BOUND OVER.
Bank Robbers are Held for Trial
Bail Fixed at $4,000 Each.

Ed. Rand and Jas. Kennedy the two
men suspected of being the ones who
attempted to rob the Bank of Athens
on the morning of September Is last
had their examination Saturday morn
ing in municipal court. Eight or ten
witnesses were called, each giving
damaging testimony The first of
these was VIM. Krom the man whom
the robbers shot at and who was
beaten over the head with revolver.
He still has wounds on his head.
Krom talks very broken English and
after the lawyers had tried for half
an hour to get his story, it was found
necessary to get an interpreter. Krom
said, "Ven / shtep der door out one
of dose fellows say, 'Shtop we're you
are or | kill you right away qvick.'"
He Wss ll..ttt;ie SLOW in obeying the
command and was batted over the
head with the butt end of revolver.
He was then sorry that he replied
''Vat iss dat your pizness9' when the
robber first accosted him and asked
him where he was going.
Other witnesses testified to hearing
the explosions, of seeing the men run,
etc. Two of the men who stopped
the robbers at Milan also testified.
One of them said they fired at the
two men on the velocipede sjust for
the hell of it," as he put it. A saloon
keeper of Greenwood Unidentified the
two men as ones who had been in his
place and left kit of burglars tools
in the back room.
Geo. Kreutzer Unidentified piece of
a shoe heel found in the bank as one
he picked up. A piece was missing
from one of Rand's shoes and this
piece fitted the heel exactly, the nail
holes corresponding to the nails in
the shoe.
The sheriff testified to finding shot
holes in Kennedy's arm and back and
blood marks on his shirt. One shot
was sticking in the shirt.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Attorney Fred Genrich for the sus-
poets moved that Kennedy be dis
charged because no evidence had been
introduced showing that he had any
connection with the blowing up of
the Athens bank and further that no
evidence had been offered to show
that any crime had been committed
nor the ownership of the bank had
not been placed. To prove the latter
Geo. KreutZer was recalled and told
of the destruction of the bank, chat
he was one of it's directors and ad-
mitted that the banks directors has
never, to his knowledge, given any
one authority to enter the bank at
night and blow the safe door off it's
hinges.
The court found that an offense had
been committed and ordered that the
prisoners be held for trial. Their
bail was fixed at $1,000 each.

VALUE OF IMPROVEMENTS.

The man vii a country place to
sell often wonders why a place that
be knows is not near so valuable as
his own will sell for more money and
without any apparent tffurt on the
part of the owner, seeming almost to
sell itself.
He does not ea,i ie that his house
is shabby and bare. The windows
are small and dingy, shutters dilapi-
dated, and it has not been painted
for years. There IS no porch, the
chambers are low, but no lower than
in the other mans house, only the
other mans house is white and
fresh and cool looking, -with every
hing in repair, and the dormer and
that porch at the side are very at
tractivp. Then, to, lovely vines are
climbing over the other mans house
and a wealth of A)wers are growing
in the other mans yard.
City people are hungry for flowers
and vines and shade trees, and when
they buy property in the country,
the call Of the flowers is a strong
one, They increase the value Of a
really fine pace, and often sell a
place that has no real value as a
