SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Dec. ~ i-Yester
day evening, as the east bound train on the
Southern Pacific WAS nearing the bridge
crossing the Pecos river, a number of
tOrpedoes exploded on the track, causing
the engineer 10 stop the train. Six COW
boys boarded the train with drawn revOlv
ers and compelled the conductor to stop at
Langtry, the next small station. AT Lang
try twenty more cowboys boarded and
took possession of the train They
were all more or less under the in
tluence of liquor and amused themselves
by shooting out all the window lights,
and lamps. terrorizing passengers gener-
ally. As the train passed a small station
the cowboys would shove their heads out
of the broken windows and shoot and yell
\ passing freight train was saluted in a
similar manner. Several hundred shots
were fired and the roofs of the cars were
riddled. They robbed the train boy of his
stock of peanuts and candies, but so far as
known nobody was shot Judge FalOn,
United States District Attorney Evans and
Sheriff White were among the passengers,
but thought il best not TO make their iden-
tty known. The gang left the train at

MINNEAPOLIS, December -. - The
Academy of Music burned about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, situated at the corner
of Washington and Hennepin streets. 1t
was probably the most stubborn conhagra-
tion which has visited this city for many
months. The entire fire department re-
sponded with alaerity TO the call from box
IL and water was Immediately turned on,
but owing to some unexplainable trouble
the streams thrown were at first weak in
effect. The building was completely
flooded finally, but without avail. The
fire ragged until late in the evening The
building was a fine five story structure,
recently remodelIed from a theatre TO
business offices. IL was owned by HcIrick
Bros. u Company. The fire, beginning
from the roof, made but slow headway
toward the ground floor. The entire build
ing and contents were badly damaged. The
building was valued at 100000 and was
insured for S60,O0O. The Il ger portion of
the ground floor and basement was occu-
pied by +. III. Steele as a clothing and mer-
chant tailoring establishment.
