A Bank Burglar’s Bold Triok. lowa Oity, la.—One of the most darißg exploits of a gang of borglars which narrowly esoaped sucoess has just come to light here. For a few days previous to a bold attempt to rob the Bank of Wellman, a town near this eity, iour suspieious men were seen boat ihe street, bat it was not dream ed that they had .their eyes on the bank, which has jast recently been started, The cashier is a young man twenty-three years of age. who t carries the keys to the bank, and with the President of the institution is the holy person who knows the combination of the vaults. A few nights agoiwhilo Mr. Moore, the cashier, was spending the ereniig with his prospective bride, a carriage droT up to the house and a etrangor knocked at the door. He demanded with an order of authority to see young Mooro, and taking him to tke buggy grasped him by the shoulder and said; “You are my prls onor.” The cashier was much astonished, j but ho wji.V informed that he was s | forger and that the Stranger was n Pinkerton deicetivfl. and the best thing | that could bs done was for tho cashier to go along with him. Bsid the al leged defective: ‘ If yon want to go to thobsck to gat any money or paper* that you need I will go with you. bnt lamia a great harry.” Mooro sand tie would not go to the bsnk, but that £■• had a f: end he would like to seo to 1 orrow soma mouey from it he had to bo taken away. At this poiof a country doctor catno tip, being a friend of Moore, asked to see the papers on which the latter bad been arrested. Tha bogus datcati've said, “I am a Pinkerton man and i dont have to show my papers.” Then M>ore was taken to the friend be wanted to so>, who proved to be the Prasi lent of tbs bank, Mt. Nieho las, who wanted to know why Mocs was arrested, and who finally said that it would be best for M >ore io go with the officer. The pretended deieotive started out to take his prisoner to loWa City. Tim arrest moused some half dozen people ia the small town and tbe doteetivo seemed in a hnrry to get off. Finally ho started and when a little way from the village ho gave Moore something to drink from a bottle, In a few minutes ho ws violently ill. He is still sick from the inlluence of tha drug that was undoubtedly admiuister to him. When lowa City was reached the man told Moore he was sorry, but he made a mistake. He had found a telegram at the livery barn informing that a mis take had been made, and that he was the wrong Moore. The men then separated, Mooro going homo and the protended detective tak ing a train North, From investigations made within the last fewd vs it is pretty certain that Moore was in the custody of I a burglar. It is believed that had the bogus detective succeeded in getting his man olf without arous ing the president of the bank and 8 > many other citizens he would h ive taken him to the bank and forced him to tell the rest of the gang the combinations of the vaults which then held over $25,000. llow He Was Placated. A friend of mine related to me last night his experience in recon ciling a testy old fellow to the mar riage engagement of his favorite daughter My informant being a discreet and benevolent character and intimate with all the persons concerned, was persuaded by the young people to intercede on their bo half. He undertook the task wi th no little hesitation, and the reception which his overtures met was not calculated to raise any hopes He began by representing to paterfamiliars the exceeding clev ernoss of his would-be-son-in-law and the brilliant future which lies before him This, however, pro duced not the least effect, and he succeeded no better when he fell back upon the young man's fine moral qualities and solid worth. At last the potential father-in-law exclaimed: “Now, , you have told me a lot of stuff in praise of this fellow who wants to marry my daughter—be honest, and say what there is to be said against him.” Being thus taken in flank, as it were, the family friend, a ridicu lously conscientious person, admit ted, with some hesitation, that the matrimonial aspirant is rather un popular, that his manners are not pleasant, that he is supposed to be sullen at times, elc. “Humph!” said the old gentleman, “has he mauy friends?” The go-betweeu confessed “I am afraid not!” The old man says,“well, I have no ob jection to the match!” Gunnels.
