the Bee from Deadwood, s. D., says,
Four masked men Monday morning
made desperate attempt to rob the
Butte County bank at Belle Fourche.
Entering the bank with revolvers drawn
they ordered the customers present
and bank officials to hold up their hands.
A little hesitancy on the part of Cash
Ter Marble drew shot from the gun Of
one OF the robbers, which clipped Off
large portion of the cashiers right ear
and enforced compliance with the de-
mand. The safe and counters were re-
ieved of the cash they contained and
the robbers, mounting their horses.
which had been conveniently stationed,
rode away. An alarm was Immediately
given and In few minutes a we'll
mounted and armed posse was In pur-
suit of the robbers. Within few miles
from town the posse came up
with the fugitives and running
fight ensued which resulted in
one Of the robbers throwing up
his hands and surrendering. The
others being better mounted, continued
tueal u!BAt, Dut afe now Delng clOSely
pursued and have very few chances Of
escaping. The day was favorable for a
raid on the bank, MS the weather was
such that it kept the townspeople Off
the street, and the robbers had little
opposition and had quite start before
the alarm could be given.
A later dispatch says that in the fight
with the bandits Walter Gay, of Gay &
Sons, was shot through the cheek, re-
ceiving painful wound. The outlaws
fred right and left while riding out OF
the town, but no one else was wounded.
Thomas Day, the captured robber, was
,overhauled half a mile from town and
's now In Jail at Deadwood. He is a
stranger In the vicinity. The rest of
,the gang are now at bay i'll the ThreeV
ranch, a few miles from Belle Fourche,
where they will likely be captured or
killed. 1t transpires that less than SIS

Arthur 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

New York, juno 26.-The Mississippi
river commission resumed its session
in this city Friday. There was not al
large attendance as there was Thurst
day. The Arst delegate to address the
board was ]. NJ. Whitehill, of Arkansas
City, Ark, representing the Desha dis.
trict. MIR. Whitehill merely pointed
out the merits Of the levee system.
w. P. Halliday, delegate from Arkan-
to the complete success of levees is in1
filtration, and said that the cause of in-
filtration is imperfect foundations. He
urged the necessity for more attention
being paid to the stability of founda-
tions.
This measure of protection to the
residents along the Mississippi river il
demanded not alone by considerations
of humanity, but OF public interest as
well. II these fertile valleys were pro-
tected or reclaimed they become
richly productive they rise in value,
and just a. thoy rise in value the
value of the country ia increased and
the revenue of the government is aug
mented.
Addresses similar IN tenor were made
BY William 8. Leavell, Congressman
Baird. Van s. Williams and others from
Louisiana. Henry B. Richardson, of the
Louisiana state board of engineers,
presented an estimate to the commits
sion OF the necessary levee improves
ments along the line of the Mississippi
river for res miles. His estimate is as
follows.
For repairs to levees damaged by tho
floods, b,6+S,boo cubic yards of earth;
Tor improvements of lcvees and raising
of those necessary to be raised by the
great rise of water, 1s,429,5oo cubic
yards of earth; for Blanquettes, $780,
600 cubic yards Of earth; for extension
OF levees, 100000 cubic yards of earth,
the grand total of Mr.. Richardson's figs
ures is over 3a,ooo,o0o yards of earth,
After Mr.. Richardson had spoken there
were no more speakers and the commisl
sion went into executive session. The
board already has written report, but
IT will be gono over and such changes al
may be deemed necessary made. The
apportionment will probably be decided
