LAMAR (Mo), Jan. 23.-The Missouri
Pacific train which reached here at half
| past Il o'clock this morning was boarded
at Sheldon by two men. who went to the

ing that they left Oh a freight for this place.
Policeman McLemore saw the men get off
north bound freight train which arrived
here this morning and he halted them. One
of the men shot him dead, and both then
escaped.
As soon as they shot the polic eman the
robbers jumped into an empty box-car of
a freight train which was just pulling out,
locking themselves in. Shortly after pas

COAL FOR CHILE.
The Steamer San BenitO Now
Loading at Oakland.

The United States Government has char
tered the big Southern Pacific steamer san
Bcnito and will dispatch her to Chile with
a cargo Of coal. The steamer arrived here
from Com0x about two weeks ago and went
to the Oakland mole, where she was dis
charged. On tuesday morning she was
ready TO proceed north for another cargo.
but orders were received by Captain Col
Vile TO hold her for further orders. What
these orders were no one seemed to know
until Friday, when he received orders TO be
ready 20 proceed 10 Chile.
The agents of the Govern ment were busy
buying coal here in San Francisco and on
Friday afternoon the entire cargo of the
British ship BOwdOn, which recently ar
rived here from Cardiff laden with 2345
tons OF coal for the Pacific Mail Company,
WAS purchased, and the ship, which was
living at the Pacific Mail Wharf ready to
discharge her cargo, was tOwed across 10
the Oakland mole and tled up alongside the
San BenitO A large force Of men was put
TO work transferring the coal from the ship
10 the steamer
Tomorrow the working force win be in
creased and the work prosecuted day and
night until 1t Is finished. 1t was learned
last night that still another cargo Of Cardiff
coal had been purchased by the Government
and as soon as the Bowdon is empty her
place will be taken by the other vessel and
the san BenitO's hold filled to the matches.
The steamer will also ill her bunkers with
the same kind of coal, which is regarded as
the best steamng coal in the world and is
far superior TO anything produced on this
Coast.
The San Benito will carry a cargo of over
4500 tons and is expected TO make the run
down to Chile In less than month. She is
not only the largest carrier on this Coast
but IS also one of the best sea boats and can
steam fully u knots an hour and keep that
speed up as long as she has fuel. The work Of
transferring this large amount of coal from
one ship to another will take several days,
but it Is expected that the steamer will be
ready for sea by Friday.
In view Of the fact that the only coal
mines in South America are in Chile the
Government is taking steps to provide
American war-ships with coal independent
of the saucy Chileans. 1t was learned that
at least three other ships will follow
the San Benito and the cruisers will
soon have all the coal in Chile they
may need. The Eastern squadron now on
its way around from MOntevideO will be
pretty short OF coal when it reaches Valpa-
raiso unless it can obtain a supply at Sandy
Point in the Straits of Magellan. This is
extremely doubtful and no doubt on arrival
there Admiral Walker will find the mines
flooded by order OF the Chilean Admiral,
who is now said to be on his way there with
several war-ships. In this case the Chicago
and her cOnsOrts will have TO mako the run
clear up to Valparaiso or perhaps further
before a supply can be obtained.
