for the south bound passenger train on the
Minneapolis lS ST Louis railway. The two
travelling men were the only occupants of
the platform. Three tramps, with u caution
and precision of action which shows that
they premeditated an assault, crept on them
from behind and succeeded in binding and
gagging the two unfortunates before they
knew what had happened. They then went
through them and relieved them of Si5 in
cash and two gold Watches. Having satisfied
themselves that they had secured all the val
uablcs, they carried their victims out short
distance on the country road, where they
left them and returned to board the
train for which the travelling men were wait
ing. After some time one of the victims
succeeded in loosening his bonds. and re-
leasing his comrade and they returned TO the
depot IL was then about IL o'clock. Oni-
GERS were notified, but the tramps had
jumped from the train before they could be
secured and have since eluded the officers.

THE SPEED RING.
Grand Circuit Races.


BUFFALO, N. Y, August 7.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. There was larger
crowd and some fine contests for the second
day of the grand circuit meeting. The time
made shows the track to have been in good
shape, three trotters entering the 2:20 list,
while the PAGERS went several fast heats.
Although sixteen heats were disposed OF, !,
only two races were decided, leaving two
others to be finished tomorrow before the
regular programme can be reached.
OF the many fast miles, the two heats
trotted by the Maine bred stallion, Nelson,
were the most sensational Nelson was
and he did so in straight heats.
In the first he and the gray
gelding Sensation kept together
| till near the wire when Nelson drew away
| aud won the heat in 2:15. The next mile
was slower, and Lady Bullion finished close
| on the stallion. In the third heat Nelson
was sent from the half, and again was cred
| tied with 2l5 for the mile, many outsiders
| making it 2l4$l, last half :06
The other stake, for the 1921 trotters, was
| thought TO be within the powers OF Auleine
| a mare bred by the owner OF Nelson, and by
| the same sire. Auloine got two heats, one
| in 21916 and then the Boston stallion j. Il.
Shedd was cut loose and the next three heats
were won by him. The finishes in the third
| were exciting, Shedd winning in the last few
yards
The PAGERS had battle of five heats, and
| still the issue is in doubt. Roy Wilkes was
| a favorite till Gossip, jr., beat him in the
| third heat, and the latter was the choice
| thereafter. Jewett surprised everybody by
| his finish in the fifth heat when Gossip
| seemed TO have the race won.
The three heats Of the 2:20 trot were fast.
| Jack was 3 to favorite till Greylight led
| the way in 2:171S for the first heat, and when
he carried the Chicago crack to break in
| the second heat. He was the choice at to
| in the third heat. Jack and Greylight both
broke on the homestretch, the former catch
| ing first and getting past the other gray.
Besides these two unfinished contests,
there are four events for Thursday, ,nclud.
ing the match between Harry Wilkes and
Belle Hamlin, in which the latter Is q
favorite. Summary:
