Two Men Start Out to Rob all the Saloons
in a Certain District.
DENVER, Oct. 6.-Information received
from Mullan, Idaho, the kill
ing of Ed. Stacey by E. A. Davidson.
Stacey and his partner, Bassett, figured
in nearly all the trouble that occurred at
that noted place, Pottsville. Stacey and
Bassett, who have been a terror to Idaho,
concluded that they would create a little
excitement by robbing every saloon from
Pottsville to Sturgis, in Montana. Dis
guising themselves with masks and old
clothes, they started on their expedition.
The first place they came to they found
only 80 cents. They then killed the pro-
prietor because he dill not have more
money. In the next saloon they found
nine men sitting at a poker game, and,
stepping into the room with a revolver in
each hand, they commanded all to throw
up their hands, which was Immediately
done. Stecey held his revolver while his
partner Bassett searched them, getting
about 5000. Crossing the road to an
other saloon, they broke the door down
and were going to rob the saloonkeeper,
young Davidson, who was sleeping in
the saloon. AS soon as the desperadoes
stepped inside of the door they began
shooting at Davidson, who was sitting on
the bed. Davidson returned the fire and
brought down Stacey. A posse started
in search Of Bassett. If captured, he
will be lynched.

Wrecks a Train and Kills an Engineer on
1.-THE Northern Pacific.
HELENA, Mont, Oct. Am accident
occurred last night on the Northern Pa
cifc railroad at Mullen, a small station
west of here, and at the foot of the east
slope of the main range of the Rocky
mountains. The east-bound passenger
train passed Mullen in safety and came
down the slope at the usual rate of speed.
The switch lights are visible for some
distance through the shrubbery and the
lights indicated that everything was all
right. There is a safety switch at the
station which had been left open, and
the locomotive was standing on the side
track. The passenger rounded the curve
and crossed the bridge safely, but dashed
into the switch and the locomotive be-
fore it could be stopped. Engineer Mas
ser remained at his post to the last and
was instantly killed. The fireman was
badly Injured and may die. The mail
coach was derailed, but the frst-class
and sleeping cars remained on the track.
No passengers were injured. Masser
leaves a young wife. He was on a spe-
cial run. having relieved a regular engi-
neer temporarily. The conductor of the
freight train is responsible for the acct
lent as he neglected to have the switch
turned. He can be held on the charge
of manslaughter. Officers have been
hunting for him but he is not to be
found.

4 GREAT CONFEDERATION.

An Effort Will be Made to Unite ALL the
Organizations of Railroad Employees.
P1TTsBuRG,O Oct. 3.-The twenty-seventh
annual convention of the International
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, to
be held in this city on the 18th inst, will
attract the attention of railroad officials
and the members of trainmen's organiza-
tions to a greater extent than any similar
convention held in years. On the action
of this convention depends the future
policy of every organization of railroad
men in this country. The united order
of railway employees, composed of the
brotherhood of railroad conductors, the
brotherhood of fremen and the switch
mems mutual aid association, has invited
the engineers to become members of this
federation. In case the engineers accept
this invitation, the railway employees will
have an organization of greater power
than YER before existed. It will be
practically invulnerable. Should the
engineers refuse to cooperate, the fed
GRAFTON will stand as at present. Promi-
nent engineers are reticent as to their
desires in this matter. The desire IF the
trainmen to bring about the alliance has
had its effect, and the indications now
seem to be that. a majority of the en-
gineers are in favor Of it. The differ
ences between the engineers and the
fremen's organizations have been ad-
justed and the old antipathy of the fire.
men is ended. This, therefore, will not
initiate against a coalition.

A Horrible Double Murder.

