Bigelow. Kan. Dec. PA bold day
light robbery of the Bigelow state bank
at this place was frustrated by Miss
Lulu E. Brubaker. daughter of A. H.
Brubaker cashier of the institution,
when she shot the would-be robber
through the arm and forced him to flee
amidst a shower of bullets from her re-
volver. Just about closing time Thurs
day afternoon and after the time lock
on the vault and safe had been releas-
ed, a stranger entered the institution.
A number Of customers were in the
bank at the time and the stranger
loitered about until they left. He then
approached the cashiers window and
asked for change for a five dollar bill
AS Cashier Brubaker passed out the
change he found himself looking down
the barrel of a revolver which he de-
scribes as being of extra large cali
Der.
Immediately there came the stern
command from the robber. Throw up
your hands or l will blo-N a hole

about the matter and Cashier Bru-
baker Immediately reached for the cell
ing of the room with both hands.
There was really nothing else for me
to do under the circumstance" said
Mr. Brubaker, for he had the drop on
me and [ did as he commanded me to.

the time lock was on and that it could
not be opened until the following MORN

He threw down a sack which he had
brought with him and commanded my
daughter to place some loose change
which was on the counter and a small
sum of money which was in plain sight
in a drawer into it. AS he lifted the
drawer to the top of the counter my
daughter grabbed the revolver which

Latest Explanation of Ocey
Snead's Death
That Has Been Offered by Her
Women Relatives.
USER OF MORPHINE
For Two Years Before Her
Death, They Declare.
She Had Often Tried to Quit
Without Success.

New York, Dec 24.-Was he own con-
slant use of the hyperdermic needle the
cause of Ocey Snead's death? Colonel
Robert j. Hare, counsel for Mrs. Car
oline B. Martin. the bath tub victim :
mother. brought this question to the
fore today as he was preparing to ap-
pear in court here for the third hearing
on the cases of Mrs. Martin and Mrs
Snead, whom the New York authori-
ties are holdin~ pending extradition.
Colonel Hare declares he has evil
dence to show that the young woman
was what is known in the popular
vernacular as dope fiend.'
by that 1 mean,'' said the attorney,
that she used drugs. chiefly morphine
for nearly two years before she died
l have learned from talking with heI
mother about the case.
1.-THE hyperdermic needle was used
upon her when she was seriously i'll y
continued Colonel Hare. land after that
its employment was constant. She tried
to stop the habit and would resist for
long periods. Then would come anoth-
err period of illness and the temptation
to gain relief was too great FOR her to
resist. She would go for days and days
without food, living on morphine. l am
convinced that it was in this condition
that she destroyed herself
Colonel Hare said this would be Mrs
Martins defense against the charges
of numbering her daughter.
It was expected that the two women
held by the New York authorities would
be sent back to the jail after today s
hearing to await the further steps OF
the New Jersey authorities in extra
dition proceedings.
Further complications in the maze OF
contradictory evidence which investiga-
ton of the case has unearthed developed
today with the discovery of additional
documents. They were found by the
Brooklyn police in the Henry street
house once occupied by the Wardlaws
and imbued the detectives with the be-
lief that the entire family had made
a suicide agreement which was only
partly fulfilled by the death of Ocey
Snead. The alleged compact is said to
be revealed by letters signed by Ocey
Snead, her husband Fletcher, Mrs. Mar
tin, her mother, and her aunts, Mrs.
Mary Snead and Miss Virginia Ward
law. Accompanying them were several
blank forms of power of attorney, all
signed by Ocey Snead. The documents
have been turned over to the New Jer-
sey authorities.
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Snead We're ar
raigned in court here today. The New
Jersey indictments against them were
read and the two women were commit
ted for 80 days to await the warrant fol

FALSE ALARM,

The report given out by the
daily papers to the effect that Ed
Johnson's barn. near Brooksville,
was burned by night riders, is
without foundation. A special to
the Lexington Herald says: No
one in Brooksville knows b e
source of the report. JohnSon's
barn was burned. but so far as can
be learned by careful inquiry here
and in the county, no one saw the
criminal or criminals who fired Il e
building. Berry CKyD News.
We have frequently refrained
from printing sensational reports
like the original pertaining to this
barn. Too many reporters think
more about telling something SEN
,ational than they do about telling
the truth 4 reputable journal or
daily paper should not retain in its
service a reporter who sCnls in
falsehoods. Let him learn the
facts and then do his writing.
In time of great excitement.
there is especial reason for care.
He could have said the barn was
burned. without saying night rid
ers did it.

living in a way not approved by
them receives a thrashing he is not
likely to forget. Some of the VIC
tins have had the tie nerlty to
write to the Governor to ask him
what they should do to avert ruin
and to maintain their Independence.
Gov. Wilson's advice had been
for the cranks and troublesome
ones to defend themselves, to form
liberty leagues and to arm their
friends and dependents for the
protection of their rights. 1t
seems as if executive proclamation
were unnecessary to stir a selt-re-
specting man to such action.
What is the explanation of this!
Is it not to be found in the SUI
pineness and inaction of the author
tiles, who have failed utterly and
shamefully to give decent, law
abiding citizens the protection
guaranteed to them in their State
Constitution and for the support
of which they pay taxes!
Why, it may fairly be asked,
should the law not be in front of
the 'self-respecting, free Ken
tuckians," instead of ''b hin d
them" If the State Government
is seriously with them" why
should it be necessary for them to
arm themselves! The Governor
invites anarchy. Why does he
not do his duty! Is it that he
alone in Kentucky upholds law and
order! Is the citizenship of the
State By an overwhelming major
ity opposed to the maintenance of
Justice! If these are not the facts,
how can the situation now existing
be explained"
