Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 28.-The bold

Night Watchman Erskine dsscoveraS
four men approaching the bank at
O'Clock One of the men cornerea
him and kept him covered with a RI
fie for three hours, while another broke
open "a door of the bank and worked
on the safe. The other two men pa
trolted the street, and by system oi
signals were able to hold at bay a
dentist, a physician and two or three
other citizens who we're attracted to
the scene. Five dynamite shots were
fired by the man in the bank before
he succeeded in getting at the cash
box.
The sum secured was mostly silver
although it included a quantity of cur
rency. At o'clock the four men left
the bank and disappeared in an easter

shots to terrify those who had seen
them and shooting through "a door il
an effort to hit Erskfne, who had open

Autopsy Held over w. 3. schuri

Lebanon, Pa, Oct. 28.-Coroner
Schultz, assisted by Drs. Light and
Strohm, held an autopsy on the re.
mains of William B. Schuri, the
wealthy farmer who was found dead in
his orchard on Sunday evening. The
autopsy revealed the fact that Schuri
was shot twice in the face. Neither
bullet, however, caused death, and
he was apparently dubbed to death II
has developed that Schuri had a large
sum of money in his possession when
he left Lebanon last week for his
home, but his pockets were empty
when the body was found. No ar,
rests have as yet been made.

Mr.. 4. b. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base Of
operations was being constantly changed and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work conducted much in water
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and 1 determined to give the
medicine a trial. [ procured 1t, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for Duty and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.
