SUNOL BANK ROBBED
Two Persons Killed and Rob.
Der Captured After hot
Chase

Ilc llltle toNil vi sunni aDbut
twenty miles west of Julesburg
was the scene Of bold bank
robbery and double murder at
noon last Friday.
The Farmers state bank at
that place was entered by a lone
robber and at the point of two
loaded guns compelled the cash
ier Mr.. Smith to hand over some
8 800 in money and then tied
and forced him into the vault.
The cashier was alone in the
bank when the man came in and
presented check. Being Il
stranger, the banker demanded
that he get some one to identify
him, whereupon the robber COW
cred the cashier with two guns
and told to put up his hands.
The robber then gathered up
what money there was in sight,
left Smith in the vault, shut the
door but did not turn the combi-
nation. Smith worked his arms
free, pushed the heavy iron door
open and gave the alarm.
Hastily gathering up what few
firearms could be found, the citi-
zens gave chase and soon had the
robber surrounded and as Ira
PauI,, an aged man and village
drayman, tried to arrest him was
shot to death with bullet thru
the heart.
This shooting put ii check to
the pursuit and the robber ran to
a car which contained John Dem.
ers and Paul Vacik. The robber
did not wait but killed Vacik and
continued down the road, stopp-
ed Il passing car, forced the dri-
yer to high speed and escaped to
the east. The race of the robber
and citizens was exciting and on
nearing the creek east of Sunol
the chase ended and man captured
Neither money or guns were
found on him out in the
weeds and cornfield the money
taken from the bank was found.
The second man in the case and
driver of the car was also arrested
and the two hurried to Jail in
Sidney to avoid mob violence.
The tragedy has caused a agloom
of sorrow in the community OF
the little village as both men who
lost their lives at the hands OF
the assassin were we'll known and
highly respected citizens.

FARM LOAN LAW
New Covernment Law Provides
for Leans Direct TO the
Farmer aud Raneher

Great things are apparently ex-
pected of the new law which pro-
yides for farm loans from United
States government funds, and in
certain ways it is likely to prove
of immense advantage to the far
mers of the country. The meas
ure, however, will have limita-
tions for good. Its greatest good
will result from lowering of the
interest charged on all loans, in IA
general way, but it will not make
it any easier for the farmer in
need of cash to secure Il loan.
When farmer has the right Sc
curity he can borrow money as
readily from the banks and from
brokers as he can from the gov
ernment. In all probability
more readily, for in this, as in all
government matters, there Is
much red tape to be unraveled,
and the security must be equally
as good with the government as is
demanded by private institutions.
1t will, it is reasonable to suppose
result in a lower rate of interest
for when the government will
loan money at 6 per cent maxium
charge, banks and individuals
will be compelled to do the same
or go out of business. The COM
petition of the government will
be met by the bank.
II may be that the government
will have competition by the var
ious states. Indeed, action to-
ward that end is contemplated in
Colorado, and proposition for
farm loans will be submitted to
the voters of the state at the COM
ing election.
The new law provides for a
dozen federal banks in as many
districts of the nation. The fed
eral government can assist by
loans in establishing the banks
until such time as the districts
are able to supply the money. In
each district there may be formed
joint stock land banks, privately
owned. Another part of the new
machinery required, will be ma
tional farm loan associations,
composed of ten or more farmers
in district desiring to borrow
money from the federal loan
bank. Association, joint stock
bank and the parent federal loan
bank board, composed of four ap-
pointees of the president and Sec
retary of the treasury.
The farmer who requires a loan
must be a member of the loan
association by subscribing for
stock to within 5 per cent of the
loan he gets.
In order to raise the money to
loan to the farmers of the federal
land bank and the joint stock
land bank are authorized to sell
bonds secured by flst mortgages
on. the farms pledged for the
loans. The bonds will draw 8
per cent interest. Loans can be
used only by the farmers to pur-
chase land and live stock and
equipments, for buildings and
Improvements and to pay off pre-
yious loans. The amount loaned
is limited to so per. cent of the
land value and 2Oper cent of the
Improvements, etc.
