trail. At o'clock Sair stopped at farr

minutes later the house was surrounded.
| The rObber darted FOR a window, out of

Keep a good distance in the lead. His

cornfield. Deputy Sheriff Brayton was
close on his heels and opened fire with q
double -barreled shotgun. The bandit
seeing he had no chance to make his es-
cape, placed a revolver to his head and
sent ball through his brain. BY the
time the deputy sheriffs reached him
he was dead His body was riddled with
bullets. Most of the money taken from
the bank was found on hts person.

before the robbery. A report is also re-
celved that tall man entered the bank

with revolver ard demanded the pro-
ceeds. He was handed out $500 and made

SUNSHINE SIGNALS.
Northern Boys Get Away With the
Local Record,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s.-The
California record for fong-distance mes
sage signaling is again held by the Sig
nal corps Of the Second brigade. There
is great rejoicing among the San Fran
cisco national guardsmen, as they have
plucked victory from defeat and are no
longer compelled to acknowledge the SUI
periority of the First brigade corps, sta
toned at Los Angeles.
The record is now from Mount Helena
to Mount Diablo, distance Of 66.3 miles.
Between those points messages were
flashed on Sunday, thereby surprising
the exploits of the First brigade corps,
which exchanged photographic signals
between Catalina peak and Wilson's
Peak, 619 miles apart. There has long
been friendly rivalry between the two
bodies

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. Civilian J.
Bryan arrieved at Sioux City from Mar
shailtown at 1925 this morning, an hour
behind time. The delay was caused by
numerous demands of the people at the
stations along the line to see the presi-
dental candidate. Nearly all night
long crowds gathered at the stations to
At onawa. Monoona county, the train
stopped ten minutes. Bryan went out
on the rear platform and addressed a
large crowd. 1t was Utterly cold and a
strong wind blew di,1ctly in the speak
er's face. The people went wild with de-
light.
AT Sioux City. the first stop of the day,
Mr. Bryan was given great reception.
Not only the population of the town
turned out in force, but the numbers
were increased by big delegations from
Nebraska, just across the river. They
gave their fellow citizen a great greet
ing, and the car sheds of the Union sta
ton, where Mr.. Bryan spoke from a
platform, was packed. The nominee was
introduced to the crowd by ex-District
Judge Van Wagner, candidate for con-
gress from the Eleventh district.
IN DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls gave Mr.. Bryan his first
real reception in Dakota. 1t drew on
three states for crowds-Minnesota
Iowa and Dakota; and the crowds were
there. 1t was the most enthusiastic
meeting the nominee has had at any
place of it's size in the United States
Better preparations had been made, a
procession of no mean proportions was
drawn up at the depot whel the train
carrying Mr.. Bryan came I'm. It was
raining, and the day was not calcula ted
to rouse enthusiasm or to swell crowds.
After dinner Mr. Bryan was taken to
the bicycle track. By this time the rain
was pouring down In torrents, but when
he reached the stand he found crowd
waiting to hear him. Mr.. Bryan's speech
was devoted mainly to exonerating.Sen-
ator Pettigrew from the charge Of dis
loyalty to the Republican party. He
maintained that Senator Pettigrew did
a manly and courageous act in refusing
to accept the Republican policy.
/, The train was nearly two hours late
when Huron was reached. Here MI.
Bryan spoke to a good-sized audience
and was frequently cheered. Aberdeen
was not reached until late at night. A
big reception had been planned but on
account of the lateness of the hour 1t
was not carried out to it's full extent.
There was large crowd in waiting and
to them Mr.. Bryan made brief address.
After his Aberdeen speech Mr.. Bryan
returned to his car and retired for the
night, sleeping his way through to Far
go, N. D., which will be reached early
tomorrow morning.

afternoon stating that the man who
robbed the United States mail at De-

near Delano, and that a quantity of the

to Mr.: Roosevelt. broke down complete

Mr. Castle added in a somewhat calm
er strain: II wish to thank our Ameri-
can friends for their kindness and ask
them not to lose faith In our integrity"
Mrs. Castle was suffering from severe
pains in the head and seemed to be dazed
in the presence of visitors. She said that
she was unable to speak on account of q
headache. Previous to the arrest, a ply

Of the Castles upon their arrest. He has
communicated with the foreign police in
an effort to fix the identity of some of
these articles, but had not yet received

CHICAGO DEMOCRATS.
A Torchlight Parade Not Lacking in
Enthusiasm. .

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The Democracy
held possession of the streets tonight,
and 1t improved its opportunity to the
utmost. AS early as 6 o'clock, within
on hour after Michigan avenue had
cleared up after the marching Repub-
licans, the leading organizations of the
Democratic party began to appear for
their torchlight demonstration. They
poured in rapidly, and by o'clock the
street was again packed. One division
formed on Michigan avenue, and as soon
as it had passed Washington street the
second wheeled into line. The West
Side columns formed in Haymarket
square and poured over Randolph street
bridge. joining the main procession at
Randolph and Market streets A high
wind arose in the course of the even
ing and made 1t matter of some diff
Guilty to keep torches ard Transparent
cies lighted. The parade, after being
fully formed, marched south to Jackson
street, and then turned south on Michi-
gan avenue to Sixteenth street, along
which it marched to Tattersall's, where
the speaking was in progress. At this
point it disbanded.
The cold wind and the fatigues of the
early part of the day had its effect on
the number of spectators, and the night
parade was not witnessed by the large
crowds Of the morning and afternoon.
However, the Bryan men in the parade
and those on the sidewalks showed rI
deficiency of enthusiasm during the
march. The yells and cheers went up
constantly. and as about every other
man in the line had a tin horn, the vol
une of noise was deafening.
The Democratic campaign managers
expressed themselves as more than
satisfied with the parade and were
greatly pleased over the showing made.
No attempt was made to review the pro
casslon, ard it was carried through in
an energetic manner. The parade was
over an hour and a half in passing a
given point.
