national bodies of the Grand Army of tlm
lopuhllc resumed tholr session this morn-

The committee on the address of the corn-

The committee to devise ways and means

The committee on pensions/ presented a
very lengthy report. .Regarding tlio disabil
ity act of Juno. ftRK ) , the report says : "This
net was accepted by the surviving soldiers
and by the people ns a settlement of the
question. Under the administration of that
law the poorhoiiso gave up its veterans.
The men who had * berne the battle were
cared for and the sacred trust accepted and
left as a legacy to the nation was faithfully
administered.
Within a few months wo hear wltli pro
found sorrow and"regret that ulLithis must
bo changed ; that tbo construction of the
law has been changed and the regulations
nnd rules In reference to proof and ratings ,
under which more than aoo.OOO claims have
been allowed and paid , have boon revoked ,
and another construction of.ttla.law baa been
established and now regulations for proof
and ratings , less fnvorublo. to claimants ,
have been adopted ; that a board .of revision
has been organized in thd 'pension ofllce ,
charged with the duty of ravlslnull.thoso
adjudicated claims in accordapco" with this
now construction and auch changed regula
tions as to proof and ratings. Under the
changes thousands of pensions have been
suspended without notice and thousands of
pensioners have been dropped from the rolls.
"To emphasize the viciousncss of the
situation and accusation , wo Ica'rn that it is
said , ns tnough by authority , that 'It is ex
pected that any of the pensioners so sum

There Is considerable talk in Grand Army
of the Honubllc circles today about the
selection of Colnmandor-in-Chief Adams. It
is claimed that Governor McKInley was on his
way to this city for the purpose of placing
General Hurst of Ohio In nomination for
that oflico : thru Adams' adherents learned
of this nnd rushed through the election of
Adams. Governor McKlnley , Hurst's friends
say , was taken to a "frooshow" nt Arm
strong park wtilltj this was Roiniron. It Is
the tlrst. time that tbo national olllccra have
been chosen on the first "day of the conven

Of the various public displays and enter
tainments In honor of tro Grand Aiiuv , that

elaborately built nhd. accompanied by bril
liant pyrotechnic displays. The streets were
thronged with people.

, Colo. , Sept. 7. The most daring
robbery over consummated in this part of
Colorado occurred heroin broad daylight
: hls morning , the object of the attack bclnff
Iho Farmers and Merchants bank , nnd whllo
iho sum secured was small the robbery' -
suited hi the death of three people , the
cashier of the bank and two of the highway
men who muilo the attack.
Tno robbery was planned on the lines of
-hoso that have been so successful in Ivnnsas
.owns , particularly nt Coffoyvlllo , where the
-Xiltons secured so mush lunnoy last year ,
t'ho belief is that tlio bandits , If not iiicin-
) crs of that pang , have , nt least , been Iden
tified in other robberies of ti simitar nature.
Killoil thu Cnslilor.
Thu bank opened for business ni usual nt
10 o'clock this morning. At 10:30 : three
mounted men rode up to tlm door of the
Dank and , entering quickly , rushed up to A.
V. Hlachly , cashier , presented guns and do-
niumtcd what money ho had. The cashier
refused to give It up. The robbers then
made a grab through the window , secured
? . ' > 00 and opened llro. Th o cashier fell , being
Instantly killed. The robbers then fired nt
H. II.VooIbcrt , assistant cashier , but
missed him.
J.'ho shooting attracted the attention of
the citizens and Hay Simpson , u lending
hardware merchant and a dead shot , run for
his Winchester niul started for the alley In
the roar of the bank where the robbers had
tied tll"'r ' horses. The robbers had started
out of town when Mr. Simpson got there ,
but ho succeeded In killing two of them by
shooting them through the head. A third
shot killed ono of the robber's horses nnd to
gether the man and animal fell to the
ground.
After killing two of the robbers Mr. Simp
son continued after the third ono , taking
several shots nt him , but without effect.
Mr. Simpson then returned to thu town , and ,
getting together a posse , started at once In
pursuit.

The robbur Is thought to have about n mlle
start and is mounted on a line horse , going In
the direction of the mountain' . T ; , the out
law Is acquainted with the country there is
u chance of his escape , otherwise the possO'
will capture him dead orallvo. In the latter
case ho will undoubtedly bo lynchetfon his
return hero.
The two dead , robbers were also well
mounted and the horse that was not killed
was caught by the citizens. Four hundred
dollars was recovered from their persons ,
the escaping robber carrying away the other

The suspicion that the men Implicated in
the robbery are remnants of the famous
Dal ton gang seems to bq general. They nro
not known hero and their idcntltlcation bus
not yet bocn secured. The do.ul bandits are
both young men of fair complexion nnd ono
of them strikingly handsome. The coroner
has taken their remains in charge.
Mr. Blauhl.y , the dead cashier , was un old
resident of this pluco and leaves u wife and
a large family of young children , fie oldest
being probably 15 years of ago. Ho uud n

Up to 10 o'clock tonight no word has been
received from the pursuing party. It is
led by Simpson , the man who u good aim
