we bougbt,gettmg all the discounts,
this eaablea us to buy our goods
from 15c to 20 on the dollar less

our large trade (which we again

We know now that we can sell at

make prices this year that no one

We urge and strongly urge every

ilLLEI) A BANDIT LEADER.
Desperado Masquerading as a
Tramp Shot Down m a
Saloon.
Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 17. Ce
dar City, a small town in Callaway
county, opposite this city, and the
terminus of the south branch of the
Chicago & Alton railway, was the
Bcene of an exciting Bbooting affray
this afternoon, which resulted in the
death of the leader of a band of out'
awa and bandits. Early this morn
ing citizens of the village observed
six men begging from door to door.
Four of them were dressed better
than ordinary tramp3 and hobos,
but no attention was paid to them
until this afternoon, when they con
gregated at the saloon of Fred
Elling. After imbibing freely, they
became insulting and abusive to ev
eryone who entered the place, es
pecially so to Charles Gilbert of
Fulton, who came in, accompanied
by his brother.
Gilbert ?reeented their language,
and the leader, drawing a big revol
ver, slipped out of the door and
fired five shots at Gilbert. None of
them struck him. Gilbert then seized
a shot guri that 6tood over the bar
and fired at his assailaat The
charge killed him instantly. The
gaug dispersed, but by this time
Marshal A. J. Trail and deputy
sheriff T. N. Holt reached the scene,
and all of them were run down but
one man,' who eluded them and got
away.
When the men were searched the
officers discovered that they had
more than ordinary bums and hobos
on their bands. On the body of the
dead man were two more big Smith
& Wesson revolvers and a complete
outfit of burglars tools, jimmies,
false keys, 'etc., and a pint of fine
powder, with fuses, etc. Two of
the four nien in custody were also
armed to the teeth and equipped
with burglars' outfits. The other
two prisoners are not belieyed to
have any connection with the gang,
and claim that they are ordinary
tramps, and had only fallen in with
the others that morning.
It is believed that this is the gang
that robbed the train crew on the
Nevada & Minden road and robbed
the r.ofctr,ffice at Nevada the other
night. The clothes of all the men
are full of doal dust, as if they had
rtcently traveled much on the cars
North Jefferson, a station on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, ia but a
mile from Cedar City, and the ban
ditu could have come direetly from
Nevada on that line. Two of the
men in jU here are desperate look
ing men. They pretend to-night to
be ia a drunken stupor. In addition
to searching for the member of the
gang who j escaped, the Callaway
officers are also searching to night
for a lot of the plunder these ban
dits are supposed to have planted

Charles Gilbert, who killed the
leader, is a young man, whose home
is at Fulton. He was not arrested
as the killing was cleaily done in
self defense, but he informed the
officers that he would hold himself
in readiness to answer any charge.
