s.sTANT CASHIER OF lNsTl.
TUITION WAS ALONE.

Ottawa, ILL.,, Nov. THE two rob.
hers who secured $1,000 from the
Farmers and Miners bank at Ladd
made their escape after an exciting
chase OF over forty miles and after
numerous battles with farmers who
attempted TO intercept them. After
holding up the Ladd bank the robbers
drove to Peru and at the point of a
revolver compelled a liveryman to fur
nish another rig. They passed through
La Sale and then the pursuit began.
The robbers drove through four coun.
ty townships with police armed with
rifles in close pursuit. Farmers were
compelled to furnish the robbers with
fresh horses. In Wallace township a
lively exchange of shots took place,
but the robbers took to the cornfields,
secured a new team and escaped to
Sheridan, where. they abandoned
horses. buggy and overcoats and
caught a train, presumably for Chi
cagO.
Story Of the Daring HoIdup.
La Sale, ILL.,, Nov. THE Farmers
and Miners bank OF Laid, a mining
town, was held up and robbed late in
the afternoon.
The assistant cashier, J. J. Hurley,
was alone in the bank when two men
entered and asked for some pennies.
The next moment, covering Hurley
with revolvers, they marched him to
a back room, where they bound him
hand and foot. After selling $1,000 in
cash they escaped.
Tho robbers hired a livery team at
Peru to drive to Laid. In about three
hours they came back and returned
the team, in the meantime having
committed the robbery. The livery
man, having heard of the holdup, tried
to procure assistance of citizens to
surround the robbers, but the latter
shot at every one who appeared near
the stable. The robbers slipped from
the stable and kept up a running
fight for an hour, finally escaping.

Now that election is over for two
years and many differences may
have arose and these must now
be cast aside and all pull together

added to the towns and villages
will last for years.

1t has been said that a man Is
not a good citizen unless he par
ticipates in all the functions that
makes a citizen. A man who re-
fuses to participate in an election
has no right to criticize the acts OF
an official whom his vote did not
help to elect.

all of the squatters practically, and of

to purchase said lands, and at that
time with each application l paid one
third of the purchase price.
There was no requirement whatever
that any of these lands should be ex-
amined by the purchasers prior to the
time of purchasing, no oath required
that they had examined ii. The only
oath required was that they were TAX
ing it for their own use and occu-
pancy and that they had no contract
to sell it. l think it safe to say that
aside from the actual squatters
eight-tenths of the persons who
bought lands, bought them without
going to see them. relying on the fact
that any land practically was worth

made on the land the entry could not

came complete when payments were
made; in other words, when payment
was made the purchaser was entitled

such time as he could make
proof of residence and cultivation.
Many persons bought relying upon
these decisions and relying upon the
use of the land, even well knowing
that they could not receive patent
without proof of residence and culti-

the land. 1t was also generally un-
derstood that a bill had been pre-

pass congress, providing that in cases
of that character, where the lands
were not susceptible of residence oil
cultivation, patent would issue upor
proof of the real condition of the
land. This was subsequently done by
