masked men.

himself on the forward platform of the
combination express and baggage car
Shortly after leaving Caney the robber
climbed over the tender, and with heavy
revolver ordered the engineer to stop
the train. The engineer brought the
train to a standstill and the robber cut
the combination car from the train and
compelled the engineer to draw the car
to deep cut about half mile farther
east. Here the other robber made his
appearance and both began firing their
revOlvers.
The express messenger was ordered to
open the door of the car and after several
shots we're fred through the panels he
complied. One of the robbers entered
the car while the other remained on
guard outside The messenger opened
the safe and the robber, hastily grabbing
the packages and envelopes which it con
tanned, placed them in a small sack and
jumped from the car.
The engineer was then ordered to back
the car to where the train was left stand
ing, and after firing a few more shots as
a warning. disappeared in the darkness.
Both robbers wore heavy black masks
and their clothing was spattered with
mud, indicating that they were mounted
and had ridden hard.

not know the value of the booty Sc.
cured. The express officials and railway
men at different points along the line
claim that the robbers did not secure
over $500, if, indeed they got that
/ amount.

Waterman was told of the robbery but
no effort was made to get a posse and
pursue the robbers This morning the
railway people sent a squad of officers .tC

recovery of $35, which he alleges Witsil

which horse-traders have regulations
that are proverbial.
A day or two ago Richenberger ac-

During the conversation Witsil said
something about betting 500.
I'm bet you $35 that you can't show
me 500, said Richenberger.
'Ill take your bet said Witsil.
The stakes were placed in the hands Of
Detective McVey.
Witsil then drew out a roll of bills
and counted out $lO0 When he looked
up at Richenberger the horse-trader's

Here you are, said Witsil.

[By Telegraph TO the Evening Journal
GRAssE, Oct. 13.-The suit of Edward
Parker Deacon, the American, for
criminal adultery against his wife was
begun today.
Counsel for Mrs. Deacon interposed
plea to dismiss the suit on the ground
that in certain letter Deacon had i'm
piled an intention of abandonment. The
Judges retired 10 consider this point, and
at 70 10 p. m. returned and announced
their decision that the wife had no
grounds upon which to stop the proceed
ings, as her Interpretation of the letter
was not justified.
The court having decided that it had
jurisdiction in the case, took recess
until o'clock p. m.
When the trial was resumed at 8
o'clock Mr.. Barbour appealed against
the decision and asked that the case be
carried to AK near Marseilles. NJ
PLATTE for Mr.. Deacon said that he would
have no objections if Mrs. Deacon would
pay costs. The court then decided that
Mrs. Deacon should pay costs and that
the power of appeal be granted. The
trial probably will take place about the
middle of November.
The request for a dismissal gon the
ground of abandonment undoubtedly
was the surprise which, It is rumored,
before opening, the defence had in store
for Mr.. Deacon. The decision of the
Grasse court on this point has delighted
Mr.. Deacon as he was not prepared for
any rulings in his favor.
Mr.. Deacon is so anxious to obtain
final control of his children that he pro
badly will make some arrangements to
this end within the next three weeks.
