POND CREEK. 0. T. Anril Il

POND CREEK. o. T.. April TO-
IN s the south bound train No. l on
I'm the Rock Island was approaching
Il\ the Arkansas river, four miles
Ii u south of here at II o'clock last
night. = masked robher boarded the
engine. which was running slowly as
usual in approaching the bridge at this
point, and levelling two revOlvers at
the engineers head, he commanded
him to stop the train. The engineer at
first made q show Of resistance. but
the threatening attitude of the robber
overcame any desire he might have
bad to guard the company's property.
AS soon IA the train stopped several
other masked robbers, the actual num-
ber is not known, made for the express
Car.
Jack Harmon, the Wells-Fargo ex-
press messenger. realizing that an at
tempted robbery was being perpetrsted.
quickly picked up his revolver and
stood at the car door ready to meet the
onslaught of the bandits When the
latter reached the car they and the
messenger commenced to parley as to
whether the door should be opened or
not, Harmon finally positively declined
to open up.
The robbers then placed stick Of
dynamite under the Car and an explo-
sion followed which tore open the
whole side of the car. After the explo-
sion one of the robbers approached the
car as soon as he was seen by Messen-
ger Harmon, the latter opened fire and
killed the robber instantly.
AS soon as the other bandits saw the
game was up they attempted to retreat,
but Harmon followed them, keeping up
a continuous fusilade, and succeeded in
wounding another of the gang. The
injured man fell in his tracks, but the
others managed TO get away. 1t is
| thought, however, that some of them
| have been seriously wounded. The
train men then picked up th. dead and
wounded robbers and, after placing
them aboard the train, returned TO
| Pond Creek.
| Neither of the men have been identi
fed Some OF the citizens believe them
to be members of the Dalton gang.
The sheriff was summoned at once
upon the arrival of the train, a posse
was quickly organized and the country
is being secured for the outlaws.
Express Messenger Harmon would
not say what sum Of money wSs on the
train. 1t is believed that the robbers
had information that the train carried
q large amount.

A Flood of Mysterious Letters -Argu'
ments on the Case Con-
tinued Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-There was
something OIL foot in the circuit court
this morning. of which the spectators
did not receive the benefit. Judge
Bradley held letter in his hand when
the court met. in which he seemed
deeply interested He called up to his
desk three Of the counsel, Msssrs Car.
lisle, Wilson and Butterworth, exhib-
tied the letter to them, and the four
put their heads together over the docu-
ment for ten minutes. Then one of
the jurors was called up, and the con-
sultation was prolonged for ten min
utes more. after which Mr.. Carlisle
took his stand by the witness box and
picked up the thread Of his argument.
1t is thought that the cause of the
conference was one of the anonymous
letters which have poured in by bushels
upon all the court officers and every
person Interested in the trial.
Hardly day passes but what Miss
Pollard is the recipient of off4rs from
theatrical managers. and even the dime
museums have an eye upon her. Most
of these communications are dispos ed
of by her lawyers and are navsr seen.
Another class OF correspondence is sug-
gestions from lawyers in all parts of
the country. Some of these suggest
ions have been utilized and have
proved Of value.
At the close of Mr.. Carlisles speech,
which was scathing arraignment of
Colonel Breckinridge. Colonel Thomp-
son started his argument TOR the de-
| fepse.
To give the case to Miss Pollard, he
said, would be necessary for the jury
to convict Molls Spinglebauer, John
Brant, Hiram Kaufman, Aleck Julian
and Rankin Rossell and the defendant
himself with wilful and deliberate
perjury.
The discrepancies between the testi-
mony of the plaintiff and the Sisters of
Charity at Norwood Founding asylum
were told of by Colonel Thompson who
said he would be willing to rest the
case on the testimony of these Sisters
against that of the woman who said
she had dedicated her life to the de-
fsndant.
Colonel Thompson embellished his
speech with numerous anecdotes and
did not mince words or phrases in his
uusavory denunciation of the plaintiff {

confederates come from out the woods on
the flank and appear to break our lines,
but New York battery in cloud Of dust
appears like whirlwind and with unlim-
bered pieces and bang bang, bang, drives
them back. There are cries of anger from
the opposing force, and the old Union cheer
from our lines like the roar of mighty
sea.
Up to the slope we went. the rebel
works We're scaled and the old flag waved
inside lt goes down in whirl of smoke
but is snatched from the hand of it's dying
bearer and lifted aloft again. Over the
rampant our force poured and the battle
was virtually won
That night the stars looked down on q
scene of suffering and no ror MS a rebel
she'll crashed through the tree tops cover
ing our wounded and dying. The bodies
OF men and horses lay almost piled about
our artillery pieces, and hordes Of animals
were moving about riderless and answer
ing unguided to an occasional bugle call.
After such q scene and such struggle
comes home to us that trite but true say
ing I'VE love that most for which we suf-
fer most" With us boys who fought for
the flag, we loved 1t when we FIRST saw it,
fought under it, hled under it, saw others
bleed under it and love it because we suf-
fered for it. 1t was lesson taught to us
boys, lesson taught to our fathers and
mothers who gave us over at our country's
altar, and will thank God, be perpetuated
in our children.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.
OF the many dark days some were Offset
by such humor and fun as WAS expert
enced in Sherman's march through Geor-
gia to the sea. Foraging was usually al
lotted to company of about thirty, which
was expected to obtain provisions for the
regiment. The party was usually mounted,
but in such an outlandish fashion as gave
big, raw boned horse to a short man or q
jack to long lean individual. Ten miles
on either side of the line Of march was for
aged. Often we would string up an old
darkey once or twice to make him reveal
the hiding place in the swamp of his mas
ters concealed provisions. After his con-
fession he would join US as Il contraband.
During Colonel B4xter's recital of
the famous march to the sea he told
numerous comical war stories, which
are all the more appreciated when told
by an old soldier to men who have
been there themselves.
Some Of the boys are getting old and
feeble and tottering We should treat
them kindly, cheer them and make light
of their faults. I've heard people say
some veterans don't deserve to be well
treated because they drink Do you
know what is gnawing at their hearts; An
unhealed wound, disease and many sleep
less nights should make you kind to him.
The unfortnnates are very largely of the
rank and file, who fought because they
loved their country and not for love OF
glory. Treat them with kindness for the
great deeds they strove to accomplish.
