A DARING ATTEMPT.

A telegram conveying information
of daring attempt to rob an express
car on the Omaha Railway was receiv-
ed this forenoon at the local Offices of
the American Express Company. The
telegram was received from Camp
Douglas, Wis, where the plot for com
hitting the robbery was laid. The
plan, as far as It's conception is con-
cerned, is unsurpassed for audacity,
and the attempt, which was baf1ed in
a manner almost purely accidental,
has scarcel y parallel in the criminal
history of the country. The attempt
was made last night. 1t appears that
four or five men have been hanging
around Camp Douglas for several days
past. with no apparent object in view
Last evening one Of them went to the
house of farmer who lives near
Camp Douglas and engaged him to
carry box to the station, where he
wished to ship it off by express. The
farmer was paid for the job and told
where he would find the box, which,
the stranger represented, was filled
with roots and herbs that had been
gathered in the woods The farmer.
accompanied by his son, proceeded to
the spot described, which was some
little distance from his home and found
the box near the road. They attempt
ed to lift it, and finding it pretty heavy
had their suspicious aroused They
dicussed the matter for few moments
and concluded that the box contained
a dead body. They decided to report
the matter to the authorities and went
off for this purpose, without carrying
the box with them. They succeeded
in arousing the authorities and return
ed to the spot. but their surprise when
they discovered that the box was en-
PITY and that the supposed dead man
had flown, may easily be i'm
agined. The conclusion was instant
ly reached that the box had contained
an express robber-one of the party
mentioned--who had planned to effect
an entrance into the American Express
Company's car in this daring and I'M
usual manner The car that was to
have been robbed was the one attached
to the late night train, bound for the
South on the Chicago, St. Paul, Min
neapolis 4 Omaha Railroad. Had the
robber got into the car, he would
probably have secured big haul, IN
less frustrated by the messenger. The
daring scheme is only equaled by the
curious manner in which it was defeat
ed. A strong effort is being made to
capture the would be robbers. Eve
