ROBBERS CREATE HAVOC.
Wreck and Rob n Savings hank at
SheIdahI, IOwn-EscaPe
with 81 600.

Des Moines, Ia, June 1.-The saw
from here, was blown up by four rob
bers at night, who secured 1900 and
escaped, after holding 50 or more cit
liens at bay with rifles.
Shortly after midnight terrific ex-
plosion shook the town and imme-
diately the inhabitants turned out to
learn the cause. A glance up the
main street showed the building of the
savings bank to be in ruins and the
timbers burning. Fifty citizens
rushed to the scene, to be met by the
cleaning barrels of two rifles in the
hands of two strangers, who ordered
the citizens to halt. AS the ruins
burned brighter two other strangers
were deserted looting the wrecked
safe. The crowd of citizens had
brought no weapons. and the two rob-
bers on guard threatened death to
the man who moved from his tracks,
so the helpless denizens OF Sheldahl
were compelled to witness the rob
berry of their savings without lifting
a hand in remonstrance.
When the two robbers who were
looting the safe decided they had Sc
cured all the money available, they
joined their two confederates and
with leveled rifles the four marauders
lined up the band of citizens who
stood with hands held high as or
dered until the four robbers had
backed away into the darkness
and fed. The bank building
is total wreck, the loss be-
ing estimated at $4,000, and added to
this is the $1,000 secured by the rob-
beers. No trace of the robbers has
hern discovered.

WAR ON WOMEN.
81. Louis Mob Maitreats a Young Lady
for Riding ON street Car
GIofhtng Torn on.

st. Louis, june 4.-Christine There,
Is years old, Sunday was set upon by
a crowd of about 1900 men simply be-
cause she had ridden on ear of the
st. Louis Transit company. She was
on the way to spend the day with her
mother. She is servant. The dis
tance was too far to walk and get
back to her employers by night. She
took a street car When she alghed
at Ninth street and Geyer avenue at
five p IN. from a Cherokee car she was
approached by young man who
called her '.scab." Others joined in
the chorus. There was a Kissing and
hooting which grew into perfect
storm as the mob closed in about her.
young man tore off her jacket and
another her hat. She was struck by
the fists of men and bruised about the
face and body. A pocket book which
she carried in her hand was snatched
away and the money taken.
The young woman begged piteously
for mercy and a big fist struck her in
the mouth. She pleaded that she was
working girl but this had no effect
to stem the blows. Piece by piece her
clothing was torn away until she was
nude. She fled from the bowling mob
of men and finally ran to house on
the corner. She appealed for ADMIT
tance, but the people were afraid the
mob would tear down the house, and
refused her admittance. She went to
the place next door, but no one came.
She reached an alley and ran down 1t,
followed by the hooting men. There
was a little window leading into Gel
lar. She broke the glass and jumped
in and covered ina corner in the dark
ness. Finally her prosecutors went
away. Then she called for help and
received it, finally being taken to her
employers in Dalmar boulevard.
At 1916 South Twelfth street another
incident of the same kind occurred.
Stella Frederick got off car only to
be assailed and booted by a mob. Her
jacket was torn from her by men. She
ran down an alley and into the home
of Mrs. Folke, and the mob surrounded
the house and began throwing stones
through the windows Mrs. Folke got
big revolver and opened fire on the
mob from her front window and the
men scattered.

tured During the War.

Washington. June secretary Root
made answer TO the senate resolution
inquiring as to the number of Filipinos
killed and wounded and the number of
prisoners taken since the instruction
began. Having no detailed informa-
tion on the subject, the secretary
cabled the inquiry TO Gen. Macarthur,
commanding at Manila, and received
the following response. which was sub
mitted 10 congress:
Manila June T. 1900.-Adjutant Gener-
al. Washington: With reference to your
telegram of 22d ultimo, Filpinos. killed.
10.780: wounded 2l04: captured and sur
rendered 10. i24: number prisoners in our
possession about 1000 No systematic
record of Filipino casualties at these
headquarters. Foregoing compiled from
large number of reports made immedi-
ately after engagements is as close an
approximation as is now possible. owing
to wide distribution of troops. More ac-
curate report would take weeks to pre-
pare Number reported killed probably in
excess of accurate figures. number re
ported wounded probably much less. as
Fiipinos managed to remove most of their
wounded from field, and comparatively
few fell into our hands. officers of high
rank and dangerous and suspicious men
have been retained as prisoners, most
other men discharged on field as soon as
disarmed. Purpose to release all but
very few prisoners at early date.

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE.
II Wipes Out Wisconsin Family
Consisting of Six Persons
Four Killed In Ohio.

Milwaukee, June 1. - A Sentinel
special from Brillion, Wis. says six
persons were killed by an explosion
of dynamite in the home of William
Broehm. at Forest Junction, about
eight miles from Brillion. at an early
hour Thursday. The dead are: Will
liam Broehm, Mrs. William Broehm,
three children of Mr.. and Mrs. Broehm,
ages ranging from two to seven years;
II. Stevens, brother of Mrs. Broehm.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. The superstition is that about
- pounds of the deadly explosive was
too near the stove. and became over
heated and exploded. No one was left
to tell how the accident occurred as
every occupant of the house was killed.
Marietta, o., June AT Whipple,
