BANDITS EvADE PICKET LINE
Desperadoes Surrounded on Island
Slip Through Gordon, Steal Horses
md Make Their Escape.

ATCHlSoN, Kan, Oct. 23.-Notwthstand-
ing the fact that fully 500 armed men sur
rounded the island between Atchison ana
Doniphan all last night, lhe two bandits
who Saturday night killed one man and
wounded another at Doniphan, and
duplicated this crime near here yesterday
while being pursued by posse, escaped be-
fore daylight. Last night escape seemed an
impossibility. 1t seems, however, that the
robbers crept through the line of guards
some time during the night, and stealing a
team of horses, which was found missing this
morning. made good their escape.
The body of Policeman Robert Dickerson,
who was killed near the log barricade made
by the robbers, was recovered about 3
o clock this morning. At the barricade this
morning were found an empty cartridge box
and vest, but nothing to lead to the
Identification sf the men. A pool of blood
showed that one of the robbers had been
badly wounded. Hundreds of men are
searching for the bandits today. The
bandits seem to have provided themselves
with plenty of ammunition and they are
cool and accurate in the use of their rifles.
Police have been on the watch for the
Doniphan bandits since 10 o'clock last night.
1t is believed from the brief description that
tho bandits are Jack" Holly and l.. Priest,
two of the three convicts who escaped from
Kansas State penitentiary August 3. They
were sent to the prison cemetery to dig a
grave and there overpowered the guard and
took his rifle.

MAILLEY FACES HIS AccUsERs.
Answers the Attack Made Upon Him
Iy the POpOcrRts.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 23-(Special
Telegram m)-One of the most enthusiastic
audiences that ever greeted public speaker
in this city welcomed Chaplain Mailley Of
the Fighting First Nebraska AS he entered
the hall each person was handed a printed
copy OF letter headed "Then and Now"
dated January 30, 1899, written by Chaplain
Mailley to Congressman Stark, protesting
against the annexation of the Philippine
islands and expressing views then held in
common by most Of the regiment relative
to Colonel Stotsenburg and his unpopu
larity.
This proved to be the first time that the
chaplain had been confronted with the afore-
said letter and some anxiety was enter
tanned as to the manner in which he would
meet It, All fears, however, were dispelled
when in opening his address he disNayed
the circular, calling attention to it's date,
acknowledged its authorship and confessed
to the views set forth therein as being
convictions entertained prior to the begin
ming of actual warfare He followed by
an eulogy of Colonel Stotsenburg, his SOL
dierly qualities, undaunted courage his un-
selfish devotion to the welfare of his men
and the position he was destined henceforth
to occupy in history and the hearts of his
countrymen, attaining climax when with
honest indignation he denounced a party
whose hopes of success seemed to lie in
| dragging from an honored grave the bones
of dead hero who fell at the head of his
command and in whose death the FRS
Nebraska was covered with glory and un-
| dying fame.

| though they were, l have been forgiving ant
merciful, but in this dastardly act, a last re
| sort of towards and miscreants, they hav,

In all Of this the candor manifested, tn,

the truth of his statements At the conclu

policy toward the islands.
Major DUNCAN followed along the same
lines. The American flag, which meant
liberty in the United States, he said, meant
slavery, bondage and vassalism under Nc

should 1t succeed would eventually mean
the same thing to the American people at
