Train Robbers and a Citizens Posse Have a
Battle.
Ell RENO, o. T., May 222.-Two men sup
posed to be members of the Dalton gang
of train robbers passed through FL Reno

the little town of Yukon to intercept
them. A posse was quickly organized and
when the train robbers made their appear

The defense was quite as hot the at

Fish was shot in the groin, the bullet pass

An old man named Nelson was shot in

was shot in the face and will die.
One of the robbers was shot off his herse
and captured, but resisted to the last, and
several of his captOrs bear cuts and bruises

revolver. The other robber made good his
escape, but he is supposed to have been hit
two or three times. 1t is not known who
he is. The one captured is unknown
The chase after the escaped bandit was
very exciting; but, the outlaws horse be-

FAIR PLAY.
The Water Committee Working Foe the |
Best interests OF the People.

The Water Committee Working Foe the
Best interests Of the People.
The communication in the DEMOCRAT
yesterday concerning the alleged ind1t-
ference of the water committee toward the
unemployed of the city has attracted
much attention. The writer IS
man who enjoys the respect of the
community and much of what he said is
only too true. But the insinuation that
politics influenced the committee. or that
the only use local Office holders have for
workingmen is to secure their votes, the
DEMOCRAT cannot accept as true. 1t might
have been good plan to let the work on
one section of the pipe line out by the day.
Without doubt much of the distress in
the city at present might have been
avoided had this been done, although
there would have been a corresponding in
crease in the cost of the work The water
committee is composed of men who, we
believe have the best interest of the whole
people at heart. They are in duty bound
to have the work done at as low a figure as
possible, and even by practicing the great
beyond the estimate. It is too late, how
ever, to find fault because the work was let
out to contractors. On the other hand the
committee should and we have the assur-
ance of the members that they will do
everything in their power to secure places
on the works for as many of the city's I'M
employed as possible. They only ask that
those who may be given employment re-
turn a fair equivalent in labor for the
wages received.

road en- route for Freeport, Ill.
Chief Snagg is attending meeting OF
the executive committee of the State Fire

Mrs Samuel Booth, mother of W. Il.
Booth. died at he residence of her
daughter, Mrs Barlow, at Watertown, this
morning. Mrs Booth went on visit to
her daughter about a week ago and was
taken Ill with pneumonia which resulted
In her death. The remains were removed
to her home on North Elm street in York's
ambulance this afternoon.
There was an exciting runaway on
Scovill street this afternoon. John w.
Gaffney left his horse standing in front of
the site of the proposed new st Cecilia
church and went into the lot to give some
instructions to the men. The animal be-
came restless and started down the street
at great speed. At the corner of Scovill
and South Main streets the horse slipped
and fell. but quickly regained his feet and
rushed across the street and onto the side
walk, thrusting one of the shafts of the
carriage through the plate glass window in
the saloon of E. E. Fitch in the McGrath
block. The animal was seized by the
crowd before doing further damage. He
was cut and bruised by the fall and Mr.
Gaffoey had him taken to DR. BANDS
stable.
The slot machines must 60. That was
the command issued by Chief Egan to-day
to the patrolmen as they started for their
respective beats. The saloon keepers will
not be surprised, however, as they have
been expecting an order for some weeks.
They saw that other cities were abolishirg
this gambling device and they knew
it was only matter of time
when they would be ordered to remove
them. The order takes in all kinds of
machines where it is game of chance.
Nickel machines where money may be
won, nickel machines where cigars may be
won. or you lose your nickel, and penny
machines where the same results are OBJ
tanned. The police will notify all whom
they know have the machines,
but otL ers who are not notified must re-
move them Just the same. Chief Egan
says the patrolmen may miss some, but
still the press will be sufficient warming.
Many saloons in the city have reaped the
harvest from thea nickel machine where
money is to be won. 1t is fact that
some of the machines have given more
money to the proprietor than the receipts
over the bar.

COULD BE BOUGHT CHEAP
Half a Million Would secure Control of
the New ENGLAND Road.

the New England Road.
A great many people cannot understand
why the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad does not buy the New York
& New England railroad. 1t could buy it
for less than half million dollars. It re-
ceives $780, 200 cash for its second mort
gage bonds and it pays 100000 year in
lawyers fees, at least half of which could
be saved if the New England were in it its
possession. The New England road con-
meets at twenty-five competing points on
the New Haven system and it stated that
an advance of a fraction of mill per ton
mile in freight rates would pay all the
fixed charges of the New England road.
The property would, on this showing,
stand the New Haven road at only $780,
900 cash. -s,-
Pressure is being brought to bear on the
New Haven management by its friends to
take this property in order to get it out of
the way, but some of the M anagement say
they do not want it, but are able to con-
troll it without owning it.
1t is curious fact, showing how COM
pletely the New Haven road is able to an
noy a competitor, that the mortgage which
the Parsons management of the New Eng
land attempted to secure about two years
ago has never been able to pass beyond
day. This was blanket mortgage of
S25, OOO,O 600, and by means of it the Par
sons management hoped to get New Eng
land out of its difficulties. but the moment
the mortgage reached the comptrollers
Office there were hearings before master,
injunctions and a great many other legal
points raised, which have laid it on the
shelf to this day.
Yesterday was the last day for deposits
under the plan for the reorganization of
the New York & New England railroad.
John I. Waterbury, the chairman of the
committee, said the deposits were large
and the count of them could not be COM
pleted yesterday. 1t is stated upon excel
lent authority that over seventy-fve per
cent of both the common and preferred
stocks had been deposited as well as
large percentage of the second mortgage
bonds. In addition, considerable amounts
of both stock and bonds have been pledged
for deposits within the next day or two.

A Card From Mary q. Flanagan.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
In Sunday paper there was an article
in reference to the Jessell jealousy that
was most misleading. Said article was in
relation to Mary Flanagan and her So
called chum having informed Mrs Jessell
of certain acts of her husband. Mary
Flanagan has never met Mrs Jessell
and does not know the lady at ALL and
not knowing her did not tell her anything,
for she considers such conduct beneath
her. So the article is a malicious false
hood.

The part William H. Crane plays in his
new comedy Brother john" which is to

turer of hats, living in a small town in
Connecticut. He is an unsophisticated
Yankee, who has accumulated fortune in
his business. but whose simple, honest
ways and freeness from all the pomp and
vain glory moDey brings to certain people,
makes him endeared by all his neighbors
He is odd, of middle age, red-headed and a

his great bashfulness. The actor is said
to make the character a very lovable and
