-No Clue to the Identity OF the Nuraerers-
SHEPHERD, Mich. Aug. 2l.-ElGer E. Struble
cashier os the Farmers Bnnk here was killed
this morning by robbers The deed shows either
careful planning. with inside knowledge Of the
cashiers movements, or rare amount OF good
luck for the ROBBERS. Mr.. Struble was cashier
OF the bank for many years. The bank Is in the
rear Of Nathaniel w. Struble's hardware
store. 1t was necessary for Cashier Strubls to
visit Mount Pleasant, the county seat. this
morning, and be made no secret OF this inten.
tion. as he purposed to return before the time
for opening the bank. He left his home about 4
o'clock. intending to stop at the bank. get some
papers which he needed in connection with his
visit to Mount Pleasant, aud then continue his
journey.
Mr.. Struble must have been unmolested until
he opened the vault. The vault doors were
opened, and had not been forced. and Mr.. Stru.
bles body was found lying half inside the vault.
Appearances indicate that he made fierce
struggle before being overpowered. as his cloth
ing was much disarranged. Nothing was known
OF the crime unit! shortly after o'clock, when
one OF the clerks in the hardware store opened
the store. Noticing the unusual conditions In
breathing but unconscioHs. Il was found that
he had been shot four times, once in the arm,
onSe in the back. and twice near the heart. The
bullets were all OF the same cA,ibrs, and were
prubably trra from the same weapon.
The theory o. the prosecuting attorney and
Sheriff IS that the robbers must have learned OF
S;rlble's intention and forced their way into
the bank. where they awaited his coming. At
rrst IL was supposed that S;ruble might have
committed suicide, as the Farmers Bank was
more or less hampered by the suspension Of tho
Peoples Bank AZ Mount Pleasant two days ago.
This suspicion IS apparently without founda-
tion. as every hing About the oalCe shows n
fierce h.:ht. ali the furniture TO. ax wrecked.
The sheriff believes that the Job was done by
persons whom Struble recosn!Zed and they shot
him 10 protect themselves.
J. F. Ryan OF Mount Pleasant. the owner ot
the bank. is here, but refuses to even stve an
estimate OF the amount OF money taken al.
though it is reported that the sum is large.
There is absolutely no clue to the identity Of
the robbers. The whole town is working on
the case. business being almost entirely sus-
pended. Struble lived until IL o'clock, but did
not regain consciousness.

WIniaa MALONE EseaDes Again rr0o tie
Bsdssa River state Hospital


Hudson River state Hospital
PocoHKzEPsrE. Aug. ol.-For .wo days the
whole available force Of attendants at the
Hudson River State Hospital has been search
ing the woods and fields for William Malone,
aged ~ years. . patient with suicidal tenden-
ctes. who made = daring escape from the mems
department early on Friday morning. With an
ingenuity hardly to be looked for In person
hopelessly insane. Malone broke the heavy iron
bars in his window and covered the fractured
parts with strips Of black cloth When An op-
portunity TO escape offered he pried the broken
bars apart and leaped thirty feet to the rocks
below. His daring leap for liberty was success
ful. for he got into the woods and had not been
captured mp TO this evening
From the appearance OF the ground where
Malone fell the hospital authorities think that
he may have injured himself seriously. This
makes It possible that the Insane man has
crawled into some out-of-the-uay place and laid
down to die. Last winter MAlqpe escaped from
the hospital. clad only in q sheet, and walk ed
through the snowy fields in his hare feet. He
got = ride on a train TO Hyde Park and was cap
tured there.

A Great 1.niss or In the Rsesspss Th1s "a,
YhLs Year.

BosToS. Aug. 21.-A notice has been issued by
Chairman E. b. Webb OF the Prudential Com
mittee OF the American Board to the members
OF the Congregational churches throughout the
country in reference 10 what appears to be .
serious crisis in the financial coalition OF tho
board. He says:
Tho gradual falling OF In receipts for the
hrst nine months OF the year has been keen
disappointment. but the uplitt in June gave the
hope OF turn In the tide. Instead OF q eontin-
ued increase, the donations from churches
and individuals for July are nearly sl7.-
OOO lesA than in July. 1896, thus creating a
total loss Of about $4,000. Every effort has
been made during the year. even to the Gripping
OF the missions, 10 reduce expenditures to the
probable Income.
The Prudential Committee desire to make the
situation clearly known, and add that unless
help comes az once, the result will be burden
some debt at home, a. well a. further Gripping
OF the work abroad"
