In their search around the office they
failed to find the cash drawer, noticing
only the open till on the counter, from
which they grabbed a handful of frac-
tional currency and put it in grain
sack they had brought, but left on the
floor of the bank. After the search for
weapons and a hasty oVerhaullng of
some papers and wallets, they turned
their attention to the vault. One Of
them stepped inside the door of the
vault, as it stood open, when Mr.. Hey
wood, probably with the thought of
protecting the contents, sprang to the
vault door and partly closed it, but was
at once seized and dragged away.
About this time one of them, think
Bob Younger, noticed Mr.. Bunker edg-
Ing towards the counter, and, spring
ing in that direction, Spied a small re
VolVer, which lay on the shelf. With
an oath, he commanded Bunker to
keep still, and put the the revolver in
his pocket, saying with sneer: You
couldn't do anything with that little
derringer, anyway About this time
they turned their attention to Mr.. Hey
wood, in an effort to make him open
the bank safe. With oaths they insist
ed he was the cashier, and, as they
stood over him, one pulled out a knife,
drew Heywood's head back and said:
let's cut his throat" I think the
knife was drawn across his throat,
leaxing slight scratch. Then, to fur
Their intimidate him, a shot was fired
over his head. About this time the
leader ordered one of the others to so
into the vault and try the safe. 1 be-
lieve 1t was Pitts who replied: "All
right but don't let him (referring to
Heywood) lock me in there" 1t was
at this time Mr.. Bunker thought he
saw a chance to get out and sprang for
the door, followed at once by Pitts,
who fired two shots, the second, while
Bunker was outside, taking effect. Mr..
Haywood was being handled roughly,
meanwhile, and cried out murder"

eye witnesses tell their own stories of
what they actually saw. No doubt If
the witnesses had been called to the
stand the next week their evidence
would have varied considerably, and
It is not strange that after a decade
some of the minor details of the rob-
berry cannot be reconciled. The stories
are here given, however, just as they
were told to your reporter without
any attempt to make them harmonic.
In order that those who have never
visited the town may understand the
evidence here given, a few explana-
lions are necessary.
Mortified is about forty miles d.
rectly south of st. Paul and is built
on the Cannon river, part of the town
being on the east and part on the west
of the stream. The river Is spanned
at Fourth street by bridge. 1t was
over this bridge that the band Of eight
robbers approached the bank, which
they subsequently attempted to rob.
The east end Of the bridge opens out
into a square which extends a block
to the east and which is about twice
y
vision street runs north and south
through the town, and at It's intersec-
ton with Fourth street, which leads
to the bridge, forms part Of the square.
The building in which the bank was
faces the south side Of the square ard
is on the west side Of Division street.
On the end facing the square at that
time were two stores. The bank en-
trance was at the rear of the building
facing Division street. With this in
PRODUCTION the witnesses will be allow
ed to give their evidence. The raid
was made on the 18th day of Sept,
1876.
WILCOX'S STORY.
T. J. Wilcox-About 2 o'clock on the
afternoon Of Sept 7, 1876, as we q. l..
Haywood A. E. Bunker and y, who
were employed in the bank, were busy
about our work, I was startled by the
sound of soma confusion and a rush
from the door, and on glancing up was
something more than startled by the
presence Of three men, with pistols III
their hands, who called out: Throw
up your hands; we are going to rob
the bank" AS the counter at the
teller's window was then only a low,
open one, they at once sprang over
into the bank. They then made us get
on our knees with hands up, asserting
that they had forty men outside and
1t was no use to resist. The demand
was at once made for the cashier, and
that the vault be opened. think they
did not see Mr.. Haywood when he first
came in, as he was sitting at one side
at desk with high front which
would partially conceal him. He arose
at once, however, and was promptly
ordered to his knees with hands UP. The
three who came in were Bob Younger,
Pitts and, as I believe, Frank James

THE ALL.PuRPosE COW.
A NOndescript, Useless and Utterly
Improbable Animal.

Improbable Animal.
The dairy business is far more over.
done by the average" COW than from
any other one cause. The trouble is
that she eats and exists upon mans
farm to do just half what is required of
her, and eats as much good food IN che
year as her betters. The amount Of
milk this average COW gives is 3,1OC
pounds yearly, and it should be as many
quarts of better milk-as the record for
per cent. fat, when it should be Az per
cent. If one looks at this average cow
critically the signs are too often re-
versed from what they should be, j. e.,
her head is too large to correspond with
her udder. and her shoulders wider than
her hips, and her tendency to put tallow
upon her caul and not in her milk, and
has ample storage capacity for every
thing except milk. She is parasite
that eateth by MONDAY, and wasteth a
mans substance by night, and in the
way of ''heecing the innocents," she
beats all the trusts and rings combined.
AS COW, she is one that uses health and
vigor to destroy food and render as lit
tie return therefor as possible. She is
a product of all the good blood and
bad breeding extant. The blood in her
veins is an amalgamation of all the
breeds under the sun, and reinforced by
the 'calico-colored' cattle of the hills,
possessing few traits OF her respectable
relations, and embodying all the unde-
sirable qualities of her scrub" kin.
She is the result Of chance breeding and
the science of moon signs combined.
She has place in our later farm indus
try-where farmers and dairymen are
thrown into a competition with the
world, and the best only wins--along-
side of the broncho pony and the Texas
steer. She is getting her revenge back
upon the men and their posterity for
the way she was bred and cared for, by
boarding with them and charging up
large part of the bill to the credit of
cher company" This average cow has
had a sort of feast and famine sort of
life; has been baked in the summer sun
and soaked by the autumn rains, frozen
and thawed alternately in winter, and
fed what was handiest and when most
convenient, and MIXED after every
thing else was done. The truth is, this
average COW will have to go, and 60
soon, or the sheriff will sell her, and de-
liver her owner over to the demnition
bow-wows. The man with an average
dairy is in the slough of despond, and
in all similitude should be using a
wooden plow - John Gould, in San
Francisco Chronicle.

the wind and sun have a chance to
great deal of inconvenience and loss
to the farmers have already occurred
as result of the long wet period, and
much more of sacrifice must be made
in the expenditure of capital and
labor to restore the damage done to
the highways, by the hard usage they
received during the open winter just
past. Prairie roads are very satisfac-
tory during dry years, but when the
bic in proportion to the length of
time and season of the year in which
the rains appear, and to the use made
of such highways during such periods.
Permanent roads may seem expen-
sive, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but when the cost Of
carriage and the expense of keeping in
repair are taken into account, the
permanent roads would probably be
made. This, of course, depends large
ly upon the accessibility of the ma
terial necessary to the construction o.
such highways. Stone, gravel or sand
form the foundation for them. Sand
and a certain kind of clay, in proper
proportions form a road suited to all
kinds of weather. The sand packs I'M
der moisture and the clay under
drought. Each supports the weakness
of the other, when combined. The
present condition of the roads will,
doubtless, revive the question which
had begun to react from the impetus
which the wheelmen had given it,
three or four years ago, owing to the
favorable weather which had kept the
highways in repair for SO long.-Farm-
ers' Union.
