CRIMSON With BLOOD
Hail Of Imaginary Bullets Causes
Many Imaginary Wounds.
BATTLE Of MARSHALL
Soldiers Postpone Tatget Practice
to Dig Potatoes.
S o NJ G A MP OTES

The second battle of Marshall Hall has
been fought. Again within three days the
green lawns, where in former days the noble
red man held pow-wows and smoked the pipe
of peace have been stained an imaginary
carmine hue with imaginary blood. Gal
liant soldiers have fearlessly waged war;
not for their countrys honor but for the
championship Of Camp Blake, and also
largely for the amusement of thousands Of
interested spectators.
The sham battle which took place yester-
day afternoon between the first and second
provisional battalions, comprising the pro-
visional regiment Of troops Of the District
of Columbia National Guard under COM
mand of Maj. Otto l.. Suess, now quartered
al Marshall Hall, was vast and wonder
full improvement over the exhibition given
on Tuesday evening, the result being due
no doubt to the experience CLEANED during
the first contest, and also during a rehearsal
held in the early morning hours yesterday.
Fully 6.OO0 persons surrounded the drill
field at $50 o'clock when "adjutants' call
sounded and the ten companies marched
into view to prove that they know a thing
or two about the ceremonies of dress parade
and saluting the colors. When parade was
dismissed preparations for the mighty strife
began. The first battalion, under Mai
Columbus, remained on the field at battalion
front, while Maj. Storys command march
ed to camp and donned white helmets in
place of fatigue caps. The spectators were
not kept long in waiting, however for soon
the sound of a bugle was heard in the dis
lance and Maj. Columbus sent out a num-

An Attempt to Hold Up n Train by a
Masked Man.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August 3.-An unsuccess-
ful attempt was made last night to hold up
train No. 3, on the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco road. The train left the union depot
In st. Louis at S:25 pm in charge of Con-
ductor Mansfield. About $50, just before
the train reached Eureka In st. Louis coun-
ty, thirty miles from the city, Wells Fargo
Express Messenger Ferguson started to
go from the car, in which he was at work
to the one Immediately in the rear, when
he was confronted at the door by a mask ell
man with a drawn revolver who ordered
him to throw up his hands. Ferguson drew
his revolver and commenced shooting The
robber returned the fire and sent one bullet
through the messengers shoulder, and
through his hand. He then jumped from the
Train and escaped. He Is undoubtedly
wounded. He made no attempt to secure
any Of the money in the car. He was prob
ably scared OFF by the bravery of the ex-
press messenger.
The injured man was taken to Pacific,
nve miles west of Eureka, where his wounds
were dressed, and his car transferred to
another man. 1t is believed that more than
one man was interested in the attempted
robbery. Just before reaching Eureka
bomb exploded under the wheels of the en-
CINE. This was the signal to stop, and at
this point the robbers confederates would
have boarded the train. But when the mes
senger started toward the rear car the
robber on the platform found 1t necessary
70 begin business at once, and the plans Of
the gang were frustrated.
The train, after proceeding a short dis
lance from the scene Of the shooting met
with another mishap. which Is regarded as
part OF prearranged plan TO wreck and
rob the train. Near Eureka station an
explosion took place In front Of the engine
supposed to have been caused by dynamite
The headlight was extingu.shed, the pilot
partly blown away. and other parts of the

election of delegates to the constitutional
convention. Seven -eighths of the property

the polls. The election for senator's and
representatives, which will be held soon,
Will be under the same registration, in
