SHE SUES FOR DAMAGES
In the Sum of SIS, 900, the Defend
ant Being j. M. Taylor.


Mrs. Alice Kingsbury, the dress
maker of this city, instituted suit
for damages to the amount of $l5,
600, in the Thirty-seventh district
court this morning. The defendant
in the petition is j. NJ. TavlOr, a
wealthy and prominent citizen of
Sutton county.
Plaintiff alleges that defendant
made a proposal of marriage
to her, which was accepted,
but that Taylor failed to
keep his promise. Mrs. Kings
bury was at the time a married
woman, but was not living with
her husband. Taylor told Mrs.
Kingsbury that her husband
would never return to her and
that he had so stated to him. Tay-
Tor procured a divorce for Mrs.
Kingsbury from her husband. He
agreed to marry her this year and
urged her to suspend all business
pursuits, sell her furniture and
prepare to marry and accompany
him to his home in Sutton county.
This she did.
Shortly afterwards, however,
Taylor wrote Mrs. Kingsbury an
offensive note, breaking off their
engagement. He then married an
other woman.

PROBABLY MURDER.
Three Men Held Awaiting the
Recovery of an Assaulted VIC

tim.
A man named San ceda was pass
ing a saloon near the corner of
Monterey and FriO streets last
night about 10 o'clock, when he
was stopped by TheO. Rosales, Jose
Luna and Juan LOngOria. 1t is not
known what the nature of the con-
VersatiOn was. which these men
engaged in, but the result was a
serious one.
About the time Sanceda was
leaving, one of the men mentioned
above, struck Sanceda over the
head with a sharp Instruments cut
ting a deep, long and ugly cash
and knocking the man senseless.
The mounted officers were sent for
and Rosales, Luna and LOngoria
were taken to the Central police
station lookup on the charge of
beating and striking.
Sanceda was conveyed to his
home and DR.. Starnes was called
in and attended to the wound,
taking several stitches in his head.
He stated at the time that the
cash was very serious one.
The three offenders were ar
raigned for trial in the recorders
court this morning at II o'clock,
but their cases were not tried
owing to the non-appearance of
Sanceda, who is in critical cOndi-
ton and may not live through the
day.
When the condition of Sanceda
was reported, Captain Bennett or
dered these three men placed in
Jail, and gave orders not to allow
them to give bond in any sum. If
Sanceda dies, the cases will be
transferred and the charge will be
murder.

TRAIN ROBBERY.
California Exp TESS Held Up by q Gang of
five bandits IN Kansas.

California Exp TESS Held Up by Gang of
Five bandits IN Kansas.
CIMARRoN, Kan, June l2.-The Cali
fornia express No. 1, westbound on the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, was held
up near this place, and the express car
robbed of about $4,000, at 1880 a. m.
Saturday. There were five bandits in
the party. They tagged the train just
west of Cimarron and forced the fire
man and engineer, at the point
of revolvers, to accompany them
to the express car There they
made the engineer ask the express
messenger, Whittlesey, to open the
door Whittlesey refused, and then
the robbers began firing into the car
The messenger was wounded in the
left side, but he pluckily refused to
open the door. Then the robbers re-
sorted to dynamite, and with that ex.
plosive blew the door in. They rifled
the car of everything of value which
they could find. The express messen-
gers strong box was opened and the
contents stolen. IL contained 1000 sill
yer dollars and other valuables to an
amount not ascertainable, but presum-
ably email, because the box contained
matter for way stations only. The
through safe could not he opened. s.isiv-
ing secured everything valuable in
sight. the robbers made their escape on
horses, riding south toward the Indian
Territory.
Express Messenger Whittlesey was
not badly injured, and completed his
run TO Santa Fe, n. NJ. He is the
messenger who stood off the Dalton
gang at Red Rock, I. r., over yeai
ago, and who narrowly escaped death
at the time by shooting.
