Fort Dodge, April 14.-An attempt
was made Tuesday night to rob the
Duncombe bank and yesterday every
man in Fort Dodge who could De
spared was sent on the trail OF the
four men who opened fire on Night
Watchman Latta when they were DIS
covered in the act of blowing open
the safe which contained the banks
money. The night Waterman "hlle
making his usual round ABOUT 3
O'Clock saw two men lurking IN the
shadow of the bank building and I'M
mediately opened fire on them. The
men proved to be sentlnels pos.eu
outside to watch while the two othel
members of the gang operated on the
safe. The alarm was given to the
confederates on the inside ny the
noise of the shooting and the four men
ran north on Main street and escaped
by mems of hand car when mao
evidently been placed handy for tnat
purpose. During the retreat down the
street a steady fire was kept up on
the marshal, who pursued them unt'i
they procured the hand car and were
out of range, He then gave the alarm
and a posse was organized Wn1cn
secured the country all day yesterday
Investigation showed that the nand
car at the Central road had peer
stolen, The four men went west tc
within a quarter of mile OF the Eas'
Carbon station just east of Fl. Dodge
where the car was abandoned and the
men evidently proceeded therefrom
on foot. The officers think it likely
that horses were waiting little dis
lance off the road to carry the mem.
bers of the gang to place OF safety.
Examination at the bank showed
that the tools from the Illinois Central
tool house had been stolen for the
work of breaking into the bank. The
front door of the bank mad been
forced and a hole picked in the brick
wall OF the vault large enough to ad.
nit the body of man. The two men
working inside had proceeded far
enough into the interior vault that
they were ready to blow open the
safe containing the money when the
marshal opened fire outside. Pieces
of soap and nitro-glycerine were
found on the floor of the vault.
The police have a good description
of the men. Four strangers have been
loafing on the streets Of Duncombe
for several days. They seemed to
have plenty of money and no apparent
business and there is no doubt that
the men constitute the gang.

'Fitzgera1d is at last the
cotton market we have wished to
see it for two or three seasons
past We will double and treble
last seasons receipts, by the

being received by rail, not merely
thro the compress, which has all
it can do, but shipments to the
warehouses for local market. It
is literally coming from every
direction and the more the
buyers get the more they seem
to want, which keeps the market
up to and above the limit"
This again reminds us of the
fact Brunswick needs cotton
factors. We are sleeping over
our rights to a1low practically all
of the cotton of Georgia to go to
Savannah for shipment when a
good proportion of in belongs to
us by virtue of our proximity to
