ATTEMPTED WRECK.
Rail Loosened on the Owyhee
Bridge on the Short Line.
ROBBERY THE SUPPOSED CAUSE
The Bridge Il - Feet High and II the
Train Had Gone On There Would
Have Been q bad Wreck.


attempt was made today to wreck the
west-bound Short Line express at
Owyhee bridge, 20 miles east Of Nam
pa, the object being. 1t is supposed, to
RIB the train. The section foreman,
passing along, found the fishplates re-
moved from rail OH the Owyhee
bridge and the rail loosened. He
called up his men and set to work TO
fasten the rail- down. He then noticed
man on horseback near by with .
rife over his shoulder. The man was
mounted on fine bay horse and his
actions were suspicious. The foreman
became alarmed, and as the train was
already within hearing he. concluded
to flag it and have an examination OF
the bridge made.
Superintendent Morris was aboard.
He went forward with the foreman to
the bridge. AS they went up the track
they saw another man on q knoll, at
some distance, making signals, appar-
emily 10 someone in hiding. Morris
left an armed man with the foreman
and came on into Boise. Afterward.
when the section men had fixed the
rail &c curely and had started bick 10
the station, the horseman appeared
again aad deliberately fired two shots
at the party. Superintendent Morris
swore out warrants for the man, and
Deputy United States Marshal RUDE
Robbins with posse of five men has
gone in search of him.
The Owyhee bridge is As feet high,
and II the train had gone off there
would have been terrible wreck. 1t
is not known that there was any I'm.
usual treasure shipment on board. 1t
is thought the intention may have
been to catch the east-bound train in
the afternoon, which, it is said. carried
a large shipment of bullion from the
mines at De Lamar and Silver City.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese
feet, according to Times dispatch, Is
now collected at Wei Hal Wei, and in
perfect fighting trim. The Chin Yuen
has been repaired aud is recruiting sea-
men freely. An excellent, esprit de
corps exists among the Chinese sailors.
and they are awaiting orders to enable
them to assert the supremacy of China
in Corean waters. Continuing. the
Times correspondent cables that both
the Chinese and Japanese armies In
Corea are seemingly inactive. The
japanese ordered the Coreans to cut
their hair as token of subsection. The
Coreans refused 10 do SO. preferring to
fight for liberty.
A dispatch from Shanghai tod"y says
food and ammunition are said to be
spelling all along the route south ward.
As o result food is becoming very
scarce in the Chinese army. Accord
ing 10 the same dispatch, a pretense OF
Chinese naval activity is Absurd. The
Japanese. are said to be maintaining
such o strict blockade of the Corean
coast that not even the smallest vessel
can get through.
Hundreds Of Chinese soldiers are re-
ported to have died from want aud ex.
posure and much sickness Is said to eX-
ist In the ranks. o. the other hand
the japanese are much better prepared
for active operations. They have sue
ceeded in keeping their lines of COM

their forces forward until they are now
threatening the Chinese flank. The
position of the latter, with winter rap.
idly advancing. threatens to become
untcnnble.

1.-The Republicans OF Dodge county

Every township and city was repre-
sented by its full quota of delegates
and enthusiasm ran high.
GA large majority of the delegates
were farmers, who had come to the
convention at an actual sacrifice. for
the abundant crops of the county are
now ripe for harvesting.

It is generally conceded that this will
be cut down to less than 1000 in the
fall election, and some of the more

came out for Mayor Koch for COVER

race their sentiments have been divid-

the delegates were instructed to sup
