The Chicago and Alton west express and
mail train No. Is was stopped by nine masked
men two miles west of Gendale, and five miles
east of Independence, Mo-, at nine o'clock at
night, September Z. The express messenger
was knocked down and terribly beaten
His safe was broken open and robbed of
y large amount of money, variously
estimated at from 81, 600 to $50, 900. The pas
sengers on the train were also robbed Of
money and valuables. The train was stopped
by lantern signals, and the track
obstructed by stones and logs. The robbers
were heavily armed with guns and
reyolvers. and kept up a continual firing.
The robbery occupied only space of about
ten minutes. No one was injured except the
express messenger, whose injuries are thought
to be fatal. His name can not be learned at
this time. He bravely defended his car.
and refused to open the safe. Several
shots were fired at Conductor Hazlebaker, but
he escaped unhurt. The train ran into Kansas
City and the alarm was given. The entire police
force of that city Immediately organized in a
pursuing posse and started on their way by
special train to the scene of the robbery. A

leader of the gang. The robbery occurred

Boston COrbett.

During the first National Soldiers
Reunion, held at Caldwell, Ohio, in
1874, Boston Corbett was present as
one of the crowd, and gave full and
circumstantial account of the death OF
Booth. which agrees substantially with
that given by "Gath." Corbett, how
ever, said that at the moment he shot
Booth the latter was aiming his car
bine at soldier on the opposite side
of the barn. He saw that there was
not moment to lose and fred his pis-
tol, large navy revolver, and Booth
fell among the burning hay, and was
dragged out dying, and Cerbctt put
under arrest for his rashness. The
regular army officers had never for
given him for depriving them of a
great public trial and execution. He
said Booth never spoke after he fell,
and died as be deserved to die, the
death Of dog. Corbett complained
that lis share of the $4,000 reward
offered for the capture of the assassin
was stolen from him, with all his
clothes, the day he got it by some
struggling deserter. He declared that
the masses of the people had treated
him as if he were the assassin and
Booth the hero. When the surgeons
who carved up Booths carcass asked
him how he happened to send the bull
let to the same spot where Booths fatal
bullet had lodged in Lincoln, Corbett
sharply replied, with characteristic
religious rhapsody, "The Lord directed
my shot"

The only important result of the
Congressional investigation which fol-
lowed Bradv's bold demand for 81
100000 with which to make good the
deficiency caused by the star route
plundcrers was the enactment of a
law which forbade him or his chief to
thereafter award to any contractor for
expedition" sum greater than one
half of the contractors original pay.
1t now appears that Brady ignored
this new law by giving contractors,
for expedition" not one half Of their
original pay, but ope-half of their pay
after he had doubled it, or tripIed it,
or multiplied it by seven, by ordering
additional trips. Of course, it was to
be expected that Brady would not only
stretch the law, but violate it for the
benefit of the ring. The opinion given
in relation to this question by Attor-
ney-General McVeagh, at the request
of Postmaster-G General James, is plain
and emphatic The meaning of the
law was clear, and there was no ex-
cuse for violating it.

A Big CI.ief,s Plaint.

Address Of Big Chief when invit-
ed to take q walk: "When the white
father starts the music we waltz to it.
We have been asked to irrigate the
country here and hoe corn like the
white man. Our hearts are heavy and
we cannot promote the string bean.
We will do what is right, but we can
not work. The Indian cannot hunt
the potato-bug when the deer and an
telope are ripe. He cannot dig post
holes in the hot sun when the chase
calls upon him to go forth into the
forrest. Here, where we have roamed
through the tall grass and hunted the
deer and buffalo, the pale face asks US
to dig irrigation bitches and plough
the green earth with rebellious mule.
Here, where our war cry has been an
swered back by the giant hills, we arc
told to whack bulls and join the church.
They come to us and tell us to go to
school and wear pants. They ask us.
to learn the language and go to Con-
gress. They send men to us who want
US to learn to spell and wear suspen-
ders. We cannot do this. We are
used to the ways of our people Our
customs are as old as the universe.
We scratch our backs against the
mountain pines as my people did a
thousand years ago. We cannot
change. We can leave our land. but
we cannot change our socks every
spring and do as the white man does.
We can go away from our homes and
live In strange land, but we cannot
wear open-backed shirts and lead in
prayer. Warriors, we will go to the
land our white father has given US.
We will take our squaws and our vel
low dogs, our wigwams and our fleas.
We will go to our new home beyond
the river now, and when the autumn
comes we will take bridal tour back
to this country. We will construct a
holocaust, whatever that is, and spat-
ter the intellectual faculties of the
ranches all over the country. This is
all. am done. l have made my re-
marks. | have twittered my twit."-
