Robbery mt GrOesbeeck,

GRoEsBEEcK, Jan. ll.-ISpecial.l j
7. G. Measles, lately from Arkansas,
was robbed in Kosse on the night OF
January of nearly $500 in money and a
gold watch and gold ring. An examin-
ing trial before Justice Hodges showed
that Measles had been drinking heavily
and let it be known that he
had money. From that time he was
kept close under the shelter
ing pinions of r. G. Robinson,
and Miles Mathis. About 8 o'clock p.
m. Robinson, Mathis and Measles left
the saloon, Measles being dead drunk,
where Robinson and Measles engaged
in a game of cards. Measles being too
drunk to handle his money, Mathis
would take it out of Measles purse and
put it up for him, and when the hand
was called, Robinson, of course,
would proceed to take take. the me
had changed hands, they blew out the
lamp and took Measles to the back OF
the house, where they were all seen on
the floor, Robinson on one side, Mathis
on the other, and Measles in the middle.
From there Robinson and Mathis took
Measles to the Parsons hotel and left
him in the office by the fire. Soon
after this, three or four men returned
and LAID hold or Measles, ana
proceeded to cut or turn all his pockets,
pull off his boots and go through him
thoroughly. He was SOLDERING up some,
and tried to hollow, but one of the men
told him not to raise any alarm, he was
his friend and placed a large piece OF
cotton in his mouth as q gentle persua-
der tor him to be silent. Measles is pos
tive that Robinson is the man who
stuffed the cotton in his mouth, aud
told him not to hollow. He did not get
a square look at any OF
tho other men. His watch guard was
left around his neck, and the key on the
floor, but the watch! Oh, where was 1T?
These men were very cOnsiderate, how
ever, and left Measles dime and a cop
per cent for stake. Robinson now
ianguishes in Jail in default OF S2,OVG
in his community. He is under 81 ,OOo
bond for his appearance that he may
have chance to expl ain.

ONE or MIR. GoULD'S PET PLANS.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. Capt. Il. S. Hays,
the senior vice-president Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, who has just re-
turned from the east, in an interview
to-day, stated that railroad interests
generally are III very depressed condi,
ton, and business very duh
everywhere. lie thinks there
is almost Il universal lack of confidence
in railroads and he does not believe that
any new roads will be constructed III
the near future. The most that will be
done in this direction, he said, will be
the completion of extensions already
begun. His idea of remedy for the
present troubles is the appointment of
national railroad commission, to consist
of practical railroad man, an attorney
familiar with railroad affairs, and some
third person, all these to be gentlemen
of the highest integrity and of the great
est eminence in their respective spheres
Such commission could decide
on all questions of parable
lines, OF rates, etc., with justice 10 All

national railroad commission wa.

sion. Some remedy is certainly needed
Tor the lack of confidence which seems
to exist. There is plenty of money il
