DARING HOLD-UP.

Four Bandits Loot the Sac and Fox Indian Agency.

Kansas City, October 26.—A special to the Times from Guthrie, O. T., says the Sac and Fox Indian agency, sixty miles southeast of here, was held up and looted this afternoon by the same gang of bandits that looted the town of Carney last week. Sac and Fox is only thirty miles from Carney. There were four masked robbers, mounted and armed. They first rode to the office of Agent Thomas, presumably to demand the money to be paid as annuity to the Sac and Fox Indians next week. Agent Thomas had $16,000 in greenbacks ready to pay the Indians. Thomas was not in his office. The robbers then went to the store of Mrs. Fannie Whistler, covered the inmates and took $450 and valuable papers from the safe. They then held up J. W. Moffatt's place and got $50 and a gold watch. Chief Keokuk's place was ransacked of $50 and $3000 worth of notes. The boldness of the robbers frightened the traders and people so badly that they were unable to resist. After robbing Keokuk's place the bandits rushed through the grounds of the government Indian school, firing their guns. Two of the robbers were recognized as being in the Carney hold up.
