ROBBERS CONFESSION.
Yeays Afterward tho Dying Bandit ysid
of His Crime.


"Talking about train robbers, hap.
pened to be aboard the second train
ever held up by robbers east of the
Mississippi" said Frank w. Hastings
of Terre Haute. There had been
several trains held up and express
messengers and passengers plundered
In the far West just at the close of
the war, but it was the work of guer-
rillas who had not settled down and
renewed the avocations of peace.
The Reno's had robbed train at Sey-
nour, Ind, but the episode at Long
Pond, on the Vandalia railroad, about
thirty miles west of Terre Haute, was
most sensational. 1t is to it that
refer. Three men hGd gone to Indian
apolis, and had steel breast plates and
masks made which would have turned
mimic ball. At Long Pond they
uncoupled the express car from the
train, jumped onto the engine and
ordered the engineer to pull out. He
hesitated and they shot him dead.
The fireman jumped off.
"The robbers then ran the train
Two miles away to point where they
bad wagon and confederates wait
ing. There were Ave of them in the
Job. They called upon the messen-
ger to open his car. He refused. They
fred over fifty shots into his car, and
he replied with a Winchester. The
robbers then set fire to the car, but
before the blaze had made much
Roadway they were scared away by
the advance OF posse of the passen-
gers, headed by the conductor. Sew
eral people were arrested in the great
man-hunt, participated in by 1000 men,
which followed. but were on trial &C
quilted Rewards were offered ag-
gregating $40 Years afterward
dying man named Shoemaker told how
the job had been planned in Terre
Haute, and how the robbers, when re-
pulsed made q detour and got back to
the train which they had held up and
returned to Terre Haute unnoticed by
the excited passengers"

from the letter:

Office, and i will. You NAV think

every year, II necessary, until you get
so sick and tired of going to congress
that you will get down on your knees

him with tears in your eyes for the
Lords sake to let up. You, sir, have
put me in position to be able to do
this thing, and you must be the one

In the United Statss court yesterday
morning IN the case Of the Ksweenaw
Association, Limited, vs.. Patrick J.
Hartford and others. Judge Ssverens
heard an application for . temporary in
junction to restrain trespass on the Ship
Canal grant lands. The defendants claim
was that certain lands Of the Ship Canal
grant had been designated IS mineral by
proclamation Of the president and right
to them did not pass BY the grant. This
was practically the only claim made by
the defense and In commenting Judge
Ssverens said 10 substance: IF on pre-
sentation to the court OF q copy Of the
presidents proclamation referred to 1t
shows such a designation as to take the
lands out Of character OF those graft
ed to aid the Ship Canal company, no
temporary Injunction will ISSUE" Should
this prove the case the settlers will be
permitted to proceed with their claims.
The question at issue concerns about
$4,000 acres Of the most desirable land In
the Upper Peninsula. A glance at the
map In the land Office will show these
lands we'll situated and a description OF
them convince that they would make
magnificent farms. II the defense Is
correct In its claim and can produce a
copy Of the proclama tion-and the attor-
neys doubtless knew they could, and
were right, before taking the position
they did-the decision of the court will
give an opportunity for some successful
homesteading. Ball & Ball appeared for
complainants aud Culver & Halsey for
the homesteaders.- Journal.

Michigan Land & Iron Co. wins.

kilograms from Washington yesterday
brought news that the secretary had rem
dered decision favorable to theMichigap
Land & Iron Company in the case of
Amasa Daily VS.. The Michigan Land 4
Iron Co. The decision involves about
80, 900 acresof land about 1000 Of which
are owned by the company, and will affect
the property Of about 500 or 400 gen.
uine settlers.
The case was argued before the secre-
tary last November and was brought as
test case involving the title Of the Mich
igan Land & Iron Co. to a portion Of the
lands bought by it from the Marquette,
Houghton & Ontenagon railway COM
pany. The lands represent portions of
two grants aud 1t was claimed the rail-
way company forfeited its claim upon
the lands by failing to complete the pro-
posed road.
From the decision the secretary APP
pears to hold that In accordance with
the fourth section of the act Of March s.
1887, the Michigan Land & Iron Co. is
entitled to title In these lands, evidently
holding the company comes within the
provisions of the settlers and citizens in
good faith. 1t Is also seemingly held
that the railway company will be requir-
ed to pay to the government sl.25 an acre
for the Glands In question. The secretary
also seems to hold the lands were erron-
esusly certified to the railway company
in 1860 and were bought in good faith
from 1t by the Land & Iron Co.
The decision Of the secretary came as
big surprise to those pushing the case
for the settlers, ana motion to review
will doubtless be made within the 20 days
limit. This, IL done, will probably be on
the grounds that the lands we're properly
certified to the railway company In 1860;
that the M. l.. & l. Co. was not buyer
In good faith or citizen Of the United
States within the meaning Of the statue
cited.
II the decision holds good nearly four
hundred actual settlers and mprovers Of
the lands will lose what they now live on
aud believe to be their own properly

$500 REWARD
FOR ORE THIEVESl

The common experience of this
camp shows that much is lost by
the mine operators by the stealing
of gold in specimens, if not in
amalgam and bullion. Therefore
the "Oki Abe" Co. offers a stand
ing reward of Three Hundred Dol
lars for the arrest and conviction,
or for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of any person
guilty of stealing any of the prop
erty Of the Old Abe Co., even the
smallsst specimen of ore. The rule
of this company is to mill all spe-
cimens. Therefore none of the ore
from this mine can be honestly
held as specimens. And as the re-
ceiver, with guilty knowledge, is as
guilty in lew as the thief, this of.
fer applies to the holders of Old Abe
specimens.

THE NIGHT SHIFTS MISTAKE.

HE NIGHT SHIFTS MISTAKE.
I'll tell you of an incident
That happened me last fall
While living up in Baxter gulch
A-keeping bachelors hall.
We were working on the night shift
In the old North Homestake mine
A thousand feet benetth the ground
Where golden crystals shine.
And when the shift was finished,
IT half past three o'clock,
We'd hurry to our virtuous couch
And tuck q perfumed sock
About our beds to drive out bugs.
Secured thus from their harm
That we might sleep where they could
We inhaled chloroform. not
We kept our water barrels
Outside the cabin door;
This bit of indiscretion
Brought trouble deep and sore.
For McBeo's COWS would come and
The water when they could, [drink
Then we'd get up and drive them off
With stones and sticks of wood.
So once when was sleeping
Nor dreamed disturbance near,
Iwoke from fumes of sulphur
As | heard Frank Conger swear.
Our barrels were turned over,
The water on the ground,
And there those hungry cattle were
Awarding all around.
Ny wild, impulsive nature cried
For vengeance on their head
And swore that for their meanness
Their blood I'd surely shed.
Not waiting to put on my clothes,
ran them off, you know,
And followed them toward the town
A hundred yards or SO.

Until they turned around the hill
And hid Themselves from view.

With heat was ablaze;
When Holy Moze What sight was
Met my astonished gaze. Itha
My blood at once refused to flow,
My persplration froze
Until icicles from my brow
Reached to my very toes.
For there, between me and the house

A adys face fair as the day
Behind the trotter glowed.
Sad was the plight was in thenl
The bright autumual day
Poured down its light upon mo there
In most unkindly way.

To hide me from her sight.

At once in graceful fight.
But if took the public road

So thick the cacti grew

What it were best to do.
Don't talk TO me of martyrs;
The pious blood they she'd
Was not to be compared witt that
Which came upon my head.
'Twere better they should meet grim
Upon the guillotine ldeai
