In Jesse lanes STYLE.

Four robbers entered the Butte County
Bank ut Bellefourche, S. D., Monday at
ternoon and demanded the money from
the cashier, Arthur Marble. He replied
by lcveling his pistol at the leader, but it
missed FIRE, and he was compelled to hold
up his hands with four other men VINO
were in tLe bank at the time. The ROB-
bers then took the cash on the counter
and backed out to their horses, wnlcn
were tied in an alley. One of the gang
stayed outside and kept firing up ana
down to keep back the citizens, who were
by this time aroused. They mounted tnelT
horses, all save the one who was guard
ing the street, and whose horse escaped
with the other four robbers. He was
taken prisoner by Deputy Sheriff Arnolo
and taken to Deadwood, as there was
strong feeling to lynch him. during the
fusillade ON the street an old gentleman
named Waller Gay was shot through the
car, and as the citizens were firing on
the retreating robbers one of the latter
was seen to reel in his saddle. The bank
lost but SIS. Cashier Marbles presence
Of mind in locking the vault doors saved
greater loss to the bank.

The first counterfeit new 80 silver ser.

Chief of Secret Service Hazen says 1t is
very dangerous counterfeit. 1t is made

of pictures of the front and back of the

than the legal note. Between the pieces

Attempted the Lives of Three OF His
Wife's Family.
William III. Copp, crazed because OF the
estrangenent of his wife, tried Monday
at Chicago to exterminate the family OF
her venerable father, DR.. Andrew G. Ran
kin, prominent physician and war
comrade of Gen. Grant. In the fierce
duel Of the men, witnessed by trembling
and injured women of the household, the
father-in-law received razor slash
across his throat, making serious
wound. A bullet from the doctors re-
volver would have reached the madman,s
heart had it not been for the heavy folds
of reconciliation compact Copp Lad
brought IN his pocket for his wife to sign.
At dramatic pause in the conflict res
cuers broke through the locked doors and
saved Cops victims from further in
jury. Their assailant was locked up at
Woodlawn. The doctors wife and Mrs.
Paul Hermes, daughter, were severely
cut and bruised. Mrs. Copp was not at
home.

arrived late in5the afternoon, and with his
friend, Horace B. Dunbar, dined at the
residence of John r. Mclean. People
crowded the streets around the residence
and compelled Mr.. Bryan, as he went to
his carriage, to go through a brief season
of handshaking. Mr.. Bryan was driven
to the Pike Opera House. His reception
was one long, protracted, deafening roar
of enthusiasm. He said he was not there,
to speak, but to exhort. What he wanted
was organization and agitation until BIZ
metallism triumphed.

CAUTION TO FARMERS.
VILE WEEDS FOUND IN FOREIGN
SEEDS.
Pests introduced Through Foreign
Importations Thistles Come This
way-Every Year Witnesses Advent
of Additional Pests.
Farmers should Be Careful.


Words Of warning to American farmers
are given in a report on pure seed inyestl-
cations submitted to Secretary Wilson.
1t says thousands of pounds, probably
tons. of grass and clover seed are ship
ped annually into the United States which
contain all sorts of vile weed seeds. In
this way such pests as the Russian thistle,
Canada thistle, wild mustard, chess, dod-
der, wild daisy, trefoil and plantain were
introduced here A large amount of cheap
seeds, it is said, are now being sold as
novelties at fancy prices through manipu-
lation of the name, and the report says
that the German coffee berry,, when
many seedsmen are now advertising as
cheap substitute for coffee, is really the
common SOFA bean, which can be bought
cheaply almost anywhere. The lack OF
suitable places for impartial tests, by botn
the seed dealer and the buyer, has been
met in Europe for nearly fifty years py
the establishment of ''seed control sta
tions,' now numbering about lOO, and on
whose tests guarantees are based. Sew
eral experiment stations in this country
have taken this matter up, and recently
committee from them had conference
at the Agricultural Department concern
ing methods and apparatus. For three
years the department has been investi-
eating the quality of agricultural seeds.
Already this year over half a million of
individual seeds have been counted out
and tested, and small trial ground has
been started at Kensington, Md. Promi-
nent seedsmen, it is stated, frequently
sell five or six alleged different varieties
of an article out of the same bin. The
report urges careful selection by purchas-
ers, and says if good seed cannot be OBJ
tanned otherwise legislation will be nee
essary to shut out bad seeds. The report
says most of the imported seed could be
successfully raised here, opening new ave-
nues Of profit to American husbandmen,
and it particularly points out sugar beet
and hairy vetch seed as capable Of being
made an important industry.

city from Eastern points and the inme-

railroads were fairly swamped with bust
ness. The downtown ticket offices were
inundated with surging crowds of human
ity all day long. Veterans in railroad pas
senger traffic said they never before saw
anything like it. They declared the rush
to take advantage Of the low rates to the
Pacific coast was phenomenal. 1t is esti-
mated that at least | 200 Chicago ,esi-
dents left for the convention. The num-

through the city was fully 5000.

In the House of God,

One of the most sensational tragedies
ever enacted in north Texas took place in
the Methodist Episcopal Church IN Pleas
ant Valley. Dallas County, in the course
of the services Sunday. As result Au-
gustus Garrison and L rank Jones are
dead and Thomas Jones probably fatally
wounded. The Garrison and Jones fam
lilies are among the most prominent plant
ers in the section of Texas. They own
adjoining plantations and have been on
the best of social relations for many
years. Augustus Garrison was married
man and had a daughter 16 years old
named Lois. The Jones brothers were
single. Frank Jones for year or more
had been very partial in his attentions to
Garrison's daughter. Recently the girl
made serious charges against him. me
matter became neighborhood scandal IN
Pleasant Valley, and Garrison swore ne
would have the life of the betrayer of his
daughter. Mutual friends succeeded IN
keeping the men apart until Sunday, Wneh
the first meeting between them since the
scandal took place. Garrison and the
Jones family worship at the same church
Just as tie preacher had taken mas text
after pray err and the singing Of hymn,
Garrison, who had seat near the door,
stepped to the doorway, it is believed, TO
get some fresh air, as the atmosphere In
the building was oppressive. He had no
more than reached the doorway when the
congregation was startled by fuslliade
of pistol shots. Nearly a dozen were tired
in about as many seconds time. When
the firing ceased Augustus Garrison and
Frank Jones were lying dead in front Of
the church steps, and Thomas Jones was
stretched on the lawn near by, one hand
clasped ON his right thigh, and in his left
he had a pistol. His statement of the
shooting was brief and in substance that
he and his brother Frank were approach
ing the church door and were within ten
feet of it when Garrison appeared and
instantly drew his pistol. Frank Jones
was shot three times. once in the region
of the heart, once in the right side. and
once in the head. Garrison received but
one bullet, and that pierced his heart
Neither nan lived long enough to realize
his fate.
