Buyers of feeding cattle are appar-

INDIAN TERRITORY
BANK ROBBERY

South McAlister. I. T.. Dec. ga
gang of five bank robbers looted the
bank in kiowa. small town sixteen
miles north of here. at 3 o'clock yes
terday morning, and escaped after sew
eral hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse of fifty citizens of Kiowa.
The robbers dynamited the safe and
secured about $500 in cash. some of
which is believed to have been mutilat-
ed by the explosion. The bank build
ing was partially wrecked. the damage
to the building being about $500.
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use of crowbars, through rear
window. While two of the men did the
work of blowing the safe, three re-
NAMED outside the building as guards
The first explosion was failure. max
ing loud report, but doing little dam
age. The citizens heard the noise and
arming themselves with revolvers and
shotguns. hurried to the bank.
At the command of leader Of the
citizens. a volley was fired at the rob-
bers. who were Visible through the
shutters. The fire was returned by tho
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men On the inside
worked. the three men outside kept UP
a steady fusilade with the posse Of cit
liens. 1t took three explosions to open
the safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money and, leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away in the darkness. The posse fol-
lowed the gang for some distance, but
lost the trail.
While the citizens believe that one
OF the robbers was injured. not one of
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire of the rob-
bers by stock pens in the rear of the
bank building.

BEET GROWERS
ASSOCIATION

Denver, Dec PA Fort Collins
special to the News last night says:
The Farmers Beet Growers Associ-
alton met this afternoon at the District
Court room and elected officers for the
ensuing year, as follows: J. S. NC
Clelland, president; Peter Anderson,
vice president; R. @. Tenney. secre-
tary; !. B. Harris, E. l.. Abel, Hugh
Strachan and ]. L. Smith, executive
committee Another committee, con-
sisting of j. s. McClelland, Walter
Laidlaw, r. Bumpstead and f. Brent
man, was appointed. whose business
will be to represent the association in
conference with the sugar factory man
agement In regard to the price that will
be paid for beets in the future.
A resolution was presented and
unanimously passed that not menu
Der of the association would sign con-
tracts to grow beets at the advanced
schedule offered by the sugar factory
people. Most of the farmers live at
such a distance from the factory that
1t will be necessary for them to ship
,beets, and the increase offered a few
weeks ago only means rs cents per ton
to these farmers. and they do not re-
yard that amount as being any induce
ment
The association adjourned this even
ing to meet again at the call OF the
president. which will probably be with
in two weeks. as the question of con-
tract is now the principal topic of in
terest being considered by the beet
growers of northern Colorado.
The sugar factory people have their
agents out among the beet growers and
they report that the men who last year
made money raising beets are signing
the new contract, and in some instances
are doubling their acreage grown last
year.
