WAS 1T Tile LANES BOYS?

KANSAS CITY, No. July 16.-There Is con-
siderable evidence to show that the train
robbery on the Rock Island Road last night
was committed by the James gang, and
may prove that one or both of the James
boys were present. The horses used by the
robbers in their escape were fine thorough
bred animals, in the best OF condition for the
work on hand. The horses were hitched to
fence, about fifty rods from Winston sta
ton, where the following letter was found
to-day:
KANSAS CITY, July I2-Cu,RLrE: got Your
letter to day, and was glad 10 hear that Won
had got every. hing ready ia time for the 18th.
We will be on hand mt that time. Bill will DO
with us. We will be on the train; don't fear /:
will be in smoker n Winston: have horses ana
boys in good fix for fast work; We will make
this point again on the night OF the 10Th; all Is
right here Frank will meet us at Cameron /;
look sharp and he well fixed: have horses
well jaunted, for we may have some running
night time: Wilcox or walcott will be on the
engine. j think best TO send this to- hidder.
Yours till and through death. SLICK.
The letter was found in the undcrbrush,
and bears evidence of having been carried
for some days in the pocket. People Of
Winston and vincinity, who know the
James boys and most of The comrades they
have had in the past, say they have no doubt
this was OF the same lot. but II has long been
the custom of the people of Western Mis-
souri, to attribute every daring piece OF out
lawry to the James boys, and time aloncwil
tell whether or not the present suspicious
are founded on good grounds. Officers OF
the Z. 5. Express Company refuse to name
the amount of money taken from the safe,
but say they think So. 900 too high. Conduc-
tor Purple, of the. Hannibal Road, who
passed through Cameron with his
train last night, stopped long
enough to gather some of the
stories. He says that Westfall was shot
while his back was turned to the assassin.
and that Mcclellan, stone ma on, was shot
because, seeing the intention of the robber.
he attempted to cut him down with stone
trowel, the only weapon ut hand.
Conductor Westfall had been running the
passenger train upon which he met his
death almost year. lie had n wife aud
four children living near Gallatin, Mo-. but
had not been living with them for some time.
He was a favorite with both officers and
men, and his death is the cause of much
sorrow among railroad men.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The Pioneer Press special from Hector
says the cyclone which struck New Ulm de-
vastated stretch OF country mile wide
and forty miles long. IL travelled in a south
easterly direction, passing through the bor-
oughs of Palmyra, Wellington and Cairo.
The extent of the damage can not yet be as
certained, but gentleman from Cairo says
the storm was one of the most disastrous
ever known in Renville County, and that q
large number of people have been killed and
many injured.
The principal buildings destroyed in New
Ulm are the following: The Catholic Cathe-
dral and nunnery, loss $4,000; the Metho-
dist, Lutheran, and Congregational church
es, losses from -, 200 to 81 900; Huntsmann
Brewery, $751; 600: Epples' block, $4,000;
William Mullen, store. 81 900; house, $4,000.
DIR. Weischke's building 5000; residence
s., 900; Duesman's brick block, $1,000:
Schullacher, brewery, $500; L. Ruck, brick
store, 5000; public school building, ~, coo.
These are the largest losses sustained.
There is not a building but what is more or
less damaged. In majority of cases roofs.
chimneys and window glass are gone, in
volving from 500 to $500. In many other
cases the buildings have been thrown out OF
plumb. 1t can be safely said that $3.50, 900
to 100000 would not put the town back
where Il was.

SERIOUS disturbances occurred in
Rome, on the occasion of the removal of the
body of Pope Plus TX. Six men were ar
rested, fined and imprisoned for boisterous
conduct. A crowd Of people, numbering
between 1900 to 5000, cheered the prisoners
on coming out of court and followed them,
shouting "Down with the clericals." The
soldiers dispersed the mob, which reassem-
bed at the Office of one of the clerical news
papers and tore down the bulletin, and
started for the railway station to protest to
the King and Queen, who were ar
irving from Naples, but a Gordon of
police prevented the demonstration. The
Pope instructed the Papal Secretary of State
to inform the ambassadors and Ministers
accredited to the Vatican, that it was the
Pope's personal desire they should inform
their Governments how deeply panied he
was at the insult offered to the body of Pope
Plus TX, that henceforth he must consider
himself more than ever a prisoner in the
Vatican, and as prevented from attending
any religious service in any of the basilicas
