Children Cry for

Homer POundstOne Taken to st.
Louis to Answer q Very
Serious Charge.

The BAzoo yesterday chronicled the
arrest of Homer Poundstone, black
smiths helper, aged about 30 years.
by Officer John Mooney, on the sup
posed charge of seduction. The pris-
oner was locked up and the st. Louis
authorities were notified of the AZ
rest.
This morning G. Fl. Archambault,
the Four Courts detective, arrived
from st. Louis and took charge of
Poundstone, returning with him to
st. Louis on the noon train. Mr..
Archambault says the charge against
Poundstone is not seduction, but rape,
his victim beinga young lady named
Miller, the daughter of poor but re-
spectacle parents. The alleged crime
was committed several weeks ago, un-
der aggravating circumstances, and
at this writing it looks like the priso-
ner was 10 very serious predicament.
Poundstone was born at Otterville
and his mother resides on Flat Greek.
He declined to speak of the crime
laid at his door, but it is understood
that he told friend that the girl he
is charged with wronging is II years
old, while the information received
here is that she is only IA. He was
willing to marry her. but was afraid
if he showed up in st. Louis he would
be killed by her brothers. Prior to
this occurrence Poundstone had always
borne a good reputation, so far az the
BAzoo knows.

All medical authorities agree that
cat,rrh is no more nor less than an in
tlamatiOn of the lining membrane of
the nasal sir passages. Nasal cstarrh
and all catarrhal affections of head
are not diseases of the blood, and it is
a serious mistake to treat them as
such. No conscientious physician
ever attempts to do so. 1t is held by
eminent medical men that sooner or
later specific will be found for every
disease from which humanity suffers.
The facts justify us in assuming that
for catarrh at least a positive cure ex-
lists in Ely's Cream Balm.

Yesterday Morning.
What a "BazOO" Reporter, Who
Accompanied the Party,
Learned.
At 4 o'clock This Afternoon The
Chances Are Not i'm Favor
of Early Capture.

The SUNDAY MORNING BAzoo wa.
the only newspaper in the world that
yesterday chronicled the robbing OF
an express car on Missouri Pacific
train No. 3, near Robbers Cut, some
thirteen miles east of this city, al
2.37 o'clock that morning.
The news was the most important
IN that particular line Of criminal
happenings that has occurred in Cen.
trail Missouri since July 8, 1876, when
another Missouri Pacific train was
held up within three-quarters of a
mile of the scene of Yesterdays rob-
berry, the crime being committed by
the then world-famed James gang.
THE HOLD UP.
As stated in the SUNDAY MORNING
BAzoo, the robbery of yesterday was
the work of seven masked men. The
train left St. Louis at 500 o'clock
Saturday night fer Kansas City, in
charge of Conductor Al. Marsh, with
Engineer Frank Drayer and Fire.
man Frank Tourcillie on engine No.
2S3.
AT either California or Upton two
OF the robbers boarded the front end
OF the baggage car, next to the engine,
and rode there until the train was
about one mile east of Otterville.
They then climbed over the tender.
and the first the engineer and fireman
knew of the presence of the
robbers was when the taller of the two
presented a drawn revolver in close
proximity to Engineer Grayeris head
and commanded him to stop
the train. At the same
same time the second robber was COW
ering Fireman Tourcillie with weap-
on, and in consequence both gentle
men were at the mercy of the rob-
bers.
THE ORDER OBEYED.
As matter of course the order
was obeyed, and the iron horse came
to a standstill at a point 800 feet west
ofthe water tank. which is Just one
mile from the Otterville depot, on the
Lamine river.
ALMOST instantly the engineer and
fireman made the discovery that be.
sdes the two robbers on the engine
five more were implicated in the Job,
two being stationed on the south side
Of the train and three on the north side,
all armed with either shot guns or
rifles. Engineer Drayer was com.
manded to accompany the two rob
bers to the express car, which was 10
charge Of s. r. Avery, a trusted mes
senger, who few years ago was en-
gagged in farming only few miles
from the spot where yesterdays rob-
berry occurred.
CALLED HIM DOWN.
Fireman TourcelIie was left stone
on the engine, and stepping to the
ground he started back to
apprise the conductor and
passengers of what was going on
He had gone but a short distance.
however, when he ran up against a
revolver in the hands Of one of the
five robbers who were guarding the
train, and in consequence was only
too glad to retreat to the engine.
In the meantime Engineer Drayer
and bic escorts had arrived at the ex.
press car, and it seems little strange
that they found the car door open, al
though the train does not stop at
either Otterville tank or station. One

How n Young Man IL Forging Ahend of
Competitors in the Windy City.
George Beltzhoover, of the Pennsylvania
system, is known as the lightning passenger
agent of Chicago He is said to be able to
beat the fast trains of his road in getting to
wherever business is to be found, and once
the ground is reached, he is just as rapid In
securing that which he went for, says the
Chicago Post. He has only been two years
in the city, and yet no man in II has more
extended acquaintance or more close and in
innate personal friends than he.
Mr.. Beltzhoover is Pennsylvania Dutch
man. He came here from Pittsburg, which
is his native place. His success is entirely
due to his own exertions and business
ability. While still boy he entered the
service of the Pennsylvania Company in
1874 as news agent, being givss the run
from Pittsburg to Philadelphis, and re-
mained at that work till 1873. In those
four years he exhibited such sueadiness and
business ability that the managers OF the
road offered him the position OF city pas
senger agent at Pittsburg. This position he
accepted and held till October, 1887, when
he was promoted to the position he now
holds in this city. That promotion was en-
tirely due to the success which attended his
efforts in Pittsburg and was all the more
gratifying from the fact that the brightest
and most successful men are always selected
for the positions In this city. When Mr..
Beltzhoover first arrived here some of the
older agents were inclined to guy him lit
tie and to ply him with ghost stories, but
they soon found that they had tackled the
wrong man He gave them tit for tat every
time and they were not long in realizing
that they had to encounter in him foeman
worthy of their steel. He at once claimed
their respect and he has maintained it ever
since. They have all to admit that there
are no flies on Beltzhoover.

report shows population OF 3,275.
Mr. Oliver saws that all figures given out
