BANDIT Sent
MONEY BY POST

Cincinnati, Dec. 19.-The 100 OBJ
tained by Frank c. Hohl, the automo-
bile bandit. who Thursday held up two
banks and was later killed after
fatally wounding a policeman, or at
least a part of it, was shipped by par
eel post to Louisville, KY, by the rob-
ber. This information was ascertained
by the police late today when John
q. Keller, a grocer, identified the dead
robber as the man who had come TO
his store shortly after noon Thursday
and obtained q box in which he placed
several bundles and then securely
wrapped the package IT also was as
Of the postoffice about 1890 p. m.
Thursday.
It is known that he sent box de-
cidedly similar to the one he wrapped
up in the grocery store to p c. Wright,
Louisville, KY, and the postmaster at
that city has been notified to be on
he lookout for the package. A post
office money order application also
was found in the dead mans cloth
ing addressed to P. c. Wright, Louis
Vile, Ky.
1t is now believed by the police that
one Of the two revolvers carried by
HohI contained blank cartridges. This
was used, the police assert, merely
to frighten those who Hohl encounter
ed in the banks. Cashier George Win
ters of the Liberty bank. who was
powder burned by the discharge OF
Hollis revolver, states that the bandit
fired point blank at him when only a
foot or two away, and that for a time
he thought he certainly had been shot.
This theory, according to the police,
also is substantiated by the fact that
no bullet holes were found in the walls
or woodwork OF either bank, but that
several small paper wads were noticed
after the -.shootinR.

large number of the latter, and the
crews have been forced out OF the rail-
road field. 1t appeared that on an
average one crew would be dispensed
with for every crew placed on a big
engine.
BY the seniority rule recognized by
all railroads the older engineers take
the new engines; the younger
engineers become firemen, and the
younger fremen lose their Jobs. 1t

Farmers Institute.

The County Farmers Institute
meeting will be called l:30 p. M,
at Columbus, Kansas, Saturday,
May 23rd. The purpose of the
meeting is to organize a Farmers
Cooperative Club. This will be
about the time for farmers to
make their orders for fertilizers
for wheat. Cherokee county uses
about 5000 tons of commercial
fertilizer for wheat. If enough
farmers would 60 together to
purchase from 500 to 1000 tons,
there is no question but what Sc
to So per. ton could easily be
saved. Prices are now quoted on
special bonemeal in lots of $50
tons, analyzing from 80 to 80 per
cent phosphoric acid, Sc per ton
less than sold retail last year.
The most important of the Or
ganization is education, which is
to be gotten by active work in
the Farmers Institute, and by
the Boys and Girls Clubs. The
most essential matter to be con-
sidered is the most profitable sys-
tenn of farming, and one that
will maintain and improve the
fertility of the soil.
