BANK ROBBERS FolLED.
Robbers Wreck Vault of Revillo, s.
D., Bank but Are Fright
ened Away.

Revillo, S. D., April 6-The First
State Bank of this place was entered by
burglars at early hour Wednesday
morning and a desperate attempt
made to get away with the contents of
the vault. A powerful explosion was
used and the vault was badly wrecked,
but according to a statement made by
the cashier, Thomas baylor, Jr.. the
robbers failed to get away with cent.
About 2 o'clock in the morning Ben
Schultz, a barber, whose shop is loca-
ted directly across the street from the
bank, was aroused by peculiar noise
in the bank. Peering from his win
dow, he noted the shadows on the cur
tains of the bank. He secured his
shotgun and fred several charges into
the air.
This frightened the thieves and they
took to sheir heels. Securing horse
and buggy, they drove madly into the
country. Schultz is not certain just
how many the party contained, but is
sure there were at least two men,
and possibly more. Thomas baylor,
ST., president of the bank, is away on
business trip.

Murder Charge Kills His Two
Daughters and Himself.

Des Moines, Ia, April 3.-Michael
Nelson, farmer living near Poplar,
Audubon county, killed his two daugh-
ters, aged 10 and 10, and then COM
mitted suicide. The murder was dis
covered when county officers sum-
moned by the neighbors broke open
the door of the house. The two girls
were found in bed, each with bullet
hole through the head. They had been
murdered apparently as they slept. On
the floor lay the body of Nelson, mis-
rifle at his feet. Nelson has been JUS
pected by the authorities of the mur-
der of Francis Richardson, wealthy
money lender. who disappeared seven
years ago and whose body has never
been recovered. An effort was being
made to learn where the body could
be found through the instrumentality
Of spiritualist, and it is believed that
Nelson, fearful that the blame might
be laid at his door, killed his daugh-
tiers and himself rather than face the

ing there to oppose the Russian troops.

the entire region.
1t is reported that 10000 armed reb-
els have gathered in the mountains
and have elected a king. Eight thou
sand revolutionary workmen from Ba-
toum, Baku and Poti are on their way
to reinforce this army. Six other
rebel contingents, aggregating 1000
men. are operating in different parts
of the Caucasus
The plan is to bring all these revo-

has steamed 1890 miles to 2.lOO miles
Of the distance between Madagascar
and the Malay straits.

watching outside of Singapore and
Sunda straits. 1t is assumed naturally
that they are cruising west and south

the hopes of Russia are centered in
