ran, but Hitler discharged the second
barrel. The robber yelled aud stag

Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 14.-Sherifl
Waddington, assisted by John Schiek
OF this city has lodged in Jail two
comparatively young men, who are
believed to be the ones who attempt
ed to rob the Clatonia bank Monday
night.
Early Thursday morning two men
were seen to alight at Clatonia from
freight train from the west. The
attempt on the banks treasure still
was vivid in the minds of the towns
people, and the presence Of any
stranger was instantly noticeable so
from the moment the men stepped
from the train their movement was
scrutinized. After lettering about
the depot few moments the men
walked down the track and to the
point where the robbers had aband-
oned the horse and buggy Tuesday
morning. They then proceeded to a
point near where the gang had cross
ed the creek. For more than an hour
they were watched by Henry AlbeIts
and others who finally concluded
that the pair must know something
about the robbery and posse adj
vanced on them and took them in
custody.
Meanwhile search was made or
the surrounding premises where the
following articles were found. Two
long 44-Colts revolvers one-half pint
Of nitro-g lycIeine two files six skele-
ton keys quantity of fuse and caps.
The men were taken up town and
while no violence was offered them
about every man woman and child
In the town and surrounding country
stood guard over them armed with
some kind Of weapon.
The suspects pleaded innosence
and said they were In Horton Kan
sas Monday night. kilograms were
sent people there whom they claimed
to know but the responses were not
at all satisfactory. When the sher-
if reached Clatonia about CLOCK
this afternoon the men were Ia the
rear Of saloon which was guarded
by fully one hundred armed residents.
The men had money and spent 1t
freely. They talked about Banker
Chamberlain and using him for COM
parison spoke disparagingly of all
bankers and displayed an acquain-
tance with names Of prominent peo-
pie and knowledge Of public affairs
which shows tLey are not strangers
to Nebraska. The Clatonia people
and the sheriff believes they have
got the right men, They are about
thirty years old each. When searched
here long thin file was found on one
OF them. They refuse ed to give any
names.
