 press Car, but the Passengers Lose

 One Is Killed.

 The switch was thrown anl the train run into a sidetrack, on which were sev- eral box cars. An attempt was made to enter the express car, but it was unsuc- cessful. The robbers, finding themselves foiled in this, commenced robbing the passengers, who, up to this time. had been guarded by men in the door of each car. Two hundred and sixty dol lars in money and eight gold watches were secured The robbers then with drew. One of the train crew claims to have recognized Bill Cook is one of the bandits.
 The fact that more money was not se- cured WIS owing to the passengers hid- ing many of their valuables while the robbers were endeayoring to get into the express car.
 The scene of the holdup is in the midst of ih9 Cook rendezvous, all that country being particularly suited to the purposes Of lawiess bands.
 Officers are new gathering to attempt to follow the ban1its, but it is believed it will be anosie. fruitless chase.
 There is but little doubt but that it is the same gang that has been perpetrat- ing robberies all over the Territory.

GOULDS MUST ANS YER,

Not Relieved from Assessment on Their
 Personal Property.
 New York, Nov. 19.-By decision of Judge Lawrence to-day the Gould chil- dren were not relieved from assess ment upon their personal property in this state and upon that of their fa- ther's estate, but the judge granted an order requiring the tax commissioners to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt for having fail ed to make returns to the writs of cer- tiorari which the Gould heirs obtained several months ago for review of the assessments upon their personal prop erty. The court decides that If the 'Goulds have any just cause of grievance because of delay on the part of the tax commissioners in fnterposing their re- turns their only relief is by proceedings to punish them for contempt of court.
 In conclusion Judge Lawrence decides that he can discover no reason why the order to make the respondents show cause should not be issued.
 Jay Gould's personal estate was as- sessed at $10.0O0, ,00O in 1893, and George J. Gould's at $40O, ,0O0, although he was a resident of Lakewood, N. J.
 The Goulds then decided not to make this city their hame. It was claimed that neither the estate nor the chill dren were residents of the county, and that they were not liable to taxation.

 Late at night the family retired, leaving Thomas in rocking chair. At o'clock this morning his sister Mary was awakened by an agonizing scream rom her mother. When she emerged rom her bedroom she found her mother lying on the floor, while Thomas stood above her brandishing an axe. The noor was covered with blood and from an adjoining room her ether brother, James, could be heard moaning in the agony of death
 The girl ran through the house and finding all doors locked, opened win dow and jumped tothe ground. She re- mained under the window and as her maniac brother made no attempt to follow her she stood and watched him at his murderous work. The murderer seized can Of coal oil and after pour ing it over the floor and furniture set it on fire. He then drew a butcher knife across his throat and fell by the side of his dead mother.
 The girl attempted to extinguish the flames, but they spread so quickly that in less than ten minutes the house was like furnace The screams of the girl awakened the neighbors and they rushed to the scene, but the flames had finished the work which the maniac had commenced. When the blazing wood had cooled sufficiently to allow search of the ruined house four bodies were found, blackened and charred. They were those Of Mrs. Por- tercheck. her youngest daughter and her sons, James and Thomas.
 Investigation showed that the mother, daughter and son James had been horribly mutilated with an axe. It is believed Thomas had first killed his brother, then his sister and mother.

 Instead of obeying he pulled out the throttle. As the train sped out on the main track it passed a party of six men, all armed, who opened fire with their revolvers. They stood on the left side of the track. and therefore their bullets went nearest Fireman Cole, whose right arm was fractured by one.
 The train did not stop until 1t reached Rolling Fork, where Sheriff Wright learned of the fact and sent men In pur- suit.
 Panther Burn contains only the depot and one general store. Early Saturday night half dozen men, seemingly far mers, who drank heavily and were very boisterous, invaded these two places. They quit the town before 1 o'clock and were not heard of again until the at tempt to stop the train. The red light with which they signalled was detached from the switchblock. There is no sus- picion of the identity of the men. ex- cept that it is believed that they are new at the business.
