BOLDNESS OF THE ROBBERS. They Made a Nice Address and Everything Appeared to Be Working Smoothly Until The} \Vero Greeted by 3 Shower of Bullets. DENVER, Oct. 16.—According to the latest advices from Meeker, 0010., which‘ is 90 miles from the nearest telegraph ’of- ice, the three men who were killed there in a fight with townspeople after robbing the bank have not been positively identi- fied. The robber who lived two hours aft- er being shot gave names which are be- lieved to be fictitious. It is believed that one of the robbers is Thomas McCarthy, who aided in robbing banks at Telluride and Delta. The names given by the dying robber were: Charles Jones, leader of the bandits, age 46; William Smith, age 21, and George Harris. age 35. The injured are: W. H. Clark, shot in the, right breast, not fatally hurt; Victor Dikeman, shot through the arm, and C. A. Booth, scalp Wound. _ The robbery was one of the most daring .cver perpetrated in the west, taking place in broad daylight and at a time when there were 20 or more persons in sight. George Rooney, clerk of the Meeker hotel, had stepped into the bank, which is lo- cated in the general merchandise store of J. W. Hogus, to make a deposit and stood talking to the assistant cashier, David Smith. As he turned to leave he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, and. glancing up looked into the muzzle of a revolver. The man with the revolver commanded “Hands up!” At the same instant two shots rang out, and two bullets whizzed by the head of the assistant cashier, who also threw‘up his hands. In the mean- time tbe two other robbers had covered the crowd in the store, compelling them to assemble in the center of the room and guarding both doorways. Then Moulton, the cashier, was called out, and one of the men said to him, “Open the safe and be quick about it.” The cashier was conducted to the safe, which he opened, and the contents of the drawer, $700, were emptied into a sack which the robbers had brought with them. After getting the money in the till the robbers quietly took possession of all of the firearms in the place, helping them- selves to cartridges, etc. Robbers Made 3 Speech. They then addressed the crowd, bank officials, employees of the store and cus- tomers who happened to be in the place, saying that the horses were standing hitched outside the rear door, which opened on a side street, and that they would re- quest every one to go outside with them. The crowd filed through the doorway, fol- lowed by the robbers. ' The robbers were not aware that the place was surrounded until all were out. The crowd that they had driven from the store broke and ran for cover. The resi- dents Of the town had been warned by the two shots fired in the store, and having armed themselves surrounded the bank and quietly awaited the appearance of the robbers. W. H. Clark noticed that the three horses were fastened at the rear door, and surmislng that the robbers would leave by that route took up his 'station a short; distance from the back door and con- tered more men at this place than any other, not neglecting, however,.to keep the front door also watched». ' When the robbers saw that they wore cornered, Charles Jones fired at Clark. The bandits were commanded to hold up their hands, but answered with a fusillade of shots. Jones and Smith fell to the ground riddled with bullets. Harris con- tinued fighting until he was killed. The dead men were removed to an'un- dertaker’s establishment, where an inquest was held, rendering a verdict of justifiable homicide. The money was all recovered. It is believed here that the robbers were members of the McCarthy gang, which is known to have committed several daring train» and bank robberies in Oregon, Mon- tana, Washington and Colorado. It is also supposed that the man who robbed David H. Moflatt, president of the First National bank in this city, of $21,000 was a member of the gang. The McCarthys formerly lived in an out of the way place in Oregon, where they Were regarded as wealthy ranch- men. In an attempt to rob the bank at Delta, 0010., about a year ago, John Mc- Carthy and his son were killed, but Thom- as McCarthy escaped. . The Train Robbery In Utah. OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 16.—Officers are still out in search of the robbers who held up the Union Pacific train, but as far as heard from they have found no clew. A bottle of nitroglycerin and several sticks’of dyna- mite have been found near where the train was held up. Three of the registered mail sacks rifled were for San Francisco and four for Sacramento. The Drought In India. SIMLA, Oct. 16.—At the vioeregal coun- cil today the minister of agriculture stated that the local authorities of a large portion of India reported that distress was expect— ed as a result of the drought and the con- sequent rise in the price Of wheat. The construction of government works and the importation of wheat from California would prevent acute famine. \Vhito Squadron In Port. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Admiral. Bunce has reported by telegraph the arrival of the north Atlanticsquadron at Tompkins- ville. In his telegram he makes no refer- ence to the hard experience of the ships in the last big storm, and it is presumed that he will run down to Washington and re- port upon the subject in. person to Score— tary erbert. ‘ Diplomats Call on Olney. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Not for along time past have there been so many mem~ bers of the diplomatic corps at the state department at any one time as called there between the hours of 10 and 1 o’clock to— day.

