KILL TWO.
CASHIER AND CUSTOMER OF A MIN-
NESOTA BANK SHOT.
ROBBERS
. Two Masked Men Enter a Bank, Shoot the
Cashier and a Customer and Make Their
Escape on Bicycles A Large Crowd In
Pursuit.
Faxrmount, Minn., Oct. 8. -Two
masked and bicycle mounted robbers
swept into the little town of Sheibnrne,
14 miles from here, dashed Into the
Bank of Sherburne, murdered the cash
ier and a bystander and secured 1,000
from the cash tray, mounted their
wheels and escaped before the eyes of
the villagers. The affair was conducted
with allthebravadoof the border drama
and the killing of the two men, one of
whom died instantly, was purely wan
ton, as neither made any resistance.
The dead:
J. A. Oerstern, traveling agent of the
"Walter A. "Wood Harvester company, shot
hrough the heart.
Cashier Thorburn of the Bank of
Sherburne, shot in the head.
The crime is paralleled only by the
raid of Jesse James and the' Younger
boys, when they swooped down upon
the little town of Northfield,-a few
miles north of the scene of this crime,
shot the cashier of the bank down and
decamped with a large amount of
money. In that instauce the robbers
departed on horses, whereas these crim
inals, in keeping with the times, used
bicycles in escaping from the enraged
citizens of Sherburne.
' At about 1:30 o'clock two masked
men walked through the front entrance
of the bank to the cashier's box and
without a word, whipped out their re
volvers and levelled them at Cashier
Thorburn, who did not move, but the
nest minute the report of the revolvers
rang out and he fell at his desk. At
another desk stood Oerstern, a traveling
'man, and as Thorburn fell they turned
.'and shot him dead. As rapidly as pos
sible they leaped over the" railing and
secured 1,000 in cash. They then ran
for the back door of the bank, where
they had taken the precautious to leave
their bicvclos, mounted them and rode
away. It all happened inside two' min
utes and the only witness to the deed
was a woman who stood across the
street from the front entrance of the
bank and was attracted by the report
of the revolvers. Sho saw them tnru
on Oerstern, scenro the money and de
camp. As 'soon as possible she gave the
alarm, Thorburn, it was fonud, was
not dead. Oerstoru, however, had been
shot through the heart aud instantly
killed. Thorburn lived two hours, bav
in e received bullets in several different
parts of the body. The town of Slier-
rbnrne contains not morj tlian 3UU in
habitants, but inside of ten minutes sev
eral posses had been lormed ana a
search was at o:ce instituted. Every
town and village in the viciuit has been
warned and their capture is expected at
any moment.

Democracy
Triunmhunt Over tho Com
bined Forces.
Memphis. Tenn.. Oct. 8. Tho Com-
'mercial-Appeal's spooial from Atlanta,
"says Georgiasends her answer to Maine,
and sends it in ringing tonos. Tho Dem
ocrats have won a signal victory. At
midnight the returns received from a
bin- maioritv of the counties indicate a
.plurality for Governor Atkinson, Dem
ocrat, of 35,000, or perhaps 40,000. It
has been tho boast of tho opposition
that Atkinson's majority would bo cut
from its 25.000 two vears aco. Every
possible element antagonistic to Demo
pracy has been arrayed against tne state
ticket in this fight. The Populists com
bined -with tho Prohibitionists, and the
pampaign they have made, has from
the first been a very vigorous
one, They have had many active
agents at work in their behalf.
In the cities the A. P. A.'s have been
fighting from one end of the state to
the other; the Republican leaders have
been usine influence in the interest of
the Populist ticket, opeuly working and
keeping down the Democratic plurality,
whioh is Georgia's answer to Maine and
Vermont. Mnny Democratic gold lead
ers have also workod agaiust tne state
ticket. The conditions point to almost
n Dfimocratic train. Whenever there has
- ,
been -a Democratic loss it has been due
solely to local reasons. Atkiuson's gain
has been less than that received by the
others on tho state ticket. The others
hfivo maioritles of about 40,000. The
legislature is Democratic. The Popu
lists may get four senators and the Re
publicans one; the other 3S will be
Democratic. In the house the Populists
will have about 22 of the 116."

