tournaments. The reflection that makes
him sad is, therefore, that he failed TO
puncture the anainomy OF the robber, and
lay him out as food for buzzards. Mr.
Wilkinson need not feel 80 very badly
about il, though, us his indomitable cour-
age in the matter of attempting the thing
moro than offsets his failure at markham
ship. Had there been in all that crowd OF
passengers but half a dozen such men as
he and Hughes, those robbers would have
found themselves in the midst Of one OF
the liveliest jobs ever undertaken by men
OF their stripe.
THE RIGHT SORT or TALK AND ACTION.
II the robbers succeed in evading the
officers who will be placed on their trail,
then they will bo good ones indeed. The
railroad officials will cooperate with the
express company and Mississippi authori-
ties In everything. General Superinten-
dent Beck and Col. Moran, superintendent
OF the lines south Of Cairo, who accompa-
MED Mr.. Agce 10 the scene. took more
than passive interest in the matter.
They were both on their feet all Of sun
day, surveying the ground and Watching
every point disclosed by the testimony OF
witnesses in the investigation. To Mr..
Agco they stated that the Illinois Central
Company would spare no pains or cX-
ponso in the premises, and said further,
owe must get those men," This is tho
sort Of talk that gives the public full as-
suranco that lively agencies ARE in motion
for their capture. The express and rail-
road companies have offered 81 900 each
Tor the arrest Of the robbers, and Gov.
Lowry, Of Mississippi, $500 more.
TIM LOSS.
Tho loss win not prove so great M ut
first supposed. Messenger Harris had not
found an his vouchers at the time OF Mr.
Agcc's conference with him sunday, those
turned over showing only about Sl7OO.
II Is believed by the company, however,
that the amount taken was larger than
that, hut would not exceed -, 500. In the
excitement aud confusion some Of the
papers Vt the messenger were more than
likely misplaced. The express company
has given ont no intimation whatever
what construction Il placed upon the
action OF the messenger In opening the
door after hearing the two shots. and this
Ia the face OF knowledge that his COM
pany had lived under nm anticipation Of
an attack from train robbers.
VINO wEnE rnE RoonrRs?
Chief of Police Davis is Of the opinion
that the robbers wcro Bunch and Rent
Burrows, the man who made himself
conspicuous figure ono year ago 10y a Train
robbery aud subsoqent escape from officers
nt Montgomery, Ala. Capt. O'llaycr does
not sharu the same view az Ia Burrows,
but accepts the Bunch proposition; so also
does Mr. Agcc, who Is positive that the
smaller OF the two men cannot be either
Bunch Or Burrows, lao being smaller than
either Of them.
