captured robber is 5 feet II

ing 10 pounds, hazel eyes; is well
dressed, had fine gold watch, dia-

er lead such life as he had always
led. He said be was ready to die,
and wanted his friends to meet him
in the happy hunting grounds
Sheriff Kanady Lawrence. who is

talk warning the Choctaw people
to profit by the fate of Homes
He then lead Homes from the
Court House, where services had
been held, and placed him on a box,
just five PAGES from the Court House
door.
A blindfold was placed over his
eyes. Two Deputy Sheriffs stood
ON either side and held his hands,
while Deputy Sheriff Bob Jackson
stood in the Court House door and
shot with a A caliber Winchester
rifle. Homes fell back on the ground,
a stream of blood squirting from the
wound before it was stuffed full OF
rags.
The bullet entered about two
inches below the left nipple, missing
the painted spot on his breast owe,
his heart, and going through his
body, coming out at his back. In
ten minutes physician pronounced
him dead.
He died in great agony. His wife
was present, but did not show any
signs Of grief.
Homes killed Kiotubby to get hi:
wife. Although he had a wife him
self, he threatened to kill her if she
did not live with him. The first op
portunity she had she made bel
escape and caused his arrest.

What the WOrkIngman Pays.

Utica Observer: The tin plate cry
for more tariff illustrates the protec
ton chain. First there is duty on
iron ore, then duty on pig iron;
then duty on steel; then duty on
tin plate; then duty on manufac-
tured tin. The mine owner charges
the furnace man as much extra for
his ore as the tariff will permit. The
furnace man adds the pig iron tariff
and the iron ore extra to the price
of pig iron to the steelmaker. The
steelmaker adds the steel tariff and
the iron ore tariff to the price of
steel to the tin-plate maker. The
tin-plate maker adds the tin plate
tariff and the steel tariff and the pig
iron tariff and the iron ore tariff to
the price of tin plate to the manu-.
facturer of tinware. The manufac-
turer of tinware adds the tariff on
tin plate AID the tariff on steel and
the tariff on pig iron and the tariff
