Chicago Police After the Lone High
wayman That Is Terrorizing
Lakeview People.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 26. The over
land west bound train on the Northern
Pacific road was held mp Thursday
night near Hot Springs by three masked
men, who robbed all of the male pas
sengers in the Pullman sleeper Wadena,
six in all. The robbers entered the car,
1t is believed, at Hot Springs, as the
train had not gone five miles from that
place when men entered the rear part OF
the sleeper. The first man they met
was E. FL. Miller, of Portland, Or. He
was in the smoking department. He was
robbed Of $40 and gold watch, and told
to march in ahead of them, which he
did. One of the highwaymen went to
the extreme end of the car while the
other stood guard at the end they
entered All were dressed In dark
clothes, overcoats, slouch hats, and wore
handkerchiefs over their faces, with
holes cut out for eyes. They placed re-
volvers at the heads Of the passengers
and commanded them to hold up their
hands. AS the robbing was going on
8. j. Freedman, of Portland, Or, came
in from an adjoining car, and as he
entered. not knowing what wasgoing
on, he was demanded to hold up his
hands, but not complying quick enough
the robber nearest to him fired a shot
through the side OF the car and then
Freedman understood what was wanted
and handed over his valuables. The
robbers did not molest the ladies, of
whom there were four, with two. chill
dren, telling them to keep quiet and no
harm would come to them. This they
did.
After robbing everybody in the car,
and without going to any of the other
cars, the robbers pulled the bell cord,
giving the proper signals, and when the
car stopped they pulled the bell to start
again, and then jumped OF and fed to
the woods, firing q parting fusilade as
they disappeared. The total amount
taken was 81 200, besides the gold
watches and jewelry and other valua-
bles.
The following is the list of the men
robbed;
Pullman conductor and porter, e. E.
Heeg, Portland, $40 and gold watch
worth 800; 8. ]. Freedman, Portland,
$40 and a gold watch; Sam Ohnoer,

bers were really after, thinking he had
more money than was found upon him.
e. FL. Miller was robbed of $40 and jew,
elry, and Pullman Conductor Wiley,
of st. Paul, of $50. From the fact tina,
the robbers gave perfect signals, it il
believed that they are railroad men,
They were all armed with big Coll

men in the New York Steam company's

ton streets, between Cortlandt and Dey
streets. struck at 1910 a. m. against q
reduction OF wages. The company en-
ploys about twenty fremen ON the
fifty-six boilers located around the base
OF the great chimney which is among
the most prominent landmarks of the
city. They had been receiving 25 cents
an hour and were working from eight
to ten hours day. The company had
announced that hereafter they would be
paid but 20 cents an hour and would be
expected to work twelve hours a
day. Nearly all of them had been
steamship firemen, and these said that
this reduction would bring their wages
down to lower figure than they conld
get at sea, and especially ON American
boats, and all joined in saying that it
was physical impossibility tor man
to fire the boilers OF the steam COM
pany's plant twelve hours a day for
many days in succession.
The steamship men said that the fire
rooms of the plant were hotter than the
stoke holes of modern steamer, where
q man only worked four hours at
stretch and then WAS at liberty to rest
eight hours, say nothing of the long va
cations with full pay when the vessel
was lying IN port.
The men at work left their posts one

the house, and before the men left they
had opened the hampers, letting in colo
air to the furnaces, and bringing the
steam pressure down like shot.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 26. Mr..
Blaine was much worse during the
night. The attending physician said
the condition of his patient was serious.
Several times during the day Mr.. Blaine
sunk into an unconscious condition,
from which ne had to be reused. AT
times he was unable to recognize the
anxious watchers about his bedside.
Mr.. Blaine rallied somewhat Wednes-
day, and the family thought, with great
confidence, that he would be able to be
ont within few days. Instead OF
further Improvement, however, he be-
came much worse Thursday. Just
what the disease is which has attacked
Mr.. Blaine, no one seems to be able to
say. DIR. Johnston. the attend
ing physician, will not talk, and
the family insist that there have been nc
new developments In the case. The in
formation is such, however, that 1t can
not be doubted. 1t is told that the dis.
ease has so far progressed as to affect
Mr.. Blaine's brain, and at times he has
been delirious. There is very evident
desire on the part of the hmily to keer
the facts from the public. That they
have been alarmed is certain and thai
Mr.. Blaine's condition is serious is true
notwithstanding the denials OF the fam
lily, the refusal Of the ply sicians to tall
and the general air Of mystery with
which the case is surrounded.
The only authoritive statement tina
has been heard approaching definite
description Of the ailment from which
Mr.. Blaine is suffering Is that hi
trouble is q recurrence of that from
which he has not been free for th
past two years. This would indicate
despite denial, that the trouble did orig
