of the young lawyers trouble. He Is
thirty years old and comes of good fam

Mr.. Wentworth did not learn why she
had left her home in Milwaukee until
about four months ago. Recently he got
the name and description Of the man who
was responsible for his sisters misfortune.
He came to New York at once to look for
him and went to the residence OF Dr.

closely.
Soon after his arrival Wentworth found
the man he sought and bought pistol to
kill him. DIR. Root discovered his inten-
ton and turned him over to the police in
time to prevent the deed. He waived ex-
animation and was sent to the hospital.

How shrewd Express Messenger Saved
His Ealuables.

HIS haiuabiee.
GUTHRIE, o. T., May 10. The skill with
which the Wells-Fargo express car OF the
Santa Fe train was robbed last night was
only excelled by the skill with which the
express messenger guarded the property
in his care from the bandits. When the
robbers boarded the train at Wharton the
messenger was looking out of the door of
his car, and, seeing what was going on,
Immediately apprehended the danger.
He closed and locked his door and then
commenced to hide the money and valua-
bles in his keeping in places Of safety,
where they would escape detection by the
robbers.
While the bandits were detaching the
engine and express car from the rest of
the train and were running it TO the place
where the robbery occurred, two miles dis
tant, the messenger disposed OF most of
the valuables in places OF safety. Then
he locked the safe. When the robbers
appeared at the door OF the express car
he made show OF resistance, but finally
admitted them. They Immediately made
for the safe and demanded that it be
opened. With feigned reluctance the
messenger opened it and at the command
of the leader handed out the contents,
among which was a package Of worthless
papers, which he tod the robbers was
valuable package OF money. The most of
the money had been hidden in the stove,
which was not being used for It's legiti-
mate purpose. In the search which the
robbers made of the car they overlooked
that hiding place, but tumbIed upon a
package of 500, which they secured. Find
ing nothing else OF value they made their
escape.
A dispatch from Topeka says the Off
cial report of the robbery has been made
to the headquarters of the Santa Fe rail-
way there. The details made public are
very meager but coincide with the report
from Guthrie The amount secured by
the robbers is given out by the Santa Fe
officials as 500. A large force of L. 5.
deputy marshals was organized at Guthrie
last night as soon as the news OF the rob-
berry had been received and pursuit of
the robbers was Immediately begun. 1t is
believed that the robbers are hiding at
Turkey Creek 0. T., whittier the posse is
now making its way. There seems to be
no doubt that the bandits are the no.
torious Dalton boys. They are desper-
ate set OF outlaws
