EIGHT WITH ROBBERS,

A desperate battle was fought in the
streets OF Meeker, Col. yesterday be-
tween three men, who robbed the bank
at that place, and the citizens, and last
night the robbers were on cooling
boards 10 the morgue. Three citizens
were wounded by the bandits before
they bit the dust. The dead are Geo.
Harris, Charles Jones and Vim. Smith.
The robbers entered the town from the
north, mounted, and proceeded to the
bank without any attempt at conceal
ment. The bank is located in a gener-
al store, one OF the largest trading
houses in that section o. the country.
They stepped quickly into the room,
two of them remaining in the centre
while one OF them approached the bank
window, where the cashier was en-
gagged in conversation with q depositor,
and brushing him aside, thrust re-
vover into his face. The man lodged
and the sound Of pistol shot caused
the cashier to raise his hands. Then
the two men in the centre of the store
commanded everybody to hold up their
hands. 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 pos
session OF the men in the store and
forced them to leave by a side door,
where they had hitched their horses.
But the robbers miscalculated, and as
they stepped through the door they
found the building surrounded by the
town people, who were aroused by the
shots, and the alternative of surrend-
ering or fighting it out was presented
to them. They raised their revolvers
and commenced to fire Immediately.
Bullets penetrated the building and
rained through the crowd. In less
time than it takes to tell it about 100
shoots were fred and the robbers fell,
defiant and firing. Two of them died
in an instant, their skulls split, their
hearts pierced and their bodies pene-
trated by rifle balls. One OF the men,
who gave his name as Harris, lived for
an hour, and gave the names of his
pals. The names are undoubtedly as
sumed. The money, less than thou
sand dollars, was recovered.

To the Editor Of he Alexandria Gazette:
Dear sir:-I see By a short editorial in your
Tri.weekly issue Of the Sth inst, that you
have fallen into an error with reference to
the new election law, in which you state that
under that law the secrecy OF the ballot has
been destroyed lin so far as it respects illit-
crate voters who will have to seek the aid of
the election judges in the preparation Of their
ballots, and it is only natural that republicans
will apply to republican judges and demo.
Gratis to de nocratic judges, in the presence Of
spectators" If you will examine the law.
chapter 700, page 76S, section II, acts
1S95-'96, you will find that the judges OF
elections are required to designate or ap-
point one OF their number, whose duty it
shall be, at the request of any elector who
may be physically or educatlonally unable TO
prepare his ballot, to enter the booth with
him and render him the necessary assist
ance. and not that the voter has the pTivi
lege Of making his own election You will
also see that such judge is under heavy pen
atty. debarIed from divulging or indicating.
"by sign or otherwise, the name or names OF
the person or persons for whom any clector
shall vote" Respectfully,
