IT CURDLES The BLOOD.
THE AWFUL THREAT or A CHICAGO
CRANK.
HE WOULD USE DYNAMITE

To Blow Up the Armour Insti-
tute-The Lives of Philip d.
Armour and DR.. Frank Gum
saulus in Danger-The Crank
Wanted to Work Mr.. Armour
for Large Sum of Money.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Armour institute,
at Thirty-third street and Armour ave-
hue, has been threatened with destruc-
| tion by dynamite crank, and it is said
also that the lives of Philip d. Armour,
| founder of the institute, and DR.. Frank
Gunsaulus, its president and pastor of
Plymouth church, have been placed in
jeopardy by the same individual.
Neither Dr.. Gunsaulus nor Mr.. Armour
will say single word concerning the
story of their own lives being in dan
ger, but at the same time it is positively
| known that DR.. Gunsaulus has declared
that man who was at one time con-
nected with the Armour institute has
threatened to blow it up with dynamite
at time when such deed would prove
a terrible calamity. When the threat
was made the doctor, by his persua-
! sions and threats, for the time being
| converted the would-be dynamiter, and
the latter departed promising not to
carry his threatinto execution. He had
| a wild look in his eyes, however, as he
had later on several occasions when DR..
| Gunsaulus met him on the street. The
story is that the crank demanded that
DR.. Gunsaulus furnish him with money
or get it from Mr.. Armour. The mill
ionaire Is a member of tho congregation
of Plymouth church, and warm
personal friend of Its pastor. 1t
was on this that the crank count
ed when he demanded that DIR. Gunsau-
lus use his influence with Mr.. Armour
in order to procure the money. When
the request was denied by the pastor,
then came threats of blowing up both
him and Mr. Armour as we'll as the in
stitute. Beatrice Gunsaulus, the twelve
year old daughter of the pastor, an
Douneed two days since that 'a man
with pistol has been following my
papa around, and one day man wear
ing light overcoat came to the house,
and papa was afraid to have him
around" That was the extent of the
little girls information, and she vouched
for its truth by saying 'My
papa told me that much
about it. DR.. Gunsaulus to-
night refused to say anything
about his personal danger. but said: sit
is true that threats have been made to
blow up the Institution with dynamite.
A man who was connected with it was
discharged. and when he left remarked
to me: L don't care; 1 can fix this
place any day with little dynamite l
told him that any further talk of that
kind would lead to his arrest. He SAID
he did not mean anything, and went
away. have seen him several times
since, and 1 am still little apprehen-
sive concerning the institute. Concern
ing myself and Mr.. Armonr, gness we
are all right up to the present time"
Further than that Dr. Gunsaulus would
say nothing.

Brigands Hold Up a Southern
Pacific Express.
TWO MEN DO THE LITTLE JOB.
They Get Ten Dollars From
the Engineer.
THE EXPRESS CAR rs LOCKED.
They We're Apparently a Pair
Of Green Hands.
DIDN'T KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.

Los ANGELES. Cal :, Dec. 24.-The
railroad brigands have again appeared
in California and this morning attacked
Southern Pacific train bearing the
treasure of the Wells-Fargo express.
Passenger train 80. which pulled out
of this city late last night, north-bound.
was held up at Roscoe, small
station twelve miles north of here,
early this morning. The train was
stopped by two men, who covered
the trainmen with revolvers, and blew
open the door of the express car with
dynamite. After the robbers had
gone through the express car the train
was allowed to proceed after detention
of about thirty minutes. 1t is claimed
that the robbers got nothing, with the
exception of $40 which was taken from
the engineer. as they were unable to
open the safe. and everything was
locked up. Will Smith, Southern
Pacific detective, who started out from
here ABOUT 4 o'clock this morning with
posse, returned about noon. He says
the work was that of
GREEN HANDS
who went out from this city and re-
turned Immediately after the robbery.
He thinks they are local men, and this
evening officers are working on clue
which promises to lead to their capture.
One of the robbers went out early in the
evening with horses and the others fol-
lowed OH the train. AT Roscoe the first
man built fire by the track. and as the
train approached poured oil on the
flames as a signal to his confederate,
who was on top of freight car just be-
hind the tender. The latter then clam
bered down over the tender and, cover
ing the engineer with his revolver, Or
dered him to stop the train, which he
did, when another man appeared at
the cab, and the "hold-up" was pro-
ceeded with. Another story is that the
robbers went out on the train as pas
sengers, having purchased tickets to
Burbank. where they left the train
oStensibly, but made their way forward
in the darkness, and again boarded the
train forward, when they made their
way to the engine over the tender The
Southern Pacific has reward of $1,000
for information leading to the arrest of
the robbers, in addition to the regular
Wells-Fargo reward. No one was hurt
and no damage done beyond the break
ing open of the express car.

