Los ANGELES, June 13.-Judge Ross, in
the United States Circuit Court to-day,
sentenced the 10 wealers who stole the
train of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
at Barstow, on June 9th, to four months
. in the County Jail each.
Judge Ross startled the court by an
nouncing that he had received the follow
ing threatening letter:
You sentence one of the Industrial
Army to jail and you will get some dyna-
mite By order Of X"
Judge Ross grew very indignant, and
stated that if he knew who the man was
who had sent that letter he would never
send another. Judge Ross found that the
men were acting as an army, and some of
the men knew that the Atlantic and Pa
citic Railroad was in the hands of re-
ceiver and thus the whole army was in
contempt. The men were divided among
the seven County Jails of this district.

A ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Body of Missing Man Found in the
River.


River.
ST. LOUIS, June BIN the discovery
of the body of George Remmert in the
river another mystery has been added to
the long list of this city. George Rem
inert was. until his disappearance, por-
ter. and had been with his employer for
thirteen consecutive years. On January
1st he went to the store to meet his en-
ployer to talk over some private business.
Ihe cony ersation was held. Remmert
said good-by and departed somewhat in a
depressed state. This was the last seen
OF him until his body was recovered in
the river yesterday.
When found the body was beginning to
decompose and the identity was discov-
cred by the apparel, which was recog-
n1zed by his family and relatives. But it
is by this apparel that the mystery sur
rounding Remmert's disappearance is in
creased. The shoes he wore on the day
on which he was last seen were almost
new, and the shoes were on the body
when found in the river and they show
no signs of wear. Nor did the other arti-
cles of his apparel show any increased
wear. The body had been in the water
not over ten days. Taking these facts
into consideration, the unworn or unused
condition of the mans apparel and the
time that the body is said to have been in
the water in connection with the time
which has passed since his disappearance,
brings about the question, ..Where has
George Remmert been in the interim be-
tween his disappearance January lst and
the placing of his body in the river ~
