ANOTHER DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.


DENVER. Col. Aug. THE Rio Grande
Western train, No. 3, known as "The Mo-
doc." was held up near Crevasse last night
by train-robbers. Two of the men boarded
the baggage car at Thompson Springs
They climbed over the engine, pointed re-
volvers at the heads of the engineer and
fireman and compelled them to stop the
train. They forced the fireman to attempt
to chop through the door OF the express
car, and made the engineer bring bag to
hold the plunder. Messenger Willis was
ready with magazine shotgun
and two self-cocking revolvers.
The fireman was unable to chop
through the boiler iron door, SO
the robbers fired dozen shots through the
car. Messenger Willis lay on the floor,
and was not hit. The robbers dared not
show their heads at the broken windows.
lest they should be shot. They gave it up,
and Joined two other robbers back In the
other cars.
The four went through the train with
their revOlvers drawn, md gathered $500
and twenty watches. One passenger put
his head out of the window to see what
was going on. and the robbers sent bullet
through his hat. Most of the passengers
hid their valuables successfully, those
losing them being too frightened to hide
them.
A posse has gone from Green River. Two
deputy United States marshals went out
this morning from Salt Lake with blood
hounds.

that four years ago he became financially
interested in a patent fire-escape. He lost
all the money he put in, and in the embar-
rassment thus caused he resOrted to the
step of issuing false certificates of stock.
He forged the signatures of the company's
treasurer and secretary, and sold about zoo
shares of this bogus stock. Many Of the
shares are now in the hands of innocent
holders. The false issue went on for four
years without detection.

Malietoa Returns, Disposseses Tamaseses and
Insults the Germans.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Aug. THE latest news from
Samoa is causing q stir throughout Ger
many, and if the advices which have been
received here through German channels are
confirmed, there is reason to fear new and
serious complications which may entirely
undo the work of the recent Samoan con-
ference in Berlin. According to these ac-
counts King Malietoa, who has been
brought back to Apia by German man-of-
war, with the express understanding that
the status quo should be maintained until
the treaty drafted by the conference could
be ratified by the United States Senate, he's
entirely repudiated this agreement. I'M
medIately upon his landing he gathered his
followers together, and compelled King
Tamasese to hand over to him the prison
and the police force of Apia. He dis
missed the German police superintendent,
Herr Won Wolffersdorff, and released
from prison several natives who had
been arrested by his order. At last
accounts the entire municipal government
of Apia was in the hands of Malietoa,
whose men were patrolling the city. armed,
and Tamasese, though nOminally King.
kept himself, perforce. very secluded.
What excites the Germans still more
than this breach of faith on the part of
Maliet0a is the gratuitOus insult heaped
upon the German Emperor at a sort of na-
tional fete held in Apia by Maletoa and
his followers. On this occasion the dead
baby dance" of the Samoans took place,
only. instead of the traditional dead baby,
MalietOa's followers carried in the process
sion bust of Emperor William L, which,
in all likelihood, had been washed ashore
from the wreck of the German war-ship
EDer. When the German consul heard of
this insult he promptly made a demand
upon Malietoa for this bust, and it is now
in his possession.

SUFFERINGS OF ARCTIC EXPLORERS.
Only Eight of the Little 0hiO's Crew Of Thirty.
Three Survived the Winter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-There has been
received at the Navy Department. from
Lieutenant-commande Charles H. Stock
ton, in command of the Thetis, a report of
the movements of the vessel in the Arctic
ocean, and of the rescue of the survivors
of the whaling barks Little Ohio and
Ohio Second, recently wrecked on Nanwok
island, Behring sea. The report is dated
July 8, off st. Michaeps island, where the
steamer had just arrived from Point Hope,
Arctic ocean. Commander Stockton says:
''The Little Ohio was wrecked on the night
of Oct. 8. last year. The survivors spent
the winter at that place, being generously
cared for at the whaling establishment in
charge of Captain Boyne. Of the
thirty three persons said to be on board
the Little Ohio, but eight survive. Five
of these were taken on board the whali ng
steamer William Lewis three days before
my arrival at Port Hope, and the remain
der are aboard the Thetis. The Ohio Sec
ond was totally wrecked off the north end
of Nanwok island about June 6, this year,
but no loss of life occurred. / learned also
from the whaling vessels that l met In the
Arctic that the whaling schooner James A.
from San Francisco, had not yet been heard
fromD
Sailing from Ounalaska juno "a, the
Thetis visited st. Paul island June 25 and
st. Matthew's island June %. There were
no evidences found of human life on st.
Matthew's island and but few traces of polar
bears Thence the Thetis sailed to Rehring
straits entering the Arctic ocean July 3.
On the next day Commander Stockton
learned of the wreck of the Little Ohio and
took OH board the survivors of her crew
and returned to ST. MichaePs.
Speaking of the care of the survivors of
the Little Ohio, Commander Stockton says:
1T is doubtful if any would have survived
the winter if left To the care of the natives
Great credit is due Captain Paul BOyne for
his generous care OF the men. though the
establishment was short of provisions; and
this is especially due to him when it is
stated that his humane conduct was not in
accordance with the verbal instructions of
the owners of the whaling establishment,
a wealthy firm in San Francisco" Com
mander Stockton announces his intention
of leaving st. MichaePs July 10 for Port
Clarence to receive supplies for the refuge
station at Point Barrow as well as to
communicate again with the revenue
steamer Bear. The commander expected
to reach Point Barrow Aug. 10. He reports
the health of all the officers and men of the
Thetis to be excellent.
