WINFIELD, Kas., Oct. IA Cofey-
vile dispatch last night says the east
bound Missouri Pacific train was held up
by two robbers at Caney station. The
robbers boarded the engine, compelled
the engineer to pull out two miles, then
uncoupled the express car from the rest
of train and pulled it half a mile farther.
Express Messenger Maxwell had blown
out the lights and barred the door and
refused to open it. The robbers fired
through the door, wounding him in the
arm. He then surrendered and opened
the door. The robbers covered him with
revolvers and compelled him to give up
the express packages. All the express
money was transferred at Congress
waymen got much. The identity of the
robbers is unknown, but they are be-
lieved to be the same men who last week
held up the station agent at Sedan, Kan.
One of the robbers entered the car,
while the other remained on guard out
side. The messengers safe was opened,
and the robbers hastily grabbed the
packages and envelopes containing
money, placed them in a small sack and
jumped from the car. They then ordered
the engineer to back the car to where
the train was left standing, and, after
firing few more shots as a warning,
disappeared in the darkness. Both
robbers wore heavy black mustaches,
and their clothing was spattered with
mud, indicating that they were mounted
and had ridden hard. The express
messenger claimed he does not know the
value of the booty secured. Express
officials and railway men at different
points along the line claim that the
robbers did not secure $500, if, indeed,
that amount. It is pretty certain, how
ever, that the robbers secured several
thousand dollars, as the train connects
with the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Southern's lines. When the train
reached Tyro, the watchman was told of
the robbery, but no effort was made to
get posse and pursue the robbers.
This morning the railway people sent a
squad of officers to Tyro, and will begin
active seach for the men.

All Serene Again.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Oct. 13.-The mill
tary espionage, kept over this city 90
days, came to an end this morning. Al
most the entire population Of the town
gathered to witness the departure of the
militia, but there was no demonstration
of any kind. At 10 O'Clock every vestige
of camp was removed and then the men
marched to Munhall station and en-
barked on a special train. in waiting.
After the departure of the troops the
crowd dispersed and the town took on
its wonted quiet. General Wylie said to
areporter that, while he anticipated nc
further trouble, the troops would be
held in readiness and if circumstances
required they would quickly return to
Homestead. Sheriff M. Leary's force o1
deputies now numbers 80 men. Frick
visited the works this morning, but de-
clined to be interviewed.

Heppner Gazette. On Tuesday morn
ing, promptly at o'clock, a. M, the
Regulator sailed from The Dalles, with
one of the merriest crowds that could
have been conveniently gotten together,
among which was your representative.
The day was beautiful one. The air
pure, the atmosphere clear, the world
renowned scenery of the Columbia never
looked grander. The boat arrived at the
Cascades at II o'clock where landing
was made, the ladies and gentlemen at
once proceeding to the depot, where they
met the members of the association, who
had just arrived in special car. They
then proceeded to the government
works to observe for themselves the locks
and canal, when after thorough ex-
animation of the work that had been
done by the government, all expressed
themselves in favor of an open river,
and it is needless to say that they will
urge same at the earliest date.
Com. Review. The people OF The
Dalles and Spokane were unstinted in
| their hospitality and gave the editors
| welcome that could not have been ex-
ceeded in cordiality. The visit to The
Dalles has been productive of good. 1t
gave them view of the Importance OF
the Columbia river. They were all i'm
pressed with the necessity of an open
river and learned this from actual OBJ
servation. They examined the unfn-
! ished cascade locks. Now that they
have seen for themselves what ought to
be done by the federal government in
opening the Columbia river, we hope to
see them make some attempt by their
influence in demanding the completion
of the same and also for the state to
make an appropriation to build por-
tage railroad from The Dalles to Cello.
| Eugene Register. The Oregon Press
Association. which met at The Dalles
editors have returned to their res pective
homes. From all accounts they must
had good time, whether they accom-
plished any good for themselves or not,
as they were entertained and banqueted
almost every place they went. After
their stay at The Dalles they went to
Spokane and met the Washington Press
Association, and here they were given a
grand reception, after which they took
the Northern Pacific to Tacoma. The
people always give the association the
best they have in the town, and the an
nual meeting is more of picnic for the
editors than anything else.
| Daily Dispatch. To convince man
that there has been something rotten in
the construction of the locks at the cas-
cades, let him go up there and take a
view of what has been done with the
two million of dollars already expended.
1t is simply an outrage that the locks
have not long since been completed.
The money has been worse than squan-
dered, and we understand that the new
plans under which they are now to be
completed requires the destruction of
most of the work done.