District Attorney’s omco Is After the Leader of the Despicnblo Coterie—A Hint of “Some Ono Higher Up.” , Schoenholz's Record. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Morris Schoen- holz, the convicted firebug who was brought down from Sing Sing today to ap« pear against other alleged incendiaries, had another conference with Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Vernon M. Davis today. Schoenholz was taken over from the Tombs and was closeted with Mr. Davis for several hours, going over the details. it was said, of his confession. Mr. Davis said that Schoenholz will be taken back to Sing Sing, where he will re- main till later in the month, when he will be brought back to the city to testify in the arson cases against his former associ- ates. ‘ - ‘ Concerning the details of Schoenholz’s confession Mr. Davis refused to talk. “I am keeping that for the trials,” he said. He said enough, howover, to show plain- ly enough that Schoenholz’s statement has been most complete and that the assistant district attorney, at least, believes that it will result in the conviction of all those implicated. There are four men seriously comprom- - feed by Schoeuholz’s confession, Mr. Davis said. They are Louis Warsaeur, Isaac Zucker. Max Blume and Abraham Krone. The evidence concerning them furnish- ed by Schoenhe'lz, Mr. Davis added, is cor- roborated in every particular by other wits nesses. In relation to the character of Schoenholz’s testimony and its probable credibility, Mr. Davis said-2 ., , “He has stood all the tests that; I have applied to other infamous witnesses. I can detect absolutely no indication of any malice or any motive for revenge whatever. . He has neither seen nor talked to any of our other witnesses either since his arrest or during his confinement, yet the star; he tells coincides with theirs in the most remarkable manner. “He is mine absolutely—at least he says he is. I am confident that he would not see any other lawyer. He is done with them, I believe; so I am certain I can rely on his adhering to the story he has told me. ‘As he did not go on the stand when he was convicted, he has no sworn testi- mony to contradict. “Schoenhoiz has been promised nothing, expects nothing. I may say that his own confession shows the: there was nothing in the theory that he was innocentmnd Herschkopf alone guilty, which was ad- vanced when the latter was convicted.” More to COme. Although Mr. Davis seems confident that the revelations made by Schoenholz will result in the convictionof those im- plicated, still he does not think that they have yvt got to the bottom, or rather the top, oi rfze firebug ring. Wh: n. he refused to go intohdetalls on this lwn'l as on others, he admitted that it was his opinion that there were persons still hi :her up in the conspiracy. ‘: Among those that Schoenholz’s confes- sion touches Zucker and Krone are said to be the biggest ones in the puddle and the biggest ones yet directly connected with the ring. Both, Mr. Davis said,, were fairly wealthy men. They were formerly in the clothing business, and each is sup- posedly worth from $50,000 to $60,000. Both of them, as well as Louis Warsaeur and Blume, the other two implicated by Schoenholz in his confession, are now un- der $15, 000 bonds, pending the hearing of the arson charges against them. Schoenholz has something of arecord himself, as the term of 48 years which he is now engaged in serving at Sing Sing would indicate. He was sentenced on Oct. 18 last year, after having been convicted of setting fire to the apartments of Harris Deutsch, in a tenement house at 285 East Fourth street. Previous to that he had served a year in the Kings County penitentiary for arson. Major Harries Runs 3 Railroad. WAsnINGTON, Oct. 16.—Major George II. Harries has been elected president of the Metropolitan street railway system of this city. Major Harries is well known in this city and elsewhere as a newspaper writer and from his connection with the national guard, of which he is the inspector general of rifle practice. As a newspaper man Major Harries has had much expe- rience among the Indians during several of their outbreaks in the northwest.

Martinoili, the papal delegate, and Sbaretti, his assist- ant, left here today for New York to meet Cardinal Satolli prior to his departure for Rome.

On the inside of the upper part of my limbs, reat red blotches would appear, and as soon as I became warm, the burning and itch- ing'would begin. Night after night I would lie awake and scratch, and almost go wild. I got a box of CUTICUBA, and a bottle of Concern Rn- sonvnx'r, and after a few applications I m ticed the redness and inflammation disappear; before 1 had used one box there was not a sign ofEczema left. I can truthfully assert that $2.00 worth of Cnrrconafiuxanrrs cured me. JOHN D. FORTE. Pittsburg, Pa.
