The English syndicate that have control
OF the Pilisbury mills here failed In their
effort to get a monopoly of the immense
milling business at Minneapolis. The
lease of the Washburn- Crosby company OF
the G. G. Washbum mills expires In Sep
tember. For the last year the syndicate
bss been negotiating with the heirs Of @.
@. Washburn for the purpose of obtaining
the lease upon the expiration OF time OF
the Washburn- Crosby company. The
heirs we're willing 10 lease with certain
stipulations, the principal one being that
the Washburn brand be rated and sold AT
the same price as Pillsburys Best. This
was objected 10 by Pillsbury and the syndi-
cate. Negotiations were entered into by
the Washburn- Crosby company for re-
Dewal Of their lease. +. T.. Holmes, on
behalf OF the syndicate, got out an inJune-
tion restraining the @. O. Washburn com
pany from executing the lease with the
Wsshburn. Crosby company. Charles Pay
son, representing the G. G. Washbrrn
heirs, hearing of the restraining order.
hustled out with papers that had already
been prepared and jointly signed the lease
with James y. Bell, president OF the Wash
burn. Crosby company, for renewal of the
lease for two years TO the Washburn- Crosby
company. The lease was signed about
half an hour before the restraining order
was issued, and the latter has no effect.

RAPTp cTry, q. d., July 10.
Passengers on Oh. west-bound express
on the Elkhorn line were held mp BY
two masked mon between and 10 o'clock
ct night Just vest Of Arabia, small sta
ton sixteen miles east OF Vaientins. Par
ticulars ars obtained of Prof. shepherd, of
Brookings, one Of the passengers. The
robbers, both young men wearing cowboy
hats, boarded the train AT Long Pine, with
tickets Tor Arabia. When the latter place
was reached they were noticed BY Conductor
Nelson and left the train. They, however.
re-entered the day car as the train pulled
out.
A few minutes afterward, as the con-
ductor entered the car from the reer, the
two men, their faces masked with hand
kerchiefs and each holding two revolyers,
stepped from the closet and compelled
him 20 throw mp his hands. They then
marched him ahead of them toward the
front of the car. One carried o small bag,
and into this the passengers were COM
PEELED 10 throw their money. A brake
man entering the car from the rear was or
dersd to -hold-up." but instead of doing
so lodged back and bullet was sent after
him through the door. The bullet also
went through the door OF the forward
sleeper and smashed mirror In the
smoking room.
All the passengers in the day car we're
relieved Of more or less money, though as
none were grumhling as to the size of the
contributions, the aggregate was probably
not great.
The robbers then entered the smoking
car, the conductor still leading and COW
| cred with their revolvers. AZ first tha
| passengers In the smoker were disposed to
consider the affair Joke and attempted to
play with the robbers, Who thus lost some
| time.
The brakeman, who had bean. driven
| on the car by this time, pulled the bell
rope. The robbers feeling the train slow
ing mp, became frightened and compelled
the conductor to signal to stop il. When
they jumped OF and fired shot at the
brakesman, who showed his head between
two OF the oars and then scrambled mp 3
steep bank on the aide or the track. Con-
dnctor Nelson In the meantime secured o
| Winchester magazine shot gun and snap
psd Il IL them repeatedly, but the chambers
we're empty.
As the robbers went mp the bank In the
clear moonlight they we're plainly seen by
all on the train, and only lack Of knowl-
edge as how 20 load the Winchester from
the magazine allowed them TO escape un-
hurt. The train was delayed but q few
moments.

ATCHIsoN. Kas.. July.
b. p. waggener, of Atchison, Kas., an
nounces that he viii present petition TO
United States Judge Foster asking that
Arthur Lett, aIprisoner in the Kansas peni-
ientiary, be released. Lett Is q young col
ored man who was sent TO prison for be-
traying q young girl under IL years Of age.
A recent statute provides that such se-
duction will pe regarded IS criminal as
sault aud tho offender shall be punished by
confinement at h ,rd labor The crimes act
says felony shall be punished By confine-
ment At hard labor Ia the penitentiary.
The act making Lett's offense q crime
omits the words In the penitentiary." This
discrepancy, Mr. WaRgener says, will re-
lease Lett from the penitentiary and the
severest punishment that can De inflicted In
Imprisonment In the county Jail. Hequotes
she well kRown principle OF Law that stat
utes relating to crimes shall be construed
strictly. II the court releases Lett on the
point ID will practically discharge from the
prison 100 or 800 prisoners In for other Of
Ifenaas whose sentences are authorized BY
sections Of tine law which omit the words
I'm the penitentiary." Mr. WagRener is a
lawyer of recognized ability, and it 10 not
probable that he would put forward this
claim unless he is backed by good author
ity. He says he does not apply 10 the
state court because Il would not be the
policy OF o state court 10 make decision
thai would set at liberty nearly all the pris-
oners in the penitentiary.
