ROB ANOTHER KANSAS BANK
Unmasked Man Holds Up Cashier at
JarbaIo and Takes $1,262-
Overlooked $4,000.

More than $4,000 in. gold and cur
rency was overlooked by an unmasked
robber who entered the only bank at
Jarbalo, little town sixteen miles
west of Leavenworth, the other after
noon and escaped with 1892 in com
pany with two other men and a wo-
man in a motor car The man who
committed the robbery was seen in
town about four hourse previous to
the deed. He arrived on train from
Topeka and spent the time walking
quietly about the village. T. H..
Moore, boOkkeeper at the Jarbalo
State Bank, noticed while he was
cashing check for farmer that
man was looking through the window.
When the farmer left the man walked
calmly up to the cashiers window,
reached to his inside coat pocket as
though for check and drew out re-
volver. The weapon was flashed In
the bookke eper's face with the old
order Of throw up your hands"
Moore complied and when ordered
to bring out all the money in the bank
he went to the vault, bringing out
two trays, containing 1892 in gold
and currency. The bookkeeQer ex
planned that the bank had enjoyed
heavy run and that there was no more
money. The ruse worked.
The robber ordered Moore into the
vault. Both doors were shut on the
bookkeeper, but the combination lock
was not turned and he was able to
free himself within ten minutes,
when the alarm was spread. Shortly
before the robber entered the bank
Jarbalo citizens were shocked at the
actions of woman In company with
two men driving into town in motor
car. All three were laughing, drink
ing and smoking cigarets. The motor
car pulled up in front Of the bank
and stopped for a few minutes. 1t
started on and waited only a block
away until the third man Joined with
the loot. The car started south for
Kansas City.

First Car Load Sold In Saline County
Averaged 25 BusheIs-HarVest
Is Nearly Finiohed.


The first carload of Saline county
wheat of the 1915 crop was sold at
Salina recently. 1t was raised near
Mentor. The yield averaged twenty
five bushels to the acre, tested sixty
one pounds and graded No. 2. Thresh-
ers report the yield in every instance
greater than expected.
A few more days Of weather like
that of the past two weeks and the
Kansas wheat crop from ~ million
acres and the million acres of oats
will be harvested. ]. G. Mohler, sec
rotary of the board of agriculture, has
begun receiving the county crop re-
port sent tn him every month by the
secretaries of the local fair associa-
tions. Throughout Eastern Kansas
where there is a small amount of
wheat and the largest acreage of oats
the reports show the wheat and oats
all in the shock. In Central and West
ern Kansas, where the big acreage of
wheat stands, the harvest will be al
most completed by the end of the
week. The reports all said that the
conditions had been unusually favor
able for the harI est except the need
Of hands in many sections. In South
ern Kansas, where the wheat is ready
to thresh, many machines are unable
to begin work for lack of men.

first load of new what sold in Geary
county recently, rece living 80 cents o
bushel. 1t tested GO pounds. His yield
is twenty bushels to The acre, slightly
better than anticipa ed Threshing

VOTE AGAINST ACT NO. 2.

The News has published consid- erable matter in opposition to Act No. 2 because it believes it to be a very iniquitous and dangerous measure. If it provided for real local option it would have more friends than it now has, but it doesn't If passed it will saddle the saloon on Arkansas under vast ly worse conditions than those that existed before the passage of the prohibition law. as can readily be seen by anyone who will take the trouble to read the text of the act. If you are intending to vote for Act No. 2. first get copy of it and read it through and then if you are still in favor of it there is not much more that can be said to you.
 Arkansas don't want saloons back under any conditions. much less under the provisions of this law.
