YOUNG BOY BANDIT
A box ASSISTS IN AN ARIZONA
TRAIN ROBBERY.
He Is Showed Through the Door of
h Express Car and Brings Out

Is and Captured.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 3.-At 1920 a.
IN. II east-bound Southern Pacific
train was held up one mile and a half
east or Maricopa by two men and a
boy. One of the robbers rode on the
blind baggage out of Maricopa, while
the other two tagged the train. AS it
Stacked up the fellow aboard passed
quickly into the engine, and at the
point of two revolverS, forced Engi-
neer Holiday and Fireman Martin to
descend. He also captured the head
brakeman and compelled him to turn
on the air brakes and stop the train.
The other two bandit covered the en-
gineer, who, with the brakeman, was
compelled to so back to the express
car and induce the messenger to open
the door. The boy was then showed
into the car While he was searching
for express treasures the two bandits
guarded the side of the train. When
the boy came from the train the train
men, who were Under the bandits
gun were compelled to march with the
bandits a short distance into the
bushes. There the robbers released
their, prisoners and mounting their
horses, rode away. The amount which
the Welis-Fargo messenger reports as
having been captured is S1UO, but
there is q current report that the rob-
bers got away with $4,000 in gold. A
posse, led by the sheriff, found the
trail OF the robbers at IL point where
they crossed the ella river, seven
miles east of Phoenix. Soon after
ward they came upon n camp which
the robbers had hastily abandoned.
There they found three Winchesters
and three horses. Not long after this
they o]verhauled one of the bandits
whom they called upon TO throw up
his hands. Instead of doing so he
turned upon the officers and fred, but
a charge of buci5hot from the sherifs
gun brought him to the ground. The
prisoner, whose name is Frank Ar
mour, was brought here, and 1T Is be-
lieved he will recover. On Armours

SENATOR VEST.
The Missouri senator Opens the
Campaign In western Missouri.


Kansas City, Oct. 3.-Senator Vest
opened the campaign in Western Mis-
souri, last night. He said In part:
"If any one is here with the expecta-
ton that / will attack the president OF
the United States. or any other Demo
crat, that expectation will not be real
tied. Whatever difference of opinion
as TO public questions may exist be-
tween the president and myself, they
shall not interfere, as far as am con-
cerned, with my duty in the hour of
conflict and danger. My contest LIS
now with the enemy-not with Demo
Gratis. No word from me shall furnish
an excuse for a lukewarmness or hest
tation by any Democrat, nor give en-
enlargement to our enemies. The
Democratic party in 1892 pledged
itself to certain reforms. First, the
repeal of the federal election law,
which authorized the use of United
States marshals and soldiers at the
polls; second, the repeal Of the Sher-
man act; third, the reduction of the
tariff taxation to u revenue basis;
fourth, the ~lessening Of government ex-
penses. Gov. Mckinley in mis- recent
speech at Bangor, Me-, made the state
ment that not a single pledge of the
Democratic party had been redeemed.
When we reflect that this speech was
carefully prepared and made as a bid
for the presidency, contains no allusion
to his views on the two great issues
Of silver coinage and the income tax,
it is not surprising that he should add
L. IAAD.r
cratic party has, in fact, repealed both
the federal election law and the Sher-
man act, while the oppressive proyis-
ions Of the Mckinley tariff have either
been entirely eliminated OF greatly
modified and governmental expenses
largely decreased"
Senator Vest favored free coinage OF
silver.

Russian Barley Completes with the Amer

That the barley question is becoming

and the duty Of 80 per cent. ad valorem Is
based on a valuation of 80 cents per

The market price of American barley IN

Fired Butt End First.

In the effort to show how the Demo
cratic party has been hurt by the recent
tariff legislation, no paper has made a
more forcible or a truer statement than
the New York World in it's editorial col
umns. This, distinguished Democratic
journal says:
president Cleveland's letter would
have been very much strengthened if he
had named the trust whose 'machina-
tons and whose exhibition of power
filed him with 'astonishment.'
1T was the sugar trust which did
this. Why did not the President say so?
ut is the sugar ring that has raised the
issue which he dehnes-whether it shall
submit to the free legislative will Of the
peoples representatives, or shall dictate
the laws which the people must obey
at would have vastly strengthened

named the combination and reminded
the people that it's Vaccinations have re-
suited in imposing upon them a
commonest necessary of life, nearly $780,
000,00 of which goes directly into the
sugar trusts treasury.
''The Presidents proclamation has force
but lacks point. 1t is like an aromr pierre
ing shell fred butt end first"
In commenting upon the Worlds edi-
torial, the New York Press says: THE
above is as true as it is disgraceful. Not
only was ii the sugar trust which dictat-
ed the Democratic tariff bill with it's enor-
nous levy of $4,000, DOC a year on the
commonest necessary of life, but il was
President Cleveland's secretary of the
treasury who, in accordance with the
wishes of his master, dictated to the
finance committee of the Senate the

sugar trust from the pockets of the Ameri-
can people. When the Senate bill came

with great interest:
