No more of the Kansas train robbers
have been captured. The officers were
aided much by young Chapman, who is
now certainly known to have made ful!
confession. More arrests are expected
to day. 1t is rumored that large guam
tity of plunder taken from the passengers
was found in cave four miles from
the scene of the robbery in an unfre-
quented part of the country A special
says that suspicious looking and acting,
heavily armed stranger, riding fine but
much jaded horse, Was arrested in Ne
yada. Vernon county. He is evidently
one of the robbers.
DR.. Agnew SAYS this evenings bulletin
Was a favorable one and he could not say
more than was contained in it if ho
should talk an hour. DIR. Boynton adj
heres 10 the opinion that the lung com
plication is the result of blood poisoning,
yet he contends that the Presidents vi
tality is sufficiently strong to overcome
any serious result from it, pro- iding no
further complications Of similar character
occur. Swain and Rockwell are encoar-
aged by favorable indications and say the
day has undoubtedly been good. Rock
well refers to President Garfield as an
extremely Intelligent patient and says he
| places more confidence in his action when
comparing bis condition from day to day
than on the opinions of others. The
president is a man not afraid of death and
has no more idea of dying than any of Us
who are enjoying good health. He con.
| siders furthermore, should he be near
deaths door and in foil possession of his
faculties, that his great intelligence
would enable him to comprehend the
fact, and he would not hesitate to give
| notice to those around him. Hamilton
| arrived tonight. Agnew will leave in
! the morning. At 1880 tonight the pres
| ident is sleeping, and in the opinion of
Hamilton and Agnew has every prospect
| for favorable night. There has been no
| febriie rise. The temperature and respir-
| alton are normal. The pnlse has not been
| taken during the day. He has taken
| nourishment freely and there has been
no further annoyance from the stomach.
| When Hunt called On the president to-
| day he informed him that there was no
| presidents attention. IL has been the
clstom Of she president TO refer to the
| secretary in nautical terms, and after
shaking the hand of the president, the
secretary poiptlng taTssds The ocean ne.-
! had to retreat to nv domain aYes.'
said the president, Athere it is, and isn't
it beautifuf.n The president to-day ex-
| pressed the wish that he would soon be
able TO sit in a rocking chair and look cut
on the ocean. The day. on the Whole. is
said TO be favorable one. The trouble
in the parotid has practically disappeared.
| The wound is in excellent condition..

After Mason shot at Guiteau he said
Il have been at it for ten days. / hope /
have done the work in good STYLE"
| Mason then walked toward the COM
mandng officer, Capt. McGilyray, saying,
Captain, have tried TO kill that dirty
loafer in there. Here's my gun and bay
onet Take me in Charge" McGilyray
had heard the shot, but had not dreamed
of Mason's intention. He placed Mason
in the custody of two soldiers. There
was much excitement about the Jail and
| inside of it. The prisoners who had heard
the shot ran to the windows and shouted.
Warden Croker and his deputy. who had
been in the Jail office, ran through the
corridors to Guitean,s cell and found him
on his knees terror-stricken. ado they
want to murder me?" he asked, Tho
warden assured him that he need have
no fear. "But have been shot at" said
the prisoner. 81 was standing at my
window when one of those soldiers fired
at me. The bail p tssed by my ear and
went through my coat hanging up there
and tore piece off the photograph of my
mother which was in the pocket" The
warden discovered that the ball had not
hit the prisoners body, and then went
outside to see who had fired the shot. 1t
was agreed that it would be best to tell
Gniteau that the shooting was accidental.
This announcement was made to him,
the explanation being that a soldier in
getting out of a wagon had accidentally
discharged his gun. 1t was decided that
| Guiteau should be removed to another
+ cell, and he was placed in one formerly
. occupied by Stone, who murdered his
wife. Jonathan G. Bigelow, Sergeant
Mason's lawyer, called upon the district
attorney and asked him TO claim the pris-
Oner from the military authorities TO be
. tried in civil court. Col. Corkhill de-
clined to do this at present and the law
yer expressed the intention to swear out
a warrant himself for Masons arrest.
Bigeiow says in his opinion Mason is in
2 sane on the subject. He further states
IhaL Wnen LIle news OF GulteauS crime

in Texas, and at the time expressed the
, Intention of killing Guireau. Mason is
