BANK 301332113. BALL-till): Would Be Thieves Captured by Citizo After a Hot Fusillade. —~‘.‘ . Odell, Ills., Buskirk, cashier of the McWilliams bank, saved the bank’ steash from a pair of hold ups, and, after chasing the two thieves out of tovvn on' a bicycle; cap- tured them by the aid of some energetic "- Martin Thorn for ‘the alleged murder of citizens and locked them up.- “The would be robbers, 'who afterward gave iheir names as Frank W. Jackson and Harry Howard of New York, came into the bank when there was no one about but the cashier. Dropping a pair of revolvers on him, they grufliy order- ed him to hold up his hands. Instead of obeying, the adroit cashier disappeared behind the counter like a. Jack-in-the- box. The first intimation the robbers had of his exact location was when, six sec-L onds later, a lusty.brace of six shooters appeared over the bulwark of mahog- any, and the cashier opened fire in a general direction, advising his visitors at the same time to “chase themselves.” The thieves accepted the: invitation ,with alacrity, but they had n0- sooner cleared the building than Van Buskirk was after them, shaking the loads out of his six shooters like bails out of 3. r0- man candle. The population of Odell unanimously appeared on the streets, and, headed by the bank cashier on a bicycle, scorch- ed down the main street after the flee- ing robbers. The thieves had a buggy in charge of a small boy waiting on the edge of the town, and they made a swift start down the road as the pursuing crowd of cy— clists and riders hove in sight around the corner. One robber stood up in the buggy and “pumped lead” at the posse, while the other encouraged the horse. The wheelmen were too swift for the stable hack, and the robbers were soon forced to abandon their rig and take refuge in a cornfield. Here they were surrounded and captured after a .short, sharp fight, in which several shots were exchanged. No casualties were occasioned beyond one bicycle tire being punctured by a bullet. It is supposed the robbers are the same who made two attempts to wreck the Wabash pay car between Fairbury and Forest last Saturday. ' ' DEATH or JEAN INGBLCW.

Of these numerous works the books written for children were the most suc- cessful, some of them running to more than half a dozen editions.

New York, July 21.—In order to avoid complications, and possibly a miscar- riage of justice, District Attorney Ol-' cott of this county and District Attor- ney Youngs of Queens county have de- cided that the trial of Mrs. Nack and William Guldensuppe shall be held in Queens county, where the actual mur- der is believed to have been done. The prosecution, if the trial should be held in New York county, would have to rely upon the alleged conspiracy to murder, which is said .to have been hatched in this city, for the conviction of the accused persons. ‘ Goodflawyers are of the opinion that to prove a conspiracy to murder is not sufficient to comply with that provision of the law which says that when a :rime is committed partly in one county and partly in another, either county has jurisdiction over the trial. It is necessary, they contend, to prove some Jivert act in the commission of the ac- .ual deed to make a good case. . District Attorney Olcott has practi- 3ally admitted that his construction of :he law is faulty under which an indict- ment for murder was secured in this county against Mrs. Nack and Martin Phern. He" has decided to transfer the :rial. of the case to Queens county, where the murder was actually done. .According to the agreement said to JaVe been reached by the legal repre- Ientatives of both counties, Mrs. Nack 1nd Thorn will be detained in the l‘ombs until the grand jury of Queens zounty files an indictment against the two. This in the natural course of events would not be until next Sep- tember, when the regular grand jury will meet. A suggestion has been made, :Iowever, to District AttorneyYoungs :hat he urge Governor Black to impanel in extraordinary grand jury for the purpose of considering the Guldensuppe murder at once. Assistant District Attorney David Mitchell of this county, who has had charge of the development of the evi- dence here, will in all probability assist District Attorney Youngs of . Queens county in the trial of Mrs. Nack and Thorn. DISASTROUS STORMS. Several Persons Killed by Lightning In Ohio—Damage Elsewhere.
