From the Howard County Advertiser.
It would be well enough perhaps
for those who are opposing D. R.

say he deals in options, to know
that he handles more actual grain
than every other grain dealer in St.

elevators in that city, that he has
buyers in six States buying grain,
that to-day he has one million dol
lars borrowed upon actual grain
on hand These are facts which
cannot be scratched out and this

SMOKED HIM OUT.
/ A Bold Train Robbery on the Cot
ton Belt Line--A Passenger
Train Held up Near
Kingsland, Ark.


PINE BLUFF, ARK, February 80.
The gay and festive train robber
has again bobbed up serenely, this
time on the St. Louis, Arkansas &
Texas Railroad, about twenty miles
below this city. AS train No. 2,
north bound, stopped at Kingsland,
about / o'clock this morning, three
men stepped on the platform of the
baggage car next to the engine.
About q mile out from Kingsland
the train suddenly came to a stand
still, and Conductor J. B. Brown
ing stepped to the door to see what
was wrong. As he opened the
door
A BULLET WHIzzED BY HIS HEAD
and he at once concluded that the
inside of the car was good enough
for him, and made bee line for the
sleeper, where he stayed until the
affair was over. In the meantime
the robbers went to work in such a
cool and systematic way as to COM
mand the admiration of all on board
the train. They boarded the en-
gine and commanded the engineer,
Bob Rev, and fireman, Ed. Hark-
nett, to
HOLD UP THEIR HANDS.
Harknett was just in the act of
throwing a shovel full of coal into
the fire-box, and supposing it was
one of the trainmen trying to per-
petrate a joke, held up his shovel,
exclaiming, "Ah therel'' The rob-
Der, with grim humor, dropped the
muzzle of a six-shooter against
Harknett's cheek with the words,
"Stay there, YOU" The fireman
recognized the force of the remark
and quickly climbed down from the
box. Taking the fireman and en-
gineer with them, they told them
to call on the messenger to open up
the door of the express car. They
did so, but he refused to show up.
THEN BEGAN A FUsILADE
that made eyery passenger on the
train think they were surrounded
by small army. firing of this,
the robbers ordered the fireman to
take the slash bar from the engine
and break in the door of the car.
He obeyed, and after working
about ten minutes at the job, they
concluded matters were not mov-
ing fast enough, and getting q lot
of waste and oil from the engine
proceeded to
SET THE CAR ON FIRE.
The messenger seeing it was
useless to hold out any longer of
fered to open the door. The engi-
neer and fireman were made to get
in the door first, the robbers using
their bodies as ramparts. The
messenger opend the safe and the
contents were quickly transferred
ito sack the robbers carried with
them.
The exact amount taken cannot
be ascertained, but it is no doubf
large, as the run was very heavy
lone. The mail car and passenger,
were not molested at all. This il
the second time that this same en-
gineer and express messenger have
been held up in robbery, thei
train being robbed near Genoa
| Ark, a few weeks ago.
THE MESSENGER WARNED.
/ The messenger received not
last night at Texarkana warnin,
him to look out, but paid no at
tention to it, supposing it to be
+ joke.
/ Tne robbers were just thirty -fiv'
minutes in doing their work. Late
reports state that the amount takel
was between 5000 and 5000
