TRAIN ROBBERY Fooled.
BANDITS LAID FOR A ST. PAUL AND
OMAHA TRAIN
CLIO SIC TO wORTHINGTON

A Footman Happens Upon the
Robbers Tearing Up the Rails,
and Is Himself Held Up for
$35O-He Reports the Affair
at Worthington and Saves the
Train.
Supt. Scott, of the Omaha, gave out
some interesting information yesterday.
He said as the Omaha passenger train
No. 2, en- route for st. Paul from Sioux
City yesterday morning between l and
2 O'Clock, had reached point two miles
out from WCrthington, between that
point and Merriam Junction, it escaped,
by chance, from being wrecked. 1t
seems that about 1:30 in the morning a
man came into the station at Worthing-
ton, and reported that at point two
miles from there. while he was walking
along the tracks, he suddenly came
upon three men who were at work loos-
ening the rails from the ties, preparatory
20 tearing them up. AS soon as the
depredatorS saw the stranger they
ceased their work, and set upon him.
In the attack he was shot in
the leg, and was robbed of $3.50
On receipt Of this information Road
master Manning, of Worthington, with
crew of men. Immediately went to the
spot indicated, and found, of course,
that the three men had decamped, but
the evidences OF their work remained
Ii was discovered that number OF
bolts had been removed and several
angle bars looSened. The natural theory
of the company officials is that the
three men Intended to wreck the train
and hold UP the passengers for tbeil
valuahles. With such clues as the com
pany has 1T hand, it is theoretically
working, and hopes to be able to rouno
up the Scound!elS.

tackled and robbed is John lyerson
There is but little doubt if Iverson haC
not appeared on the scene with so muci
ready money on his person just as h,
did, to satisfy the cupiGity of the pro

land has an attack of rheumatism in his foot

The Biggest Egg.

"Wenow come, esidJ. O. Stephens,
at his auction rooms in King street,
Covent Garden, $50 the egg of the
Aepyornis maximus, the biggest bird
living OF extinct. 1t has been extinct
for some time, and only two of its
bones have been found. According to
the catalogue the bird was more than
ten feet high and was hightless. "
81 should think SO, said prospec-
tive egg buyer.
1T would seem to me-" said Mr..
Stephens, "that the bird that laid this
egg must have been something like
thirty-fve feet high-about as high as
house. You will see by the cats-
logue that it measures 349 inches in
its longest circumferen, and twenty
eight inches in girth. This egg is
several inches larger than the egg we
sold last year. Its, of course, great
rarity, and not more than thirty OF
these eggs are known.
''This, / think, is the finest egg OF
the lot. 1t should he remembered
that there are sixty known eggs Of the
great aux, and they sell for couple
of hundred guiness each. | cont
mean to say that this egg should bring
as much as great auk's egg, bat we
sold one not so good as this last year
for seventy guineas.
The egg was passing from hand to
hand in q wooden box while the
auctioneer was speaking. 1t looked
too large for an egg, though in other
respects it seems natural enough. 1t
was not difficult to understand how a
bird that had laid such an egg had be-
come extinct. The strain must have
been equal to the horsepower of an
Atlantic liner, and the cackle that TO-
lowed the arrival of the egg must have
,,4ntie the welkin ring until its head
ached.
The egg is of brownish gray color
and sounds like porcelain when it is
drummed ON with the knuckles The
bird that WAS accustomed to lay this
sort of egg lived, it is said, in NADIA
gascar, and buried its eggs in the sand.
1t is only possibly to find the egg by
digging in the sand, and more eggs
may yet be found. as good deal OF
the seashore of Madagascar has not
been dug up yet.
The egg was finally sold for sixty
seven guineas. Pail Mall Gazette.
