saw another passing up and down OF
the opposite side oil the train; think ht
was firing at me, also. Some Of the pas

these men were firing at me, and woulC

went to the sleeping car at the rear
still trying to get q revolver, and
urging the passengers to keep quiet Al
theee men were ro6bing the baggage car
went out oil the ladies' car up 10 the
bank, and thence 10 the engine. Two
balls passed through my clothing, while
| was on the bank. These shots came
from the south side oi the train. did
not see any man on the north side then
did not sec or hear anything more OF the
masked men. After the passengers gol
quiet l went forward to investigate the
cause Of the wreck at the hind truck
Of the smoking car. l found the fab plate
had been removed from the rail- on the
north side, disconnecting q rail at both
ends. A rope and strap were tied In the
bolt holes OF the disconnected rail at the
west end and the rope passed under the
south rail across the ditch and up on to
the bank. A piece Of rope was also
found on the bank which seemed TO
have been broken from the other, 1t
was new rope about the size Of COM
mon bed cord, the west end was loose ot
the rail. When l saw 1t 1t was only q
few inches from the south rail. The hind
trucks of the smoking car were still on
the track. We had been running eigh'
teen or twenty miles an h0nr.
The passengers on the train report that
the scene was terrible, and battles de-
scription. When the crash meal were
thrown forward-some entirely of their
seats. Then came the recoil, and imme.
diately after they heard firing. but sup
posed that 1t came from the wreck.
Many OF the men jumped from the cars
and started forward, but were ordered
back by the robbers, who continued firing,
and forced their commands by terrible
oaths and threats. Back they went with
rush, and In tho car found women and
children half cra2ed with fright, shriek-
ing, crying and fainting, implorlng
the men 10 protect them, and ex-
claiming "My God, we shall be killed,
we shall be killed" The stoutest hearts
quailed, and felt that they were at the
mercy OF the desperadoes. Altogether, it
was a scene unprecedented in the
history ot railroading in this country,
as never before has so reckless
and daring a scheme been carried 10
completion. All Western Iowa Is in a
fever Of excitement. Farmers for miles
around are leaving their harvest fields
with their families, TO visit the scene
OF robbery. The engine and baggage
cars remain as they were last night. The
former, 10, Is badly wrecked. Captain
Race estimates the loss sustained by the
company at about $1,000.
Governor Carpenter issued proclama'
tion to-day offering a reward Of $500 for
the arrest Of each person engaged in the
robbery.

THE Pail Mall Caste discGrns the
germ OF the religious war in the contrO-
versy which has arisen between the Ger
man and Russian press about the recent
work OF Herr Won Wurstemburgcr on
"Freedom Of Conscience in the Baltic
Provinces of Russia" the whole tenor OF
which shows how anxious the govern
ment of tho Czar is to justify its proceed
ings towards the Protestant subjects in
the court OF European opinion, while the
details given expose course Of events
which has suf1ced to disturb the amicable
sentiments Of two great empires. "For
there can bo no doubt" says the Gazette,
that the alleged oppression OF the Luther
ans in Courland and Lithuania has pro-
duced an irritation on the side Of the Ger.
mans deeper, II more guarded in Its ex-
preston, than that which preluded the
attack on Denmark in 1854. Herr Won
