BELLE FoURCHE BANK
RAIDED BY ROBBERS
Caught in the Act and Are Holly
Pursued by a Large Posse
Of Citizens.
ONE RoBBER is CAPTURED
He Loses His Horse and Is Over

ed and Will Probably
BE Captured.

Deadwood, June 30.-A partially sue
cessful attempt was made yesterday
by five mel to rob the bank of Clay
Robinson d Co., at Belle Fourche, and
as a result of some hitch in the plans
of the robbers, one of them giving the
name of Thomas a Day, is in Jail at
Deadwood. Four of the men had
hitched their saddle horses at some
distance from the bank and entered
the building through n side door. The
fifth man rode up to the front door,
di%slnounted without hitching his horse
and entered the bank with n drawn re-
volver. Several customers were in the
bank at the time and they were or
dered to hold up their hands and step
aside at the point of several six
shooters. The cashier, A. H. Marble,
drew Il revolver on the intruders, but
it missed fire and before he could try
it a second time he was covered and
compelled to surrender. While the
robbers We're taking what money was
lying on the counter. A. Giles, q bus
mess man across the street, saw
through the bank window the men
grouped in a corner with their hands
above their heads and ran to the bank
to ascertain the cause. He met four
revolvers, and retreated while several
shots followed him, breaking window
glass in his store and in an adjoining
building belonging to Gray Bros. One
bullet plowed a furrow in the cheek
of the senior member of the latter
firm. One of the robbers then stepped
out in front of the saloon to keep the
street clear until his confederates
could get out. By this time his horse
had become frightened and ran after
the four men who We're escaping, leav-
ing it's rider behind. The town was
aroused and a lively fusillade was
kept up toward the fleeing men until
they got out of sight, they returning
the fire, but without any effect on
either side.
j. r. Miller, a citizen mounted a
horse and started after the robbers,
but being mistaken for an accomplice,
his horse was shot from under him be-
fore he had gone 100 yards. The rob-
her whose horse had left him mingled
with the crowd and was not detected
until he was seen trying to urge an
other animal in the direction his horse
had taken. He was captured and iden-
titled by several of the men who had
looked down his pistol barrel. Near
ly $500 in money was found upon him,
but it was not stolen from the bank.
The other four men are surrounded by
a posse of nearly 100 men near the
WV cattle ranch above Belle Fourche
where they will likely be captured or
killed.
1t transpires that less than SIS was
taken from the bank. the cashier. Ar
thur Marble, having slammed shut and
locked the doors of the vault at the
entrance of the robbers. He was fired
at three times only one shot taking
effect.

A Peculiar Insect Making 1t Warm
For the Pest.
Huron, June 30.-Prof. Dice Nc
Laren of the state agricultural col
lege, has been in Sphinx and Day III
ties examining the districts infested
with grasshoppers. The professor
found numerous specimens of grass
hoppers in various stages of develop
ment, ranging from o%ne-fourth to an
inch or more in length. A peculiar
fact is that the older hopoers are being
destroyed by a small white maggot,
which has its birth and growth in the
body Of the hopper. Prof. McLnren is
of the opinion that this grub will, in
hot weather. kill off large numbers of
|hoppers; in fact, the work of destruc-
tion is now going on. He says that
about one-third of the hoppers in the
districts visited are natives and not of
the migratory sort. Where crops have
been destroyed they were largely upon
flax and wheat stubble of last year,
and appearances indicate that IN many
sections the cold, wet weather has
prevented to considerable extent, the
ravages of the hoppers. Heroic efforts
are being made to eAterminate them,
and so far methods have been very sue.
eessful. At the places visited he moe
ulated the swarm with q hopper de-
stroyer, which he believes will tend to
curly eradicate the pest.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SAILORS
Captain Christie and Ten Men Die
From the Effects of Java
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June %

Philadelphia, Pa, June 2o.-The de-
tails of the recent total loss of the
Philadelphia-bonnd British sugar la
den bark, Traveller, Captain Christie,
at Port Matusin, Rodriguez island, and
the death from Java fever OF ten
members of her crew, including Cap
tain Christie, have just been received
at this port from Mauritius, and bring
to light one of the most thrilling cases
of shipwreck and suffering in the an
nals of shipping.
Two of the sailors. driven to des-
peration by witnessing the sufferings
of their shipmntes, committed suicide
by leaping overheard, preferring
death in this way rather than from
the ravages of the fever, which they
felt was sure to overtake them. One
by one the men died off until the
mate and second mate were the only
officers spared, and the former finally
succumbed to the Dreaded disease.
Captain Christie and seven me had
died, and their bodies were thrown
over the ships sides. For nearly Two
weeks she drifted to the northward
md eastward of Rodriguez and ran
into Port Tathussen. An effort was
made to get medical aid from the
shore. That night the wind rose and
the following sunrise the vessel drove
on the outlying reefs and became a
total loss. She afterward entirely dis.
appeared.
The Traveller, Il well known Liver
pool bark, built of iron in Dumbarton,
Scotland, and laden with about $500
bags of sugar, valued at $4,000, left
Java for Philadelphia Christmas week,
and although she came to grief Febru-
sry 3 at Rodriguez, a remote island in
the Indian ocean,, nothing was known
of it until last month. Captain Chris
tie of the unfortunate vessel was we'll
known here, having sailed out of Phil
adelphia a number of times on deep
water voyages.
She vas owned by j. II. Haws &
Co. of Liverpool, was 1920 tons regis
ter and was built in 1879. The vessel
was insured in England, but the car
go was held by American companies.
