miles. When the posse overlook
them, each of the robber seized boy

the boys and leader of the posse, took
a desperate chance and shot one of
the robbers, who was holding Harri-

Salina, Kan, Dec. 10 Earl
Ward, 80 years of age, who this
morning robbed the State bank of
Paradise, Kan, securing $4,000,
killed himself when surrounded by
a posse of farmers IA miles north of
that place late to-day.
Wards suicide was a Climax to
one of the most sensational robberies
committed in Kansas in recent years.
He made a hard ride for liberty but
posse of farmers surrounded him
at sundown. Then he turned the
gun he had bought earlier in the day
upon himself and sent a bullet
through his brain.
On the body the posse found the
$4,000 stolen from the bank. Ward,
who lived IL miles northeast, went
to Paradise last night. He attracted
only casual notice. This morning he
went to a hardware store and bought
a revolver, ammunition and coil
of rope. He then entered the bank
where he covered Bert O'Brien, cash
ier, and four other men with the
weapon. After the safe had been
opened by the cashier at Wards di-
rection, the five men were marched
into back room and forced to lie
on the floor. The lone bandit then
tied them and gagged them with gun
ny sacking. After taking $4,000 from
the vault Ward walked to a hardware
store, purchased a rifle and a large
number of cartridges, and mounting
his horse rode rapidly away. In a
short time the men in the bank were
discovered and released.

Carnival of Violence.

received here, this afternoon
from Millen, Ga, to the effect that
a long series of midnight whippings
of negroes in that section culminat-
ed early this morning in the shooting
of Will Atwater, negro, who was
injured seriously, and the probable
wounding of white man, who, it
seems, is being secreted by the mask
ed men who accompanied him.
To-day local authorities received
word from J. w. Woodall, a wealthy
planter there, that the trouble be-
tween whites and blacks had reached
a crisis and aid was needed. The
Macon Telegraph will say in the
morning that investigation of affairs
at Millen shows the agitation dying
down. According to Bud Blackburn,
10 masked white men bastinadoed
him at dead of night three weeks ago
and a vigilance committee has been
whipping negroes regularly.
Woodall says that Atwater was
dead and that one white man was
killed by him before he died during
last nights fight, when the night ri
ders visited Atwater'sf home. The
identity of the white man is kept a
secret. A Millen physician says that
no white man was killed, although
there might have been one wounded
and that Atwater is living.
