THREE ROBBERS
BITE THE DUST
Tragic Sequel to a Bank
Raid at Meeker,
Colorado.
The Bandits Obtain About $1,000,
but Fail to Get Away
With It.
HOT FIGHT WITH CITIZENS,
Three of the Latter Wounded-0ver
Hundred Shots Fired During
the Battle.

MEEKER, Colo, Oct. 14.-One of the
most desperate battles was fought on the
streets of this town to-day between the
men who robbed the Bank of Meeker and
the citizens, and tonight three robbers
lie on cooling-b boards in the morgue and
three citizens are found to have been
wounded by the thieves before the latter
bit the dust. The dead are: George Har-
ris, Charles Jones and William Smith.
Without doubt it is the most daring
crime in the history of this section of the
country, which for long time has been
the center of storms, of Indian wars and
exciting events, and the battle of to-day
is the most remarkable.
The robbers entered the town from the
north, mounted, and proceeded to the
bank without any attempt at concealment
of themselves. The bank is located in q
gen eral store, one of the largest of the
trading houses in this section of the coun-
try. They stepped quickly into the room,
two of them remaining in the center of it
while one of them approached the bank
window, where the cashier was engaged
in conversation with depositor, and
brushing the latter aside thrust revolver
in his face.
The man lodged, and the sound of a
pistol shot caused the cashier to raise his
hands. Then the two men in the center
of the store commanded every body TO hold
up tt hands or die. Nobody wanted to
die.
Cashier Moulton then opened the doors
OF the safe at the point of the revolver,
and the contents of the strong box were
removed, after which the robbers took all
the firearms in the possession of the men

NEW YORK. N. Y, Oct. 14-Accord-
ing to Bishop Farley, who was seen at the
residence of Arch bishop Corrigan to-day,
it can be semi officially stated that the
successor to Bishop Keane as rector of the
Catholic University at Washington will
be priest and not bishop. Bishop Far
ley was positive in his assertion. He is
one of the board of directors. Bishop
Farley also said that at meeting of the
directors of the Catholic University, to be
held in Washington on the 23d inst, the
names of three priests would be selected
and these sent to Rome, there to be
acted upon. He would express no opinion
as to who Bishop Keane's successor would
be.

equally responsible. The cabinet

chamber of deputies.
