Gentry, Ark.—In_a futile attempt
to ‘blow open the safe of the Farm:
ers bank at Springtown, near here,
the head of one of the robbers was
blown from his shoulders by a pre-
mature explosion of dynamite.
The body of the dead robber was
found in the bank near the safe. In
his pocket was a map showing Gen-
try, Springtown and Sulphur Springs
marked with crosses.
Banks™ at the two latter places
have been robbed lately, and the po-
lice are led to the belief. that the
same gang attempted to rob the
Farmers bank today. The identity
of the dead robber is not known.

North Side. At Rush and Ohio streets
Campion was attacked and robbed and
left’ unconscious at the basement en-

to applicants free of charge for
transportation from the offices of the
treasurer or the several assistant
treasurers of the United States.
The policy of shipping to bankers
silver coin free of express charges
was adopted about 25 years ago, when
it was deemed desirable to stimulate
the general circulation of silver, and
this policy has been continued to the
present time. During ‘the last sev-
eral years, however, the subject of
permanently discontinuing this ap-
propriation, especially as to standard
silver dollars, has been under fre-
quent discussion in congress, and the
opinion ig expressed that the govern-
ment *no longer having any interest
in extending the use of silver
coin, the present congress may de-
cide not to make any further appro-
priation for that purpose.
Shipments of subsidiary silver will
continue to be made as usual as the
appropriaticn fer that purpose is not
exhausted. The shipments of stand-
ard dollars during the last several
years has averaged about $40,000,000.
and during the crop-moving period
the shipments have averaged as
much as. $1,500,00 a month.

Louis Irwin of Pittsburg, Testifies at
Ouster Suit in Cleveland.
Cleveland, O.—Louis Irwin of Pitts-
burg, Pa., who was associated with
the South Improvement Company,
one of the early factors in the devel-
opment of the petroleum
was a Witness in the hearing of the
government ouster suit against the
Standard Oil Company.
He said ‘each Standard refinery
fortherly - shipped only a certain
amount of cil, thus the output was
restricted and the price increased.
“This arrangement was profitable,”
he said. . r :
Irwin stated that the Standard,
thrergh the National Transit Com-
pany, paid a-premium of -as high as
25 cents a barrel for oil, which. kept
the product away from the independ-
ent refiner. He said that was the
“handwriting on the wall for the in-
dependents.” Irwin attributed the
closing of so many independent re-
fineries in 1873 and 1874, however, to
the panic of 1873.

The run on the Pati bank, the po-

who - was acquitted by the coroner
of having killed Pelletro. ‘When
the run was at its height police re-
serves ‘were rushed 'to the district to
quell the fast rising disorder.
Plastered on the window.of Pati’s
bank, the most remarkable notice of
a suspension probably ever posted,
was read by hundreds after the bank
closed its doors. It read:

and thousands of dollars was blown

miners in the vicinity of Maynard, O.,
was arrested on one state and two
government warrants.
The nature of his alleged offense
was the opening of letters coming
from the old country, from which he
extracted wvarioug ‘sums of meney.
It is alleged that, he wrote letters
to friends and relatives of local for-
eigners in the old country, and, frau-
dulently signing, gave instructions to
but the box number on the address.
Thus he received the mail of per-
haps a dozen or more, so it is
charged, and it is estimated that the
foreigners within the past several
months have lost thousands of dollars
at the hands of Kocholich.
He is now confined in the Maynard
