TWO ROBBERS BAGGED
One Instantly killed and An
other Badly Wounded.
THIRD ESCAPED WITH THE LOOT
First Bank of Joseph, la Wallowa
County. Oregon, Raided and Two
Thousand Dollar Taken.
La Graxde, Or., . Oct.' 1. At 2:20 this
afternoon the First Bank of Joseph, in
Wallowa county, was robbed pf about
$2000 by three men, one of hom is
dead, another, is badly wounded, and the
third is being pursued by a posse of
citizens.
At the time of the hod-op, tbe-e were
four customers iu the bank. Cashier
Miller is in La Grande attending the fair
and J. D. McCully was acting in his
place. In waiting on bis customers,
McCully had occasion to go into the
vault. When he came back and looked
up, he was confronted with a shotgun in
the hands of one of the robbers, arid was.
told to throw up his hands. The custom
ers had already complied with this re
.quest, and McCully did likewise.
One of the robbers leaped over . the
railing and opened the private, door,
through which the men in the ;bank
were made to pass, and then they were
lined up against the wall. One robber
took a position at the. outside door and
compelled all passers-by to halt and
throw up their hands. ,In the mean
time the third robber had gone into the
vault. He took all of the currency and
coin, even to nickels, and placed them
in a sack that be carried. Coming out,
he put everything into the sack that he
could find on the Counter. ; He then de
manded from McCully the keys to the
private boxes, and ransacked them.
By this time the report that the bank
was being robbed had reached the citi
zens, several of whom armed themselves
and awaited the appearance of the 10b
. bera.
As the robbers made their exit from
. the bank, Alex Donnelly, a man of 25
years old, opened fire, killing one of the
robbers instantly .and wounding another,
hitting the Utter twice. The third rob
ber, who had the sack containing the
coin, succeeded in reaching and mount-
ing his horse, after dropping his gun
He then made off over the hills toward
. Prairie creek, afterward turning toward
Cornucopia. . ,

Gold is recognized as the universal
standard of, value. It is the measure
that must be used. It is the measure by
Tvhich your wealth must be Rested, . f
The wealth of the -United States is
tested by the same rule. It has been
and always will be the touchstone of
measurement, - and when you depart
from that and try to fignre up any other
measure which the world- does - not
recognize you get into confusion. Sen

Silver, Copper and. Then Paper. -
The owners of copper mines need not
be elated with the ' idea that the argu
ment for cheap silver dollars-' is a still
better argument for cheaper copper'dol

basis. The ultimate resting place for
the Popocrats is foredeterrnineclin their
