BANK ROBBER KILLED.
Two Badly Wounded In Attempting to
Make Their Escape.

Montreal, March 4.-One of Eve rob-
bers who broke into q branch of the
Royal bank on Saturday at Montreal
West, a junction Of the Canadian Pa
cific railroad, five miles west of the
city, was killed in a running fight with
citizens. Residents of the neighborhood
got the alarm before the gang had OBJ
tanned any loot. After an exchange of
shots the other four robbers escaped
leaving the body of their companion.
The attempted robbery was the most
daring in the history of Canada Late
last night a Canadian Pacific railway
Waterman saw the men lettering
around the station and raced them
without being noticed. Early today he
saw them crawling through a window
of the bank, the bars having been
sawed through. He notified the police
and a posse surrounded the building.
The bandits were called upon to sur
render. Suddenly there was a terrific
dynamite explosion and the bank was
completely wrecked. In the confusion
the robbers got away but were cornered
later in a shack on the outskirts of the
city.
The chief of police and his son, in
tn face of a heavy revolver fire, en-
tered the building and engaged in a
duel with the men. One robber was
killed outright and two more fell badly
wounded from the fire of the police
A bullet that hit a heavy table in the
center of the room glanced off and seri-
ously wounded Charles Fitzpatrick son
OF the chief. The remaining four rob-
bers broke for cover and later were
under the fire of the police Nothing
that would identify the dead bandit
was found on his body although senti-
ment showed itself when a photograph

ing found further reflection in the drag
ging under tone of the first hour. Prices
showed some tendency to harden but the
movement as whole was narrow and
purposeless.
Some of the specialties scored further
gains but the strength Of these issues
failed to elicit more than passing in
terest.
Wall ST., New York March 4-STOCKS
For no other reason perhaps than the
circulation of rumors suggesting an early
settlement of the English strike the stock
market became active and strong before
noon under the lead of Reading. United
States Steel and st. Paul sold above last
weeks best prices and other active stocks
greatly improved their early position. The
movement comprised several of the high
which gained 215, General Electric 13s and
American Beet Sugar 15s. American To.
bacco was off l and American Snuff
points.
Bonds were irregular.
Profit taking sales stopped the rise In
prices after United States Steel had touch
ed 6215 and Reading 1861. Dizziness set In
when the market began to give way but
the recessionS did not amount to much
Bull traders professed announcement
over the absorptive character OF the mar
ket. The rise in price brought out con-
siderable profit taking sales and In add
ton London was credited with SellnB
1000 shares. BY the middle of the after
noon the standard stocks were ruling
generally at figures well above Saturday
closing.
The market closed strong; Copper
stocks were bought more freely on re-
ports of another advance in the metal;
other stocks also hardened slightly with
trade increasing largely in volume.

The Snow at GoodIand.

Goodland, Kan, March A heavy.
damp snow struck this city about D. m
Saturday, driven by a strong wind from
the northeast. The snowfall was con-
tinuous until Monday morning and
amounted to about seven inches. The
ground is again covered with a blanket of
snow of from eight to ten inches. This
snow, with the big one earlier in the win
