ATTHEIR OLD TRICKS
TRAIN RossERY in MISSOURI,
Sic Unmssksd Rascals Relieve an Ex.
press Car In the Regulation
Way.

The west-bound Missouri Pacific passenger
train was held up and robbed thirty miles
west Of st. Louis, Wednesday night by six un-
NAKED men. Over 5000 was secured, tho
express and railway officials say. Tho amount
obtained was probably IN excess Of their estl.
mate.
The train which left st. Louis for Kansas
City at $40 o'clock reached Pacific station,
twenty-five miles west on time and without
accident. Hero, rs It was nfterward learned,
man boarded tho train In front Of the ex-
press car and Immediately behind tho tender
Of the engine.
short distance the other side Of Pacific
about mile--this person climbed over the
tender, and holding q revolver TO the engin-
eer's head, said.
"'Twill be ID healthy for you to stop
her right now" The engineer stopped the
train.
Five confederates Of the robber now appear
coming toward the track out of the darkness
from the adjolning fields.
While two guarded the engine crew the re-
naming 1--we, wearing no masks, returned to
the express car and demanded that the door
be opened. suspecting something evil was
about to happen, the express messenger not
only refused to open the door, but further
proceeded TO foil the progress Of the robbers
by barring the entrance with such baggage
~ he could lay his hands on.
A further demand from the spokesman OF
the highway band urging the express messcn-
ger to open up, receiving no answer, the rob-
bers proceeded to place dynamite cartridge
under the door and blow It open. The crash
WAS deafening and tore hole nearly two
feet square in the woodwork, scattering the
Interior distractions In every direction.
The men, who were unmarked, entered the
car, and, going to the express safe, secured
about s., 800 and \ package valued at 5000
by the Pacific Express Company. The en-
ginecr was then told to $50 ahead like hell"
and Make up your lost time!" None Of the
passenger cars were entered.
Governor Stone and Stsir Treasurer steph-
ems were aboard the train the former at
once offered $500 reward conviction Of
the bandits. A posse Is after them and II Is
thought they will soon be captured.

Though His Victim l. Not Yet Dead-.l
Kentucky Incident.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 10 Charles
Watson, the negro who cut the throat of
little sam Keith, a .s-ear-old boy, was
lynched by a mob of about l 800 citizens of
Morganfield and Uuiontown, Ky. The
hanging occurred in T, ylor's woods, about
mile from Morganfe cid. Young Keith
was at the Uniontown fair selling water
melons. Towards evening Walton sue
ceeded in coaxing Keith into field near
the fair grounds. Wien out of sight of
the people Walton cut the boys throat in
fearful manner and then robbed him
of 81.
The negro fled, and the boy, crawling to
the fence managed to attract the attention
of passers by by making peculiar gurg-
ling sound. He was carried into a house
at the fair grounds and physicians sum-
moned. Everything possible was done for
the sufferer, but there is small hope of
his recovery. Walton was captured short
ly after the cutting and was taken to Nor
ganheld, to which place Keith was also
taken on special train. The prisoner was
identified by the boy. The mob formed
quietly and learning that the prisoner
was on the way to the Henderson jail,
twenty miles distant, they set out to fol-
low.
They came up with the officers and pris-
oner about mile from Morganfield, and
taking Walton out of tie surrey, placed a
rope around his neck ard swung him to n
tree limb. The negro begged piteously
for his life but did not deny his crime. The
rope was tied abort the tree and the body
left hanging until a. n. when it was cut
down and hauled to MorCanfield. 1t was
then buried IN a hole in the ground, with

TOPEKA, kas,, Aug. l9.-The citizens of
Highland township. Sumner county, have
been refused a charter for a Protective
Association" which means an ass oci,tion
for the prevention of horses ealing. This
charter was applied for in accordance with
an act passed by the legislature which
gives the members of such associations the
authority of deputy sheriffs. Had the
charter stopped at this pont it would
have been granted, but the members
wanted not only the power to arrest, but
the power to try and convict the culprits
they might catch and execute them.
