MASKED MEN ROB A BANK.
HOLD UP G HIT PERSONS AND
GET ABoUT $4,000.

Four Men. Thought to ne Laughing Sam Carey
with = View Gang. Raid the nutte county
Rank mt Beiie Pourche, South Dakota, ana
All but One Get Away Into the Had Lands.
DEADwooD, 8. D., June 2s.-Four masked men
made o desperate raid on the Butte County
Bank at Belle Fourche this afternoon. Entering
tho bank with rcvolvers drawn they ordered
tho customers present and the bank officials to
put up their hands. A little hesitancy on the
part of Cashier Marble drew q shot from one Of
tho robbers, which clipped Off O piece of the
cashiers right ear and enforced compliance with
the command.
In the safe and on tho counters there were bills
and coin amounting to about 10000. Tho rob-
bcrs scooped it all into a sack. backed out Of tho
bank, and mounting their horses. which had
been conveniently stationed near, rode away.
The alarm was given Immediately and in a few
moments a well-mounted and armed posse was
In pursuit. Within n few miles from town tho
posse came up with the ~fugitives and n running
fight ensued. which resulted in one of the rob-
bers surrendering. The others, being better
mounted, kept on. but are closely pursued and
have very little chance of escaping.
The man who was captured Is q stranger in
the hills, and 1t is believed that he was used to
locate the place and fix all the details. The other
men are believed TO be tho remnants of the once
famous band of Laughing Sam Carey that
fourished In the Black Hills until ten years ago.
when they held up the iron.bound treasure
coach of the Wells-Fargo Company at Buffalo
Gap and were almost cxterminatcd. They got
$4,000 in gold at that time. and the surviving
members got out Of the country with 1t.
Several men who saw the escaping robbers to-
day declare that the leader was Carey. None of
the men carried rifles. but all were armed with
heavy revolvers. The men made for the Bad
Lands. They evidently figure on standing off
the posse or hiding in some of tho many re-
cesses.
There were eight men in the bank at the time
the robbers entered, three of whom had pistols
in their pockets. Most OF them were men who
have lived on the frontier a long time, and knew
that an effort to draw a revolver would merely
precipitate q fight that might end in the killing
Of all those in the bank.
The men worked at the job as coolly as IL they
were performing a legitimate transaction.
When they were ovcrtaken by their pursuers
they had discarded their masks and were count.
ing the money. They quickly got their revolvcrs
into action, and showed by the way they used
them that they were old-timers at the business.
The bank has offered q reward Of $1,000 for
the robbers, dead or alive.

SOME KENTUCKY sHooTINGs.
Rows OF Various Kinds That Resulted Fatally
In the Hue Grass state.

LOUISVILLE, KY, juno 2s.-An old feud was
revived at a picnic on Straight Fork. Lewis
county, Saturday afternoon. the result being
that two men were killed and four others moro
or less severely wounded. Tom Logan was the
first man TO fire, shooting down Wyatt Cooper
and putting six bullets In his body while he was
dying. Three or four others, friends of Cooper
and Wyatt, took part. Their names were not
learned, but one WAS so badly shot that lie died
last night at 8 o'clock, and four others were
badly but not dangerously hurt.
Logan made his escape. and has not been
heard of since. So did the others. Cooper and
Iooan were young firm IN belonging to noun
tain families. There had long been enmity be-
tween them, but this Is the first killing.
on the streets Of this city this afternoon at 1
O'clock between Marion Sebastian and his
brothers-in.law. Dee and Jack Turner. All OF
them were armed with revolvCrs. The Turner's
met Sebastian and began shooting. Sebastian
drew his pistol and,-.hred four shots at his as.
sailants, all OF which missed. Just AS he raised
his pistol for the fifth shot le fell dead.
The shooting Is the result Of a Yrudgc growing
out of the divorce suit Of Dee Turner and his
wife, who was Miss Sallie Nave; Sebastian
was n witness In the suit, and his testimony
WAS damaging to Turner. 1t has been freely

Fear Of an operation to remove n tumor

weeks, dressed herself and walked out of the
hospital, declaring that abe vas free from pain

Fordham of Bay Shore, Long Island. Her
physicians at home had told her that unless the
tumor was removed she would soon die. They
added thea the operation might kill her any
way. This frightened her, and she was in
feverish haste to be operated upon. Laid out
on a mattress she was brought to Brooklyn in
Seney Hospital. The doctors there. after her
case had been under observation for two OF
three days, decided that fright was hurting her
more than the tumor. The operation did not

DENVER, Col, June 2s.-An army of $4,000
tramps is moving westward. At present it is in
Kansas. 1t is approaching in four divisions,
following the various lines of railways, and SO
troublesome has 1t become that tho people have
petitioned the railroads to carry them on to the

The tramps beg everything in the way Of old
clothes. money and meals. and tho Inhabitants
have begun to look upon the movement as a
serious matter. The Union Pacific and the Mis-
souri, Pacific have placed shotguns and guards
on their trains.
Last week a tramp named Bailey was killed
at Salina by a brakeman named Callahan. Ho
was riding on the brake beam. The brakeman
descended and. it il said. kicked Bailey with
such violence that he fell ana was ground under
the wheels. The tramps infest the wheat and
corn fields ut night.
Such is the story told by James Wright OF To-
peka. a prominent railway and express officer,
who is stopping at the Windsor. The
tramps will pass through Colorado on
their way to the Pacific coast, in the
wake of the Christian Endeavor Convention
excursions. They say that they are cndcavoring
to secure work in the irrigated valleys of tho
West. What they will do when they reach the
coast is a question. They have no means and
are a menace.

wheelwomnn says Hrs Clara Muiiisnns
A short and rather plump young woman in Q
pink shirt waist was seen to enter Central PARK
at 10 o'clock last night by the 1O6th street en-
trance and walk up the path leading by Mo-
Gowns Pass Tavern. She walked along slowly
until she reached a bench opposite a little inlet
of tho Harlem mere, the pond in the northeass
corner of the Park. 1t was dark where she sat
and nobody could see what she was doing.
A few moments later she was heard moaning.
Some pedestrians went up and spoke to her.
She seemed to be in great distress and could not
or would not answer questions.
Park Policeman Frawley, who was near By,
was called, and u hurry call was sent to the Hars
lem Hospital for an ambulance.
Then the police and citizens scurried around
the neighborhood for physicians. and soon there
were no less than five doctors there.
A threc.ouncc vial which was labelled car
bolic acid was found. and she had evidently
drunk all 1t contained.
She was laid out on the grass back Of the
bench. and in the light shed by the lamps of the
bicyclists who gathered around the physicians
tried to do something for the girl.
They were DIR. Grichel of Madison avenue and
106th street, DIR. Remcr of 1858 Madison ave
nue., Dr. Clark ana Dr. BurtSell or 20 East 1Uotn

Tho girl died in agony within half an hour.
While she was lying on the ground n young
man in the group around her was heard to ex-
claim:
why. that's Maggie Farley"
He disappeared. Immediately afterward. The
police made inquiry of everybody around to soc
if they could identify her. but without success.
One Of the wheelwSmen thought she recog-
label on the carbolic acid bottle bore the name
of Eisentrugcr, 1882 Third avenue. near 1O4th
street.
The body of the young woman was removed to
the Arsenal in the ambulance.
The suicide had fair hair and blue eyes. She
was to all appearances a working. girl. She
wore a pink shirt waist, a gray. skirt, and O
black and white straw hat trimmed with flowers.
She had u silk beaded purse containing 40
cents and wore a gold wire ring on the third
finger Of her right hand.
