MURDER BY BANK ROBBERS.
Minnesota Bandits Kill Two Men
and Make Their Escape.

and Make Their Escape.
The deliberate murder of two men was
committed at Sherburne. Mimi, We'd
nesday by h~ighwaymen who robbed the
Bank of Sherburne of $1,000. The af-
fair was a terrible reminder Of the great
bank robbery at Mortified in 1876, in
which the James and Younger boys were
participants. About noon two strangers,
one of whom looked like Il mere boy, rode
along the main street or bicycles. They
were both we'll dressed but We're I'M
shaven and travel-staineJ. No particular
attention was paid to them. as Sherburne
is a town of but 800 persons. most of them
w~orkingmen, and at that hour they were
h%urrying home to dinner.
The strangers loitered around the out
skirts until nearly l o'clock. At that
time they sauntered lazlly down the street
and stopped Immediately in front of the
bank of Sherburne. After a moments
ak they went into the bank. and the
elder Of the men engaged Assistant Cash
Ter George Thorburn in conversation One
of the desperadoes secured possession of a
roll Of bills containing about 5 1000.
Thorburn tried to prevent the men from
getting away with the money, when they
whipped out their revolvers and began
firing and at the same time r%etreating.
One of the bullets struck Thorburn, caus-
ing almost instant death. The shOotins
within the bank aroused the town, and
the citizens began running in that dire
ton. The first man to reach the place
was Olaf Oestern, a travelling salesman
for the Wood Harvester Con pGny of st.
Paul. The desper. uocs. fearing they
would be capturca, qu!' sly turned their
weapons upon >e fcrn. lie made n dash

to places of shelter. They ran about three
blocks to some bushes where they had
left their wheels. These they mounted
and rode rapidly away toward the Iowa
Everett and the town marshal at once
did all in their power to capture the ban
dts. Sheriff Hill, of Marion County,
organized a large posse of determined
Sherburne men, which moved southwark
on horseback late in the afternoon. 1t is
declared that if the men are captured they
will be strung up to a limb of the fret
tree big enough to bear them. The men
got away with the roll of money. about
$1,000. which they snatched from the
counter of the bank. Gov. Clough issued
a proclamation offering 4 reward of $500
for the capture of the ROBBERS.

The truth is that the American pie,

The land Office at Pierre has received
permission to sell the buildings which
were not bid in at the sale of Fort Sully
property. The permission is for sale at
appraised valuation. AS several parties
have made application for the buildings,
the officials have set October II as the
date when they will dispose of the prop
erty. In case there is but one applicant
for a building he will secure it at the APP
praised price. If several want the same
building it will be disposed of by COM
petitive bid. AS the buildings were not
bid up TO the appraised price at the reg
ular sale, there is not likely to be much
contest for them now.

shortly after the rush of settlers to Da-

were made to stamp it out were of little

why, and became 4 rarity. Next came
the Russian thistle, and all efforts to con-
