LANG OR SAMPSON
A Grim Mystery of the
Dead.
WHO WAS THIS WOMAN :?
Buried Without Mourners by
the Coroner.
THEN TWO MEN CLAIMED HER.
One Described Her, but Not Her
Property - The Other Did
Exactly the Reverse.

CHICAGO, Aug 3.-Two husbands claim
ing the body of a dead wife, one identity
ing the remains by photograph and the
other seeking to establish his claim by
describing every article found in her bag
gage, Is the dilemma which now confronts
Coroner McHale of this city. On April II
a woman who arrived in Chicago over the
Santa Fe Railroad went direct to a chear
hotel. Five minutes after reaching the
hotel she fell dead. In her possession
was found letter signed Mrs. Lang, from
San Francisco to Philadelphia. On her
trunk was found the ame "B. Sampson.
Coroner McHale endeavored TO find the
woman's relatives in Philadelphia, but
falling caused the body 10 be uttered in
Waldheim Cemetery.
Soon after the burial Leon Lang Of
1869 Aspen street. Philadelphia, came to
Chicago and declared that he thought the
woman was his wife, who had been for two
years in California for her health. MI
Lang had a picture of his wife which
strongly resem bled the dead woman, but
when it came to describing her baggage
he could not tell the appearance of
single article in the Coroner's possession
clined to surrender.
Recently one b. Sampson of Tucson,
AriZ., a well-known and wealthy resident
of the Territory, wrote McHale that the
woman was his wife, and that they had
been married ten year. He said she had
started from San Francisco in april for
the East and was to take voyage to Cal
cutta, India. She had written him last ON
April 13. saying she had met lady on the
cars and they were to travel together to
the sea board. When he did not hear again
Mr.. Sampson grew worried and began an
investigation. He learned of the death of
the woman in Chicago and concluded she
had been his wife. BE prepared to recover
his wlfe's property.
Coroner McHale was relieved when the
WesteYner iden tilted the trunk and its con-
tents, even 10 a bottle of tooth powder
He mentioned note paper In the trunk. II
was there, prin ted in his name and with
the insignia of the Grand Army of the
Republic upon it. Mr. Sampson used the
paper as commander of the Union Veter-
ans Association of Arizona. ltwas found
Just where be described. To clinch his
claim he sent photograph of Mrs. Samp.
son and notified the Coroner TO send the
remains to Tucson.
The picture has no resemblance to those
of the dead woman. No one could con-
slider them for an instant as likenesses of
the same individual. The Coroner was in
Quandary. If the deceased was Mrs.
Lang how came she with the prorerty of
Mrs Sampson? II she as Mrs. Sampson
why did she not resemble her own photo
graph? How came she with ticket
bearing the signature of Lang? Or being
either of the two women what has become
of the other? These problems Mr.. Nc
Hale is wrestling with, nor has he yet
mastered them. Meanwhile both claimants
are increasing their endsavors to secure
the remains and the property.

ESCAPED THE PERILS.
Daring Attempts to Rob and
Wreck a Train.
After One Robber Was Routed by
the Messenger Dynamite Was
Placed on the Track.

ST LOUIS, Aug 3.-An unsuccessful at
tempt was made last night to hold up
train on the St. louis and San francisco
road. The train left the Union Depot at
st. Louis at 500 P NJ in charge of Con-
ductor Mansfield. About $3.50. jnst before
the train reached Eureka. thirty miles
from the city, Wells-Fargo Express Mes
senger Ferguson started to go from the car
In which he was at work to the one inme-
diately in the rear, when he was confron ted
at the door by masked man with
drawn revolver. who ordered him to throw
up his hands. Ferguson drew his revolver
and commenced shooting. The robber re-
turned the fire and sent one bullet through
the messengers shoulder and another
through his hand. He then jumped from
the train and escaped. He is undoubtedly
wounded. He made no effort TO secure any
of the money In the car He was prob
ably scared off by the brave resistance of
tie express messenger. The injured man
was taken to Pacific, six miles west of
Eureka, where his wounds were dressed
and his car transferred to another man.
The remarkable feature of the affair
was an attempt to wreck the train and the
escape of the entire train and 1S8 passen-
gers from absolute destruction. Despera-
does. undoubtedly accompices OF the
fellow with whom Express Messenger Fer
guson had a fight, forced open car of
dynamite on the side track below Eureka
and stole two big dynamite cartridges in
tended for heavy blasting. Each cartridge
was capable of tearing to pieces tons OF
solid rock. They were placed by the das-
tardly bandits on the rails, the intention
being TO destroy the train and plunder the
richly laden express-car and probably the
passengers. When the forward wheels
of the engine rolled on the cartridges
there was a terrific explosion which
wrecked the engine. The entire train
was severely shaken, windows broken and
a packag of letters thrown from the boxes
in the maiIcar. The explosion tore great
hols in the earth, broke the rails from
their fastenings and flung the ties in every
direction. 1t tore open one side OF the
dynamite ear and exposed to view tons of
the powerful explosive, yet for some un-
accountable reason this great mass. with
energy enough to blow the city OF the face
of the earth, did not explode.

says Baron NordenskjOld's opinion deserves

get safely out of their rash adventure.
Doubtless Mr.. Wellman's countrymen will
not delay in taking steps to prevent the
