AUxvAssE BANK'RoBBED.
A Pitched Battle Between Citizens
and the Outlaws.

Auxyasse, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-A
bold effort was made to loot the
Auxvasse bank here about 2 O'Clock
this morning. The robbers sue
ceeded in getting into the bank
vaults, but their efforts to open
the safe were unsuccessful. Cash
Ter BARLEY aud Assistant Cashier
Stokes were notified by telephone
that burglars were in the bank and
hurried to the scene with repeat
ing shotguns. They opened fire
on the burglars, who returned the
fire. Some forty or fifty shots
were exchanged in the darkness.
The presence..in the bank was dis
covered by Walter Harrison and
Jake Holland, two young men of
Auxvasse, who gave the alarm.
They were returning from Fulton
and saw the men moving around
in the bank. They Immediately
notified Cashier p. b. BARLEY and
aud Assistant Cashier &c. Stokes.
The burglars escaped with $115.
The robbers had stationed one
of their number on the outside,
WIN engaged Bartly and Stokes,
in Il street battle, while those on
the inside with the money made
their escape. In the cross'hre that
followed, Stokes and BARLEY fired
thirty-two shots and the robbers
returned the compliment with fiji,
teen or twenty pistol shots. The
burglars escaped to the west END
of town, between volleys, where
they had their horses hitched aud
waiting for them. One of the rob
beers was wounded in the cross-frt
| and could be followed by MS OlOOC
tracks as far as the depot.
1t was fortunate that the rob
bers were discovered at all earl!
stage or they might have gottel
into the safe and secured all tn
currency the bank had on hand
which amounted to several thous
and dollars. The money the rob
bers secured did not belong to tn
bank, the county collector having
placed 500 in the vault over nigh
and the postmaster had left ST.
there after banking hours.

Bryan Points Morals in a Speech
at Macon

Macon, Oct. 2l.-In the course
of his speech here yesterday morn
ing, William j. Bryan told the fol-
lowing anecdotes.
You can sit two men down in
in front of me aud can always
tell which, is the. Republican and
which is a Democrat by the obser
walton he makes after. the relation
of the narrative concerning the rich
man and Lazarus. The Democrat
invariably says:
The poor fellow! 1t is too
bad! The government ought to
have been managed so that he
could have eaten from the table,
and not be compelled to pick up
the crumbs which the rich man
dropped
The Republican says:
- l tell you, it was a lucky
thing for Lazarus there was rich
man to feed him crumbs"
In the campaign of '96 l said,
Burn all the great cities, and the
farms of the country will contrib
ute enough wealth to restore them
in short time, but burn all the
farms and.the cities would soon de-
cay and grass grow up in their
streets After the election a gen.
tleman in California sent me a
dodger Durporting to give my
views. 1t was headed this way:
Burn the cities.
Where was a baskful young
man who had been counting CIR
