The employes had arrived at the bank and placed the cash, $1,500 in the drawers and on the counter for the day's business when the robbers struck. Three of the bank employes and several customers were in the bank when three men entered and in a business like manner advanced to the counters and ordered the bank offi cials as well as the customers to re tire to the rear of the bank com partment and lay down, the order be ing promptly complied with. One of the man gathered up the money in sight and as the safe was not yet opened did not bother to force the opening of the safe. Two of the bank employes were taken in charge by the robbers and forced to accompany them, being taken to the edge of town where they were released. The robbers were cool and business like in their work and in a few moments had committed the robbery and were on their way. No trace of the robbers had been received altho the alarm was given at once following the robbery. The description of the bandits is said to resemble those of the trio that robbed the Merchants National bank of Nebraska City last week. This makes three bank holdups in the state within a week, the bank at Nebraska City last Wednesday and the Security State bank at Norfolk on Friday. The sum of $5,000 was taken in the Nebraska City holdup and $10,000 at Norfolk. OMAHA LAD FATALLY shot Omaha.

John reached for the gun, he sadi, and as he touched it, the gun was discharged. CHICAGO PR0SPEHS BY FAIR Chicago. A Century of Progress a 400 million rtollar Idea. Tnis was the answer of the Chicago Associa tion of Commerce to those who ask what value an inspiration can be. For the fair, whose success has matched the courage of its promoters, has brought that amount, 400 mil lions, to Chicago in less than five months and has made this city one of the brightest spots on the Amer ican economic map. The figure, released for the first time as the exposition nears its clos ing date, Nov. 12, wa3 called "con servative" by Paul Running, trade promotion director of the association. He said: "The fair has brought mil lions of new money to Chicago. The money has been spent here by out of town visitors:-' We base our figure on conservative estimates of business leaders of the city and on careful sur veys of our own experts." ACQUIT FARMER OF KILLING Aberdeen, S. D. Paul Lucas, farm er near Rudolph, was acquitted of a charge of manslaughter which grew out of the slaying of John Morrow, 11 years old, w7io was snot to death ast July when Lukas fired a shot gun at intruders he believed were stealing his chickens. Judge Van Buren heard the case without a Jury, the first instance on record here in which a major felony was tried under such circumstances. Judge Perry, in announcing his decision, declared "one would not be Justified in shoot ing a mere trespasser, but I am un able to subscribe to any roctrine which would mean a farmer must stand by passively while his property is being stolen." Entire Bond Issue at Omaha Found Forged City Officials Express Belief That Total of Bogus Paper Will Be $400,000. Omaha. City officials expressed the belief that an entire issue of Om aha street improvement bonds, to taling $400,000 had been counter feited. The full extent of the forgery will not become known until Nov. 1, when interest coupons are due to be presented for payment, city heads stated. City Comptroller Stenicka believes the entire original issue of $400,000 was counterfeited. The city, he add ed, will refuse to pay on the forged coupons. The original bonds were is sued in 1925 and are in strong demand. The forgery, city officials said, came to light when a representative of a South Dakota financial house who had sold bonds to a Chicago bond concern, told the Chicago firm the bonds were forgeries. The South Da kota man returned the money he had been paid and asked that the bonds be called in. Saturday it was learned that $25,000 worth of the bogus bonds were In Omaha. These were being called in. Officials said the coupons on the forged bonds were excellent copies of the originals, but that the signatures of Stenicka, City Clerk Hoctor, the late Mayor James Dahlman and for mer Secretary of State Marsh on the bonds themselves, are crude and easily discernable as forgeries to those fa miliar with the signatures of the men. At least $22,000 worth of the bogus bonds appeared on the Chicago market and another bloc appeared in New York, officials said. THE HAZEL McOWEN PLAYERS STILL UNDER THE CODE Washington.

Mr. Moody, the leading man and manager, tells us that the present company Is by far superior to any which has so far ap peared under the McOwen banner The company has been intact for two years and are up in plenty of mighty fine shows and vaudeville. Nine months were spent at the Grand the atre in Davenport, Iowa, last year and the same productions which ex tended their stay in that large city will be shown here. There are 12 people in the com pany and the opening play will be "The Man I Love." which is a fast, breezy comedy drama and absolutely new to this territory. The Hazel Mc Owen Players need no introduction to the lovers of flesh shows as their plays have alway3 been clean and highly entertaining. The years they have played this territory is sufficient proof that the above remarks may be depended upon. Hazel and Ralph head the cast, and the others are Earl and Joye seen several seasons with the Original McOwen Players. Cecil and Ruth Phelps are headliners in their respective lines, and Mr. Mr. Phelps is known as "That Differ ent Comedian." Dwight Merriam 13 the pianist and entertainer who will show you what can be done when you have to do it all yourself. The Mack Brothers are two of the fastest dancers ever seen here, and while the company was laying off last week, they were engaged to head the vaude ville bill at the Orpheum in Lincoln. Fred McCord, the advertising repre sentatives will be seen in character parts and specialties. Fritz and Wil liams make up the remaining mem bers and have charge of the produc tions and vaudeville. The price is only 10 and 25c and one lady will be admitted free with each paid adult ticket. Remember the date, Friday night, Nov. 3 at the Platz theatre. FOR SALE Spotted Poland-China male pigs.
