Two Masked Robbers Held Up Train
ON tlle wabash Road saturday
Night
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 5.-Train No. 4,
which left Kansas City Saturday night
at $40 O'Clock was robbed by two
masked men at $50 o'clock while gOv
ing through the Clay county bottoms
on its way to st. Louis. The robbers
first appeared in the rear sleeper.
where they terrified the passengers by
fiourishing pistols in their faces and
ordering them to put up which they
did quietly and without any resistance.
The robbers got in this car S175 and
two gold watches. In at
tempting to pass into an
other car, they encountered the
conductor, james Reach. A tussle en-
sued in which he tried to brain one of
them with his lantern, being otherwise
unarmed. Two shots were fired at
him by the robbers while on the plat
form, but without effect. The robbers
then jumped from the train while go
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour
The Water work.
A NEWS representative visiting the
city water works yesterday evening
was AIKEN n charge and shown
over the building by Mr.. Greenway
the genial engineer. In the pumping
room everything was as clean and
neatly kept as lady's kitchen. The
engines are as bright as on the day
they were brought from the shops anC
the least. The largest one of tn
pumping engines has capacity o
2, O00, 900 gallons in twenty-fOur hours
ut recently Mr. Greenway pumped
2,o6O 900 into the reservoirs in littl
less than thirteen hours. The smalle
pump is rated at ,OOO, 900 per day, bu
the engineer thinks that the two en-
gines together can pump about 4,5OO
900 gallons in a day, although test G
this kind has never been made. n
pumping has been done for a littl
over a week, as the river has been toe
muddy. The reservoirs are each abou
half full of good clean water.
S. II. Rich is putting in one hundre
and sixty tons of coal for the use of tn
engines and at the present rate o
usage this amount will last for som
time. However, if the Santa Fe CON
pany contracts for water from the cit
water works, the amount of coal an
J water used will be materially increased
