THEIR BAYONETS FIXED
OHIO MILITIA COMPANY CHAsEs
BANK BURGLARS
Criminals Are Supposed to Be Com
ceaIed in Patch OF Woods Now
Surrounded by the
Soldiers.

MlLLERSBURG, Ohio. Aug 14-Com-
pany l, Eighth regiment, Ohio National
Guard, was called out today to assist
In the capture of the men who tried
10 rob the Adams bank early this morn
ing, The robbers are supposed to be in
a dense thicket near this city.
The burglars were discovered at work
about o'clock by Mrs. Dial Shoup who
lives in the rear of the bank building.
Her attention was attracted by the noise
of falling glass. She hurriedly dressed,
and in going out a side door to summon
assistance, saw the burglars at work on
the vault inclosing the safe.
When she returned with re.nforcements
the robbers had disappeared, a picket on
duty near the building having sounded
the alarm during her absence. Near the
town they stole two horses and two
buggies from James Uhl, farmer, and
continued their flight. Telephone mes
sages were sent to nearby towns, and in
a short time almost the entire population
OF the county was out bandit hunting
About O'Clock a message came that
the rigs had been found in the woods in
the next township fifteen miles west of
here, and the thieves had hid in the
woods for the day.
In the excitement which followed some
one called out the loca! company Of
militia. 1t is not known who was re-
SpOLSlple lot the call, put the company
ager of Senator Clark's Unietd Verde
the way to the woods, followed by 400
or 500 citizens armed with every con-
ceivable weapon. Sergeant Jordan and
Marshal Alberton commanded the citi-
zen soIdiery.
When the crowd arrived at the woods
rumor spread that the bandits were
heavily armed This led the leaders
quickly to the conclusion that it would
be a strategic move to wait until the
robbers came out, instead Of going after
them.
Accordingly the wood were surrounded
by armed citizens and euardsmen, They
remained on duty all ~ afternoon, and
received large achievements toward
evening on the strength of a prediction
made by one of the militiamen that the
bandits would wait until after dark be-
fore making a dash for liberty. The
watch was kept up all night.

the state Democratic organization for his

The most notable incident of the day
was the lack of applause which greeted
Hon. FL. R. Pollard of Richmond, when
he said: free silver is a dead issue 1t
met its Gettysburg in 1886 and its Water

journed Immediately amid great con-
fusion without having begun the con-
test for attorney general and without
having received the report of the com
mittee on resolutions. The time of ad-
journment was 1915 a. m.
The platform of the party, whilenot yet
presented, will embrace an antitrust
plank, a plank favoring the fellow
servants or employers liability bill and
a serious discussion in regard to general
primaries for the election of United
States senators. So far as is known at
this writing there will be no mention of
Bryan or free silver in the platform.

Thus far there are only four criminal
cases on the calendar, the unfortunates

accused of passing counterfeit money.
Among the civil cases to come up is
that of Hans B. Strand against Thomas

swindling him out of $4,000 in a transac-
ton, whereby he was induced to trade
several tracts of land sin Washington

court for the arrest of an offender who
resides in a distant part of the state.

in no information. One of the deputy
marshals left for the country last night,
and it is presumed that he has gone to
serve the warrant.

HELD UP ON A TRAIN
FIVE MEN ROB THIRTY HARVEST
HANDS ON MILWAUKEE,
FREIGHT
THREATENED WITH REVOLVER
work Was Done systematically
Between La Crosse and HAST
ings-0ne of the Victims
Ray Beaten.

