THE ROBBERS ESCAPED.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, May s.-The
posse which left Florissant last night in
pursuit of the postoffice robbers were met
at the divide by another posse from Colo
RADIO Springs. and together the two pro-
eeeded to the almost impenetrable hiding
places of the thieves By dint OF hard
labor they finally climbed over the rocks
and through leaves, only to arrive at the
camp and find it deserted, save by the
dead man who was shot last night. The
other two robbers must have taken fight
hastily, as they even neglected 10 take the
money from the pockets Of the dead man
and also left their horses
The dead man was found as he had fall
en-, on his face, with 10 Winchester bull
let hole in his forehead. The bali
passed out behind the left ear, tearing the
entire right side of his head away. a
piece of skull two inches square was found
hanging by the skin 70 bush ten feet
from the spot where he fell Sixty-five
dollars were found in his pockets, but not
a scrap Of paper by which he could be
identified. The body was taken TO Floris-
SAINT and buried this afternoon. He was
recognized by a railroad man a. the same
party whom he knew in Trinidad as Jake
Wilson, otherwise called 'fTex" aud who
was charged with numbering an old man
for his money.
Very little hope is entertained OF getting
the other two men a. they are afoot, and
il is almost impossible 10 trace them
through the rocks. Excitement is at fever
heat, and there are men who are deter
mined TO scour the country in hopes that
the wounded mans condition will force
halt very soon.
Il is the belief Of many that this Is the
same gang who murdered the night oper-
ator for the Santa Fe railroad al Fountain
last week.

THE ANAL GAMATED ASSOCIATIONS
IOSS

PITTsBURG. Pa, May 9.-With its an
nual scale of wages almost ready to be
drawn up, the amalgamated association of
iron and steel workers is about to lose not
only its president, but its secretary and
chief trustee as well. William Wiehe has
for nearly decade filled the position of
president with marked capacity His re-
Gently announced determination to with
draw and enter on a private engage
meut that pays much better is
not only confirmed, but added to it
is the fact that Secretary William Mar
tin, another executive officer, has accepted
at New Castle-on-Tyne, in England, an
American governmental position that will
pay him even better than the commission
ership of labor, for which he was candi-
date. James II. Mutt, chief trustee of the
association is about to 90 on the retired
list to take more lucrative employment.
These men of known capacity have no
sooner made themselves invaluable to
labor than capital is ready to pay them
much better than labor can. What will
become of the scale with these men out is
problematical

AN OPERATOR,S MISTAKE.

CINCINNATI. O., May 9.-The collision on
the Cincinnati Southern railroad yester-
day, near Glen Mary, was caused by an
operators mistake in the transmission or
receipt of a train order. The order was
that all trains on that district should run
against No 2 as being five hours and
fifteen minutes late. The order got into
the hands OF the conductor and engineer
of train No. q as five hours and
fifty minutes late, giving that train thirty
five minutes time to which it was not en-
titled, and causing the collision. No pas
sengers were hurt. Fireman Burnett, of
the freight train, died at las this morning
of his injuries. Baggage Master Farrell
Mail Agents King and Corwin, Express
Messenger Dunn and Firaman Warner
were also injured, but are all reported as

IN THE TOLLS.
The Plummerville Ballot Box Thieves at
Last Made Known.

LITTLE Rock, May 9.-The federal au-
thorities think now that the theft of the
PlummerYille, Conway county. ballot box
on the night of November is at last clear
ed up. 1t will be remembered that while
the judges were counting the vote masked
men entered the room and, presenting
their pistols, demanded the box and bal
lots. OF course they got them, but for
months it was impossible to get clue to
the perpetrators OF the outrage Two
weeks ago last Sunday young man
named Warren Taylor was arrested on
charge of interfering with election officers
at Plummerville. He got scared and went
before the grand jury and there gave
evidence which has led to the clearing up
of the mystery. He testified that he was
went from MorriIlton, the coun-
ty seat, to Plummerville that
night, as they understood it, Ito preserve
peace as trouble was expected. When the
crowd arrived at Plummerville they were
halted on the outskirts and five men rode
into town. Presently they returned and
the crowd returned. On the way to Nor
rillton the five men gave it out that the
Plummerville ballot box was in the crowd.
The box was taken into Wells store at
Morrillton and burned.
This confession of Taylor's was the
means of having large number
of witnesses from Conway comfy sum-
moned before the grand jury. Yesterday
just before the grand jury adjourned
three indictments were returned and to-
day it proved these indictments were for
the Plummerville ballot box theft. The
men indicted are o. L. Bently, Walter p
Wells and Charles Ward, charged with
unlawfully Selling and carrying away the
ballot box and poll books and the follow
ing persons are charged with conspiracy
in the stealing of the box: Charles G.
Reid, Ben L. Vote, Thomas Cheyoy,
William Palmer. Warren Taylor, Fred
Lee Gunter, William L. Woods, John c.
Heard and Thad R. Wells
Reid is the young lawyer of Nor
leased after conviction in the federal
count on the change of interfering with
election judges; Young Wells is the son
of one Of the most prominent merchants
of Morrillton; c. Il. Bently is deputy
sheriff of Conway county.
Under Sheriff Shelby and Deputy Mar
shall Falkenburgh went to Morrillton to-
day and arrested all these men not pre-
viously in custody and brought them here
this evening. They were taken before
commissioner and released on bonds in
sums ranging from 81, 900 to g, 900 each
Their examination will take place at an
early date, but they cannot be tried until
the next term Of court as the appropria-
ton for the trial of criminal cases has
been exhausted. These men are all prom
inent young men and their arrest has pro-
duced great sensation.
