Smooth Young Men Secure $4,000 From
a Louisville Bank. i
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 8.-The Ger
man Insurance bank of this city was
victimized out of $4,000 Monday after
noon by two well dressed young men,
who worked neat game. just before
the hour for closing the bank the as
sistant cashier Of the German Insurance
bank was rung up by telephone and
asked if he could accommodate the
Citizens National bank with $4,000 in
currency. On being answered in the
affirmative the inquiring party said he
would send two men around to get the
money. Shortly afterward two young
men appeared at the bank with a check
for $4,000 bearing the supposed sigma
ture Of the cashier of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. The money was paid over
and when the check reached the clear
ing house it was discovered to be a
forgery. 3" . a5if9l-

General Wilson Will Use $25, 1000 in Ma

HAVANA, June S.-The agricultural
board Of Matanzas has submitted plan
for the distribution of the $25, 900 which
General Wilson, military governor of
the Matanzas.S Santa Clara department,
has appropriated to relieve small farm
ers. The scheme proposes an allot-
ment of 800 as expenses for five months
and of $25 for building a house. It
would allot also pillow, yoke, a ma
chete, a pair of oxen, dozen hens, a
COW and SOW. This experiment will
be watched with considerable interest,
although the impression prevails among
many Cubans and Americans that
those who do not share in the allotment
will make trouble.
Advices from Lieutenant Colonies
Randall and Bisbo show that the work
OF paying off the Cuban troops is pro-
ceeding without special interest, the
applicants waiting their turn patiently.

for carrying on the discussion in the

Missouri Republicans Make a Demand
on Merriam.
WASHINGTON, June S.-A Missouri
delegation appointed by the state Re-
publican committee called on the presi-
dent and Director Merriam of the cen
sus bureau and protested against the
method Of apportioning the census su-
pervisors for Missouri equally among
Democrats and Republicans. Director
Merriam assured them the method of
apportioning the census supervisors met
the approval of the Republican con-
gress and the Missouri delegation, and
that as all the arrangements had been
made he declined to change them.
The delegation afterward called on
the president and at long conference
with him, with Director Merriam pres
ent, renewed their protest, but it is I'M
derstood there will be no change in the
plan originally made. The Missouri
delegation, nevertheless, will prepare a
full schedule Of 10 Repu blican names,
embracing all the districts in the state,
and will insist on their appointment.

attorney Of the Delaware Corporation

that quart of the liquified air placed

THE SHERIFF DEAD.

Wyoming Posse Fights Desperate Bat
tie With Union Pacific Robbers. r
CHEYENNE, wy, June S.-A second
battle with the dynamiters of the
Union Pacific express train has been
fought in the mountains 40 miles north
of Casper by the sheriff's posse which
has been in pursuit since Sunday
morning, and as result one man and
probably more lie dead. The first bat
tie was fought Sunday on Tea Pot
creek, three miles north of Casper. No
one was wounded during this engage
ment, but several horses were killed.
The second battle was fought Mon
day evening at point 10 miles farther
north and in wilder country. The
robbers. being closely pressed, made a
determined stand behind some rocks in
in deep ravine and when the posse
put in an appearance -.
e. Opened Fire at Close Range.
Sheriff Joe Hazen of Douglas, wy, fell
at the first fire., being shot through the
stomach. He died later. The posse re-
sumed the fight and was successful in
short time in driving the robbers from
their stronghold and away from their
their horses, which were secured. The
robbers retreated to a natural fort
among the rocks some two miles away,
where they entrenched themselves and
prepared for bitter fight. The posse
quietly divided up and surrounded the
place and when the courier left the
scene the officers were lying on their
arms with the robbers completely
hemmed in. =" +@' ..a-.: -: : x.

& New YORK, June s. The great in
terest taken in the Fitzsimm ons-J fries
fight is shown by the sale Of seats. At
a recent auction sale Of boxes every box
was sold, bringing 1921, 900. One box
was sold afterwards by a speculator to
party Of Wall street men for $3.50.
The directors of the Coney Island
Sporting club met and added IS new
boxes, nearly all Of which have already
been sold for a good round sum.
The $15 seats have been literally pur-
chased, while hardly any Of the $40
seats are left, at least six rows having
been sold. The demand exceeds that
even for the Sharkey-Maher, Corbett-
Sharkey, or McCoy-Sharkey fights.
At a rough estimate the Coney Island
club has sold $4,000 worth of seats.
The prices of tickets are S., $40, $15,
$40 and $s5, and the total seating
capacity STA. If all are sold the pro-
ceeds will DO nearly $50, 900. *E@.s. T. h, y
