The consideration is $500, 900. The deal

Booty Taken in the Train Rob-
berry at Aqua Creek, Va,
Recovered.
SUSPECT SEARCEY C0NFESSES.
Officers Taken to the Hiding
Place and the "Plant'
Dug Up.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-The relentless
search which the officials of the Adams
Express company have prosecuted to
app1ehend the criminals who held up
a train at Aqua Creek, Va, Oh the
18th inst, and to recover the stolen
property has been awarded by the find
ing of the pouch in which the robbers
had placed most Of their booty. The
pouch was secured through the aid of
c. J. Searcey, one of the robbers, who
was arrested at Cumberland, Md. This
fact proves conclusively what the ex-
press company has maintained-that
Searcey was one of the men concerned
and the relationship which has been
shown to exist between Searcey and
Morganfield now held in Cincinnati,
Establishes Beyond Doubt
that Morganfeld was his pal and it is
now known that the latter was the man
with the shrill voice who entered the
express car and held up Messengers
Crutchfleld and Murray.
The details of the recovery Of the
pouch, or how much money it con.
tanned are not known here except that
the sack was hidden in the woods of
Virginia near Calverton and that there
were present Prosecutor White, w. H.
Burlington, sergeant of police Of Fred
ericksburg; Sheriff Huh Adie and
Robert A. Pinkertou when it was Sc.
cured. It can also be stated that not
more than four men and probably only
three were concerned in the holdup.
Two are now under arrest and the
third, it is confidently expected, will be
Caught Within q Short Time.
Searcey, who led the authorities to the
cached booty, made a partial confession,
all the statements of which have been
corroborated, and this has very mater
tally aided the company in their
search.
Morganfeld's condition will neces.
sarily have to be considered in regard
to when he will be taken from Cincin-
natl to Stafford Court House, Va,
where the trial will occur. The max
imum penalty for train robbery in Vir-
ginia is death and the minimum 90
years confinement at hard labor.

War Department Asked to
Send Troops to Quell the
Trouble.

LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 24.-Last nights
programme in the great carnival of
crime which is now holding the boards
in the 1ndiap Territory, consisted of the
wholesale robbery Of several small
towns in genuine desperate style by
Bill Cook, supported by strong COM
pany of eight or ten followers. -Four
men rode into the town of Watovia
early in the evening, heralding their
approach by promiscuous discharge
of firearms. The bandits terrorized
the inhabitants and most of them
sought safety in their homes behind
barricaded doors. The outlaws visited
every store in the village and ran the
merchants away
With Winchesters and Revolver.
They took from the stol IS all the money
they could find and everything else
they wanted. The Watovia postoffice
was robbed of about $50 in cash and $50
in stamps.
From Watovia the gang rode on to
Tala, 10 miles away, where they re-
peated their depredatlOns. They rode
into town and proceeded at once to rob
stores. Every store in the place was
visited and the proprietors compelled at
the point of revolvers and Winchesters
to turn over their cash. The postoffce
was also robbed of stamps and small
amount Of money. The bandits entered
the town boldly and made no effort to
conceal their identity. From reports
of their description they were
Undoubtedly the Same Gang
that held up the Missouri Pacific train
at Coreta Siding Saturday night. 1t is
believed that it was the bandits inten-
ton to rob the Missouri Pacific passen-
ger train No. 231 at Tala. While they
were holding up the postofice the train
pulled into the station. The train men
were notified of the presence of the
gang and the train was started at once.
Tala is near Claymore and about 40
miles west Of Coreta. The bandits did
not tarry long after the train pulled
out. They galloped out Of town dis
charging their Winchesters.

pie.
Agent Window wired the Indian Of
flee asking authority to incur the nee
essary travelling expenses of the In
dian police in assisting United States
marshals who were hunting down the
thieves and making arrests. Such
authority was granted.
These communications reached Act
ing Secretary Doe at the war depart
ment, and, after reading them care
fully, he referred them to General
Schofeld, commanding the army.
General Schofield looked into the mat
ter and then returned the papers to
the acting secretary with a suggestion
that the request for the aid of troops be
maturely considered, with a view to
ascertaining the legality of the pro-
posed action.
