FARM ERS In a FIX.
-Four Knights Of the Plow Hold
Up g Passenger Train
in Kansas.
Several Thousand Dollars Taken
From the Safe in the
Express Car.

WICHITA, Kan, Aug 22.-The st. Louis
& San Francisco passenger train which left
here at l. 30 last night, was held up and the
Wells Fargo express car robbed by four
masked men near Augusta, Butler county.
The outlaws were captured with part Of
the booty.
AS the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
crossing, about mile east of Augusta, two
masked men with guns mounted the loco
motive on either side and ordered the
engineer and fireman to stop the train.
The train came to standstill and two 9TH
er members OF the robbers gang who were
in hiding, uncoupled the express car. AS
soon as this was done the engineer was
compelled to pull out with the car about
mile distant from the train. While two of
the hlghwaymen watched the locomotive
crew the others went to the express car
door and demanded admittance, and by
way OF emphasizing their remarks COM
menced shooting through the sides of the
car, in which were Express Messenger
Shift and bag.ageman. The impris-
oned men - a.. .-....' 81. g..

AAe We1is-rar9O company has Just taken
hold of the Frisco lines and its men have
not yet received their arms, so the express
messenger had nothing with which to pro-
tect the car but small revolv r. Shift
was forced to open the safe and the robbers
ransacked everything, getting between fl
teen and twenty packages Of money. The
whole thing was over in about thirty min
'utes and t e robbers then left the locomo-
tive. after firing few parting shots. The
outlaws did not attempt to rob the passer-
gers, and the latter knew nothing Of the
robbery until all was over The amount of
money secured cannot be ascertained,
but it is probably not exceeding S. 600,
as the train is made up at Burrel, only
twenty miles west. The robbery was COM
united by four farmers living in the vicin-
lty, and, it seems, was expected. Sheriff
Nipp of Cow ley county was informed that
such scheme was on foot by fifth men,
Der OF the gang during the week, and while
ne could not discover when the robbery
was to take place hehad posse in waiting.
Assoon as he got wind Of the hoid-up he
bounced on the outlaws. The robbers were
new at holding up trains, but they did
their work like professionals. The only
mistake they made was in holding up the
wrong train, for had they robbed the west
bound instead Of the east bound train thew
would have secured large amount OF

PORTER ON THE FIELD,
The Adjutant General Makes a Tour of
the Military CAMPS

Inc AdJutant General Makes a Tour of
the Military Camps.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 22-The chief mil
itary officials now located here are tonight
satisfied that the calling to Buffalo of over
half of the national guard OF the state was
wise and necessary move. Adjt. Gen.
Porter, with Gen. Doyle and other officers,
made tour of all the military camps to-
day, and their observations resulted in the
conclusion that the force here, consider
ing the great amount of ter
ritory to be covered and 1.-The vast
amount OF property that has to
be guarded, was not excessive.
Not only this but a doubt was left in the
minds of all the party whether the sum-
moning OF more troops would not be nee
essary. Gep. Porter talked with the COM
handing and subordinate officers at all the
posts he visited. All made com :orting re-
ports OF the condition Of their men, said
that the food supply was now satisfactory
and stated that very little trouble from
strikes or their sympathizers had been ex-
perienced. Nearly all. however, said that
the work assigned to them was fully as
much as they could care for Others went
farther and said they could make good use
OF more men. At the end Of the days in
designations at o'clock tonight, Gen. Por-
ter stated to an Associated Press cores
pondent that he was decidedly Of the opin-
ion that there was 49,.
NEED FOR ALL THE TROOPS
that had been called upon. He said if these
great railroad properties arctic be guarded,
II the men at work are to be protected from
assault and if the roads are TO be
opened for regular traffic, there certainly
are not too many on the grounds, and I
don't know but it might be wise to have
two or three thousand more men here
Gen. Porter shook his head when asked
how long the troops would remain here.
Gen. Doyle, when asked if he thought there
were enough troops here. said the tact that
he had to-day ordered an extra company of
militia from Hornellsville was sufficient
evidence that he did not think so. t.s
Gen. Porter started on his days inspec-
ton after midday. He was accompanied
by Gen. Doyle and escorted by Troop A
OF New York. All the camps accessi Bile on
horseback were visited. At all points salts
factory reports OF the hearth and willing
ness Of the troops were received.

Trouble Among Trades Unions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-There is Serious
split among the trades unions, and the
chances are that there will be two parades
and possibly trouble on Labor day. The
difficulty arises from the action of the Chi
cago Musicians union demanding 81 per
man for Labor day, instead OF S. as here
to!ore. The laboring men who are to act
as capitalists and foot the parade expenses
object to the increase and have made ar
engagements with non-u union bands Others
will pay the price asked, and much bitter
feeling has been engendered.
