COL. FRANK CONE.
He Is Mentioned as II senatorial
Possibility.

lie Is Mentioned aS II Senatorial
Possibility.
An Ashcville correspondent Of the
Washington Post mentioned Col. Frank
Coke as one of the possibilities in the
selection Of United States Senator. The
correspondent says;
"Col. Coke is one OF the ablest and
most popular men in the State. and he is
regarded as excellent Senatorial timber.
His only weakness appears to be that he
is not a practical politician. He has
been repeatedly urged to run for Con
gress from the AshcvilIe district, but he
is a successful business man, who has
amassed large fortune in railroads,
coal mines, and land in various parts OF
the State. He may be pressed into the
contest as dark horse in case Of dead
lock. He is one of the most enterprsng
and aggressive men in the South today,
and he was largely instrumental in
building the Western North Carolina
railroad, which opened up Ashcville and
the splendid agricultural and mineral
districts OF the State. At present Col.
Coke is interested in improving the iacil-
tiles in the South for Northern travel
and investment

Ashcvillc Invited to send delegates to
the Meeting ut New Orleans.
Mavor Patton has received a letter OF
invitation to the special meeting OF the
South and West Trade Congress, to he
held in New Orleans November 2l-23.
The letter says:
"The commercial bodies in the West
and South have reached the conclusion
that the rapidly growing population in
these states demand now that their pro-
duclions and manufactures shall be
marketed on the best terms possible and
at the lowest terms OF transportation,
thus giving to the producer and manu-
facturer the highest price for his products 5;
also that the import goods required by
the South and West shall be delivered to
them at minimum cost
In this connection the Mayor adds
Approaching the great Importance OF
the meeting, hope our business men
will see that suitable delegation attend
it. | will gladly appoint any one who
will 90, and ii desired will accompany
the delegation mySsl!, | commend the
subject to our Commercial club"

WAGNER, |. T., Oct. 22.-The Kansas
City and Memphis express which left
here at $50 O'Clock Sunday night was
wrecked and robbed by the Cook gang
of desperadoes at Correta, blind siding
five miles south OF here.
AS soon as the train stopped two rob-
bers commanded the engineer and fireman
to come down, and marched them in
front of them to the baggage and ex-
press cars. Here they forced Express
Messenger Ford to open the doors by
pertorating the side of the car with bull
let's.
Meanwhile two more of the robbers
had taken up position at the rear end
of the sleeper to prevent anyone from es-
Gaping, two Others mounted the plat
form between the first and second
coaches. all keeping up a continual firing.
The robbers in the express car were
meanwhile ransacking the express car,
securing all the money in the local safe.
The two men on the front platform
then started through the coach, de-
mdnding money and valuables. AS soon
as they reached the rear end Of the coach
the two men on that platform started
through the second coach. When they
were on their way through freight
train following close behind whistled
and Bill Cook, the leader, who had all
the time remained outside issuing COM
mands. swearing.a the passengers and
shooting, called for the hands to come
| ont.
The men in the cars jumped out and
when they all were on the ground fired a
last yollcy at the train and disappeared
in the darkness.
The engine cab was shot all to pieces,
even the steam gauge and the gauge
lamp being shot away and the ground
around the wreck covered with empty
shells. 1t is miracle that many lives
were not lost as fully 200 shots were
fired. Several passengers were injured.

THROUGH PULLMAN SLEEPING
CARS TO NEW ORLEANS VIA
THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND.

Recognizing the demand for better
train service to Texas, New Orleans
and the Southeast, The GREAT Rock
ISLAND ROUTE is now running daily
from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, through Pullman Sleeper to
New Orleans via Ft Worth and Texas
& Pacific Ry. This desirable depart
ure will serve to give passengers
bound for New Orleans and interme-
diate points all advantages derived
from the removal of the disagreeable
features of changing cars, and by
quick connection at Ft- Worth obyia-
ting tedious waits at junction points.
The cars are the latest pattern, are
lighted by the Pintsch gas system,
and combine all the luxurious essen
tial features necessary to the travel
ers comfort. Leave Denver $40 p.
M, Pueblo 6:55 p. m, Colorado
Springs SIS p. M, arriving at New
Orleans at $50 a m on third morn
ing, two hours quicker than by any
other route. This through service
should be popular as it is only two
days out and makes good connections
at New Orleans for all Southeast, Gulf
and Atlantic points. Berths may be
reserved in advance and full particu-
lars will be cheerfully given by
