ROB THE CHI sE BANK.
Two Men Get About $4,000 and Sue
cessfulIy Escape.


Sterling. Oct 1.-Two men blew open
the safe at Chase, just east of here,
Saturday, made a good haul and es-
capped
Two blacksmith shops were broken
open and the necessary tools taken. The
first attempt to blow open the safe
failed, and a number of persons were
awakened by the noise made. The
next attempt completely demolished
the safe, hurting its doors forty feet.
The glass in the building was shattered
and much of the furniture damaged.
The amount in the safe was between
s.. 900 and $4,000.
Considerable of the silver was twisted
out of shape, some pieces being hurled
through the windows into the street.
The bills and papers in the safe were
scattered in shreds about the room.
The second explosion brought out the
town, but the robbers had escaped. The
only clue is the footprints, one a wide
toe, the other narrow and pointed. Two
men on foot were seen hurrying
through the cornfelds near Alden late
last evening.

SANTA FE INSPECTION PARTY
Stopped at Albuquerque on the Way
to the Grand Canon.

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Oct. 4.-Presf-
dent Ripley of the Santa Fe railway
system and party, occupying five spec
iaI cars, reached the city today and was
met here by w. G. Nevin, general man
ager of the Santa Fe, Pacific & South
ern California from Los Angeles.
Mr.. NeVin said:
The railroads running in and out of
this city are doing the biggest business
since their existence and between re
building and improving the roadbed out
west and the freight and passenger
business now enjoyed, it keeps all of
US moving. The passenger traffic at
this time of year is undoubtedly the
heaviest in the history of the Santa Fe
system: every engine and every car is
moving. Again the local shops are

SANTA FE anniversary.
The Denver Republican Pays the
Great Road Tribute.

The Denver Republican says: The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road
celebrated it's twenty-fifth anniversary
in Topeka the other day and a parade
represented the evolution of the Santa
F'e trail from the wagon train to the
lOmOtive.
There are not many railroads that in
celebrating the completion of only %
years since their organization could
show as great a change as that which
is presented by comparison of the
southwest of today with what it was
when the construction of the Santa F'e
road was begun. The southwest is old,
but to a majority of the people who
travel over the Santa Fe railroad it is
comparatively new. The change is
great, therefore, not only in the deVel-
Opment Of the country, but especially
in its relation to the remainder OF the
Union.
The settlement of New Mexico was
from Mexico, while that of Arizona was
California Nearly all the American
population of Arizona came from Cali
fOrnla up to the time of the cOnstruc-
ton of the Atlantic & Pacific road
through the northern part of the ter
ritOry. New Mexico and Arizona were
therefore, in relation to the main part
of the United States, remote and isOla-
ted regions, with which communica-
ton was maintained with difficulty, or
at least with great labor to those who
made the journey across the plains.
The railroad found New Mexico a COM
munity essentially Mexican in charac-
ter. 1t was so in its architecture, in its
language, its social relations, its man
ner of conducting business
But the road brought with it the fac
tors Of change, and although New Mex
leo still possesses some characteristics
resembling those that dominated it at
the beginning of the railroad era, it
has undergone a radical change This
is still in progress, and it probably will
in the near future be much more rap
id than it has thus far been. Probably
a still more marked change is seen in
Arizona, for its population has been
greatly Increased, and it is in touch
not alone with California, but also with
the east. Neither territory is now iso-
lated They are but a few hours re
moved from Denver and but a few days
from the Atlantic seaboard.

Much Indignation Over the Death of
w. G. Mann at Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Oct. 4.-Much indignation
is manifested over the peculiar circum-
stances attending the death of w. C.
Mann. Mr.. Mann was welI-known
gardener and his death occurred last
week. It has been since learned that
he died from neglect and left his large
family penniless. Last spring Mann
was converted by the American Volun-
teer branch Of the Salvation Army,
the members of which have also been
posing as Christian Scientists and faith
healers. They got a strong hold on
Mann, and he became convinced that
the Lord did not intend medicine for
mortal use. He was also impressed
that it was wrong to carry life insur-
ance. He Immediately dropped his
insurance in the A o. U. w
About a month ago he was taken
sick, and to the end refused to take
medicine. All efforts of friends proved
in vain. His brethren prayed for him
to the last and pronounced his death