A bold hold-up took place early yester-
day morning on Freight Train No. So of
the Milwaukee road, near Hastings,
Mimi number of harvest hands, who
were stealing a ride on fiat cars, were
robbed of everything they had. The
bandits, five in number We're all mask
ed, and secured about SIS, three watches
and a half a dozen razors.
Armed with revolvers, they proceeded
to rob the thirty or forty harvest hands,
one at a time and showed them into q
box car as fast as they had been search
ed. Not man dared to resist, as the
robbers threatened their victims with in
slant death if they as much as moved.
Those who We're in the rear cars, who
had already been robbed, were too fright
ened to say a word. The work of the
bandits was done so systematically that
not even the fireman or engineer knew
that anything unusual was going on.
The job of searching all the men on
the train took nearly two hours, and was
not completed until after the train had
pulled out of Hastings
Most of the laborersi who were robbed
got off the train at Hastings, while the
robbers are supposed to have come on to
St. Paul. Chief O'Connor was notified
by the chief of police at Hastings of
the robbery but up to a late hour last
night the thieves had not been appre-
hended.
The victims were all residents of Wis
cCnsln points with the exception of one
man, who was from Chicago. During
the progress of the robbery one of the
men resisted somewhat, but the robbers
quickly subdued him by hitting him on
the head with the butt of a revolver.
This man was still unconscious when the
train reached Hastings.
Several of the other men were also
rather roughly used and were more or
less bruised.
The robbers boarded the train shortly
after it had passed out of the yard
limits at La Crosse, Wis. A baggage car
was attached to the extreme rear end
of the train and during all the time that
the robbery avs taking place tne train
crew was asleep in this car.
Yesterday morning Sergeant Andy Call
and Patrolman Murphy arrested four
men near the union depot, who were sus-
pected of being implicated in the hold-up
The men claimed they We're from Spoon
er, Wis, and in the employ of the
Northwestern line. James Swanson and
Joseph Swanson, two of the victims
came to st. Paul yesterday afternoon,
but on looking over the suspects stated
that they were not the men wanted, with
the result that the suspects were given
their liberty.
The nold-up was one of the most daring
perpeuated in this part of the country
for some time, and was very cleverly
executed

Whereas, AS a mark of tribute and
appreciation of the public services of Dr.
Justus Ohage, move was inaugurated
by many Of our prominent citizens and
advocated by the public press of the city
by which the name of Harriet island
was to be changed to Ohage island
And whereas, The name of Harriet was
given to said island in honor of and as
tribute to Harriet E. Bishop, pioneer
of this city.
And whereas, AS soon as DR.. Ohage
was made cognizant of the facts con-
corning the naming and purpose of nam
ing said island, he promptly and emphat-
1cally refused to permit his name to
be used for the purpose proposed
And whereas, One of the purposes of
this association is to protect the inter-
ests, landmarks and associations Of the
period covered by the times of our
fathers, the pioneers of the city
Now therefore, Resolved, that as an
evidence of our appreciation of DR..
Ohage's act we tender him our sincere
and heartfelt thanks, and assure him
that he struck tender chord in the
heart of every member of this associa-
ton.

CUBA'S CONVENTION.
Delegates WrestIe with Question
of Minority representation.

OF Minority Representation.
HAVANA, Aug. 1.-THE constitutional
convention met today and discussed the
question Of the representation Of min
GRITTY in the election of a president of
the republic. Juan Gualberto Gomez con-
tended that without minority representa-
ton large portion of each province
would not be represented in the electoral
college and the effect of this might he
to falsify elections
1t was finally decided that Havana
should elect q presidential electors: Santa
Clara, IS; Santiago, IS; Matanzas. l.;
PInar del Rio, II, and Puerto Principe 6.
OF these the minorities in the six prov
iuces in the order named shall have
respectively T. Z. 6, T. 4 and 3. The cleo
tors will not meet in Santa Clara, as
originally proposed, but will meet in the
capitals Of the different provinces, where
the votes will be cast, the result being
forwarded to Havana
A proposal that the convention should
intervene in the election of a president
III case the latter was not elected by an
absolute majority of the presidential cleo
tors was rejected. Senior Sanguilly said
the convention was not elected to trans
fer the care of the country to the new
government, and the provision for the
election of officers by the people did not
imply either revisionary or supervisory
powers.
