-Four Men Touch the Express
Car for $4,000
NOT A SHOT WAS NECESSARY
The Texas Pacific Coal Company, of
Thurber, Has offered a Reward
for the Capture of the Gang.

GORDON, Tex, Oct. 19.-No. 3, west
bound passenger train on the Texas
Pacific due at Gordon at 1913 D. m..
was robbed by four men today a few
minutes before noon. three miles west
OF Gordon. The train being stopped
at such an unusual place, ]. w. Cooper
of Gordon sprang off the north side to
learn the cause of the detention. He
was greeted with gruff command TO
get back on the train. Believing it a
joke of an acquaintance he answered
with laugh, but Immediately the rob-
bers enforced their command by level
ing two long guns on him.
-Four men, unmasked, approached
the section gang and forced them to
obstruct the road and flag the train as
IL approached, and when the train was
stopped the bandits forced the express
messenger to open the door of his car.
They also forced the section men to 90
into the car with q sledge and try to
batter the combination off the express
safe, but their efforts TO open the safe
were unfruitful. The messenger way
safe was battered open and what money
there was in it was taken by the rob-
bers.
Only n Small Amount Missing.
The amount secured, il is estimated,
is between $500 and 5000. Tomorrow
being payday at Thurber for large
number of hands that work at the
mines, there was in the combination
safe $50, 900 consigned to the Pacific
Coal Company.
Suspicious characters have been seen
for the past month or so in that section
and the express company was pre-
pared for an attack, as they had on the
train one of their special com animation
safes to which no agent along the road
knows the ombination. The COM
pany had a man back in the coach who
knew the combination and who could
go forward at stations where he was
needed and open the safe.
The Robbers Escaped.
After the robbery was committed the
four robbers walked away toward the
mountains, going in q southerly direc-
ton. The Texas Pacific Coal Com
pany of Thurber has offered reward
for the capture of the robbers. There
we're no shots fired during the robbery,
and 1T is considered one of the boldest
train robberies recorded in the country
for long time, 1t is thought that the
robbers are from Indian territory and
are now on their way back there.

NAVY COAL BILLS INCREASING.
The Modern War Vessels Consume an
Enormous Amount of Coal.

The Modern War Vessels Consume an
Enormous Amount OF Coal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-According
TO Commodore Chadwick chief of the
bureau of naval equipment, coal bills
of the navy are steadily increasing,
owing to the greater consumption of
coal by the modern war vessels. The
annual report of the bureau shows
that there will be q deficiency of $780,
600 in the appropriation for equipment,
owing to the fact that $l9l, 291 more
was expended for coal in the past year
than in the year previous.
The report shows that during the
year great improvement has been
made in night signals. The new boat
compass has been adopted, and alum
mum has been successfully substituted
for bronze in pinnacle fittings. Under
the head of naval observatory, atten-
ton is called to the feet that unless the
corps Of professors Of mathematics Is
reorganized, the observatory will in
the near future have but ore astron-
omer available for duty, the others re-
firing in the course of few years.
POstofice Museum Opens Today.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The post
office museum will be formally thrown

model of this postoffice on wheels. The

NEW INDICTMENTS OF pRBs.
The Government Determined Not to
Let Guilty Parties Escape.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. - The federal
grand jury today returned an omnibus
indictment against Debs and other of
ficers of the A. r. u and large num-
Der of parties charged with participa-
Lion IN obstTuciing the mails on differ
ent roads last Summer. In all Sc per-
sons are included in the blanket in
dictment.
The grand jury last summer brought
in large number of indictments, one
for each road, in which Deus and other
officers of the A. r. U. were charged
with conspiring with persons on
various roads who committed acts of
violence. IL was feared if conviction
was not secured on one of these in-
dictments the government might be
barred from trying the officers on the
others, Tor the reason that the con-
spiracy is practically the same and the
officers are defendants in all cases. In
order to avoid any danger on that score
the omnibus affair, on which all the
officers and strikers moy be tried at
once, was returned today.

band of six or seven Apaches, who
were lying in ambush.
A number of shots were fired at him,
one passing through his left lung and
breaking his shoulder blade. His pack
animal was killed. The attack was
presumably made to get his firearms,
ammunition and contents of the pack
saddle. Heller reached the nearest
ranch, five miles away, where he lies
probably In dying condition.

shaw, both of Philadelphia, who were
making q pleasure tour of Mexico.

mountains to the City of Mexico.
About 10 days ago they were passing
through the mountain gorge in the
vicinity of Los Colchos, about 80 miles
south Of here when the rain began to
pour down in torrents. Warren was
riding in advance of his companions,
when without warning terrible land
slide occurred. West and Greushaw
were caught and crushed to death and
Warren narrowly escaped.

Russia. Russia has enjoyed stability

PLEA FOR FALLEN WOMEN.
DIR. Parkhursts Voice Pleads Charit,
for the MagdaIenes.

DR.. ParkhursIs Voice Pleads Charity
for the MagdaIenes.
NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Dr. Parkhurst
today preached sermon which was
plea for fallen women. Parkhurst said
society has a way of calling sins for
which no warrant can be found in the
scriptures. There seems to be-" he
said, lone character of crime that if
one sex practices it, it is all right;
while if the other practices it ostra-
cism invariably follows. Men can do
as they choose Oh this score for women
for whom they have no respect, but
with women it is different. Society
says there are several objectionable
sins. They say it is a crime Tor
woman To transgrass the seventh com
mandment, but il is not so for men.
One of the great troubles when a
woman wishes TO lead different life is
she does not receive the help of her
sisters. There are a great many Mag
dalenes in New York. Probably thou
sands of them will go to heaven. They
are children of God, just as good 10 his
sight as you are, and you should do all
you can to help them. Some of you
gather your skirts about you to escape
from your fallen sisters, while they are
just as precious to God as you are"
