TWO SHOT TO DEATH
IN ASUBWAY BATTLE
Lone Robber Tries to Steal Bag Con-
tanning $4,000 From Bank
Messengers.

NEW YORK, December Alan
Gardner, a bank messenger. and George
De Brosa. a robber, died late last night
from bullet wounds received in SEN
sational attempt made by the latter to
steal bag containing $4,000 in the
14th street subway station during the
rush hour late yesterday.
Gardner was shot by De Rrosa, who
was in turn wounded by bullets from
his own revolver. which had been
wrested from him by Walter F. Orle-
man, another messenger. De Brosa
died first, Gardner ten minutes later.
The messengers were employed of the
Bank of the Metropolis in Union Square,
near the scene of the hold-up.
Carried Three Revolvers.
De Brosa, who was armed with three
revolvers. carried nearly 200 cartridges,
bag of black powder and wore two
suits of clothing, walked up behind the
messengers as they were buying tickets
preparatory to boarding a train for a
lower Broadway express Office, where
they We're to ship the money out of
town
Without warning De Brosa fired two
shots into the head of Gardner, who car
to the floor, amid the cries of the subway
throng, the robber threw away the re-
volver, seized the bag and started up the
stairway toward the street. Orleman
gave chase. and De Brosa drew a second
revolver and fired, the bullet lodging in
the messengers coat collar.
Took Revolver From Robber.
Orlelnan, however. wrested the revolver
from De Brosa, who ran on. AS the rob-
Der reached the topnlost step Orleman
fired twice, one bullet lodging in De
Brosa's back. He dropped his booty and
fled into Broadway. Orlenlan recovered
the bag, but kept in pursuit.
BY this time police were approaching
from several directions. De Brosa then
drew his third revolver and discarding
his outer suit, ran across Union Square.
Here he attempted to retrace his steps,
but was felled by a patrolman whom he
attempted to shoot.
Gardner was eighteen years old, and
Orleman, one of the bank S confidential
messengers, is thirty mine. Little is
known to the police OF De Brosao, who
was about thirty years old.

WHO TRIED TO ROB TRAIN
Attempted Hold-Up Fooled by Cool
ness of Theodore P. Homard,
the Engineer.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, December A.
Two posses today are pursuing the
bandits who last night attempted to
hold up south bound passenger train
on the Iron Mountain railroad near
Malvern, Ark.
The hold-up was foiled through the
GOODNESS of Theodore p. Homard. the
engineer, and so quickly were officers
and citizens on the trail of the would
be robbers that battle was fought
with them less than three hours later.
Sheriff J. Stanley of Malvern was
wounded in the foot.
The attempted hold-up was similar
to others perpetrated in the southwest
in past months. Two men climbed
on the blind baggage" into the en-
CINE cab. ordered Engineer Homard to
stop the train when he saw a camp
fire. The engineer took his time bring
ing the train to a halt and the rob
bers We're carried a mile beyond the
place where their confederates were
supposed to be waiting. Seeing that
they were outwitted, the men leaped
from the train and escaped

LONDON FUR SALES A r1zzLE

Fairhanks-Presiden R. c. Wood, of the First National Bank today re ceivei a telegram from Alfred Frazer, tho American representative of the great English fur house of Lampson < Co. regarding sales inLondon today, After having passed the usual fall and winter sales periods Lampson X Co. advertised an auction sale for March a4sh, and according to tele- gram the affair was practically fail ure.
 There was no sale whatever for mink skins Marten, lynx and red fox skins sold for 70 per cent of the prices last March while beaver sold s5 per cent under last years market Bear skins alone maintained the same value.
 This simply means that until the present war is ended and the people can recover from their enormous ex- penditures that furs are considered too great a luxury for general pur- chase and the fur market is dead ex- eeptiug for local use. Ii is mat ter of serious importance to Alaska and the interior in particular-Fair banks News Miner.

Waqqinq the Ears.

You win rarely find that man who can wag his ears suffers from deafness. The reason for this is very simple. Wagging ones ears exercises them just as much as walking exercises the muscles of the legs. A great deal of deafness is caused by the muscles of the ears becoming stiff and refusing to respond quickly to the sound waves
 Quite a large proportion of children can move their ears. just as they can move the skin on their forehead up and down. but as they grow up they lose their power through want of practice. It is a mistake to let child lose this power. for if may mean the difference between good and bad hearing in after years. Dr. NJ. Fernet, the famous Par is doctor, has even gone so far as to suggest that people should be trained to wag their ears, just as they are trained to exercise any other muscles of the body.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Blunt Excuse.

There is stroy of an English clergy man who had taken temporary duty for friend and who had the ill luck to injure his false teeth during the week. The plate was sent to the den- tist for repairs. faithful assurance being given that it should be returned by Sundays post. but the dentist or the post proved faithleSs.
 With the assistance Of the clerk the clergyman managed to stumble through the prayers, but felt it would be use- less to attempt to preach. He there fore instructed the clerk to make some excuse for him and dismiss the congre- gation. But his feelings may be better imagined than described when. in the seclusion of the vestry. he overheard the clerk in impressive tones thus de- liver the excuse:
 "Parson is very sorry, but it is his misfortune to be obliged to wear set of artful teeth. They busted last Wednesday. and he ain't got them back from London today, as he was promised. I've helped him all I could through the service, but 1 can't do more for him. 'Tisn't any use for him going up in the pulpit. for you wouldn't understand word he said, so he thinks you all may as well go home

 Several others were caught on tho trail by the sudden drop in temper ture and they were unprepared for cold weather. Many travellers were badly frostbitten and it is feared that a number of foreigners who were en- route to Fairbanks have suffered Valdez Prospector.
