STOLE 100000 FROM BANK.

Paying Teller and Auditor Of Pitts.
burg Bank Get Ten Years Each.
Pittsburg, June 8. - Henry Richer
former paying teller Of the Farmers
Deposit National bank, and John
Young, the former auditor, who loot
ed that institution of almost $4,000
600, were each sentenced to serve ten
years in the Western penitentiary by
Judge Young, in the United States
court.
It was the first time that the looters
appeared before the court except
when they pleaded guilty, and many
startling facts were brought out re-
garding the greatest bank robbery of
which there is any record. According
to statements made before the court
by the two men and their attorneys
every penny of the immense fortune
they stole was taken in actual cash,
commencing with amounts as low as
$500 and ranging to $4,000 as they
became holder and more experienced.
The bank charges them with taking
100000, but it is admitted that the
sum is close to $2,00O,000.
OF this vast sum the bank secured
back only $4,000 and great stack of
stocks Of various kinds which are not
worth the paper they are printed on.

FOUL AIR FATAL TO SIX MINfRSI
Eight Others in Dangerous Cosdltion
As Result Of Breathing
Poison Air. d.

Silverton, Colo, June 9.-Six men
are. dead. eight others in q dangerous
condition from breathing foul air and
twenty-five to thirty more temporarily
confined to their homes from weak
ness due to contact" with poisoned air
in the Gold King mine, located at
Gladstone.
On Thursday night fire was discov-
cred in the engine room Of the mine,
and before it could be brought under
control had destroyed that building
as we'll as the shaft house.
Go to Rescue Of Comrades.
The two buildings were located near
the portal doors Of the main shaft,
and to prevent the spread of the
flames and accumulation of smoke in
the workings of the mine, these doors
were closed temporarily. The men
working the night shift in the mine
were hurriedly notified Of conditions
on the. surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been
extinguished the list was checked
over and discovery was then made
that three men were missing. 1mme.
diately efforts to rescue them were
made. The first men to enter the
mine returned in haste and informed
those in waiting that the mine was
filled with foul air. Two rescue par
ties were formed and the men started
into the mine in groups of five.
Rescuers Succumb.
The air generated by the motion Of
the elevator had cleared the atmos-
phere in the elevator shaft, SO that
but little discomfort was experienced
there. Soon after score or more of
rescuers had entered the mine, some
of those first in appeared at the foot
of the elevator shaft, carrying the I'M
conscious forms of rescuers who had
succumbed to the noxious air. Later
a party reached the surface bringing
the dead body of Victor Erickson and
the almost lifeless bodies of John
Sumston and Otto Johnson, the three
men whose absence caused the neces-
sity for rescue work. Others who
persisted or were injured were Of the
rescue party.

Beef Packers Throughout the
Country, Becoming Anxious,
Push Prices Up.
BUTTER FAMINE THREATENED
Sixteen Big Manufacturers Say Higher
Freight Rates Will Result
In Famine.

New York, June 1O.-Beef packers,
throughout the United States, and es.
pecially in this section Of the coun-
try, are becoming alarmed over the
great shortage in beef supply. Since
last week the price has risen from 1
to 2 cents on :le 100 pounds and the
price is now around one.third greater
than it was the first part Of June,
1907. The sharp rise in prices is said
to be due entirely to the shortage in
the supply Of cattle in the market,
and already there is talk Of being
forced to have beef which was export
ed to England last winter shipped
back to this country in cold storage.
Chicago, June 9. = It was announc.
ed yesterday by the Chicago packers
that because of shortage of cattle
and of canned meats the price of beef
and of canned meats will be increas-
ed" The increase will be between
i and 2 cents a pound.
Butter Famine Next.
Sixteen Of the largest manufacture
ers of butter in the United States will

advance Of freight rates on cream
and milk before the interstate COM
MERGE commission next Wednesday.
The average increase in tariffs is
from 66 % to 100 per cent. A butter
famine is promised should their fight
fail.
The butter manufacturers say they
see no alternative other than to stop
business. The margin of profit, they
say, is less than one-half cent per
pound net. A disturbance Of the
rates that have been in effect for fif-
teen years, it is alleged, not only
would imperil the millions invested in
creamery plants and cream-saving
stations in Minnesota, Kansas, Ne.
braska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and other
states, but would cause an actual loss
to them Of more than $1.000.000 an
nually.

Number of Counties.

Omaha, June 9. - Latest reports
place the known dead in the Southern
Nebraska tornado on Friday evening
at twenty-three and possibly twenty
five, with three or four points yet to
hear from, and correspondingly
large list of injured.
With every line Of communication
by wire closed to the stricken points,
it has been we'll nigh impossible to Sc
cure details of the destruction
wrought by the tornado, but sufficient
has been received to show that it is
the worst of it's kind which has ever
visited the state, both in loss of life
and destruction of property.
AS meager reports come in the cas-
ualty list grows, each succeeding re-
port from the different towns adding
from one to three dead and several in
jured.
Desolation Is General.
Homeless and helpless, more than
200 people, farmers and their families,
have sought refuge in such homes as
were not in the path of the storm or
were fortunate enough to escape with
out serious damage. Not a head of
live stock is left in the wake of the
tornado and crops are utterly Destroy
ed.
Between Byron and Deshler the
greatest loss of life occurred, twelve
persons being killed outright and a
number receiving injuries from which
they cannot recover. The injured
have been cared for in the best man.
ner possible, but many are still in
critical condition and cannot be
moved to hospitals.
Four Counties Hit.
The storm was general throughout
at least four counties, Fillmore, Web
ster, Franklin and Thayer, on the
southern border Of the state, and
reached over into Kansas, from where
reports of great destruction are COM
ing slowly. The towns Of Carleton,
Fairfield, Deshler, Shickley, Geneva,
Frankling, Ong and Riverton are
among those visited by the storm.
