DALLAS, Tex. April S.-The north-bound
train over the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
road was robbed near Cleborn, Friday
night, at water station called Plum. Six
masked men, roughly dlessed, entered the
coaches. Two guarded the door at each
end and the other two went through the
car with cooked pistols. one carrying a
FELLOWSHIP, ordering q missionary fund.
All the passengers did as ordered. When
they were about through the passenger
conductor entered the car and seeing what
was going on, rushed for the express car.
One of the robbers fired at him. but he es-
capped unhurt, the ball passing through the
door of the express car. The robbers then
jumped off and disappeared. The amount
secured is not known. Several parties
gave large sums. One passenger says the
robbers got about 81 800, others say $400
or $500. The officers at Fort Worth were
notified, and a posse, with bioodhounds,
started in pursuit. 1t is thought it is the
gang who attempted to wreck the night
train three weeks ago by removing rail.

SMINDLE.

New YORK, April S.-Two men at
tempted this afternoon to sell at a brokers
Office, city bonds of ST. Joseph, Mo-. to the
amount 100000, for twenty cents on the
dollar. The bonds are only negotiable for
other bonds. The transaction excited sus-
picien, and the men were arrested. They
gave the name of James Irving, residing
at the Astor House, and James Fisk, stop
ping at the Sturtevant House. The bonds
are genuine. 1t is supposed they werestolen'
there areI100 four per cent bonds, $1,000

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-Judge Wylie
decided the star route indictments as good
and sufficient. Genl. Brady and James
Mimic Reeredell, Cabell and Bane of the
defendants were in court Judge Wylie
said the motions in the cases of Dorsey
and Brady were similar The principal
point made being the defendants had not
been bound over by commissioners to await
the action of the grand jury, and that the
jsry had found the indictments without the
cases having properly brought before them
by order of the court The Judge then read
the Maryland law of 1922 upon which these
points arc based, and reviewed the history
of the adoption of the legal code of the
district and defined the force Of the Mary
land statutes which are claimed
to constitute part of District Columbia.
His final decision was that the law of 1712
had disappeared from the district code,
along with all the Maryland laws of the
same class many years ago. The Judge
then took up the other points of the mo-
tions to quash the question of jurisdiction
of the court, and the point that conspiracy
charged in the indictment had not been
sufficiently defined, receiving consideration
in order. He declared that the court GER
tainly had jurisdiction in the premises, as
to claim that conspiracy had not
been established by the indictment,
be said it was only necessary whether or
not defendants had by their joint action
endeavored to obtain or did obtain money
or its equivalent from the government by
illegal methods. After reading the stat
utes at length the Judge said in his opin-
ion the evidence presented herein was
strong enough to warrant prosecuting
these defendants. Therefore he decided
the indictments were good and sufficient
in all particulars. He then took up what
are known as the straw bond cases which
were sent to this court. He again decided
its indictments were sufficient in these
cases also This decision would d1spese
of the motion to quash in the Satildo
murder case The recognizance of Stephen
W. Dorsey was declared forfeited and his
arrest ordered. Col. Tatten formally noted
objection to a decision, and most of the
defendants entered appearance. Recess.

OMAHA, April 10.-Commencing with
to-day the passenger trains of the Kansas

their terminus at Omaha instead of Coun
