Tries To Hold Up
Official In Bank

FL Dorado. May 13.--An uniden-
titled white man entered the First
National bank here about 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. presented a
bulky letter to C. II. Murphy, vice
president of the institution, and
stood by while he read the first
paragraph.
Now hand over the money or I'll
drop this terrible gas shell and it
will blow you and your bank to
hell" said the stranger in a gruff
voice.
In his hand, the man held a pack
age about II inches long wrapped N
a newspaper.
Mr. Murphy stopped reading the
15-page missive and gave close at
tention to the unwelcome visitor.
The man told the banker that he
wanted $4,000 in bills of speci-
fled denominations. He told Mr..
Murphy how, when and where to
deliver the currency.
But the stranger made the mis-
take of talking too loud.
Several employees of the bank
overheard a portion Nof his threats,
and came from behind and seized
the man. Officers were called, and
the man was taken to the city Jail.
He probably will be given hear
ing today.
The "bomb" carried by the man
proved to be small type Of Il

guishor.

Whitney has several good entries,

The only note of criticism, now
that everything is in readiness for

conduct of the management in post
poning the Derby event so that it
comes on the same day as the Freak

however, SENS to have done no
particular harm, as interest is as

been run off in this historic spot
since Aristides won the event in
1875.

Alexandria Place of Remarkable

gate of Egypt, where in these days
there are riots, confusion and turmoil.
It lives in the mind as the home OF
the widest contradictions, a place
adorable and detestable, sacred and
vile.
