also ordered the superintendent Of the

The Forest Fires in Yellowstone Park.
MAMMOTH Hor SPRiNas, Wyo., August
3.-The reports OF terrible danger and
great losses from forest fires in Yellowstone
National park are SO much exagger-
ated as to be almost wholly unfounded.
There have been, and are yet, some fires,
but the soldiers have worked hard and
successfully to overcome them. Only the
fires near any roads or buildings have
been kept under control, and are not
spreading. On the east side Of the lake,
where there is no road or buildings, the
fire is still burning. There is no danger
to tourists, who are scattered all over the
mark. and feel no fears. The hotel people
have never troubled over possible .larm,
but kept on steadily building new hotels
at Grand Canyon and Lake.

An Effort to Connect Him With the Late
Train Robbery-His Displays.
ST.. LOUIS, August 5.-It is given out on
the authority OF tine postoffice inspector,
whose headquarters are in this city, that
the famous bandit and train robber,
"Black Bart" was in st. Louis for ten days
prior to last Friday, and it is suspected
that he had something to do with, if he did
not direct in person, the train robbery near
Kansas City last night. Bart took his
meals at the hotel Brunswick restaurant
while in the city, and according to the
statements of the clerk OF the hotel he had
cords of money, which he displayed o.
tentatiously and lost no opportunity to
surround himself with mystery. He did
not give his name, however, nor say what
business he was engaged in, but attempted
to convey the idea that he was far west
farmer.
He ordered a large lunch at the res.
taurant Friday evening, and said he in
tended to leave the city by train. Since
then he has not reen seen. It is not known
in what direction he went, but there is q
strong disposition to connect him with the
train robbery.
