What Is due them, but tho president is the
Honorable and oN Mayor William Means

OF course all readers Of current news
know that Hon William Means was once
elected mayor Of Cincinnati on a reform

made tho election great honor 10 him; but
this gives tat faint idea of tho shock his
arrest caused ia Cincinnati lie was much
more than an cxmayor. very much more
than q reform politician, q successful bank
president and wealthy man, he was a
highly respected and public spirited citizen,

promoter Of all the schemes in which Gin

And yet II looks very much as II this
prominent and highly respected man had
been swept from bis moral anchorage by the
waves Of speculation, ard had violated the
most stringent Of the national bank laws by
borrowing the banks money far beyond the
allowed limit, and allowing a syndicate Of
directors to put $4,000 Of stockholders
money INFO real estate spo~ulations
Here is tho history in b. icf: One year ago

one knows how much money went into the

something, win or lose But q syndicate Of
directors Of the Metropolitan invested $500

TRAIN ROBBERS Fo1LnD.

brave Brakeman Rcsists Their Onslaught,
snd They Are Compelled TO Floe-A Posse
Hot on Their Trail.
RAwLTxs, VIZ. T., Aug. 10.--At 9 a. m.
The east-bound Union Pacific passenger
train was attacked by robbers ct water
tank two miles east Of Dana Station. The
engineer, Breeze, was oiling his en-
gine, and Fireman Wallen was giving the
engine water from thc tank, when three
mon rushed up to the front end Of the train
and cried out: "Ffold up your hands,
you -" The engineer did 30, and
the flreman jumped down from the
tender and was shot a. soon % no
struck tho ground, receiving q feth wound
in the right arm. In tho meantime . cor.
slant fire was kept up ON the train by
some of the robbers concealed by the
darkness, and about fifty yards from the
train. Tho front brakeman, VIM. Tillman,
when told to hold up his hands did so.
when tho order was repeated: "Higher,
you = I" He was standing on the stops OF
the engine at tho time, so he lifted his
hands higher, his lantern dropped, whom
he was ordered to pick II up again. Hc
stopped down to do SO, and at tho same
time grasped lump Of coal and smashed
tho robber in the face, staggering him back
ward, and then jumped on him. des-
perate hand to hand conflict took place,
both men rolling down the cinder bank into
the track ditch. The brakeman was finally
shot in Che arm and through the hip,
splintering the bone, the bullet, forty.
ave caliber, passing out When the rob.
bers found they were foiled, they aban-
doned the attack and fed. The passengers
were uninjured. A posse Of men, mounted
on feet horses and we'll armed, left Rawiins
on q special train for Dana, lcd by Deputy
Sheriff Hanks. They struck the trail
Of the robbers mile and half north Of
the scene OF attack. The camp Of the rob.
bers was found. Their horses were newly
shod, and the trail oasy to follow. The
brakeman's cap was found two hundred
yards south Of the tank, dropped there by
the robbers In order to mislead the pursuit.
Five hundred dollars per head for the rob-
bers, dead or alive, Ia offered by the Union
Pacific Company, and $500 by the Governor
Of Wyoming Territory.
