Train Robbers Fooled.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May l2.--The south
bound passenger train on the Santa Fe
road was held up Saturday night about
1880 o'clock by five masked men, who
detached the engine and robbed the express
car OF all the money it contained. 1t is
believed tho amount stolen is not very
large. When the robbers boarded the
train the messenger was looking out of the
door of his car. He closed and locked his
doors and then began 10 hide the money
and valuables in places of safety where
they would escape the detection of the
robbers. While the bandits were detach-
ing the engine and express car from the
rest Of the train, and were running it to
the place where the robbery occurred, two
miles distant, 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 feigued reluctance the
messenger opened it and, at tho command
of the leader, handed out the contents,
among which was package Of worthless
papers, which he told the robbers was
valuable package of money. The most Of
the money bad been hidden in the stove.
Finding nothing else of value they made
their escape. a pursuit OF the robbers was
Immediately begun.

FINANCIAL STRAITS.
James Nj. Turner OF Lansing Said to.
be In Business Difficulties.

LANSING, May 12.-James M. Turner of
this city, who was the republican candi-
date for governor last fall and who has
for years been reported to be worth several
times a million and who has extensive
manufacturing and farming interests in
this city and vicinity, and even more
extensive mining, railroad and numbering
interests in the upper peninsula, is finan-
cially embarrassed and late this afternoon
filed bill of sale with the clerk of this
city covering all his personal property of
every kind, save such as is exempted by
law to James +. Joy and Christian H.
Bull of Detroit, IN trust for themselves
and the Lansing banks, the District
National bank and Stephen Baldwin of
Detroit to secure S1l0, 900 worth of indebt-
edness consisting of drafts and checks
made on banks and promissory notes. Mr..
Turner has also filed in the Office Of the
county clerk and register Of deeds at Mason
trust deeds of his real estate. The trustees
named in these deeds are the same as
those mentioned in the bill of sale and
some of the creditors appear in both instru-
ments. Whether or not additional credi-
tors are scheduled in the deeds cannot be
ascertained tonight. The embarrassment
is attributed largely TO the depressed con-
dition of the iron market. Mr.. Turner is
one of the chief stockholders in the Great
Western mining company of the upper
peninsula, and has heavily endorsed the
company's paper. Iron is down now, and
the creditors who have heretofore been
willing to carry the paper now demand
better security and have forced matters TO
the present status. The banks in this city
are involved to IA comparatively slight de-
gree and are amply and absolutely secured
against loss by the papers filed tonight
and also by good collateral. The bill of
sale and trust deed arc given TO secure Mr.
Turner's personal creditors and does not
include those who are creditors by his in
dorsement
