Rockland, October 26.-Ralph Hastings,

robbed tonight while returning home
from this city. He had almost arrived
home when he paused to obtain drink
at watering trough beside the road.
While drinking man jumped from be-
hind a tree and struck Hastings on the
head with some implement knocking him
senseless. Shortly after Clarence Moore

ness. He found that he had been robbed
Of $1S.
y This robbery follows close to another

went to his barn to feed his cattle. AS he

with sandbag. The blow did not land
fairly and Taylor shouted for assistance

lieved that the culprit is the same in both

SAFE BLOWERS AT. SANFORD.
Hardware Store of Prescott Emery
Wrecked.

Sanford, October 26.-People living on
Main street heard terrific explosion at
two O'Clock this morning, but did not
learn the cause until daylight.
When Prescott Emery opened his hard
ware store he found things in a rather
demoralized condition. The glass parti-
tion around his office were shattered, the
money till was lying on the desk, and
his safe was a wreck. The strong box,
which contained 81, was wrenched from
It's fastenings and carried away.
EssThe burglars drilled no hole in the safe,
but simply pried out the lock stem and
inserted the powder in the hole. Not only
was the door blown from its hinges, bu
the freproof portion was wrenched from
the steel front.
The thisves entered the building by
means of back window Several tools
that they used were stolen from Elmer D.
Benefits plumb shop, which was also
broken into They left no clew.

The two men were fed and the next day
they received newspapers containing ac
counts of the tragedy and the doings Of
the officers who were seeking their cap
ture. For three or four days they re-
manned in the woods, coming to the hut
for their food. They then left to return
at intervals and since then the Perry hut
has been their rendezvous. Mrs. Perry
describes Bonai as "a splendid young
fellow and to her Weeks is terror. -
Huntington people tonight claim that
if reward had been offered for the cap
ture of Bonai and Weeks, dead or alive,
without proviso calling for.apprehension
and conviction, etc., they might have
been taken sometime ago.
The story of the robbery and murder
is familiar In brief 1t may be stated
that on stormy night three months ago,
two men broke into the house occupied
by Farmer Nichols and his aged sister
Mary. They shot Mr.. Nichols SO that
he died within short time and wound
ed the sister. They then ransacked the
house, stealing money and papers. to the
value of over $1,000. Collecting whatever
eatables they could easily lay hands on.
the two desperadoes ate and drank, while
Farmer Nichols lay dying within few
feet. Their work done, the two men left
and several hours afterward Mary
Nichols crawled to the roadsides and gave
the alarm.
A reward of $4,000 was offered for the
apprehension and conviction Of the two
men.

TWENTY THOUSAND MAssED.

Simla, October 26.-It ia estimated that
tribesmen have massed 90, 1000 men at
Sempagha pass, where they are busy
constructing rife pits and Strengthening
their defences.
1t is generally believed, however, that
it will be possible to turn the position by
either flank and, though hard fighting
is possible in store, it is hoped that the
pass will be carried without great effort.
Meanwhile it is bad news that the
tribesmen have been begun to operate
on the British lines of communication.
The fear is that, finding this the most
successful means of delaying the British
advance, they will detach still larger
bodies to attack the British conveys and
cut up the escorts.
This (Tuesday) evening the tribesmen
harrassed the British camp near Khanga-
bur by a constant well directed fire for
several hours. Nearly 80 non-comIuis-
stoned officers and men were slightly
wounded.

Mason's law office today. Scholder said
q few years ago he was the owner of q
large tract of land in eastern Kansas. He
was swindled out of it through litigation
and now wants the President to assist
him in regaining his property. He said
he had come to Chicago in the hope of
securing the sympathy of some prominent
attorney but had been unsuccessful and
was almost discouraged. He had called
on Senator Mason in order to persuade
the latter to assist him in securing what
he wanted from the President. The
senator is not in the city. Another ap-
pointment was made with the man on the
suspicion that he was crank and detec-
tives were sent for, but he did not show
up again. He has been in Chicago three
weeks, penniless and on the verge of
starvation. He said he had daughter
living in Fort Scott, Kansas, and if he
did not go to Washington he would re-
turn to Kansas
