Saratoga was recently well besprink-
led with posters announcing that the
Rev, DR.. Newman would preach the
following Sunday in the First Metho-
dist Church, and that Gen. Grant would
be present. As result of this clever
advertising the church was crowded to
the doors; but people were divided as to
whether the congregation was DR.. New
mans or Gen. Grants. Appearances
rather favored the latter belief, however,
for when, the preacher dismissed his
hearers, not one of them showed the
slightest inclination to leave. But as
soon as the General walked down the
aisle (after waiting five minutes in
hopes the crowd would disperse) they
all made haste TO follow him.

feet desired. So now the widow is sue

that the Adams sexpress agent was

Vinita, where others of the gang would

made arrangements to thwart the rob

the robbers met Conductor Warren on
the front platform of the smoker and
told him TO throw up his hands and shot
him in the face. Warren fell
off the train. The detectives
