BOLD BANK ROBBERS.
Citizens, Hound and Gagged. witness
Their Work at RicbfCrd. Vt.

Their WORK AT w.
Richford, VT, Nov. Three men blew
open the vault TO the Richford Savings
Bank and Trust Company yesterday morn
ing and. while they only succeeded III Sc
curing $500 ii stamps, they escaped de-
lection by capturing two passers-6y ana
holding them prisoners until they had
made five unsuccessful attempts to open
the inner safe. which contained large
sum.
The thieves were discovered by W. p
Greens. who was passing the bank build
ing and heard a suspicious noise Greens
went up to the window and peered into
rhe bankfng-rooms but before he realized
what was going on he was seized by
two of the men and dragged INTO the
building. gag was quickly placed in his
mouth and then he was bound hand ana
foot TO a chair while one of the thieves
stood over him with a drawn revolver.
Scarcely had the work of securing
Greens been completed when the thieves
| discovered another citizen gazing IN
through the window. The second man
proved to be James Taylor. and with
| the same rapidity he was also pounced
| upon. gagged and bound to chair be-
| side Green's
The attempt on the inner safe, Whlch
| had been interrupted by Greens and
| Taylor, was resumed, and five charges
| of fine gunpowder We're blown into the
cracks of the safe and ignited, but stih
| the steel withstood. The two prisoners
| in the chairs saw every part of the
| proceedings. but were powerless to in
| terfere.
| 1t was an hour or more before the
| thieves gave up their attempt on the
stout little inner safe. and were obliged
TO be satisfied with the contents of the
weaker boxes. which contained only
postage and revenue stamps. All three
then departed noiselessly and drove out
of town in a carriage, going toward the
| Canadian border.
Greens and Taylor finally liberated
themselves and gave the alarm. !

WILD MAN RESUMES BUSINESS.
His Appearance mt Wfnsted This
Time for Political Purposes.

Time for Political Purposes.
Winsted, Conn.,, Nov. THE wild man
has broken loose again. He is said to be
hurdling madly over northwestern Con-
necticut, soaring people out Of years
growth
The Winsted wild man has grown gray
In the service. He has been professional
bugaboo for years, and hard working
conscientious one. Not one reflection
upon his character has ever been made
until now.
But 1t has shown that no mans char
acter is above accusation. James p.
Glynn says there is no wild man. that he
is myth that has been practicing upon
the credulity of the people.
He gives that out straight as his opin-
ion But he hedges. He says that if there
is wild man he isn'l doing business this
year, and that the yarn was started by
Democratic cam.~A.gn managers who
hope to frighten voters into staying at
home on election day.
But" says McGlynn, who Is the tow-l
committeeman. the bluff will not work.
There are twenty Republicans living n
the neighborhood where the wild man is
said to have his lair: We will see that
they are protected. We, will carry the
voters to the polls in, carriages and under
the protection of armed men. We wi
leave men to guard their homes While
they are away. ~
On the other hand, the Democrats jeer
at McGlynn. They intimate that man
who would cast reflections upon Wild
| man, even going TO the extent OF dec1af-
ing that he has no real existence Is
| bound to suffer from it. The Demcc at :
are firmly of the conviction that tae WHO
man is doing business at the same old
stand and that he has grown wilder ana
tiercer than ever. The majority OF peo-
pie agree with them.
John c. Hall, who drives the overland
| stage from Sandisieid. Mass, to Nin'
| sted. has seen the Wild man twice. fre J.
| erick French has seen him once ia
| saws that The horses were thrown lntp d
wild fright when they saw the WIG man
His matted hair and long beard, MS ioh=
fur overeoat and blue overalls and TN
rags tied around his neck made him
! most uncanny spectacle.
| When Hall saw him he appeared 10 p'
| trying TO hide something in his bosom
The wild man was seen near Coleprooh
| and the neighborhood is much alarmed
He Is now said TO be as terrible as th'
famous burbling Bandersnatch "H'
roamed in the tolgy wood.

that no one was seriously hurt.

in the back of the building abutting in
Thirteenth Street was crowded. George
II. Huber, the proprietor of the place, es-
timated that there were 1000 persons in
the theater and about 400 in the museum,
which is on the upper floors, at the time.

ed on stand in the back of the audito
rum, and under the low paper-covered
ceiling, which forms the floor OF the bal
cony.
George Van Clark. who operated the
machine, had just thrown the first picture
on the screen when there was d slight re-
port binding fash and the films caught
iire and the auditorium field with smoke
Some one shouted Fire and immediate
~ there was d panic.
Men and women rushed for the exits
opening in Thirteenth Street. On the
Fourteenth Street side the only exit was
through long. narrow passage, and at
the entrance to this a crowd fought Wild
y for Il few minutes
The majority attempted to escape to
Thirteenth Street, but they found the
doors locked. The weight of the crowd
however, burst them, and the street was
rapidly filled with fuintinS women and
panic-stricken men
Those who could not reach the Dor
climbed to the windows on the gr und
floor, tore them from the sashes and
climbed TO safety through them.
In the gallery the panic was even
| worse The blaze from the burning films
| set fire TO the paper-covered ceiling and
| the smoke pouring UP under their ieet
| caused the persons there 10 believe that
serious fire was in progress. They made
! 4 rush for the windows and i'll few
| seconds the fire escape balcony was SO
! crowded that the police. fearing it would
! fall, called to those on il To go back. Al