New ALBANY, Ind, Oct. 2.-This
morning, VIM. Carroll, lS-year-old son of
John Carroll, a painter, and Louis
Griggs, a young carpenter, got into a
fight as the result of a scufle begun in
fun, and killed each other. The two had
for years been acquaintance and we're on
friendly terms. Griggs was slightly
crippled. They we're standing on a cor
ner with a crowd of young men who were
skylarking. In the midst of it Griggs
complained that Carroll had struck him
unfairly. Carroll thought it was all in
fun and thought there wal no cause for
him to show temper. Griggs became
more violent at this and Carroll finally
said: eff you we're not crippled, I'd whip
you" and turned away to join the crowd.
Griggs stood still a moment, then quiet
ly drew a big knife, and, %concealing it in
his sleeve, joined the crowd also. Nov
ing around as they talked till he came
Immediately in front of Carroll, he sud-
denly drew the knife and plunged it into
CAROLS breast, over the heart. He then
fed across the street toward a livery sta
BILE. Carroll, recovering from the shock,
knocked the knife from the wound
and, checking the flow of blood by grasp
ing the wound in one hand and gave
chase to Griggs. Catching Griggs just
at the stable door, he stabbed him in the
left side. Screaming fr~antically, Griggs
fought desperately to get loose, but Car
roll held him and, drawing the knife,
stabbed him again and again in the right
side, pushing at the knife to make sure
it had gone as deep as it
could. Griggs sank fainting and Car
roll fell dead at his side. The knife had
touched his heart. Griggs was taken
home but cannot recover.

THE TRIAL.
The Evidence of a Policeman Causes
Great Excitement.

"a
Great Excitement.
DUBLIN, Oct. 3.-Much excitement was
occasioned in the court room at Upper
airy to-day by the evidence of one of the
witnesses, a policeman, who testified that
he followed several of the defendants
into the vestry of the Catholic church
and tried to overhear what was said
by them. But the testimony aroused
the indignition of the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, and he demanded to know if
the penal days had returned, when the
sanctity of the confessional could be in
vaded. The court room became a chorus
of cries and the confusion was SO great
that it was impossible to go on with the
proceedings and court was there
fore declared adjourned for half an
hour. When court reopened the police
man witness was cross examined by
Harrington, who called the witness
shadow The magistrate called upon
Harrington to withdraw the expression.
Harrington refused to do so and was or
dered to leave the case. An uproar ensued,
O'Brien and Dillon, commenting freely
upon the manner in which the case was
conducted. Finally another half hour
adjournment was ordered. During the
adjournment, Harrington's clients de-
cided to defend themselves. When the
proceedings we're resumed, Dillon had
just begun to address the bench when a
cheer was raised for Harrington. This
so exasperated the magistrate that he or
dered the court cleared, and the pro-
ceedings we're adjourned abruptly amid
the greatest confusion. A large body of
police was massed outside the court.
There was no rioting.

The Black Hills Fire.

ST. PAUL, Oct. "A Rapid City special
to the Pioneer Press says: The forest
fires in all parts of the Black Hills are
being got under control, but cannot be
extlnguished entirely until it rains. In
the tin district about sixty square miles
have been burned over, but on most of it
only brush and dead trees were de-
stroyed. In the northern hills compare
lively little damage was done. It is i'm
possible to estimate the loss of timber and
to mountain ranches and mining camps.
Fires during the present season have
been the most destructive in the history
of the Black Hills, and, though much
feeling has been aroused, no arrests
have been made. No one has yet been
caught setting the fire.

IdahO's Election.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, Oct. 2.-Incom.
plete returns from seven counties out of
eighteen in the state give Sweet, repub-
lican, for congress 1,500 majority. The
same counties in 1888 gave Dubois, the
republican delegate, $50 majority. The
entire state is republican by 1850 to
1900 majority. Late returns show that
the legislature will probably stand thir-
ty-threo republicans to nineteen demo-
Gratis. Owing to the great distance of
many precincts from telegraphic COM
munication, returns are coming in very
slowly and it will be several days before
returns from the entire state will be re-
ceived.

mediately after the train left Urbana, at
3:2O o'clock, two masked men, with

work, a brakeman attempted to enter the
car and was shot at by one of the robbers.
He gave the alarm and the train was
slowed up to give an opportunity to cap
ture the robbers; but they jumped from
the train Just as it was entering West
Liberty. One of the robbers, whom the
other called "Jack,' tried to kill Scudder
before leaving the car. Placing his re-
volver at his head, he pulled the trigger,
but the cartridge failed to explode. The
other robber then prevented him from
trying again. When the train pulled out
of West Liberty, the two scoundrels
again got aboard, holding the entire crew
at bay. Scudder, who had been released
opened fire on them with a pistol from
his car door, but was compelled to re.
treat. The robbers kept on board unit
Bellefontaine was reached, when they
again jumped off and disappeared. The
officers at Bellefontaine are searching fol
them. Two arrests of suspicious char
acters have been made.