.A TRAIN. BLOWN UP.
SEVEN EC-DIES TAKEN FROM "THE
WRECK AT OSAGE CITY.
Wrecked Train " Was the Eastbound Pas
senger No. 2 Olio of the Terrified Pas
sengers Committed Suicides Engineer
and Fireman Were Both Killed.
Osage City, Kan , Oct. 5. A fright
ful wreck, attended by serious loss of
life and made more terrible by the self
murder of one of the terrified passengers,
occurred at 5 o'clock Sunday morning,
two miles north of this station. Seven
bodies have been recovered from the
wreck and it is feared that other victims
are buried beneath the wreck. The
wrecked train was the eastbound pas
senger No. 2, the same that had such a
thrilling experience with bandits in New
Mexico on Friday night last. The
wreck was caused by the explosion of
the boiler of thejocomotive. The en
gineer should have stopped for water at
Osage City, but being behind time he
endeavored to run to the next tank.
Though - it is not positively known, the
engineer and fireman having both met
death, it is surmised that this neglect
was the cause of the disaster. The train
naa proceeaea dug two mues ueyonu
this place, about to the Peterson chutes,
when two terrific explosions were heard,
one following close after the other. The
locomotive was completely shattered.
The express, baggage and passenger
coaches came crashing upon the wrecked
engine and the coaches that were ahead
were piled up in one heap of wreckage.
The coaches in the rear were all de
railed, but the passengers riding in the
rear escaped serious injury. The wreck
was marked by scenes of the wildest
confusion among the terrified passen
gers. The nerves of many were at a
highjpilch as a result of their experience
with the read agents of New Mexico
and when the crash came the first im
pression of nearly all was that tho train
had been attacked by robbers.
One passenger, "William Beckler of
Los Angeles, Cal., en route to Chicago
seemed to lose his reason entirely.
"When the crash came he drew a single
barrelled pistol from his pocket, and in
tho presence of a car full of terrified
passengers, took his own life, sending a
bullet into his brain. Beckler had been
drinking heavily. Ho was about 55
years of age. Owing to the excitement
and confusion, little could be done to
rescue tho injured and removo the
bodies of the dead until the morning's
sun appeared.
Seven bodies were finally recovered.
The dead arc:
"William Beckler, Lo-, Angeles, Cal.
ENGINEER Stkump, Topcka, Kan. .
Fikejian Harry Hollister, Topelia,
Ran.
William McAdams, tramp, riding on
baggage car, and supposed to D3 from
Chillicotho, Mo.

whom were riding on the baggage car.
Among those injured are: . ,

Evening Telegram at Colorado Springs,
Colo., hand- and arms cut and bruuedv
"Wilford Burns, tramp, lcg3 and:arms
out and'bruLrcd.
James Coleman, tramp, cut and badly
bruised. "
None of the expressmen or mail clerks
were seriously injured.
. The force of the explosion broke the
locomotive entirely in two aud tho front
trucks crashed into a coal chute 30 feet
from the track. The explosion blew a
holo in the ground four feot deep. The
mail car which, followed the tender,
plunged into the hole and rolled over on
its side. The baggage coach, next be
hind, was torn from its trucks and also
rolled, over on its sido. Third from the
locomotive was the express coach which
telescoped tho baggago car and also
rolled over on its side. The smoking
car, a chair car and a tourist sleeper
which was behind the express car were
also derailed and overturned and though
their occupants were badly shaken up
none were seriously hurt. The 'Pull
man coaches in the rear of the train
remained upright, though they were
verv much shaken ud as the train was
running at probably 40 miles an hour,
when tho accident occarred. A track
has been-' built around the wreck and
traffic resumed.
