Another Train Robbery.

KANSAS Cry, No., December s
The passenger train No. 4, on the
Kansas Pacific Road, was robbed at
Muncle, hag station nine miles from
the city, at o'clock to-day, az the
train was coming to this city. The
robbers, masked, five in number, had
approached the track on horses, and be-
fore the approach of the train, had
piled rails on the track, seeing which
the train was halted by the engineer.
One robber boarded the engine, and
the others the mail and the express
car. and made the agents hold up their
hands, after unlocking the safes. etc.
About $50 900 were taken from Wells,
Fargo 4 Co.'S express. This was done
By uncoupliug the express car from the
train, and with rifle pointed at the
head of the engineer, he was made to
draw the express car short distance
from the train, which was guarded by
two of the FIVE, all of whom were heav-
lily armed with rifles and revolvers.
Conductor Brinkerhoff stuck his head
out of the car and was fired at He
told the robbers that he must signal an
approaching freight train, and was told
to so ahead, which he proceeded to do
unEarmed. None Of the passengers
were molested. One of the robbers
took fine watch from the express
messenger, but returned it on being
told it was personal property. Anoth-
robber also secured watch, but was
ordered by the captain of the gang to
return it. The robbers after their
work mounted their horses, but before
departing shot two horses belong
ing to some parties who had come to
the station, thus cutting off pursuit.
It is believed this is neither the James
nor Younger gang. They fired about
twenty shots to intimidate the passen
gers.
Wells, Fargo & Co. offer 5000 for
the recovery of the money and 81 900
each for the robbers, dead or alive.

NEIGHBoRHoOD NOTES
Bloomington.

Canal street is undergoing repairs
in front of the post office and Hale 81
Stanley's building, an Improvement
much needed and one which adds
materially to the looks of the street.
The crops look well generally
Small grain never looked better; but
corn needs working and has had al
ready too much rain, and if the wet
weather does not hold up, corn will
not be much of crop.
M. Kolb continues to improve his
place and has made good arrange
ment in case of fire, by placing on
his large cistern a good force pump
and hose enough to carry the water to
any part of the premises.
Our merchants say that since
Lancaster refused license, they do
business with many persons that were
not in the habit of trading with them
before. These men come in. do their
trading, take glass of beer and go
home happy.
Mr.. Charles Wheeler has returned
from a visit to "Yankee Land" where
he had very close call for his check,
through the means of a train running
into the draw of bridge when open.
The engineer and conductor were
killed in the fracas.
Some public spirited man ought
to take it in hand to see that more
hitching posts are set out along our
streets, which are crowded so much
that people very often can not find
places to tie their horses. 1t would
seem as though some of our business
men were the proper persons to at
tend to it.
The fishing party that went to
the Mississippi one day last week, had
plenty Of fun and an abundance of fish.
They seemed to care less about dry
goods than anything else; one of the
party came home without a hat and
but very little of his other clothes
about him, while the clothes Of the
whole party indicated severe usage.
The Mississippi aeater has very bad
effect on the boys when they go down
there on fishing and hunting excur-
sions.

Those persons that wish to cross
the "Father of Waters" had better
come to Cassyille as we have two fer

kinds of ferriage--lawful and unlaw-
ful--although not all can agree which
is which.
The scholars and friends of the
Cassyllle graded schools INDUCED in q
picnic in the b eautlful grove Saturday,
June 10. The exercises consisted Of
music by the Cassyille Cornet Band,
and singing and declarations by the
scholars. After the school exercises
of the day were over, the folks en-
ioyed a social time. There was a
party in the evening where all those
lovers of music might shake the "fan-
tastic toe" The band gave their SER

DUBUQUE POINT oN.-An important
movement for Southwestern Wiscon-
sin is on foot in Dubuque, whereby
il is proposed that pontoon wagon
bridge BE- built across the Mississippi,
similar in construction to the bridge
now in successful operation between
Prairie du CHEN ana McGregor. 1t
IS said that the success of Mr.. Law.
ler's pontoon bridge at Prairie du
ChieD, which was built for the con.
veyance Of loaded cars across the
Mississippi, has lead other cities on
the river to abandon the idea of
erecting costly iron bridges at a ne
cessary expense of from one-half to
two or three millions of dollars. and
the pontoon project is 10 favor.
Clinton, in Iowa, is taking steps to-
ward building similar bridge. The
people OF Dubuque are agitating the
question. and if they are wise they
will conclude to build a wagon bridge
across the river. A large, rich and
growing section Of country in South
western Wisconsin would be greatly
benefited by the constructor Of
wagon bridge between Dunleith and
Dubuque. lacking in railroad faci-
tiles, we know OF no other public
improvement that would in a greater
measure benefit this section. And it
looks clear TO Us that Dubuque can
we'll afford an investment that would
give It the greater part of the trade of
Southwestern Wisconsin, and which
would eventually bring about the
construction OF railroad north and
south through Grant county con-

The painting of the mill adds a
good deal to the appearance of that
valuable and useful establishment.
Old Father Runk works as hard
as ever, and in connection with Char
ley Robertson turns out some very
fine work.
Mrs. William Humphrey has a
genuine fig tree growing, with figs on
it. A tender plant for these cold days,
but it looks well and thrifty.
Patch Grove celebrates the 4th

time is anticipated and no doubt that
it will come up to the expectation.
"A splendid place for selling goods
stands vacant on the old stand of |. G..

with pluck and money could do well
there.
The Rev. J. d. Brothers still con
tinues to administer to the spiritual
welfare of the denizens, and is one OF
the most popular ministers that ras

Dan Adams has taken out a IL

stand of "Bill'' Powers, where he will
make money. Dan is good natured,
Jolly fellow and will no doubt make t
pleasant for all who may be pleased
to call on him.
Last Thursday an alteration took
place between some colored gentle
men, in which two pitched into one.
A white fellow standing by could not
stand that, and took one of them off;
whereupon the darkey became very
indignant and nothing short of shoot
ing at him could pacify his wrath,
which was done, and one darkey "lit
out" very suddenly. OF course he
was not hurt, but he thought that Har
ry meant kill and that was sufficient.

The house Of Mr.. William Hum
phrey was visited few nights ago
by burglars who failed to accomplish
anything beyond getting into the
house and being heard by Mrs. II. be-
fore the desired end was accomplished.
If those light fingered gentry knew
what is in waiting for them, if ever
they make another attempt, | don't
think that they would be very anxious
to try it again. 1t behooves every
person to stand in readiness to give
such fellows a warm reception when.
ever occasion demands it. 1t seems
that the country hereabouts is infest-
ed with them. A vigilance committee
would not be bad institution to look
after those loafng, pilfering fellows
who stay around small villages like
Patch Grove, with no visible means
of support, and who dress well and
even better than those who have con
slant employment.

Otto Reinke still deals in most
everything worth mentioning.
From 700 10 1000 sacks of wheat
are shipped from here every few days.
Our merchants are still on the

Business flourishes here in every
