DESPERATE FIGHT BETWEEN TRAIN
ROBBERS AND A POSSE.

Thirteen of the Former and Two Of the

Three Montana Cattle Thieves Lynched
by Cowboys.
UvALDE, Tex, Sept. 6.-The train rob-
bers who were thought to have escaped
across the Rio Grande with sum, said
to be $50, 900, which they secured from
the express car on the Southern Pacific,
were met Friday by Il body Of rangers
who had been in pursuit, and a battle
took place. From reports received thir-
teen of the robbers and two rangers
were killed and several of both sides
were wounded. The rangers followed
what was Thought to be the course pur-
sued by the robbers, through mountain
passes, and although they had at several
times lost tho trail they pulled up ON the
robbers. Thursday they discovered I'M
mistakable signs that the men were but
a few miles ahead of them and were
headed toward Las Vegas. The pursuers
pulled up on the bandits strongly and
made better time, for after pushing on
portion of the night they were re-
warded by falling in with the outlaws.
The engagement was short, as the ban
dts We're Outnumbered. They held the
best position, however, and stood their
ground until their dead and wounded
was so great that resistance was impos-
Eible, and then the remainder fled. 1t is
said that two men escaped.

Gastern Montana Cattlemen Take the

HELENA, Mon, Sept. 4.-There have
been many complaints from Eastern
Montana lately, by cattle men, of the
stealing of stock by thieves. The in
spectors are now busy at shipping points,
SO the ''rustlers," as the thieves are
called, have good chance to ply their
trade. Down in Custer county, about
eighty miles from a railroad, cattlemen
have taken the matter in their own
hands. Jack Moore, who came in from
that section, says that just before he left
home cowboy came to his ranch with
the news that Jerry Thompson, a motor
ious rustler, and two companions, had
been caught changing the brands on
cattle and were all hanged to the same

only sufferers, then we would not CON-.
plain. But the innocent generally
suffer. The following Will explain orr
meaning:
"A most horrible tragedy has o,.
Cured in Wayne county, West W.
ginia. A crowd of drunken Italian
IabOrers-abOut fifty in number-cm,
pIoyed on the Norfolk & Western
Railroad, went to the home Of Mr.
Bromfield, who was reported to lave
much money, and demanded admit
lance.
"BromfeId and his two half-growr
sons made a brave defense, but seem
to have had no arms. Their assailants
broke in the doors and windows and
beat BrOmfield and the boys to death
with clubs. They then cut their thro3rs
and stabbed them repeatedly. They
then seized the wife and two yOInr
children and put them to death. After
searching the place for valuables they
burned the house to the ground. 1t Is
said that enemies of BrOmfield melted
the Italians to the murder.
"A Cattletsburg, Ky, special says a
rumOr was current on the streets yes
terday morning that the Sheritf's posse
in an attempt to capture the Italians
who murdered the BrOmfield family
Friday night, were forced to fire On

THE London Globe in commenting
upon it says:
"'ThiS horrible outrage will assured
ly have its full effect upon the future
relations between Americans and undp-
sirable immigrants. The SWaPms of
Italians who cross the Atlantic are by
far the most Objectionable Of all mmI-
grants who go to America. They ap-
pear to have lost their only visible
merit, that of sObriety. Self-defense
in some States where State protection
is exceedingly elementary becomes not
only a right but a duty. The murder

ceive their deserts from the people Of
West Virginia, and it will then be seen
If Italy will demand Federal inquiry
with a view to procuring cOlnpensa-
ton. If Italy should do so, the answer
that will be made to her demand will,
perhaps, be shorter and sharper than
the one previously made by the United
States government in reply to ItaIy's
demand for compensation for the
families of the Italians Iynched at New
Orleans That country which cannot
deal efficiently with it's murderers
must not object to any sort of law that

LAW AGAINST TRUSTS.

The Ne3rs dnd Observer of the 9Th
cOrrects our impression that there is
no law against trusts in the State and
United States. We return thanks for
same. By reference to the law in
North Carolina we find hat the penalty
is 5000 fine or ten years imprison-
ment, 1t was passed by the legislature
in 1889, when the bagging trust was in
its prime.
The NenrS und Observer says Gov.
Holt was sworn to observe and execute
that law and that he is observing it in
his business. The plaid Trust" or
Association" was organized, if we
mistake not, in 1888. What it has
done is not known to the public. But
our information at the time was that
the object was to keep up the price of
cotton goods made in the South, by a
combination or to limit the quantity
50 as to keep the price up. The law Of
1889 is against either plan, So if the
Plaid Trust has not violated that law
it is because the law came in force be
fore they had time to perfect the
organization.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

Now will THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER

banks properly conducted. Neither is
there to national banks as such. But
the national banking system, the
present plan Of issuing money, is high

declared against it. The people should
not be compelled to pay tax directly

more.

According to statistics u people
only realize about 3 per cent. on CAPT
tai invested annually. If this be true,
we nOw pay, say, an average Of s or 10
per cent. per annum for the privilege
of doing a 3 per cent. business Why
not issue money at 2 or 3 per cent. and
let the people have the advantage of
the / or 5 per cent. made by bankers!
AS long as our people are obliged to
pay s per cent. for money to do bust

will be failures, mortgages and trouble

that this republic has managed to hold
together this long. To-day one man

ONE NAILED.

Some Of the State papers still insist
that the associate editor of this paper
made an unsuccessful ''attack," as
they are pleased to call it. upon Sen
ator Vance last year. The resolution
passed by the last legislature by a vote
of IS to - shows that the "attack"
had the desired effect:
Res0Ired, By the House Of Represent
tatives. the Senate cOncurring, that
our Senators in the 51st and SD Con
gress Of the United States be, and they
are hereby instructed to vote for and
use ali honorable means to secure the
object of the financial reforms as con
templated in the platform adopted by
the Ocala meeting of the National
Farmers Alliance, held in December,
1890. That a copy Of the above reso-
luton he sent to our Senator's and Rep
r~esentatives in Congress-"
We are a little short-sighted, but as
we see it not only Senator Vance, but
Senator Ransom and all our Congress-
men are tied up very nicely. If they
fail to obey we will tie them at home
hereafter. So the old shot gun used in
"attacking" Senator Vance scattered
enough to bring down another Senator
and nine fine, large Congressman. The
old gun IS not for sale at any price.
By the way, Congress was in session
nearly two months after the resolution
passed, Didany Of our Representatives
do anything in that line?
