Good Marksmen
When the smoke cleared away the life.
less bodies of kohler and Indau were
found lying on the floor OF the car. Both
had been shot through the head. The
bullets which pierced kohler's head pro.
duced instant death. He never stirred
after he was hit. Indall was still breath
ing, but he died shortly after he was
brought here. Frederick, the third rob.
Der engaged in the fight in the car, was
uninjured and was placed under arrest.
None Of the officers was injured While
the fighting was going on in the car those
Of the police not engaged in it were look
ing after the two robbers who had been
left outside to keep watch. The police
quickly took them in and placed them un-
der arrest.
The bandit who had been detailed to
guard the engineer and fireman quickly
realized the situation when he heard the
battle going on i'll the express car and
promptly made his escape. A detail of
officers was put on his track and quickly
took up the pursuit with every prospect
of capturing the fugitive before dawn. A
remarkable feature of the fight in the ex-
press car was the escape of all the officers
from injury. The three robbers in the car
were each armed with a brace of revolvers
and used them freely, bat still they did no
damage All the robbers lived here.
The place picked out by the robbers is an
ideal one for train robbery. The district
Immediately north of St. Joseph is not
thckly populated. The road runs through
a series of sand hills along high embank-
ments flanking the Missouri river In the
riprapping that is necessary to keep the
river banks intact at this place huge piles
of stone and rubble had been dumped on
the one side and banks of sand flank the
tracks on the other.
The strip of land is so poor agricultur-
ally as to offer no inducement to farmers,
and hence after leaving st. Joe the pas
senger sees rather a dreary prospect until
the railroad branches away from the river
a little.

Wabash wreck at kingsbury Willie
Hoskins. one of the London orphan bell
ringers travelling under the management

Ringer company who was killed instantly,
were brought to Peru, and both the lads
were buried at Mount Hope cemetery

company, both of whose legs were broken
remains in a serious condition. Jim Bar
Der of Ashley, Ind, fireman on the wrecked
freight, has been brought to the hospital.
His arm is terribly burned and he is
scalded badly all over. He is considered
by the physicians to be in critical condi-
ton. The little daughter of H W. Rider
is not much improved and brain fever may
attack her. Several others are suffering
intensely, but are not considered in danger.

planned and they notified the police.
When the train arrived here dummy

When the dummy reached a point two

SOMEWHAT LATE.

The State is late in taking measures to
protect the Oakland water front from the
Southern Pacific Company. and people
who know how the Kentucky corporation
has Kept grip on politicians in the past
are naturally suspicious that the proceed
Jugs commenced last week will not be
pushed with the energy and industry the
case requires. The movement of the Ken
lucky corporation to fence in the Oakland
water front is based doubtless on the res
erVations in the Chicago decision giving
privileges TO individuals and corporations
who bad made improvements. This pre-
tense. thin as it is, needs careful watching
The Federal Supreme Court is not COM
posed of exactly the same men now as
when the Chicago decision was rendered
The improvement pretext was then ad-
mitted doubtless in Difference to rights of
property acquired on the Chicago water
front before the decision was rendered
But it cannot apply to improvements CON-
menced after the decision was rendered
and plainly for the purpose OF esta bisbing

the best and sturdiest lawyers in the State

ROSS AND OLNEY.

Judge Ross does not appear tn have had
much consideration for the sensibilities of
Attorney General Olney when he replied
TO Olney's conflicting orders in respect to
funds for the deportation of Chinese found
unlawfully in the country. 1t was cruel
in the Judge to force upon the mind of the
first law officer of the Government knowl-
edge of the fact that be did not know that
a section of law that had been often en-
forced was law. Judge Ross was not
perhaps sufficiently considerate of the pre-
vailing impression that since Mr.. Olney
has held the Office of Attorney General his
mind has been concentrated on expedients
TO subject trusts to law. In Mr.. Cleve-
lands inaugural letter some fine promises
were made as TO what would be done with
trusts during his administration. 1t was
intimated at the time that MI Cleveland
had discovered a man in Boston lawofice
who had made an especial study OF the
methods by which trusts have been oper-
ated. Olney was the mae. II is true he
had studied the methods of trusts in the
employ of trusts. but it was held to be fact
that the knowledge thus gained was his
own. The presumption is that since
OIney was sworn In he has been watching
for chance to make a spring at the throat
Of a trust. While waiting, catlike. to
vigilant eye upon everyday statutes that
otherwise might have enabled him to avoid
such plumbers as Judge Ross pointed out.

or premonitory signs of plague, pestilence

them with terrestrial or subterranean phe-
nomena. But considering the size OF the

divide the celestial body from another, it
is surprising that there should ever be

THE SENATE IN A CORNER.

There is Demo cratic chorus to the
effect that the Senate should let the silver
repeal bill come to a vote and abide by the
result. If repeal is carried the country
goes to the single gold basis; if repeal fails
there will be legislation to continue the
use of silver as money. Iu insisting upon
repeal the Cleveland papers do not suffi-
GENTLY realize tho fact that the repeal
majority is made up in large part of Sena-
tors, who, like our own Perkins. are op-
posed to the purchase of silver while in
favor of some legislation to continue the
use of silver as money. The short way
out OF the corner would be for the Sena-
tors who are facing both ways to vote
against repeal until it is accompanied with
a bill providing for the use of silver. The
cry against the Senate now is because it
does not come to vote. If it should vote
against repeal it would be exercising its
unquestioned constitutional right.
