BANK ROBBERY.


Sheridan, No.
SHERIDAN. Mo-, Feb. 16.-At . a. m.
burglars robbed the Farmers bank of
this city of s.. 400 in gold and silver,
and $500 in drafts and securities and
escaped.
With dynamite the burglars shat
tered the time-lock safe and secured it's
contents. The explosion of the dvna-
mite damaged the bank building to the
extent of several hundred dollars. All
the windows were broken and the
vault cracked.
The noise made by the burglars
awoke persons living near but the
burglars were not molested and es-
capped by taking a handcar north to-
wards the Iowa line. They left the
track two miles south of Blockton and,
it is supposed, struck u across the
country.
The theft of the money does not cause
the bank any inconvenience, and it's
doors are open and its officers doing bus
mess as usual.

4 Sample Dealt Out From the British
Rench Lord VIM. Neville Given Five
Years-He Pleaded Guilty of Fraud at the
Old ~Bailey-Judge Lawrence Gave Him 3
Severe Lecture Before Proceeding to Pass
Sentence.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-In the Central
criminal court Lord VIM. Neville, who
was placed on trial, charged with
Sam Lewis, the money lender,
against Lieut.. Spencer-Clay, to
GLIB due on two promissory notes
cashed by Lord Nevill, pleaded guilty
of fraud, but claimed he was not guilty
of forgery. He was sentenced to five
years penal s%ervitude.
After the hutter caused by his plead
ing guilty of fraud had subsidized, the
prisoner was allowed to take a seat in
the dock, as he is recovering from a Sc
riOus illness.
Prosecutor Matthews narrated the
circumstances of the fraud, as already
known, and at the conclusion of his
remarks he intimated that he would ac-
cept the prisoners plea as satisfying
tine demands of justice.
Mr.. Lawson Walton pointed out that
Lord Neville had voluntarily come for
ward to face the consequence of his de-
ception and had fully confessed. The
prisoner, counsel added, was in great
financial difficulties, and had not real
lied that he was committing a breach
of the criminal law. The prisoner, Mr..
Walton further said. never intended
that Lieut.. Clay should suffer. He be-
liered the securities would remain in
the hands of Mr.. Sam Lewis until he
secured money elsewhere.
Judge Lawrence summed up Sternly
but with a voice which shook, and at
times almost broke with emotion. The
judge said: In my opinion the crime is
as great as though ne had abStracteG
the sum from Lieut.. Clay's pocket, or
had burglarized Mr.. Lewis Office and
had stolen it. If it had been soma
wretched clerk, with a wife and
seven children, who had incurred
a heavy loss, and had helped him
self at his masters till, L ana
afraid there would nave been no one
to speak in extenuation; but the high
er position the person holds, the high
er his responsibilities.
Il am sorry to say l have looked ia
vain for ~extenuating circumstances. Il
is as bad d case of fraud as it is
possible to conceive. You have
brought shame and dishonOr upon
an ancient and noble family, and
sorrow and suffering upon your near
est and dearest. Your crime is great,
and your sentence must be severe. 1t
is that you be kept in penal servitude
Cor five years"
The prisoner was hurried off to New
gate prison, where he was allowed an
interview with his wife and another
lady. After the interview Lord
Neville was removed to Norwood
ScrubbS prison.
