Attempted Robbery.

About o'clock Friday morning an
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob
The state bank at Kaylor, a small
town between Scotland and Trip on
the Milwaukee. Evidently the robbers
learned of goodly sum of money in
the bank, and the town being very
small one believed they had a fine
chance to make a haul. There were
three men in the party.
AS the men attempted to gain an
entrance the cashier opened fire on
them wounding one, the situation
became too warm for the robbers and
they FASTENED to make good their
escape with stolen team. They had
cut the telephone connections to help
in their escape. A message was sent
from a nearby farm house and officers
came out to Scotland Junction where
the robbers were again seen. Some
shots were exchanged and the
wounded robber taken into custody. A
second suspect was captured at Yank-
ton Saturday and when captured had a
kit of tools on his person and his hat
had been riddled with bullets. Later
he proved to be an umbrella member
and was discharged. Another suspect
was arrested at Utica Saturday. The
wounded thief who was thought to be
too badly injured to make his getaway
was left by the officers while they
pursued the others and on their return
found he had made good his escape.
The officers have a good description of
the men and expect to round up the
whole bunch in the near future. The
state bloodhounds were brought into

Nash, of Rapid City, and Miss Nettie

made man and wife by Rev. Mr.. Ferris

The unique wedding was a suggestion
of Mr.. Nash, who is in the automobile

A. w. Lucke, representing the

Mount Vernon, while trying to board a
west bound Milwaukee train a Canton
Thursday night was thrown to the
track and his left arm crushed. He
picked up his hat and took his grip in
his right hand and walked two blocks
to the hotel before weakening. A
doctor was called and the unfortunate
man given prompt relief. Mr.. Lucke
is about 30 and married. The physi-
clan hopes to save the arm.

Grating The Immigrants.

The Milwaukee road thought it had
made the stunt of its brakemen holding
up Immigrants for bridge toll across
the Missouri river at Mobridge unpop-
ular by sending a brakeman down to
Sioux Falls, but it had a surprise when
six of its employees were arrested by
the sheriff of Walworth county the
other day.
Among the six it is reported that one
was the yardmaster, another an oper-
ator, and the balance were switchmen
and brakemen. Their crimes undoubt-
eddy would not have been known had
not one brakeman forgot to bring back
the change from $40 bill. ~
Their system was for one of them to
very oficiously enter an immigrants
car and demand his contract, upon
examination they of course found that
he had not paid his bridge toll, toll
that existed in their own minds only.
They Immediately demanded $3.50,
and if the Immigrant coughed up they
.
gave him a receipt from pad they
carried, signing the yardmaster who
left the city some years ago, or the
name of conductor on the Puget
Sound line. If the Immigrant kicked
they called the yardmaster, who was
in with the gang, and if then the poor
Immigrant kicked they took him to
the operator at the depot who, if
necessary gave receipt and took the
money.
How long this graft has been going
on, the Milwaukee has been unable to
learn, but inasmuch as nearly 1000
cars of immigrants have passed through
that city this year it is safe to say
that good share of them got fieeced.

TWO DWELLINGS
ARE DESTROYED
This MORNING
EARLY MORING CONFLAGRATION
HAS A DISASTROUS
EFFECT.

Mrs. Oscar Dunn, while engaged
in cleaning dress with gasoline
this morning, received two severe
burns about her arm when the
fluid became ignited from the fric-
tion and exploded. The accident
happened shortly before 10 o'clock
and in a few minutes the house,
which Is situated near Midway
gulch, was mass of flames. The
alarm was sounded by the Midway
mine whistle and the department
was on the scene without delay.
The fire had spread with such
rapidity that it soon communicated
to the adjoining residence of Will
Nutto which was also destroyed,
as was the Dunn house. Prompt
work of the regular fire depart
ment and volunteers resulted in
the saving of two adjacent build
ings Both of the burned buildings
were owned by the occupants, and
hardly any of the furnishings were
saved. Mr.. Dunn, who was al
home at the time, managed to save
a trunk, but the personal effects
of the couple, as we'll as the fur.
niture, was destroyed. An equal
loss was met with by Mr.. and Mrs
Nutto. There was no insurance.
Mrs Dunn's burns were dressed
by a physician. She was exceed
ingly fortunate in escaping with the
injuries that resulted from the ex
plosion, for she was directly ovel

addition to the injuries on hel
arm, her hair was slightly singed

CROSSES ALPS in A
HEAVIER Than
AIR MACHINE
Difficult Feat Accomplished By
a Young Peruvian, Who is
Now a Patient in an
Italian Hospital
BY Associated Press.

DOMODOSSOLA, Italy, Sept. 23.
The great feat of crossing the
snow-capped Alps, the barrier be-
tween Switzerland and Italy, in a
heavier-than-air machine, was ac-
complished today by George Chavez,
young Peruvian Aviator. The
hero of the exploit lies tonight in
hospital, badly injured as the re-
suit of an accident that occurred
Just as he completed the most ar
duous, nerve-racking portion of the
task. Both of his legs are broken,
his left thigh fractured and his
body badly confused, but the ply
sicians are of the opinion that his
injuries will not prove fatal.
The accident occurred as Chavez
was trying to make landing here.
The Alps had been crossed sue
cessfully and the aviator was de-
scending with the power of his ma
chine cut off. When about thirty
feet above the ground a sudden
gust of wind seemed to catch the
monoplane, which turned it over
and it fell. Chavez was picked up
bleeding and unconscious from be-
meath the twisted wreckage, He
was endeavoring to win the $4,000
prize offered by the Italian Aviation
society.
In crossing the Simplon pass the
aviator reached an altitude of 1900
feet. The twenty-five miles between
Brig and Domodossola, which took
to negotiate, Chavez accomplished,
in forty minutes.
