Tho most dar ing robbery ever, consummated In this part of Colorado occurred here In broad, daylight this morning, tbe object of attack being the Farmers' & Merchants' bank, and while the sum secured was small the robbery resulted In tbe death of three pepele, the cashier of the bank and two of the htghwuyineu who made tbe attack. Four hundred dollars were recovered from tbe persons of the dead robbers, the escaping robber carrying away $100. Tbe suspicion that tbe men implicated lit tbo robbery are a remnant of the famous Dalton gang seems to be gen eral. Tbey are not known here and their identification has not yet been se cured. Blaohley, the dead cashier, was an old resident pf this place and leaves a wife and large foral'y of young chil dren, the oldest being probably fifteen years of age. At 10:30 o'olook throe mounted men rode up to tbe door of the bank, and entering qulcklyj. rushed up to A. F. Blachley, tbo cashier, presented guns and demanded what money he had. The cashier refused to give up. Tho robbers then made a grab through tbe wlokot, securing $500 and opened fire. Tbe cashier fell, being instantly killed. Tbe robbers then fired atN. H.

At today's session of the Grand Army of tbo Ra public encampment tbo committee on pensions presented a lengthy report re garding the disability act of June 1800 and the recent suspensions. The re port says: ""This act was accepted by tho sur viving soldiers and by tbe people In general as a settlement cf tbo question. Within a few months we hear with profound sorrow and regret that all this must be changed. To omphaslze tho viclousnoss of tho situation and ao cusatlon wo loarn that it is said, as though by nuthorlty.tuat it Is expected that many of the pensioners so sum marily suspended or dropped will be able to prove that they are entitled to pensions of whloh they have been de prived, thus saying in no uncertain voice that tbe burden Is not upomiB party alleging fraud, but that the'p? ernmont which tbey have represented I shall brand with infamy by tho charge, then sentence and after the stigma shall have been effected, then concede to them whoso barriers and support of oharaoter has thus boon undermlnded tbo pitiful privilege or moving for 'a new trlul upon the ground of new evi dence. "We deny that the secretary of tho interior and commissioners of pension baye any such powor. We insist that tbe adjudicating divisions of tbe pen sion ofllce, acting under tho supervision of the commissioner of peuslons and secretary of tho interior, aro tribunals established by authority of law for tho settlement of pension claims. Their decisions are entitled, to full foltbaad credit and cannot be legally impeached when a change of administration oc curs, except for fraud. We insist that when a change Is made they must and should be limited in their operations to tbe future work of tbe ofllce and not that of tbe past. "Bo It further resolved that no tbe commissioner of pensions, by his recent withdrawals of obnoxious rulings wbloh have been so generally condemned, has virtually acknowledged tho incorrect ness of suoh rulings. We deem It his further duty at once to restore to tho rolls the thousands of pensions now standing illegally suspended." The report waa.unnnlmously adopted and the encampment Instructed tbo commandor-ln-chlef ta carry tho ques tion of tho legality of tbe suspensions of pensions up to the supremo court of the United States. Tbe convention of the Women's Re lief Corps elected and Installed the fol lowing ofllcers this afternoen: Presi dent, Mrs. Amantba J. Waters, of Min nesota, senior vice president, Mrs, N. B.Anderson of Califernia: treasurer, Mrs. Gordon of Kansas; counclllorMrs, G. V, Sherlfl of Pennslyvanla, Tbe convention adopted resolutions denouncing Hoke Smith for dropping pensioners from the rolls and declared that the administration was Justified In putting trtty ex confederate soldier who served the government In putting pown the rebellion on tho pension roll, rather than to find some frivolous ex cuse for rejecting claims for pension. There is considerable talk in Grand Army circles about the selection of Commander-Iu-Chlef Adams at yester day's session. It la claimed that Gov ernor MoKlnley was on his way to tbbi city for the purpose of placing General nurst, of Ohio, In nomination for that high ofiloe, and that Adams' adherents learned of this and rushed through hie friends say, was taken to "a free show" at Armstrong Park while this was go ing on. It Is the first time national officers have been chosen an tbo flrot day of the convention, nud this, It Is claimed, tends to show plausibility to the unap-eleotlon theory. THEY ARE INSANE. Throe Men Leave Astoria for the State Asylum. A8TOUIA, Sept. 7. Three candidates for the state Insane asylum were taken up tbe rlvor tonight. B. N.

Lost night he escaped from two men who had been set to watch him and screaming that he was Ifolng to the world's fair, swam across the river. Wkou he readied the other side "he turned again and swam back, entering tbe house while tbo family and bis guards were out searching for his body along tbe bank. Oa their re turn be barricaded himself and nearly strangled the men when tbey climbed in at a window to capture him. Sher iff Smith and his deputies chartered" a steamer and wont over to tho ranch, capturing the maniac after a hard struggle and bringing him to town. O. P.

CuiOAao, Sept. 7.A blunder made in the office of the train dispatcher of the Pennsylvania railroad yesterday caused the loss of 12 lives and injury to a score of people. The accident, which occurred sear Colehour, only 14 miles from tbe city, appears to be the result of an inexcusable blunder. Two trains wero scheduled to pass south on a sin gle track between i'olebour and Ham mond, Tnd., at tbo same time a train was due north on the same track. Or ders wero given the operator at Cole hour for two of tbo trains, but nona for the third. The Panhandle express tralu.whloh left tulsclty about8 oelek, was allowed to enter a single track run ning at a rate of 40 miles an hour, di rectly toward a milk train which bad been given the right of way In the op posite direction on the same trsok. Tbe express bad proceeded bat a short distance when tbo collision occurred. Tbe engine crews saved their lives by- Jumping boforo the two locomotives came together with a crash that wrecked them and drovo the baggage car of the express completely through tbo smoking car behind it. It this car there were about 40 people, and in It tbo loss of life occurred. When tho engineers of the colliding trains sighted each other, eomlug around tbe curve, they made every ef fort to check tbolr trains, but with lit tle effect, and whon about 100 yards from each othor tbey Jumped. Th scenes around tbe wreck were agonis ing. Dead and wounded were pinned down lu such a manner that betas tb wrecking tralu arrived it won altnoet Impossible to extricate any of the bod ies. Iu the meantime the cries of the dying were terrible to hear. Blood from the mangled ones soaked its way downward and made puddles of red ssnd. Outside, through fragments of the debris, could be seen arms, legs, mangled heads sud discolored bodUp. Anson Temple, of Chicago, one of tbe killed, was manager of tlte Boullter theater and ono of tbe best known youuK men In the city. Tiw!Ut tb crews of both train, and A. B.
