A CLOSE SHAVE.

VestIbule Limited Train Very
Nearly Comes 10 GFIsf.
n CANTON, Ohio, April 10.-Another at
tempt to wreck the west-bound limited
vestibule express on the Fort Wayne
road was made last night near Louisville,
at the same place that the attempt to
wreck the same train was made last
Tuesday night An employee of the
road discovered the dastardly design just
in time to Illustrate it. Upon
investigation he found that several
railroad ties had been securely
strapped across the rails. Knowing
that the Limited" was almost due, and
that he would be unable to remove the
ties before the train arrived, he ran east
ward along the track to warn the ap-
preaching train. The engineer saw the
signal of danger which the employee
waved and applied the brakes, but the
train did not come to standstill until it
struck the obstruction on the track. The
trainmen removed the ties, and the train
proceeded without any of the passengers
aboard knowing the narrow escape they
had had from serious smashup.

IAssocisted Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SALT LAKE, April 10.-The four men
who robbed the train at Cafion Diablo
last month were brought here to-
day by four Arizona officers,
having been captured In Southern
Utah. The officers had a 500 miles
chase over rivers, mountains and plains,
ending in a pitched battle, forcing the
robbers to abandon their horses and
scatter in the bush, where it took two
days search to secure them. The party
left for Denver this afternoon, after
six hours rest in this CITY,
The officers had hard trip over des-
olate country, and first sighted the rob.
bers on April 1st, in Wahwee Canon,
about forty miles east of Caflonville in
this Territory. The officers called on the
men to surrender, and were answered
with volley from the six-ehooters with
which they were all armed. The
country being heavily timbered,
both parties were we'll protected, and
battle ensued After about fifty shots
had been exchanged the robbers con-
cluded that it was getting too warm for
them and, leaving their horses.
they beat a hasty retreat on
foot. The country was covered with
dense growth of underbrush which made
the pursuit very difficult, but the officers
persisted and soon overhauled Bill Stin-
eau, a noted deperado, and probably the
leader of the gang. The next day
Charles Clark and John Smith were cap
tured, and on April 4th James Ounce was
gathered in. They had now succeeded
in their object, bat another difficulty
presented itself. To return with their
prisoners over the road they had come
would be no small undertaking, and,
after consideration, it was decided to
press on to Milford and then to Denver by
way of Salt Lake, and then take the Santa
Fe for Prescott. 1t is not known
even by the officers just how much
money was stolen, but that found on the
men, together with what has been ac-
counted for, amounts to over 81 900. On
the way up one of the prisoners made
confession, SO that there is
not the slightest doubt as to the
right parties having been cap
tured. All of the prisoners are we'll
educated, and Smith claims to be the
son of a Baptist minister Officer Holton
says he formerly knew Stinesu in New
Mexico, where he trained with hard
gang, and was generally considered
tough. Their ages are, Clark %, Ounce
26, Smith 27 and Stineau about
80. They were quite jolly when
first arrested, but are beginning
to show signs of dropping. Train.rob-
bing was made a capital offence by the
last Arizona Legislature, and as the
Court sits in May they are in fair way
to reap the reward which their villainy
merits. The party will arrive in Pres
colt Tuesday night.

JOURNAL PROSPERITY.

The Journal came out last week
in an enlarged form. 1t is q good
paper, and Brother Dawson one
among the best newspaper men in
the State. The ARGUS wishes the
Journal many years Of continued
prosperity. 1t is deserving Of it.
1t has always been faithful and
constant advocate of all enterprises
which had tendancy to build up
Preston county, and the Journal
may well be taken as an index to the
advancement and prosperity of the
county of Preston since it's first
publication.
We are glad to note this evidence
Of prosperity, and hope onr neigh
Dor will in the future, make his pa
per an entirely home product by dis
pensing with the "plate matter he
gets from Cincinnati. While we
reJolce with our nelghbor at his
prosperity, we must correct a
statement made in his last issue. 1t
says: "The Journal Printing House
is the best equipped printing Office
in this section" The Journal is
Pi0VeJ wei eYuIPPeu, DuS NC aesert
that the ARGUS is better equipped
office than the Journal, and is ac-
knowledged to be by almost every
printer in town. Indeed the Jour
naPs own workmen have acknowl-
edged the fact to us. We hope our
friend over street will confine itself
to facts when it wants to blow it's
horn.

men starvation wages so the poor
things can't strike, while the man
ufacturer will pocket the immense
profits which the high protection
guarantees to him, he will make his

and at the proper time have them

as though it benefited the poor
