About four miles west of Guth-
rie in the edge of Boone County,
lives an old colored woman who is
perhaps tie oldest person on earth
Her name is Dina Jacobs, and is
about 130 years old. She is total
ly blind, and almost deaf. Her
home Is with her youngest child,
Bob Jacobs, who is 70 years old,
and she resembles a mummy more
than a living woman. Our infomr-
ant, Mr.. Dunkieburg, says he
stopped at the house to escape the
rain and had a good look at the
old lady. She was brought from
Kentucky by the Jacobs at an
early day From such reputable
citizens as Ambros and Ed. Young
and the Ellis family her age is
computed. They say she was IA
years old at the close of the Revo-
lutionary war.-Fu,ton Sun.

Train Robbery.

A partially successful attemp t
to rob the Wabash passenger
train, which leaves Kansas City at
500 p. IN. was made Saturday
night, soon after leaving Kansas
City.
From the best accounts at hand
it appears that the two robbers
must Lhave gotten the front plat
form Of the smoker at the Union
Depot in Kansas City. The train
came almost to a standstill be fore
crossing the bridge over the Kaw.
Here the men got off, ran around
lumber pile and caught on to the
rear of the Des Moines sleeper.
The rear brakeman was forward
on some business, which aided the
robbers in their plan. They hasti-
ly tied cheap cotton bandanna
handkerchiefs over their faces,
drew their reyolyers and entered
the car, the door of which, under
the rules of the Pullman Company,
should have been locked, and
quietly commenced business.
There were six passengers in the
sleeper, five men and lady, ana
in response to the emphatic order
of "hands up" up went their
hands, and while one robber COW
cred the terrified passengers with
his glittering gun, the other re-
lieved the passengers of their val
uables. They then passed into
the st Paul coach, which had but
few passengers in it, and repeat
ed their success in the sleeper.
They had evidently not got all
they wanted, for they had deter
mined to so through the st. Louis
sleeper, which was fully occupied.
AS they reached the platform of
the "Kamela," which is the name
of the sleeper, the door opened and

lantern in hand, on his fare-col-
lecting tour.
Two revolvers were thrust into
his face, and he was profanely
odered to up with his hands" For
sal instant he thought he wss the
victim of practical joke, but
harsh repetition of the command
with the addition of "Or I'll blow
the top of your head OFF" left him
no doubt as to the truth of the
situation. Reach does not know
whether he is a brave man or not,
but whether lie was actuated by q
sense of fear, nervousness OF duty,
the result was the same, for with
a powerful swing of his lantern,
he dashed it full into the face Of
the robber nearest him, smashing
the globe into flinders, bending
the polished brass wire guards
and putting out the light. The
door was open in the meanwhile
and the crash Of his lantern was
followed instantly by shot from
the robber who was not struck,
who to get shot at the brave
conductor, stuck his revolver
through the crack of the door and
fired. The shot missed the plucky
official and passed out through the
inside window of the smoking
room and an outside window OF
the coach.
This deliberate atte mpt at mur.
der aroused all the indignation Of
Reach, and he hurled his lantern
, directly at the head of the one
who had shot, striking him square
ly. Ths fellow was dazed by the
! blow and half turned, at which
instant the conductor slammed
the door shut. The other robbel
: fired at that instant, but his weap
4 on must have been of inferio,
! u make, for although it struck th'
! woodwork OF the Pullman doc
y directly on line with the hear
of the valiant conductor, it failec
, to penetrate the thick oak plank
and lodged in the wood.
) Reach, after the second shot
: jumped behind the dressing room
Il and started forward to get a revol
. yer, but the robbers, seeing tha
!. : the game was up, jumped fron
! the train, which was going at full
d speed, alightlng without injur
n and escaping in the darkness.
