Detectives Unable to Trace the Burlington
Train Rohbers-What They Missed and
What They Got
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 12-So far
there is 40 clew to the identity of the
men who robbed the 'EG'' train east
of this city Wednesday night The po-
did the work, and that the rigs used by
them were individual property as none
of the livery stables here furnished any
to parties not known. The mail car
was not molested, as at first stated.
Postal Clerk Arthur Gage, of Atchison,
who was in charge, securely fastened
the doors of the car, got out his re-
volver and made ready to exchange a
few shots with the bandits, should they
attempt to get at the mail
Either they did not realize that there
were valuables in the car, or else they
had not the courage to touch Uncle
Sans property; at any rate they left
without attempting to enter the mail
car. They missed big swag by their
negligence, for in the car were two
registered pouches filed with valuable
pdChdScS.
Lying on the floor of the car between
the stove and the safe was registered
pouch containing all the money pack
ages transferred from the Charlton
branch of the Burlington at this point.
With commendable presence of mind
Wetzell, when he saw the robbers be-
gin to climb into his car, gave the
pouch a kick that sent it under the
stove and out of sight, where it re-
manned unmolested until the robbers
took their departure.
The robbers secured several small
money packages, which it is
claimed contained exactly s4S in
the aggregate. The registered
pouch that remained in hiding
underneath the stove during the
looting contained probably between
81, 900 and $1,000 in money. 1t was
consigned to the Commercial national
bank of Chicago. and was the only
package of any great value in posses
sion of the express messenger that
night.
Assistant General Agent Moseley, of
the Adams Express Co. has checked
up Messenger Wetzell's run and says
that as near as he can tell now the
amount of money taken by the robbers
was about 1000.

THE GOLD RESERVE.

The Secretary of the Treasury May Act
Under the Present Law Unless Congress
Furnishes Relief.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Some decisive
action to replenish the gold reserve in
the treasury must be taken within the
next few weeks If congress does not
rotary Carlisle in his annual report and
provide at once some means of relief,
the only course left the officials of the
treasury department will be for the
secretary to exercise the authority
granted him by the law of 1875 and
issue bonds for the purpose of maintain
ing the gold reserve.
The position which confronts the ad-
ministration is one which they have de-
cided to handle with promptness- All
the available money now in the treas
ury department consisted of what is
called gold reserve" which has now
been invaded $40, 900, 600 and by the
first of the month, the treasury depart
ment believes the total amount will
have been reduced to SOS, 900, 600. Such
a situation, it is thought, would again
start movement of gold toward
Europe which would still further re-
duce the amount of gold held by the
United States.
Secretary Carlisle has twice appeared
before the committee on finance, and
his presentation of the case to the
members of that c9mmittee has been
clear and explicit in the statement of
the situation. When he next appears
before the committee, which may be to-
day, it is probable he will emphasize
his argument by the presentation of a
carefully prepared statement on the
condition in which he finds the national
finances as well as the methods pro-
posed by him to afford relief.
Mr.. Carlisle proposes that congress
shall deal with this matter, but if the
legislature fails within three or fout
weeks to show any indications that it
intends to aid the secretary, it is
known he will be forced to avail him.
self of the authority granted him by
the act of 1875 and issue bonds neces
sary to replenish the gold reserve. i.
is because Mr.. Carlisle desires that CON
gress should first act that he has thu,
far made no preparation for an issue of
bonds, and all statements to the effec,
that orders have been given thu
bureau of engraving and printing TO,
plates are pure fabrications. Abso
lutely no action has been taken and
no plans decided upon.
This much can be officially stated.
The attitude of the New York banks,
as expressed in recent publications in
regard to the furnishing of gold for ex-
port. should such necessity arise has
possibly had some effect in strengthen
ing feeling that the government
should issue bonds to protect the gold
reserve 1t is denied, however, that an
agreement ever existed by which the
banks were to furnish gold.

"The Well OF serpents.-

There is a horseshoe-shaped mount
ain up in Manitoba which literally
swarms with snakes twice every year
In the early fall these slippery custom
ers gather here from all directions,
mostly from the prairie country to the
south. In one side of the mountain
there is circular hole, about fifteen
feet deep. and as smooth as if it had
been fashioned with a well auger,
where tens of thousands of reptiles
gather to spend the cold winter
months. Persons who have tried to
explore this immense snake den during
the summer, when the regular tenants
were absent, say that dozens of subter-
ranean passages lead out under the
mountains in all directions from the
bottom of the well. Capt. Silvers,
royal engineers, estimates that he has
seen as many as three hundred thou
sand snakes of all sizes knotted to-
gether and piled up in semi-torpid

The Work of Mob at Russell, Kan-Thrse
Wurderers Hanged.

Wurderers Hanged.
RUSSELL, Kan, Jan. ia terrible
exhibition of prairie justice was seen
here Saturday night when three men,
]. G. Burton, William Gay and his son,
John Gay, were lynehed by a deter
mined mob The men were held guilty
of the murder of Fred Dinniny last
July. Dinniny lived with 7. w. Burton
on farm eleven miles north, and July
Q he disappeared Burton had his team
and even wore some of his clothes. but
claimed that Dinniny had gone to Okla
homa with young Gay.
Gay returned a short time ago, and,
on close questioning. confessed that
Burton had poisoned Dinniny. The
elder Gay attempted to point out the
place of burial, but failed. Burton
then made a confession that the Gays
killed him, and on Thursday took the
sheriff to cornfield in a ravine where
the body, decomposed and mutilated,
with the skull crushed, was found.
Indignation ran high. and it was with
difficulty that the three men could be
got back to the Jail, where they had
been confined since their arrest Il e in
December.
Saturday night number of men
from the vicinity of the Burton farm
came into town and were reinforced by
farmers from all parts of the country.
The party appeared to have been
picked, for there were only about 100
in all when, at midnight they sur
rounded the little Jail and demanded
the prisoners This was refused by
the sheriff, but the parley was short
The mob easily forced their way into
the Jail and dragged out the terrified
trio from their cells.
The mob was cool and apparently
well organized and made no attempt
at coneealment, though there were
many onlookers. They took the men
cut through the streets and guarded
them with jealous care, leading them
along the Union Pacific track A short
distance from town, a little prairie
stream is crossed by the railroad and
wagon road, about 100 rods east of the
Russell depot.
To the bridge over this the mob went
and placed the trembling wretches
near the edge. Ropes were ready and
one was put around the neck of each
of the men and tied to the stringers.
There was no time for prayers or plead
ings, but at a signal all three were
pushed off the edge and dropped eight
or ten feet with all the precision of a
professional hanging.
To make sure of carrying out their
purpose the mob fred two shots into
each body, although death came
quickly by the rope. Then the lynch
ers rode away quietly and the bodies
swung cold and stiff
1t is not likely that any attempt will
be made to prosecute the lynchers.

j. ED. WALBRIDGE.
NOTICE.

Walbridge realizes that these hard times
demand prices lower than any he has ever
been called upon to make, and if you will
step into his store, look over the stock, get
prices and compare them with city prices,
it will be found that he sells from 10 to 25
per cent. lower for the same goods, and be-
sides there is the freight you would have to
pay. 1t goes without saying that the small
dealers in this vicinity cannot compete with
Walbridge.
