cred by the Company.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan l9--Train robbers were
foiled last night in an attempt to rob an ex-
press train on the Wabash and Western
road, at Cooley's Lake, twenty four miles
west of Kansas City. The county officials
had been warned of the intended robbery
and they sent an armed posse on the train
and had another posse concealed in
the woods close to Cooley'S lake.
The programme of the robbers was carried
out all right up to a certain point. The
train was stopped by a red light, and three
men, armed with rifles, covered the engineer
and ordered him to dismount. He did so,
and as he reached the ground part of the
posse concealed in the engine gave the rob-
berS a volley. The Others on the train
came up and so did those in the woods The
robbers returned the fire from repeating
rifles, but did no harm, They ran for cover,
firing when pursuit became too close. A
report has been received that two robbers
have been captured and one killed. They
are known to be farmers living in the neigh
borhood of Missouri City.

ing wounded. The plot was given away 10y

latter officer Immediately organ
lied a posse Arnold was one of
the posse, and it was he who shot the leader
from the cab. King remained with the
men and signalled the traiu 10 stop, but
took no other part in the affair. Swinney
is said to be dangerously injured. He is a
well-known character, of rough kind, and
was charged with an attempt to blackmail
General Manager Talmage two or three
years ago.
NAMES OF THE ROBBERS.
The names of the robbers are John B.
Swinney, leader; John Hargarave, Noah
Drew and W. II. Harris. From the best in
formation at hand at this writing John
King, who has figured all day as the in
former, is Noah Drew. The men have been
taken to the Clay County Jail at Liberty,
the county seat Hargarave has
made a full confession and will
tell his story ON the witness stand next
Wednesday, when the men will have an ex-
animation. 1t is not known here how badly

The Association Decides Upon Slight
General Reduction.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.-The Rolling
Mill Association has decided upon a general
reduction of wages in the mills represented
in its organization from the basis of 22c
per bar to &c. per bar. 1t is explained that
the reduction is due to depression in the iron
trade. Edward O'DonDell, Vice President
of the Amalgamnted Association and head
of the employees organization, says that the
reduction is surprise, but that the
men will accept it because they
are bound by sliding scale and their agree
ment with their employers. Since the last
agreement was signed tpe manufacturers
advanced wages twice. THE change will
affect about 200 skilled men working in
the city There can be no further reduction
under the agreement even if iron declines
still further.
