One Killed? One Wotfnded and-One
Escapes,
La Guandk, Or., Ojt. 2. The bank
of Joseph was robbed by three men,
between 2:30 and 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. One of tho robbers was
shot dead, another one wounded and
the third escaped with the swag
toward the mountains. From all ac
counts it was a most daring piece of
work. Three men came up to the
bank together with their faces black
ened, as means of disguise. There
were four customers in the bank at
the time. They were ordered under
cover of a double-barrelled shotgun to
throw up their hands and the same
injunction was given to J. D. Mc
Cully, acting cashier. Ono of the
robbers climbed over the railing and
got access to the cash drawer aud
vault and u third one stood guard at
the door. The cashier wa3 compelled,
to open up all receptacles likely to
contain money, and all of the funds
on hand amounting -to about $2000
was swept Into a sack which tho rob-
bar carried.
In the meantime people on the out
side discovered what was going on,
two men, Fred Wagner, armed with
repeating rifle and also Donelly, with
shot gun, prepared to give the band
its a warm reception as they emerged
from the bank. Four persons In the
bankjffernmrchedoujtajiead.and as
the robber who had the sack, named
iWvn, came out he was immediately
shot down. The roobcr who guarded
the door, named Tucker, also fell from
bullet wound but the third robber Cy.
Fitzhugh, ran and grabbed the sack
and dropping his gun reached his
horse and escaped. In the fulisade
between the robbers and citizens,
about 23 shots were exchanged.
Before attempting the Job the rob.
bers. had stacked some guns and am
munition outside of town where they
expected to make a stand In case
they were pursued. Fitzhugh the
fleeing bandit, went to this place and
re-armed himself and struck for the
mountains In directlonof Cornucopia.
At the time of leaviug he took a shot
at a citizen who chanced to be coming
In his direction, but the bullet did no
further damage than to pass through
his clothing. A posse started In pur
suit and followed Fitzhugh till late
last night, but no '.news from them
has yet'beeu received.
Tucker, the wounded robber, made
a clean breast of the plan or the rob
bery. All three of the highwaymen
have been In Wallowa for wmic time.
By this time the report that the
bank was being robbed had reached
the citizens, several of whom armed
themselves and awaited tho appear
ance of the robbers.
As the robbers made their exit from
the bank, Alex Donnelly, a man 25
years old, opened Are, killing one of
the robbers Instantly, and wounding
another, hitting the latter twice.
The third robber, who had the sack
containing the coin, succeeded in
reaching and mounting a horse, after
dropping his gun. He then made off
over the hills toward rralrle creek,
afterward turning toward Cornu
copia. The robber who was killed was
named Brown, and the ono who es
caped is Cy Fitzhugh. The latter had
been working for Mrs. Proebstel, on
Prairie creek. The name or the
wounded robber is unknown, although
TUfM-
(JfUtUI
v
been
he is recognized as having
around Joseph for home time.
The escaped robber Is described as
being a low, Wavy-set man, with
sandy hair aud mustache, of medium
weight, r feet Inches In helghl,
weighs about 150 pounds, and is about
23 years old. Ha wore a black coat
and small slouclr hat, and was riding
a small horse. A reward of $500 has
been offejed for his capture aud the
return of the mdnjy.

Lane County.
Euuene, Oct. 2.- Senator Mitchell
did not exert thegreat Influence on
the silver voters ui take them back
into the Republican ranks that had
been expected. At' the conclusion of
his speech Saturday, Ex-Representative
Hillegas, u lifelong Republican
declared himself for Bryan, and If lie
takes the stump as many are urging
him to do, he wjll carry huudieds
with him. Reports all over the
county are encouraging. In Mohawk
precinct a club of oyer 100 members Is
enrolled out of 145 voters, formerly a
Republican precinct. At Florence
tho Bryan club has. 140 members,
where the total Democratic and Pco
les party vote last spring was only
about 175. Sliver men arc on their
mettle and arc forcing the tight and
will carry Lane county by a good ma
jority. FROM STAYTON.
The young ladles of Stayton gave
one of the most delightful leap year
hay-ride parties or tho season Tuesday
evening. They were bound to have a
good time, and thoy had it. The
young ladles embarked for Mr. Kerns1
home, on Broadway, attracting a large
crowd of onlookers, while enroutc for
the young men. They had a spirited
team and they wero bedecked with all
the bells obtainable in town. The
evening was perfect. The ringing of
tho merry bells, and the cheering or
the crowd could be heard for a mile In
the stillness or tho .night. On tho
way down every song that any one
thought of was on the program, and
the selections of muslo were so charm
ing that the watchj( dogs along the
road arose from their-slumbers and
joined In the chorus. About three
miles from town, on -the Turner road,
the party camped in an open space,
among the trees, where tho girls built
a boulire, which fairly illuminated
the heavens, and no doubt caused tho
rowlsor the air to imagine the world
was coming to an end. When all were
comfortably settled around "the old
camp Are," sonic roasted corn on tho
points or long sticks, and baked pota
toes In the hot ashes others amused
themselves by playing out-door games
Until the luncheon hour, when tho
ladies produced an especially prepared
lunch and a huge coffee boiler, from
which hot coffee was served to the
hungry crowd. It was hard work for
the driver, Miss (?) Thomas, to make
the crowd believe the time was at
hand to return home. Tho hours
passed away so quickly that few
thought or leaving.
It looked for a while as ir the only
way was to walk home or go without
tho crowd. The moon reminded the
party that it was morning and all
wero soon ready to make for town.
On the way home a series of church
hyms were sung by all, ending with
"Lord I'm Happy on the Way." The
wagon stopped at the respective
homes or the members or the com
pany. Several invitations were ex
tended to stop in for breakrast. The
following were .among the party:
Mr. and Mrs. Mann.chaperone; MIssob
Sadie Thorpe, Ella Balsley, Cora
Cooper, Minnie Magers, Laura Derby
shire, Ollle Robertson, Susie Kerns,
Pearl Hobson, Mary Crabtrec and
Tempest Dunlvln. Messrs. Giles
Thomas. Joe Kerns, Dayld Smith,

Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 2. Cedar
Keys, Is a place or desolation and
death. A mighty tidal wave swept
over the town Tuesday morning.
Twenty corpses have been rocovercd,
12 whites and 8 colored. The loss of
life at Cedar Keys Is as nothing in
comparison with a number of spongers
and fishermen drowned, of 100 vessels
anchored on sponge bar, below Cedar
Keys, all but twenty were lost, the
boats carried from four to ten men
each. Most of tho victims wore bur
led deep In the mud and many bodied
will probably never bo recovered
Beyond the bar thero aro a score of
masts visible just above water and
each top indicates the burial place of
a sponging schooner and Its crow, It
is possible, but hardly probably, many
vessels were blown out into the gulf,
and rode out the hurricane. It is ex
pected that for several days to come,
corpses of spongers will bo found
along the coast. In Cedar Keys thoso
who escaped death had some terrible
experiences. When the tidal wave
came and overwhelmed the houses,
many of the Inmates floated into tho
water, clinging to pieces of timber?
Others clung to troo tops for hours
until tho water receded. They wero
buffeted by wind and waves aud many
men fainted, clinging oven while un
conscious, with a deatli grip to tho
succumbing limbs.
Many aro still unaccounted for and
their famlllse and friends aro
filled with anxiety, hopelng for tho
best, but fearing the worst. In view
of tho utter destruction wrought by
tuo storm It seems miraculous that
there should bo a single person allvo
in Cedar Kays to-day. Reliable news
from the Western party of Levy and
Alachul counties have Just reached
Jacksonville. Not less than 200 fam
ilies arc destitute. Scores of Injuries
have been reported, with over thirty
fatalities in Levy county.
The town of Necdtnorc was demol
ished. Every house at Yulare, Jud
son and Chlefland were destroyed,
with one or two exceptions, killing
people In both places. The people of
Bronson have Issued an appeal for aid.
Reports from Parker, Suanee, Nassau
and Columbia counties, confirm the
story of death and destruction. The
deatli list lias been increased nearly a
dozen. Columbia county fared very
badly. All the country south of Lake
City Is deyastated. In the Caleb and
Marcum nelchborhood scarcely a
residence or house Is left standing. In
the vicinity of Payne aud Mount
Tabor postoftlces, the destruction was
great. Exclusive of hundreds of
spongers, supposed to havo been
drowned off Cedar Keys, the death
list in the state proper, bids fair to
reach 100. The property loss will run
Into millions. The people seem par
alyzed by tho calamity.
The Bryan Party.
Ciiakleston, W. Va., Oct. 2. At
the depot in this city for more than
au hour a large crowd waited for the
Bryan party. When the train pulled,
in the assemblage cheered and uands
played patriotic airs. A procession
was formed and tho town was tra
versed by the band, the nominee,
mounted police and citizens carriages.
At the public park Bryuu addressed
about 30,000 enthusiastic auditors.

AN "OLD LETTER" FROM- THE MAJOR,
Does Not Interest McKinley Now, but Shows He Was a
"Sliver Anarchist" in 1890.
Akkon, O., Sept. 29. Much interest was aroused at a meeting addressed
by Senator Teller at this place today, when a letter was read by General E.
B. F. Flnley which had been written by Major McKinley to E. S. Perkins, or
Weymouth, Medina county, In tho fall of 1890. Mr. Perkins was at that time
a representative in tho Ohio legislature. Ho had written to Major McKinley
regarding Ills position on tho silver question. Tho major's letter was In
reply:
Committee on ways and means, house or representatives, Washington,
December 27, 1890.
Hon. E. S. Perkins, Weymouth, Ohio Dear Sir: I havo been so busy ror
the past three weeks that it lias been Impossible for me to give any attention
to matters In tho district, which fact I believe my friends will appreciate. I
have been waiting for n moment's timo that I might answer two or three
letters heretofore received from gentlemen in Medina county In relation to
my position on the sliver and other questions.
1 HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF THE FREE AND UN
LIMITED COINAGE OF THE SILVER PRODUCT OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND II AVE SO VOTED ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS
DURING THE TIME I HAVE BEEN IN PUBLIC LIFE.
I was not willing to extend this coinage to the silver or the world, aud
open our mints to foreign countries, without charge, as proposed by gentle
men on the floor or tho house. My purpose was to secure immediate legis
lation that would credit and dignify our silver coin. I bellovo tho law which
wo enacted this session will accomplish that result. It utilizes every dollar's
worth or tho silver product or tho United States and oven more. Tho value
of that legislation has always been apparent In tho enhanced valuo given to
silver.
You may remember, as Indicating my position on this subject, that I
voted to pass the silver bill In the forty-iirth and forty-sixth congresses over
tho veto of President Hayes. I shall lw very glad to write you at any tlmo
upon any subject you may wish to bo Informed upon. With mo political and
economic questions are a conviction, and whllo I may not always bo right, I
am always willing to let thoso whoso suffrage I seek know exactly what thoy
aro. Yours truly,
Wm. MoKinlsy, Jr.
Canton, Sept. 29. Major McKinley had nothing to say about the pub
lished letter said to havo been written by him to S. E. Perkins six years agoi
except that if it was a true copy of the original It doubtless expressed his
views at tho time.
