NABs A a GANG.
Sheriff After a Desperate Battle, Cap.
lures Kansas Robbers,

After a desperate fight, lasting nearly
three hours, Sheriff Mackey of Salina
County, Kansas, and his posse Of five dep
uties made the most important capture OF
bank robbers that has been made in years.
The officers believe they have the gang
that has been causing so much trouble all
over the State, especially the western
part, within the past two months.
"Blackey Clark" one of the robbers, and
who is thought to be the most noted crook,
was fatally shot in the back, and others of
the gang were wounded. Deputy Sheriff
Lykens was hit in the arm by a bullet.
Each party was partially sheltered by
trees, and over 800 rounds of ammunition
were used. The battle took place in the
edge of the timber just out Of Salina,
where the robbers, who were mounted,
had been to purchase feed and ammuni-
ton. Sheriff Maclicy called to the rob-
bcrs to halt, but they returned his request
with Il volley which fellcd the sheriff's
horse. He got behind the dead animal
and the officers opened fire. "Blackcy
Clark" was the first one hit. and with a
Shrek he fell. His comrades, under a
hot fire, rushed out and brought him to Il
place of safety, where he lay until the rob-
bcrs finally surrendered.

The cruwning spectacular feature of the
weeks peace jubilee celebration in Chi

military and civil parade passed through
the streets of the business section, and
was reviewed from Il stand in front of the
Union League Club by the President,
Gems. Miles, Shaftcr and Chaffec. Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, the Chinese
and Corcan ministers and other digni-
tarics.
s The weather was very disagreeable,
threatening rain at any moment, with n
cutting wind from the lake, which chilled
the sightsccrs not extra warmly clothed.
But these things seemed to have no effect
on the numbers and enthusiasm of the
throngs which packed the sidewalks
throughout the entire line of march, filled
the numerous stands and every available
point OF view from the windows and roofs
OF tall buildings on either side. a wave of
cheers greeted the marchers in line, par
ticularly the military part of it, and more
peculiarly the soldiers and sailors returned
from Cuba.
ut o O'Clock in the morning the police
hustled every vehicle off the streets, in
Guiding the street cars, in the entire dis
trict between Van Buren, street on the
south and the river on the north, the lake
on the east and the river on the west, and
they were kept off till the parade was
over.
The storm Of the previous three days
had marred the decorations. but they were
mostly restored and the entire district was
ablaze with bunting. 1t is estimated that
thirty thousand men were in line.

WHEAT Is IN DANGER,

Manitoba Threatens to Destroy the
Entire Unthraslicd Crop-Northwcst
Farmers Are in Despair.

Reports from the wheat fields of North
Dakota and Manitoba are of the most dis
couraging character. 1t has been either
raining or showing for min days. In
Manitoba only about 10000 0 bushels OF
wheat of Il crop of 26,000,0 900 bushels has
been thrashed, and the balance, standing
in stacks and shocks. is threatened with
destruction. Farmers almost despair of
saving the balance of these crops. The
barley and oat crops are also all out i'll the
fields.
The rain and snow throughout the Rcd
river valley and North Dakota caught
many of the farmers With their grain I'M
thrashcd, and the present prospect is that
much of it will remain in the stack until
spring. This is especially the case i'll The
interior townships and localities at Il dis.
tance from the railways and villages. Just
what the loss will be it is impossible to
estimate, but it is safe to say thai the
greater portion of that which remains in
the shock throughout the winter will be OF
little value except for fodder.
Samples of wheat brought to MinMeapo-
lis which had been exposed to the rain
were so thoroughly blcached and swollen
as to resemble the Washington and Ore
gon product. Such grain will have to he
dried out and cleaned before lis value can
be determined. The estimates on the
number of bushels thus affected in Maui
toba is 100000. On the same basis TO-.
100000 10 l5.000.00O bushels would be
damaged in the Red river valley and North
Dakota, and the total loss may amount to
several million dollars.
The bad weather has very materially af.
fccted the general movement of the crop.
Farmers are unable to come to market,
and the elevator men cannot handle the
crop cSpcditiously. Many OF the mills in
the Northwest are running day and night,
and the stock on hand has been considera-
bly, reduced. All in all the Northwestern
crop has largely dctcriorated from the
early estimates.
