Last night, about nine O'clock, as
Denver Express No. 81, on The C. &
A. railroad, j. C. Greenman con-
ductor and Joe Herman engineer,
approached Glendale, small flag
station about 5 miles this side of In
dependence and 25 miles this side of
Kansas City, the engineer saw a white
light waved, also green light shown,
which meant ''stop for .syders." OF
course the train was then stopped at
the station and q large pile of rocks
was seen On the track. just as the
train stopped, about 10 masked men,
with shot guns and pistols, came out
from the darkness. The leader Or
dered Joe (the engineer) to get down
out of his cab. Two men then took
charge of each car and told the pas-
sengers to keep their heads in or they
would be shot. Conductor Green
man came out on the platform when
several shots were fired and he thought
he heard one of the passengers cal
him inside, and he, very wisely,
went in. A couple of the robbers
then went to the tender and got 9
coal hammer, went to the express
car aud demanded admittance o.

The Criminal DOcket--KiIpOr
Hangs" by a Thread.
Moore On Trial .

The jury in the case of State of
Missouri VS.. Kilgore, after being alb
sent about three hours, returned with
verdict of s'guilty of murder in the
first degree" Kilgore has not heen
sentenced as yet. A motion is now
filed for new trial. We don't think
it will be granted. The case will be
appealed to the Supreme Court.
Hanging is the penalty of murder in
the first degree.
The case, State vs.. Hartley broth
ers, will be tried at a special term
set for the I'd Tuesday In December.
The case, State VS.. Harrison, has
been continued.
State VS.. Riley, for selling liquor
without license and the case State VS..
Mallory, for poisoning horses, will
both be tried to-day.
| STATE VS.. MOORE.
The case State VS.. Moore, which
has been on trial during the present
week, closed last night the following
jury now having the case under con-
sideration:
John L. Day, Gray Hook, Robert
Todd, Jas. Mccormack, William
Lee, John Skelley, Samuel Northern,
j. II. Hill, JEFF. Gatewood, John
FFs ker, j. Il. Wilson and FL. r.
Paris.
1t will be remembered that on the
last trial the jury stood one for ac-
quital and eleven for hanging. Eve
ry endeavor is noy being made by
, Moore's counsel, Gen. Guitar, of
Columbia, and Forrist g. Fry, of
Mexico, to clear the accused. j..
Med. Trimble, of this county, and
Shannon c.. Douglass, of Boone, are
prosecuting. The evidence was
closed yesterday noon and the case
/, argued yesterday evening. The
speeches were all mastery efforts.
Moore has been very nervous dur
ing the trial. d .-..E ~
The verdict in the Kilgore case,
tending to unnerve him, he twitches
his mustache continually. His wife,
who is neat looking little woman,
is with him and appears even more
excited. She ntinually clutches
the back of her husbands chair OIL
wrings her fingers conyulsively.
During the argument the prison
, er's children were brought into court.
They were very pretty, innocent
, Hooking little children, but whether
they had the desired effect on the
jury or not we don't know.
LATER-MooRE HANGS.
AS we go to press, the jury in The
Moore case bring in verdict o
