He was arrested shortly afterward and admitted that the murder was deliberate, declaring that he did not care what became of him.

CHURCH BURGLAR CONFESS

The people who attend and support churches of south Saline, northern Pettis and the eastern part of Johnson county have for several months been greatly provoked and chagrined over petty burglaries of the school houses and churches, without being able to find any clue as to who the evildoers were.
The desecration of the churches and pillaging of seats of learning was not to be endured forever, without some attempt by the people of this section toward ending what had hereto been the successful work of the crooks.
This determination led to a meeting in Blackwater Township, Pettis county, in which plans were discussed to apprehend the guilty parties.
The suspicions of the people led them to believe Richard Dierking, who lives near the Johnson-Pettis county line was connected to all these burglaries. A search warrant was issued and Constable Carpenter went forthwith to the suspect's home, where all the stolen articles were found. He was taken to Sedalia, where he entered a plea of guilty to the charge with which he was confronted and sentenced to jail for 100 days. The convicted man is about 50 years of age and has a highly respected family of a wife and six children, who doubtless feel the disgrace.

BANK BURGLARIZED

Dexter, Mo., Feb. 8.--The Bank of Malden was burglarized this morning at 3 o'clock. The cracksmen secured $4,000. A drill and dynamite were used to enter the safe and the force of the shock tore portions of the safe to pieces. Marshal Davis came upon the scene just as the burglars were raking the money into a sack. He opened fire on them, but without effect, and they escaped in the darkness. Bloodhounds struck a trail today and followed it to a swamp. The work was done by 3 men and they are evidently experts.

BRUTALLY BEATEN BY TWO FOOTPADS

Edward Y. Jones, 19 years old, living with his parents at No. 1225 Armstrong avenue, was held up last night within a stone's throw of his home by two footpads.
The men attacked him just after he had left an eastbound Park avenue car, at Armstrong and Park avenues, opposite Lafayette Park, and had started in the direction of his home. They were seated on a low stone wall on the corner. As Jones passed them, one of the men asked him to slow up. He turned to look at them, and as he did so one of them, who had hopped down off the wall, rushed at him and struck him on the forehead with a billy.
The blow stunned the young man, and before he could resist, both of the footpads fell upon him and bore him to the ground. One of them sat across his chest, pinning down his arms. While he was in this position the other fellow went through his pockets and took what they contained. He also took a valuable stick pin and a gold ring. At this juncture the one who was doing the robbing saw a man walking down Park avenue.
" Here comes someone," he said: " We had better hike out, put this guy out so he can't squeal."
The other thug proceeded to do his best to put Jones out. He struck him three times on the head with his billy, and then both men started to run. Jones was badly hurt, but was game. He staggered to his feet and fired four shots after the fleeing men.
The man who was approaching came up to Jones and told him to let them have it. He reached Jones just in time to catch him as he fainted. A crowd gathered and the boy was restored to consciousness and taken to his home.
There, his mother, who had heard the shots, was in the yard to receive him. The shock she sustained was so great at seeing her son carried and covered with blood that she is at present in a serious condition, suffering from nervous prostration. A doctor was called, who pronounced Jones' wounds serious, though not necessarily fatal. Four stitches were taken in the head.
The neighborhood for two or three blocks in every direction was aroused by the four shots, but no policeman appeared. The chief of police was notified by telephone and people went all through the district hunting for an officer. The holdup and brutal attack happened at 11:10 o'clock, but it was not until 12:45, after the representatives of the press and everybody in the neighborhood had called at the Jones home, that an officer leisurely walked in to make a report.
The Joneses were robbed by porch climbers about six weeks ago. At that time, two men entered their house and got away with considerable booty. Since that time Mr. and Mrs. Jones, both of whom are old people, have been nervous, and the affair last night was a great shock to them.
" I was coming home from a social call at the time I was held up," said young Jones to a Republic reporter. " I had a revolver with me, as I went out I knew that there was a fashionable wedding in the neighborhood and thought that thugs might be out to get some of the guests if possible.
Their attack was so sudden that I was taken off my guard and could not draw my revolver. One of the fellows held a revolver to my head when they had me on the ground. I would know the men if I saw them. They appeared to be about my age, and nearly my build."
The boy's father, L.B. Jones, is a well-known real estate agent. He has been in that business in this city for 25 years.

BANK ROBBERS DO MURDER

Kansas City, Mo., May 13.--Hundreds of men on foot and horseback and in all kinds of vehicles are scouring Neosho valley tonight for two bank robbers, James Murray and E.F. Estell, who last night killed Deputy Marshal Edward Roberts of Dunlap, a member of a party that had been pursuing the robbers for several days.
On May 9, Murray and Estell robbed a bank at Maryville, Kan., and since then a posse of deputies has pursued them, travelling a distance of over 150 miles. About midnight last night the robbers were run into accidentally in the dark by Roberts and a companion, who had become separated from the pursuing party. Before they recognized the robbers, one of the latter had emptied both barrels of his shotgun into Roberts, killing him instantly. The robbers later stole former Mayor Sargent's horse and buggy and started south.
Roberts was well known in Emporia and the news of his tragic death caused intense excitement, numerous posses were soon formed and began scouring the country. About 6 o'clock this evening the robbers had been traced to within 3 miles of Peoria.
