from which she soon died. Roger has

Bank Was Unsuccessful.

Marshal Dameron makes a prac-
tice OF sleeping In q room In the rear
OF the bank. He was awakened by
the entrance OF two OF the robbers
into his room and Sat up In bed. AS
he did 80 one OF the robbers fired.
The bullet entered the corner oil the
officers mouth, crushing his jaw and
teeth and emerged back OF his right
ear. The robber then struck Dsmer-
on on the head with some heavy in
strument.
Believing that the marshal was
unconscious, the robbers returned to
the front part of the bank and began
work on the safe.
Dameron crawled out OF bed and
to she home OF neighbor and gave
the alarm. By the time help was Sc
cured, however, the robbers had fed,
leaving hammers and other instru
ments, which they had stolen ir' m
nearby shops. Posses searched for
the robbers, but could find no trace
OF them.

Chicago, Dec.-Evidence direct
from the farms, positive in nature,

The evidence is In the form OF statis-

that the farmers are fairly wallowing
In their wealth, that the vaults OF the
country banks are groaning under
the heavy weight pusupon them and
that never In history has the farmer
been In such good position as he Is
today.

A Witch's Curse.
London TitBita,

L0nQOn llt-Dlt1.
The recent death Of Captain Ernest
Rhodes, q brother Of the late Cecil
Rhodes, recalls q strange story told
by Col. Frank Rhodes.
A few years ago Cecil Rhodes turn
ed Matabele witch off his estate In
South Africa In consequence OF some
offense, and the old hag, with hatred
burning in her eyes, shrieked out:
"Thy days on earth shall be short
and two OF those who follow thee"
Curiously enough, five years have
seen three members OF the Rhodes
family die shortly aiter taking pos
session OF the Dalhsm estate. Cecil
Rhodes paid over 100000 for the
property and only visited the hall
once. 1t is probable that the witch
story is but a variant Of the legends
which has attached to Dalham hall
for years.
The place has always brought sud-
den death or misfortune on Its own
ers. This is attributed to the fact
that the mansion was built on the
site OF famous monastery, which
was looted and plundered at the
time OF the reformation.
Misfortune dogged the steps Of the
Afieck family, from whom Dalham
was purchased by Mr.. Cecil Rhodes.