SANTA FE RECEIVERsHIP.
General Agent Collbran Discusses
the Situation.

the Situation.
DENVER, Col. Dec. 24.-H. Collbran,
general agent of the Santa Fe Railroad
company, says the appointment of re-
ceivers for the property will have no
effect whatever in Colorado. When
asked if he thought the English stock
holders Of the Colorado Midland would
demand separate receiver for that
property, as eX-Gov. Evans had done in
the case of the Union Pacific, Den
yer q Gulf. Mr.. Collbran replied:
MOT at all. The cases are entire ly
different. The entire stock of the Mid
land was bought by the Santa Fe road,
and the English stockholders can do
nothing. The only redress they can
they are dissatisfied with those ap-
pointed by the courts"
Mr.. Coll0ran said the Midland Term
lnal, the new road being built to Grip
pie Creek, which is to be feeder of the
Santa Fe, would not be affected, as the
money for its construction had all been
subscribed. MIR. Collbran said -the
passing Of the Santa Fe into receivers
hands would be a great calamity in the
East, especially in New England, where
much of the stock was held.
Oh. LOUlS, MO-, Oec. S0.- lie OLlclalS
Of the Santa Fe system and of the
Union and the Mercantile Trust COM
panies, who were at Little Rock yester-
day, passed through this city today, en-
route home. They stayed but short
time in The city, aud when asked for
statements said they had nothing to say.
Ii was ascertained by the Associated
Press representative that they had
agreed that creditors of the system who
had advanced money to keep up the
system would be considered as pre-
ferred creditors in the payment of
claims. The wages of the employees of
the system will be paid during the
coming week. Receiver Wilson arrived
from Topeka and met the officials today,
returning shortly after. He stated that
he would In few weeks go to New
York, meet the other two receivers and
confer with them.

ton, New York and Chicago special on

THE PAIR CAUGHT TOGETHER.

SULLIVAN, Ind. Dec. pa dread
full tragedy was enacted here this morn
Ing. w. G. HultZ, a prominent attor-
ney of this place, was shot at the en-
trance to livery stable. The assassin
was armed with double-barreled shot
gun, both barrels of which were dis
charged iu rapid succession, taking
effect in HultZ's back. He fell at the
entrance of the stable, and called to a
man in the rear part of the stable that
he had been shot by Lem Willis. He
died almost instantly. No one appears
to have seen the shooting, which oc-
Cured at o'clock, when but few per-
Eons were out. The assassin, who ap-
pears to have been in disguise, was seen
to run away from the place, lodging
through alleys. Some three or four
months ago Willis suspected GRIM
lnal intimacy between his wife and
Hultz. and set trap for them by tell
Ing his wife he had business In another
town which would detain him all night.
She drove him to the station and saw
him get on the train, and then informed
Hultz that her husband would be away
that night. At an early hour in the
evening the husband returned and, lis
tening at the window, discovered the
guilty pair together. He had fastened
the door of escape and broke in on
them, shooting at the intruder. HultZ
was wounded, but after few weeks re-
covered. He then went to Arkansas on
hunt, and, not returning with the
ha
another location. A few days ago he
returned, and it was announce he had
come back to stay. The assassination
was not therefore a matter of great sur
prise. About an hour after the killing
Willis was arrested by constable who
met him coming towards town. He
claims to be innocent.
Willis is ex-sheriff of this county. The
circumStancial evidence against him is
very strong. A small boy has been
found who, just before the shooting,
saw a man who, the boy says positively,
was none other than Willis, putting on
false beard and wig in stairway.
The hostler of the stable was told by a
disguised man just before the shooting
to leave the stable. Immediately after
the shooting the assassin ran out of
town in the direction of Willis farm,
stopping at a small pond, where he
wrapped the wig, beard and gun in the
Dvercoat he had worn and threw the
bundle into the water. AT the time
Hultz and Mrs. Willis were caught to-
gether Willis secured a divorce and
brought suit for heavy damages against
Hultz. This was still pending, Willis,
1t is said, having refused offers of COM
promise.
The popular sentiment is strongly
against Willis tonight, although at the
time of the former happening it was
with him.
