SOUTH McALESTER, 1. T., Dec q.
A gang of five bank robbers looted
the bank in Kiowa, a small town six
teen miles north Of here, at o'clock
this morning and escaped after several
hundred shots had been exchanged be-
tween the robbers and a posse of fifty
citizens CT Kiowa.
The robbers dynamted the safe and
secured about $500 in cash, some of
which is believed to have been mutt
lated oy the explosion. The bank
building was partially wrecked, the
damage to the building being about
$500
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use OF crowbars through a rear
window. While two of the men did the
work of blowing the safe, three stayed
outside as guards. The first explosion
was failure, making a loud report
but doing little damage. The citizens
heard the noise and, arming themselves
with revolvers and shotguns, hurried to
the bank. At the command of leader
of the citizens volley was fired at the
robbers, who were visible through the
shutters. The fire was returned by the
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked, the three men on the outside
kept up a steady fire with the posse
Of citizens. 1t took three explosions to
open the safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up their tools and, leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away in the dark. The posse followed
the gang for a distance but lost the
trail While some of the citizens be-
lieved one robber was injured. not one
of the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire Of the
robbers by stock pens in the rear OF
the bank building.
A posse of United States marshals is
in pursuit with little chance of imme-
diate results. as the men had several
hours start.

OREGON CITY, Or, Dec. 27.--The

DIXIE READY To SAIL.
Cargo Indicates That Long Campaign
on Isthmus Is Expected.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-The
Sunday stiffness at the League Island
Navy Yard was broken to-day by the
hurried fitting out of the cruiser Dixie
for her trip to Colon, and tonight the
trim little vessel lies in Delaware
River, ready to sail tomorrow morn
ing. The activity at the yard resem-
bled much the busy scenes there be-
fore the Spanish-American war. Brig
adler General Elliott, commanding the
marine corps, and who is going to the
isthmus on the Dixie, arrived in the
afternoon. Three companies of ma
rines-one from Boston and the
others from Washington-also ar
rived. They were marched to the bar
racks and later were sent on board the
cruiser. Altogether the Dixie will
take south 500 marines, who will be
under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Waller.
The work of loading the cruiser
continued until last midnight and was
completed this afternoon. The guam
tity and character of her cargo indi-
cate that the Government expects a
long campaign at Panama. Her holds
and decks are crowded to the limit
with stores. Besides the regular
stores and other outfit for the marines
on board and those now at the 18TH
wagonloads of small-arm ammunition,

The remains of the late Kow Kan
Gouey, vice president of the Chez Kong
Tong, or Chinese Free Masons, were
laid 10 rest yesterday afternoon with
Oriental ceremonies befitting a man
OF his rank. The funeral services were
Of an elaborate character and were par
ticipated in by thousands of Chinese,
many Of whom came from distant
places to pay homage TO a man whose
name was familiar TO every Chinaman
from Maine TO California.
For thirty days the corpse of Kow
Kan Gouey lay in state at the head
quarters Of the powerful association
in Spofford alley. During that time
thousands Of his countrymen viewed
his remains, and music was played at
his casket and punks We're burned
there day and night, so that the indu-
ences of the evil spirit might be ban
ished forever.

ago at the age Of Il years. His life

when he was called by death. his loss
was felt throughout the length and
breadth Of the land.
It is the custom of the Chinese to do
great honor TO their dead. and when
the news Of the demise Of Kow was
spread over the country many of the
prominent MasOns in the larger cities
signified their intention of attending
the funeral services. 1t was impossible
for them to make the long trip at that
time, SO, after q deal Of consultation.
1t was finally decided TO postpone the
funeral service for one month. so that
Cinnamon in other States might have
chance TO attend.
MANY NOTABLES PRESENT.
Nearly every State in the Union was
represented at the funeral. Large dele
cations came from all the cities of the
Northwest and Canada. Some came
from as far as Mexico, while numbers
made the journey from New York and
Chicago. In all, several hundred prom
inent Celestials from all over the coun-
try took part in the burial services.
The hour set for the big parade to
start from the headquarters of the
tong was i o'clock, but by 9 in the
morning the streets near the place were
thronged with Orientals and Occi-
dentals all eager for a glimpse at the
gaudily robed Masons as they passed
IN AID cut Of the building.
When the hour of noon was at hand
Chinatown was crowded as It has not
been in 5e1rs. Every stree5 where the
procession was to pass was .illed and
an extra squad of police was neces-
sary TO keep the immense crowd in
check.
The procession was as gorgeous q
panorama OF cd,or as has ever been
witnessed in this city and probably the
most notable since the one shat fol-
lowed the famous Little Pete to his
last resting place. Fully 2500 men
turned out, some on foot ard others on
horseback. but carriages We're conspic-
uOus by their absence.
The Chinese Masons made arrange
ments for $50 carriages at the rate 4
s. each. but at the last minute the
hsckmen raised their prices. A con
sultaticn was held and the Celestials
decided to walk rather than stand the
additional tariff.

The parade took in all the principal
streets of Chinatown and was more
than an hour passing along it's route
there. 1t then wended its way down
Kearny street TO Market, but by the
time the latter thoroughfare was
reached most of the paraders had
dropped out and only a small number
followed the coffin to Fifth and Market
streets, where it was put on car and
sent on it's way to the Chinese Cemetery
below Colma.
A peculiar feature Of the funeral was
that very few of the mourners followed
the body to the grave. Less than a
hundred persons made the journey
most of the mournersl being apparently
content with participating in the pa
rade and the ceremonies at the head
quarters of the tong.
The services at the grave were long
and imposing. The remains were taken
to the highest point of the cemetery
and there laid to rest with the usual
ceremonies that attend a Celestial of

punks were laid by the coffin and the
death prayers were chanted by the Off
