Headquarters OF the Kansas Pacific Rail.
road in this city that IN organized band OF
trafn-fobbers had been captured and kill.
ed while attempting to rob IN express car
on train No. 9, bound West. The rumor
was founded on the following facts:
; Last Thursday night detective gained
information that an attempt would be
made to rob the express car ot. the Kansas
Pacific on Saturday morning ut Rock
Spring, small station, a04 miles west Of
this city. The information was obtained
from one OF the gang, who came into
Brookfeld and gave his "parls" away,
claiming that they had "done him dirt" "
Acting on this information; the Sheriffs OF
Rice, Hays and Saline counties organized
band of picked men, and started ior the
rendezvous OF the robbers. It was known
Just where they were, and descent was
made about daylight, and terrible fight
took place. The robbers were armed with
Isharp.shootsrs, and seemed 10 know OF the
attack. Mike Rourke, known as "Big
Mike" and the leader OF the gang who
robbed the Kansas City, st. Joe & Council
Bluffs train at Winthrop, and the Atchison,
Topeka L Santa 70 ut kinsley, was cap
tured. Dan Dement,, another OF the gang,
was wounded and escaped into the brush,
while the remaining three fed in. the dark

A posse OF men are now chasing them
in a southerly direction, and II is thought
thats fight wll taksplace near Fort Dodge,
as q telegram has been SAINT from that point
for aid. A reward OF 5000 had been Of
iered for Rourke's capture, and he is now
IN route to Junction City on special train,
ehalped and guarded by four resolute men.
It had been known for two weeks that
this robbery had been Intended, and 81:
perintendent Oakes has had all the train

LONDON, October 19.-As was intimated
in these dispatches, the British. author
tiles in India have found themselves great
ly impeded by the inefiiciency Of their
supplies and commissary service. The ad-

the expedition will not move at all until
next spring The whole European army
now in India is about $1,000 men; the
native army l2s,000. 1t is believed by
Lord Lytton that he will be able to form
