A Gang of Masked Tramps Foiled in
an Attempt to Rob an Express
and Baggage Car.
The Baggage Master Lying at the
Point Of Death From Wounds
Received in the ARRAY.
The House Spends Most of the Day
Discussing the Tariff
Bills Passed.
Express Robbers Foiled.

CINCINNATI, June 8.-A little after 10
o'clock tonight American Express Mes
senger j. Zimmerman and Baggagemaster
j, Ketchum were alone together in the ex-
press and baggage car of the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis & Chicago railway
train, which is due here at IL o'clock.
Zimmerman, when the train left Delhi
station, twelve miles west of here, called
Ketchum's attention to some tramps he saw
through the glass window of the car door
leading to the front platform next to the
locomotive tender. Both men arose and
went toward the front door. When within
ten feet of it the tramps began firing
through the window. Ketchum fell, shot
in four places, two balls entering his
abdomen, one his breast and one his left
shoulder. Zimmerman tried to draw his
pistol but it stuck in his hip pocket and he
retreated to the rear platform Of the car
where he met the conductor. The latter
pulled the bell rope and stopped the train.
While this was going on one OF the tra1aps
climbed on the tender, where he was met
by the engineer and fireman and knocked
stiff by two blows from a monkey wrench.
The engineer and fireman then
ROLLED HIM OFF THE TENDER
while the train was at full speed. Before
he was thrown over board, however, the
second robber attempted to climb the
tender, but he weakened and lodged back
at sight of the prostrate form Of his COM
panion. Before the train stopped more
than one robber was seen to Jump off and
disappear in the darkness. All of them
wore masks completely covering their
faces. Not word was spoken by the
robbers during the entire affray and not a
shot was fired at them. Indeed, it was not
possible under the circumstances. They
fired, Mr.. Zimmerman and the conductor
think, not less than fifteen shots. thinner
man says he saw four men distinctly and
all Of them were masked. They did not
get inside the car and so have become
robbers and murderers without pay. Police,
mounted and on foot, aided by a large
force OF citizens, are patrolling the river
front and securing the country to intercept
the. sc0undrels. Mr.. Ketschum is now
under the care of surgeons. It appears
that his bladder has been penetrated by
one ball and there is no hope of his re-
c0very. The man who tumbled off the
tender has not been found. Two suspects
have been arrested,

bate participated in by a large number of
members, and without developing any in
cident Of interest vote was taken on the
motion made by Mr.. Burrows to strike out
the paragraph and it was rejected. The
amendment offered by Grosvenor Of

next Saturday will be cast for them
in the county convention on the 20th.
1t IS a primary election and will be
conducted like the general election.
Each township elects the same num-

ton for nominating state officers,
but those delegates cast the whole
number of votes polled in their re-
spcctive townships for the several
candidates. There are about 1900
democrats in the county and we
hope to learn that the full party vote

two years beginning Jan. 1st 1889.
This company is composed Of good
