TRAIN ROBBERS.
DARING ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE A
PASSENGER TRAIN.
The Thieves Frustrated by the
bravery of the Railroad
Employees.

TOPEKA, KS, January 27.-A daring
attempt TO rob passenger train was
made on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, this morning. Be-
tween three and four o'clock five armed
and masked men entered the station st
KInsley, Mo, capturing A. kincaid, the
night telegraph oper ator, who was or
dered to open the safe. This he re.
fused TO DO, although his life was
threatened. The west bound express
train arrived at this time, and the OPP
orator, by q desperate effort, broke
loose and ran 10 hotel near
by, arousIng the inmates. A volley OF
pistol shots was fired into it, and as the
train stopped the conductor, j. w. Nal
lory, was met by two of the robbers,
who presented pistol to his head and
ordered him into the baggage car. He
stepped in and closed the door instantly,
starting the train by pulling the bell
cord. Mallory and the baggage master
then armed themselves with carbines,
carried in the car and then stopped the
train, after running about mile

into the coaches with their arms, but
found the robbers were not on the
train and that the passengers had not
been disturbed. Immediately after the
train started the robbers, reported to be
10 or Is in number, mounted their
horses and rode of rapidly towards the
Arkansas river. A party was at once
organized in pursuit and started only
two or three miles behind tho robbers.
A second party started st 7:30 with fresh
horses and provisions, and the chances
are good that the robbers will be captured.
The superintendent of the railroad also
sent request to the commanding officer
at Fort Dodge for party of soldiers to
join IN the pursuit. An answer has
been received that s9usd of cavalry has
been sent out with q wagon containing
supplies. The present indications are
that hlnley is I'D unhealthy locality for
train robbers. At 3:45 p. N. one of the
pursuing party returned with the report
that the robbers had crossed the Arksn-
sas river about zine miles west OF Kins-
ley.

JUDGE LEWIS SUCCESSOR.

The death of Judge CHARLES 5.
LEWIS will devolve upon Governor
MATHEWS the duty OF appointing q
successor to serve until the next general

day OF October next. Under an act
passed by the Legislature two winters

where the portion of the term Yet TO e1-

the term for which Judge LEWIS was
elected will not expire until January l,
1881, the Governors sppointee will only
serve until successor is elected on the
