ELLIS JUNCTION, Wis, Nay 30.-The
Mysterious "lone highwsyman" who
successfully robbed three stage coaches
in Shawano County, has turned his at
tention TO a new field. Last night as
the north-bound passenger train on the

point, a man walked deliberately
through the rear coach to the rear door,
and reaching that asked the brake eman:

have Just left2'
Beaver" was the reply.
well, said the stranger, drawing a
pistol from his hip pocket, Il guess I'll
trouble you to shell out what spare
change you have in your pocket"
The brakeman complied, and then
the daredevil proceeded on his mer-
cenary mission, calling upon each pas
6enger In a similar manner. AS he re-
lieved each passenger he made him
walk ahead, and kept up this pro-
gramme until he had visited every
coach in the train. Having secured
methlng from every one he backed his
way out, still holding his revolver be-
fore him, and leaped from the train in
the dark just as the train was pulling
into this station. L. c. Allen, travel
ingman from Marinette, vas relieved of
$40 and a gold watch. John Wells, OF

and So. James Hughes, of Iron River,

of Random Lake, Wis, had $400 in his
pocket, but the bold highwayman
missed him in the confusion.
The robber was dressed like lum-

about feet inches tall, and weighed
about 140 pounds. Deputy Sheriff

too weak to continue the struggle long
er Shortly after the murderer was
captured by the police. People sur
rounded the Jail on all sides to guard
against any attempt to remove him.
Several secret meetings were held with

be stormed at O'Clock P NJ. The police
guarded the entrance to the Jail.
The prisoner was in the room on the
third story farthest from the main en-
trance He was terribly frightened,
but denied his guilt and told several
conflicting stories, which were readily
found to be false. He gave his name as
Nat Olyphant, and his home as Pueblo,
Col. At 40 this afternoon the Rev. DR..
McCabe addressed the crowd from the
Jail balcony, and advised law and order.
He was listened to attentively, but after
his speech there were, for the
time, cries of Throw him

the evening the crowd increased, :,
and at o'clock the Jail was s,ormed.
The officers made a desperate resist
ance, and it WIS II O'Clock when the un-
fortunate wretch was dragged out. He
showed astonishing courage, and when
asked if he had anything to say replied
that he was guilty. His last words were
" Be sure you break my neck" He was
hanged to a telegraph pole at Sixth and