More Salt Found.

WARSAW, N. Y, Oct. 14.-At the
Gainesville salt well in this field, salt
was found at the depth of 2,455 feet.
The drill having gone through a 30-foot
bed again reentered the rock with a
prospect of another salt stratum being
found below. The first bed of salt is of
sufficient depth for manufacturing pur-
poses.

figure of man crouching behind a cur

light. Seeing he was discovered, the
burglar made break for the stairs and
disappeared. The young woman tried
to arouse her sister, but failed. She
rushed to the room occupied by her
mother She found the latter and
young sister motionless, and to all ap-
pearances dead. fastening from the
house, Miss Lena aroused some neigh
bors. When the neighbors arrived she
was cody applying restoratives to the
other members of the family, who were
soon revived

sloux Legend of the nIeteorIc Shower.

SiohA AeHsHu OF the NAtheoFic showers.
The Sioux Indians have a legend that
is Of interest now, telling as it does how
an opposing army was put to fight by a
shower of meteorites. The legend also
explains peculiar layer Of stones found
on the shores of the Cannon Ball river.
Many years ago the Sioux and Crows
met in deadly conflict on the banks of
this river. The Crows were the stronger,
so Red Dog, the medicine man of the
Sioux. prayed for aid from heaven.
The Crows were about TO conquer, and
Red Dog was just about to give the sig
nal for the members of the band to kill
themselves when there appeared an
ominous gathering in the sky. The
heavens assumed greenish hue, few
drops of rain fell, and then there came
something harder
Pebbles began dashing down upon the
fighting Indians. and the pebbles turned
to larger stones until they assumed a
size that meant death TO all that
were struck. Down poured the can
non balls of heaven upon the Crows, but
wonderful to relate not one of the Sioux
was hit by the missiles from the sky.
From that day the Sioux were un
molested by the other tribes. Chicago

Iron works, makes substantial salary
a. his work, and, in fact, is very com
fortably situated in this life. His native
home is Gloucester N. j., and there his
wife resides. AS regular as the end of
the week comes around Trotter takes
three So gold pieces from his envelope,
obtains money order, and sends the
cash with message Of good cheer to his
wife in her riverside home. On Monday,
November 2l, Trotter went to the post
office. went through the usual formality
Of purchasing, directing, stamping and
sealing. Evidently he began to think so
intently about home that he dropped the
important letter in his spacious overcoat
pocket instead Of the slot for out.of-town
mail matter.
Day after day passed and he received
no answer" from his wife. Then he
wrote to her. She answered and said
that she was greatly worried because he
had not written on Monday as was his
won't and said she had not received the
visage of a letter Then Mr. Trotter
proceeded to stir up the dust He
warned Postmaster Gordon that he
meant business and that the money order
letter must be forthcoming or there
would be trouble. The postmaster
consulted his books and, sure enough,
there was the stub of Mr. Trotter's
money order for $l5 to Mrs Trotter in
Gloucester, N. J. Postmaster Gordon
began to look worried more so than he
did on the day that it showed. The
people began TO talk about the affair.
Postmaster Gordon communicated with
the postmaster at Camden and other
postal authorities Nobody knew any
thing about such letter
MFR. Trotter is faithful member Of
Emmanuel church, and during the sun
day morning service he reached his hand
in his overcoat pocket for something
and brought out-the lost letter. Re-
gardless or the service that was then in
progress Mr.. Trotter arose and hurried
TO the home of Postmaster Gordoii,
called him out, apologized and held a
short love feast with him. The letter
was afterward mailed.
