Cimarron.
There were only two robbers, but think
that originally there was gang organized
to rob the train, and that these two fellows
came to town to get the lay of things and
make arrangements, and got drunk and
spoiled the scheme by attempting to do the
job themselves"
The story of Express Messenger Peterson
is very similar to that of James. He says
while the engines were being exchanged he
was lying in the car, and was in doze
when the conductor yelled "all aboard"
An instant later masked man attempted
to get into the car, firing revolver as he
did SO. Peterson awoke to the situation,
and as the man entered the car he drew his
revolver and returned the intruder's shot,
and advancing upon him forced the man
back out of the car. At that moment the
fireman ran across the platform and the
robber fired at him, the shot taking effect
in the fireman's neck. Peterson was greatly
excited, but was determined to defend his
safe as long as possible. He thought he
saw another man outside, but it afterwards
proved TO have been the conductor. He
also thinks the men were drunk, and that
the original plan was to rob the train east
of Coolidge.
Deputy Sheriff Mather, in charge of the
Dodge City posse, was met at Coolidge bv
Sheriff Parsons of Bent County, Colorado,
and they arrested two men and took them
to Dodge City on special this evening and
lodged them in Jail. The feeling there was

yet fully identified no steps will be taken
to avenge Hilton's death Oil an uncer-
tainty.
Another man has this evening been ar
rested at Garden City and will be taken to
Dodge City in the morning. 1t is Thought
that only three were engaged in the shoot
ing, but that others were implicated in the
conspiracy to rob the express car of its
treasure.
Foddle has a bad flesh wound. but it is
thought that with proper attention his
chances for recovery are good. He is being

Mr. A. S. Merrill, the popular expressman
of Brunswick, Me-, writes us on May 10,
1893, as follows Having been severely af-
ncted for about two years with infamma-
tion of the kidneys and bladder, so called by
my physician l suffered with distressing
pains in my back and retention of urine,
caused by stoppage of the neck of the
bladder, and complication of other diseases

ance of urine to an alarming degree; indeed,
it demanded my attention fifteen or twenty
times per night and at times it would seem
impossible for me to ride down to the depot
OH my wagon for every jar from the wagon
would almost seem to take my life. Having
failed to obtain relief from my doctor,
finally consulted our druggist, DIR. Merry
man, of Brunswick, and requested him to
furnish me with the most reliable and speedy
cure for such sickness, for | was suffering too
much for human nature to en- dure long, The
doctor recommended me to use Hunts Rem

success in good many cases in Brunswick

ceived such great relief that | continued, and

Detective Cos's shrewdncss.

A story is told Of the shrewdness of De-
tective Cox, which is too good to be lost. 1t
is said that while going down Seventh street
he saw young white man with bag slung
across his shoulder and suspicious looking
tool under his arm. Knowing that there
were such things as "jimmies" and other
things used by burglars, but not being ex-
actly familiar with their appearance, he at
once surmised that the queer looking thing
under the mans arm was Jimmie" and
marching boldly up to the man he arrested
him.
The young man was greatly surprised, and
protested his innocence of having committed
any crime.
Cox wanted him to open his bag and let
him see the contents, and upon tho man de-
murring, he threw open his coat to show his
badge, with the remark 81 am detective
am" The man then opened his bag and
showed that it contained a pair of sheers,
couple of hammers, and some papers of tacks,
while he explained to the over Jealous de-
tective that the singular looking tool which
he had under his arm was not burglars
"jimmie," but carpet stretcher, adding that
he was an employee of Mr.. Julius Lansburgh.
A reporter visited Mr.. Lansburgh's store to
learn if the story was true. and was told that
the same young man had been twice stopped
on the street by Detective Cox for an exani-
nation of his bag of tools. The informant
stated that the detective was evidently new in
the business, and probably on account of his
age did not recognize the young man the
second time because he had had his hair cut.
1t seems, however, that the man who didn't
know burglars Jimmy" from carpet
stretcher wasn't fit for detective.

In regard to the assessment Of personal prop
erty Mai Ross Fish says that they are coming
in quite rapidly, although just at this time
a good many people are out of town.
"Are there any heavy returns coming in ?"
asked the reporter.
"No, and there won't be. Men are not CO.
ing to pay tax of $150 on unused money,
and they are putting their money either into
buildings or in government bonds. l don't
suppose there will be over $250,000 returned
altogether"
There have been but two returns made of
any considerable amount, that of Mr.. Corcoran
for $l25,000, and Mr.. j. c. Mcclure for $780,
900.
In conversation with the assessors it is as
certained that very large proportion of the
property of the district, both real and per-
sonal is owned by women. Beside resident
propertyowners there are many northern and
eastern female capitalists who Ihave invested
in Washington real estate, as the returns
therefrom are better in every way than in
large seaport cities. There are many who
have speculated of their own accord and been
successful, and with practical sagacity have
"salted" their gains in landed estate here. Be-
sides these cases, many female department
clerks have saved enough to buy property,
and many men have transferred property to
theiri wives and daughters to avoid losing a
home should reverses overtake them.
