A DESPERATE STAGE ROBBER.
Single Handed He Holds Up q

TWO PASSENGERS WOUNDED.

Little Chance of Recovery

Shooting.
A vindictive Villain.

ASHLAND, Wis, August 26.--Back Bart's
daring deeds in the mountain passes of Cali
fornia were outdone to-day by alone highway
man who held up and robbed the stage that
runs between Gogeblc (on the Milwaukee.
Lake Shore & Eastern railroad just over the
line in Michigan) aud Gogebic lake, sum-

at a lively gait through the dense forest,
about two miles from the station, man
jumped out in front of it and pointing
two big revolvers at the driver COM

same ii me extending tho same order to the
four passengers inside the coach, with the
further provision that they "shell out" their
loose valuables and currency Que of the
passengers went down in his pocket, but in
stead of bringing up pocketbook he took
pistol out and began firing at the robber.
The desperate Immediately returned the fire,
and although the driver whipped his horses
into a gallop his aim was true. d. Macker-
char, bookkeeper in the First Ma
tional bank, Of Minneapolis received the first
bullet in his cheek, while the second went
crashing through his leg. Another passen-
gen named A G.. Eleeschbain, of Belleville,
ILL.,, was mortally wounded. He rose up in
the seat as the horses were whipped away
just in time to receive bullet in the nip.
He fell forward and pitched over the side of
the coach into the roadway. The horses
continued to run and the wounded man was
left to take his chances with the robber.
The villain threatened at first to kill him,
but finally desisted after securing S37 and
his victims watch and chain.
The wounded man lay bleeding in the road
for three hours before any one courageous

The physicians say he will not live over

BRUTAL MURDER AT RAwL,Ns.
A Shoemaker Named Keri Kicked
and Beaten to Death.

RAwLrSs, Wyo., August 26-.[Special
Telegram to The Bee. .l-The most sickening
murder in the annals of our city came to
light to-day. Herman Korl, shoemaker,
was literally kicked and beaten TO death
Saturday night by brute named Paddy
Golden, who in the darkness of the night
threw the body OF his victim into the creek
just below where the murder was committed
and covered it with dirt aud rubbish. From
conversation wth-wtnesses of the horrible
affair the following particulars are obtained:
Kerl had been drinking during Saturday
afternoon and in the evening went into the
Foster house, low lodging house, where he
found the propretess endeavoring to make her
mother-in-law, who was drunk, leave the
premises. Kerl interfered, when Golden
struck him, knocking him down. He then
threw him out and. following him, kicked
him In the face aud head until he was insen-
sible. There were q number of witnesses,
who carried Kerl into the house, where they
left him. He was never seen alive again.
The witnesses to the affair claim that they
did not report it because they thought he
was IN bed and was not seriously injured.
When it was discovered this morning that he
was missing search was made and
sne enee ssd above was aescrbeS esnd The face 'fs is
terribly mutilated, the nose being broken,
the skull cracked, and the body shows

FIFTY PASSENGERS INJURED.
Disastrous Wreck on the Santa Fc
Road Near Strentor

Road Near Streator.
CHICAGO, August 20 The Journals Strea-
tor, ILL.,, special says: The vestbulo train
on the Santa Fe route running between
Kansas City aud Chicago mot with q serious
accident at Kinsman, a small station about
fifteen miles north of here, at o'clock this
morning. The train was heavily loaded with
Grand Army veterans and their friends
bound for the Milwaukee encamp-
ment, ana consisted of several
extra coaches. Three coaches, two
Pullman sleepers and the dining car were
thrown from the track and down n steep cmi-
baukment a distance of forty feet. Word
was Immediately telegraphcd TO this city for
medical assistance aud special train was
sent at once with dozen surgeons on board.
A wrecKer was also sent out to clean up the
track. Those most seriously injured
were brought to this city and
taken to st. Mary's hospital,
where their wounds were properly attended
to. In all there were probably fifty persons
hurt, and though none were killed outright,
many are in very dangerous condition.
The majority, 1t is feared, will die.
Three of the injured are reported to have
since died, one of the three being Mrs. Grace
Peters, of Emporia, Kan. Exact informa-
tion is hard to obtain, owing to the extreme
reticence of the railroad company.
The accident was caused by a char car,
which was third behind the engine, jumping
the track. IL was ditched instantly, turning
with it the three sleepers behind. A rail
was found projecting through the bottom Of
the chair car and out of the side, about three
feet from the bottom. The train was run
ming at high rate of speed. The track
where the derailment occurred Is understood
to have been in poor condition. 1T Is believed
that if the train had been of the ordinary
pattern instead of vestibuled the loss of life
would have been fifty.
