A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A Most Desperate ARRAY in West Vir-
cinia-Three Men Killed and One
Wounded In the Attempt TO Capture
the Mullen Brothers. Implicated In .
Murder-A Constable's Fatal Haste.
WHEELING, W. Va, Jan. IA teIe-
gram from Princeton, Mercer county,
tells of one of the bloodiest tragedies
and most desperate ARRAYS in the his
tory of this state, which occurred in a
remote part of that county, and re-
suited in the instant death of Sheriff
Timothy Hall and of two brothers
named Mullen, and the possibly fatal
wounding Deputy Sheriff Hall.
About six months ago man named
''Doc" Taylor was convicted in Vir-
ginia for murder, and confessed while
on the scaffold that two brothers
named Mullen had been his accom-
plices and were equally guilty. A re-
ward of 81, 200 was offered for the Null
lens, who fled, and although officers
searched everywhere for them, they
could not be found.
Recently Norfolk & Western Rail-
road Detective w. s. Bevens, of Co
1umbus, o., located the outlaws in
Mercer and planned their capture, and,
hearing of this, Sheriff Hall and Dep
uty Hall determined to get in ahead of
Bevens. The Halls located the Null
lens in a cabin in the mountains and
made a rush for it, thinking to take
the inmates by surprise. In this they
We're mistaken. for as they entered the
door the Mullens fired upon them, and
Sheriff Hall fell dead, while the dep
uty received bullet in the head and
was rendered unconscious.
Recovering, the deputy shot one of
the Mullens dead, and as he fired on
the other he was shot at in return and
his jaw broken. When Bevens and his
party reached the cabin an hour later,
they found the three men dead and
Deputy Hall writhing in agony on the
floor. After his wounds had been
dressed Hall told the story of the af
fray.

st. Joseph Officers Believe That Prentice
Tiller Led tho Gang.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 19.-Local Off
GERS believe they are on the trail of the
man who led the gang of robbers who
held up the Kansas City, ST. Joseph &
Council Bluffs train and looted the ex-
press car at Roy's branch, 2 miles
north of this city this morning. 1t is
claimed that the five men who plum
dered the ELI" train Wednesday of
last week have never left this city, and
that four of them have been spotted.
They have not been arrested because,
as long as they are free, there is a
chance of turning up the fifth man, who
it is believed led the band in both rob-
berries.
The police feel positive that this
man is Prentice 1'iller, the man who
ten years ago robbed the United States
Express Co. at ST. Louis of $50, 900 and
was captured with portion of his
plumber and sent to states prison.
1t is known that Tiller was in st.
Joseph ten days ago, but has man.
aged to elude the detectives. He has a
record as daring criminal, and al
though, SO far as known, he has never
before been suspected of implication
in train robbing, he would not hest
tate to undertake a job if he believed
it would result proftably. The men
now being Swallowed by the police are
residents of this city.
Nothing has transpired as yet to in
dictate how much money the robbers
secured, and the express officials are
not at all anxious to give out any in
formation on that point.

chief topic of conversation on the

tary of the treasury ought to popular
ize the issue by placing a. ,east one
third of the bonds in London. The
operators argue that as England has
supported American railroad securi-
ties, many of which have turned out
badly, it would be right for Mr.. Car

The picturesque prairie schooner"
is yet an important means of transpor-
tation, despite the network Of railroads
that has overspread the country in re-
cent years. During the past few weeks,
some of the main roads and trials
through the central counties of Texas
have been dotted over with the big
canvas-covered wagons, strung out in
from three to dozen in a fleet, with
horses trotting beside and behind, and
with all the interesting attendant
features familiar in the pioneer days.
The travellers are farmers bound to the
coast counties from northern Texas,
the emigration from which region is
attaining the dimensions of an exodus.
Years of drought, short crops, and
small prices are the cause, and so
anxious are the farmers ts get away
that they have been almost giving
their property there away, many leav-
ing their lands unsold and untenanted.
Twenty families passed through Sealy
recently, and eight through Belle
Vile in one day not long ago,
bound for the coast counties. The lat
ter party comprised forty persons, and
were travelling in a fleet OF twelve
schooners.-N. Y. Sun
