HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Story OF the Kansas & Arkansas
Train Robbery.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 25.-The
first entirely accurate details of the
Kansas d Arkansas Valley hold-up at
Seminole, L. T., Saturday evening
reached Little Rock at $50 this after
noon, when the robbed train arrived.
Seminole, the scene of the robbery, is
flag station nine miles south of Coffey-
vile, Kan. There is no town there, and
nothing to mark the spot save side
track and small platform. Train No.
232 reached Seminole Sunday night
shortly after dark. The switch had
been turned, throwing the tram OH the
siding. The switch is on a heavy up
grade, and the train Immediately came
to standstill. There were no cars on
the Sidetrack, as has been stated. When
the train stopped two men mounted
the engine and begun by robbing
Engineer Bush Harris of his
watch and $40 in cash. They then pro-
ceeded to the mail car and rif1ed the
mail pouches. Mail Clerk ii. E. Pinck-
ney, who was Ill charge, was forced to
deliver the registered packages. After
abStracting the cash the letters were
handed back to the clerk. Pinckney
was relieved of his watch and So cents
In change, 25 cents OF which was re-
turned to him to buy lunch. An
entrance to the express car was gained
without resistance on the part of the
express manager as there was nothing
of great value on board. The robbers
commanded Messenger Ford to open up
the safe, from which they took two
small packages, value unknown, and
500 in money. Finishing their work
III the express car, the rob-
bers turned their attention to
the coaches. Two men went
through the cars, while the
other two maintained a constant firing
on the outside. So much time had been
consumed in the mail and express cars
that the passengers had ample opportu-
nifty to secrete their valuables. Very
little of value was obtained in the
coaches. The robbers appropriated all
the Overcoats and watches in the cars
but the sum total of the cash they Sc
cured will approximate less than $780,
Several passengers saved large sums by
hiding their purses under the car seats.
Both Of the men who went through the
coaches were young men, neither
being over twenty-three, and had
the appearance of unSophlsticat-
ed country youths. When they
went through the sleepers they
displayed an utter ignorance of sleeping
car berths. The robbers did not use
abusive language to the passengers and
offered no violence. None of the pas
sengers were armed, and there were no
acts of herolsm or unusual incidents.
The train was held one hour and twenty
minutes. 1t is stated positively that the
railroad officials here have the names of
the four robbers. and 1t is believed
their capture is only a question of a few
days.
Chief of Detectives Thiel, who has
been at work on the Oliphant robbery.
was in the city, and Immediately on re-
ceipt of the news Of the hold-up Sunday
evening he left on special train for the
scene of the crime, reaching there few
hours after the bandits had taken their
departure.

WILL ARREST THE BooKIEs,
Ivy City Bookmakers Will Work
Under Difficulties.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Racing will
be resumed at Ivy City tomorrow.
President Engeman, under the advice
of his counsel, decided Wednesday TO
begin racing again tomorrow. The few
sporting men who are in the city ex-
press the opinion that if the authorities
only make one arrest after the first
race. so as to enable them to make a
test case, the meeting will continue and
be good one, as plenty of bookmakers
will be here to make business lively;
but if the authorities make good their
threats to arrest all bookmakerS and
Dettors after each and every race, the
meeting will probably come to a close
tomorrow. An official of the police de-
partment said to an Associated Press
representative tonight: 1.-The author
tiles will arrest every person who posts
an odd. The general public will not be
disturbed. but every bookmaker will be
arrested as soon as he lays bet" The
entries for tomorrow are large, nearly
every race having fifteen horses. The
purses are for $500. Arrangements have
been made for bailIng of all persons
arrested tomorrow.

FOOTBALL CHANGES.
Experts Generally Think the
Rules Should Be Changed.


Boston, Mass, Dec. 25.-Several ex-
perts identified with football at Har-
ward have given their opinions relative
10 proposed changes of rules, and the
coming convention toward that end. l..
I. Leland. the inventor of the wedge
and other tricks. says: LAS to the use
of momentum plays, no one would be
more glad TO see them done away with
than l. l should much prefer to see
more open style of play. l don't think
1t would be good plan TO abolish tie
use OF the flying mass in the opening
play. Here it IS more open, and there
fore less dangerous"
George A. Stewart says: "Tne old
fashioned mass plays are not danger
Gus, and have not been regarded so.
The momentum play L don't consider
any worse"
Manager Herbert II. White says: II
am opposed to mass and momentum
plays. and in favor of an open game"
Capt. b. q. Waters SAYS: Il don't
believe in trying to change the style of
The game"
Charlie Brewer says: "The game
would be more interesting if there were
more open plays. The proposal to make
the distances to be gained on four
downs ten yards instead of five would
be one way of doing this, think"
W. ii. Lewis, Harvard'S center
rusher, says: II think the momentum
plays are not dangerous"

KILLED FOR A WOMAN.
Double Murder at Country
Dance.

DOuDie MuFuer at country
Dance.
ELIZAB ETHToWN, H., Dec, 25.-At a
dance at Rock creek, near here, last
night Dave Evans and John Howell
appeared for the purpose, as they said,
of raising disturbance and doing up''
George Barnard. They found Barnard
and drew their revolvers, but Barnard
was too quick for Evans, the spokes-
man, and sent ball crashing through
his mouth. Barnard;s revolver only
contained two cartridges, and, after fir
ing the second shot he was at the mercy
of his assailants, who emptied their
revoivers at'him, Howell following him
up and shooting him until he fell dead.
Frank Ledbetter, a bystander, was shot
in the thigh. Four bullets took effect
in Barnard;s body. Howell gave him
self up and Evans walked to house
near by, where he lies in critical con-
ditlon. An old grudge is at the bottom
of the affair, occasioned by trouble over
a woman.
