Masked Men Held Up the Eastbound Texas
Passenger Near Fort Worth.
Fort WORTH, Tex. Dec. She
eastbound Texas passenger train was
held up at a trestle seven miles west of
here. The train was stopped just as
the engine and express q had crossed,
the passenger coaches coming to a
standstill ON the t~restle, where the pas
sengers had no opportunity of getting
out if they were 81 inclined, which
they were not, but only busted them
selves in concealing their v~aluables.
Several shots were fired from the front
end of the train and the passengers
were warned to keep their heads in the
windows. The train was detained 10
or 10 minutes, during which time those
who caught a glimpse of the proceed
ings on the other side OF the trestle

with guns levelled. marching the en-
gineer and trainmen in and out of the
baggage car. When they finished their
work the robbers made the engineer
back the train over the t~restle, and
while it was crossing they disappeared
In a thick forest. The passengers
kept SO close while the train was being
robbed that they did not know much
about what was. going on and the rail-
road men and express officials will not
make any statements. 1t is not known
how much booty was secured. The
robbers had possession Of the express

'ject. One fat package is known to
have been obtained. A train was held
up and robbed at this spot several years
ago by a gang under the leadership of
the notorious Joe Blunt.

In one respect the robbery was re-
markable and sets a precedent. The
iron safe of the messenger was thrown
from the car and carried OFF. The rob-
berry is of the most daring on rec
ord. 1t is learned from authoritative
sources that upwards Of 800, 900 was
secured. The train stopped at the
water tank, and one man boarded it
and covered the engineer and fireman
while the other two looted the express

DONE BY THE COOK GANG.
Such Is the Opinion of Those in Pur-
suit---The Rangers Are After
Them.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. 8.-The best
information obtainable warrants the
placing of the amount of booty secured
by the robbers at $40, 900. The officers
engaged in the pursuit are confident
the desperadoes are members of the
Cook gang, and that they are making
for the Indian Territory. A detach-
ment of rangers has started ont from
Quanta to cut off retreat in the direc-
ton mentioned.

to the efficiency OF these schools during
the two years for which appropriations
are to be made.
2. They ask the legislature TO appro-
pirate not more, but considerably less
than the appropriations of two years ago
for their support.
3. They purpose to turn back into
the treasury more than $4,000 OF the
appropriations OF two years ago.
Now hold these three points fast and
60 on with the discussion. All good men
favor rigid economy this year. The
board is made up of South Dakota tax
payers, none of whom happen to be rich.
They must, OF necessity, understand the
situation tolerably well. They all hold
enthusiastic faith in the value OF all the
educational institutions, to be sure, and
believe them to be worth tenfold their
cost to the state. They are sure that all
these state schools should be kept NOV
ing and improving, and this seems about
all the real difference there is between
them and those who think the schools of
SO little value that they ought to be
closed, or that their advantage is SO local
or individual in its character that they
ought to be wholly turned over to local
o. private support.
These schools all claim that they are
now doing better work than ever before.
