TRAIN ROBBED IN TEXAS,
THE EMPRESS SAFE AND PNsSEN-
GERS RELIEVED OF MONEY.
Brutal Acts by the six Mcn-It Being
sunday Night Train II Is Thought
That Very Small sum of Money
i'm All Was Secured.

AUSTIN. Tex. Dec. 1.-THE cannon
ball train No , on the Texas Pacific rail-
way was robbed by six men at DuvaI
last midnight. The express safe was
looted of its contents and passengers
robbed of their money and other val
uables. II is not known what the COM
pany's loss is. The train was stopped
by the burning of a switch by the rob-
bers, and the engineer not obeying or
ders with the alacrity required, was shot
in the shoulder.
About fifty shots were fired into the
engine. baggage and express cars and
the mail car was also riddled, but not
robbed. The engineer and fireman were
ordered to open the express car and this
was done as soon as the engineers voice
was recognized. The baggagemaster
and express messenger We're stationed
alongside the car and forced to hold up
their hands nearly an hour by two of
the bandits who stood guard over them.
one Of the shots fired entered and broke
Engineer Corrigan's right arm. but he
was compelled 10 hold up the stump un-
til he fell 10 the ground exhausted.
The robbers were very profane and
brutal to the men and women in the
coaches and struck some or them over
the head with their pistols because they
had so little money. The sleepers were
not entered. 1t is believed the robbers
got only a few hundred dollars all told.
1t being a Sunday night train it is not
thought the express had very much
money aboard
Three men passed through the coaches
while those on the outside kept a con-
stant and rapid fire to intimidate the
passengers. many of whom, when the
bandits entered, We're hiding under the
seats. But the robbers made all deliver
money. watches and finger rings. One
man did the rObbing while the others
held six-shooters. Charles Turner, a
bus agent, saved his watch and money
by throwing it under the stove When
the second passenger coach was entered
one robber left "A package on the coal
box. and after the robbery il was dis
covered to be an express package con-
tanning $500. The robbers did not enter
the sleepers. Messenger Buffinger does
not know how much money the express
safe contained, but the run on Sunday
night is light.
After going through the train the rob
bers got away as quickly as possible in
the darkness toward the mountains
The amount of the booty is variously
estimated at from $4,000 TO $4,000. II
is suspected that the gang is the same

John Westgnrth Wants 10000 Men to
Meet Him on the Lake Front.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7-Circulars have
been scattered about Chicago signed by
John Westgarth. a farmer Of Lily Lake
Kane county, ILL.,, calling on working
men to meet him, 10000 strong, on the
lake front, Chicago, on Dec. II. The
men are requested to come mounted and
armed and to meet Westgarth at the
break of day. The circular closes as
follows:
Sound no warning note; come quiet
ly; come not to seek the reason why;
come to ask the reason why; come pre-
pared to do and die" To the end that
the lake front may be dedicated to pop
ular assemblages for chaste utterance.

The police promptly suppressed the
circulars and notified the authorities Of
Kane county to look out for Westgarth,
who Is said by his acquaintances to be
a crank" If he sets foot inside Chi
cago's limits the police will meet him
with a patrol wagon.

There is every reason to believe the rob-

the preparations were perfect and the
men were probably fully armed for
action if caught in tight place, as the

AJURYMAN,s A INTEREST.

When does q juryman take sufficient iu-
terest in casea is an interesting and i'm
portant question. In the opinion of an
able attorney of this city, he doesn't take
enough interest In a case when he falls
asleep during the trial of 1t. In the
opinion of many jurymen he takes enough
interest in 1t when he sits through it with
out falling asleep and then guesses at a
verdict. In the opinion of the really con-
scientious juryman he takes enough in
terest in 1t only when he hears and con-
siders every detail of 1t, closely watches
the faces and actions of the accused or the
accuser, is open to whatsoever the lawyers
may say, and makes his decision as care
fully and honestly as he can.
One of the theories on which the jury
system rests is that man who is chosen
to be one of twelve who are to make
decision affecting the liberty or property
of fellow man will take an interest in the
case, will not fall asleep during the trial,
and will give an honest opinion In making
up the verdict. This is the plain duty of
Juryman, anu IL ls eVloeu1 tnRt IL u man
knows that he cannot act as a juryman
should he should tell somebody SO bsfore
he is put on jury and falls asleep, or In
some other way fails to be a good
jurymsn. If a man can't take enough
interest in a trial to keep awake
OF to follow the thread of the proceedings
and the arguments he should say 80 be-
fore he makes trouble. He should do as
an Englishmsn did the other day. At the
Southport County court a local trad
objected to bs sworn as a juror on the
ground that che would not be able to take
sufficient interest in the case to arrive at q
fair and just judgment" He did not pretend
that his mental organization was incaps-
BILE of balancing evidence, but merely
that 1t was unable to form Judgment in
an uninteresting case. The court saw the
honesty and the reasonableness of his OBJ
jection and he was relieved from further
attendance at court.
It is not probable that the example OF
this honest and discriminating man will
find many imitators, but 1t Is clear that he
knew what was due to justice and the jury
afem
