At yesterdays meeting of the
eastern committee of the Western
Passenger association the Union
Pacific repeated its offer of $25 for
a one fare rate between California
Missouri river points as the bas-

if the meeting today refuses the

almost certain to make a $25 fat

Only 81 200 Found.

by Outside Parties.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 2l.-Robbers
have been robbed.
That is the latest announcement and
greatly complexities the task of tho de
~tectives in tracing the money stolen from
the express train at Hancock. After
three days of slceplcas toll, the slcuths
have captured all who were directly or
indirectly implicated, but are far as ever
from success from iinding the plundrr.
Tho money was accurately traced
through the hands of all who were in the
plot, but here the clue suddenly ends.
and the robbers either c~levcrlv concealed
the booty, or as they aver, and detectives
are disposed to believe. others have sue.
cceded in Itching money from the
thieves themselves. OF $4,000 stolen
from the train, it is now pretty we'll
known that aside from $1,000 found IN
kliberty's trunk none has been recover
ed, though detectives express confidence
that they will find it soon. No arrests.
save one, have been made since those al
ready reported.
Late last night the police brought a
suspect to Jail, but after AN hours de
tention became satisfied he know moth
ing. and he was released.
The prisoners are kept as closely
guarded as ever, and are not even per
mItted to see attorneys until the pre-.
limirary examination is held, the time
is no yet fixed.
John Winters and Wesley Shoop were
released from custody this morning, as
no evidence could be secured that would
show criminal knowledge on their part,
or the whereabouts of the stolen fund.
Though they handled Liberty's trunk,
they have been able to show they had no
knowledge Of it's contents. or Liberty's
connection with the robbery.

OF telling blows on the stomach. In the
