BANK ROBBERS
ARE FOUGHT OFF
Two Determined Men with Guns
Save Bank Of Jolley in Iowa
49, III from a Raid.
Special to The Journal.

Fort Dodge, iowa, Dec. 6.-Answer-
ing volley with volley, two roomers IN
a hotel opposite the Bank Of Jolley, at
Jolley, a small town in Callahan county,
saved the contents Of the bank vault
after five robbers had blown of the
outer doors at an early hour today.
The first explosion was heard shortly
after CLOCK and was followed by two
others. The reports awoke two board
ers at the hotel, who at once opened fire
on the robbers across the street with re-
volvers. ......-
The robbers replied and the fight be-
came so hot they were forced to run to
a double seated carriage which had
previously been stolen and was waiting
them at the north edge Of town. The
flight Of the men was north until Lee
yenia was reached, where the exhausted
team was abandoned and the robbers
took to the fields.
A posse was at once formed and
started in hot pursuit, the robbers
gradually making their way to large
corn field near Lake City, where they
are believed to be surrounded. One OF
the gang is thought to have been
wounded.
The bank is owned by the First Ma
tional bank of Sac City and had $4,000
in gold in the vault. The vault doors
were completely wrecked by the force
of the explosion. The entire country
side is Joining in the chase and cap
| ture seems certain.

CALEB POWERS,TO
HAVE NEW TRIAL
Alleged Assassin of Gov. Goebel
Of Kentucky Secures a
Third Hearing.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 6.-Caleb Pow.
ers, former secretary Of state, was today
granted new trial by the Kentucky
appellate court. Each of the seven
judges wrote an opinion. Four con-
CURED in ordering the new trial. The
three who dissented were Judges Payns
ter, Mum and Hobson.
Powers was charged with completely
in the assassination Of Governor
Goebel. On the first trial he was con-
victed and given life sentence. The
second trial resulted in conviction
and sentence of death.
The principal grounds assigned by
Judge Barker in the main opinion
granting a new trial were:
! Improper remarks made by the late
attorney for the commonwealth, T. G.
Campbell; sentence was passed within
two days after the jury rendered its
verdict and the court refused to grant
further time to the defendants attor-
neys to file reasons for new trial.

The Cooper bill is now in the hands
of the senate committee on Interstate
commerce, of which Senator Clapp is
member. Much depends on the action
of this committee, which at the last ses-
sion refused to report the bill out. Com
mercial organizations all over the coun-
try. are working hard for the measure,
ton. Senator Clapp is counted among
the opponents Of the bill, and efforts to
get statement of his position have so
far failed. The Cannon Falls Beacon,
which is leading the movement in south
ern Minnesota, tried last summer, but
an evasive answer. Journa

a statement of his position, which he

Didn't Indorse Clamp.

The secret has leaked out Of how the
friends of Moses E. Clapp failed in an
attempt recently to railroad thru at a
meeting of theN Union Veterans and
Tor senator. A resolution was intro
duced indorsing the senatorial career
of Mr. Clapp and recommending that
the legislature re-elect him. The story
goes that the meeting was "packed' to
pass the resolution, but it never came
to vote. The point Of order was

laid over under the constitution for
thirty DAYS. The chair sustained the
point, and the Clapp men met disap-
