with eighty dollars in his pocket-all
IN twenty dollar bills. lie bought
some goods in a dry goods store and
had one of the twenty dollar bills
changed. Then with some of the
change he bGuglit some goods in a
salsen, and from the saloon he vent
to Lang's shoe shop and paid for n
pair of boots he had repaired. From
the shoe shop he went to Il saloon and
bou:git some more goods. After
willie he missed his pocket book. He
could not remember all the different
houses he had been III but he did re-
member Lang's shoe shop and he weni
back to the shop and finding that Mr..
Lang had gone TO dinner he went TO
his house and told Lang that he be-
lieYed he had left his pocket book on
a chair in his shop. Lang went with
him to the shop but there was nc
pocket book there.
IIowerton then went before Justice
Kimmel ann swore out a warrant
charging Lang with stealing his
pocket book. The case was tried
Monday and Mr.. Lang was dis
charged.
Nobody believed that Lang wa
guilty from the start and the fact that
he was discharged shows that there
was no case against him. Mr.. Lang

know that he fully sustained his

Saves Ills Train From being Held Up
Near st. Joseph.
ST. JosErH, No., March 2.--Encinccr
James D. Mckinney, OF tho Rock
Island, saved his company heavy loss
IN treasure and also escaped with his
life by an exhibition OF nerve tonight.
Passenger train No. IS, east.bound, left
the Union depot at 1925 p. IN.
Three miles cast OF this city, and but
half milo from tho place where the
Rock Island was robbed two months
ago, is deep cut. As the train glided
into the cut red lantern flashed across
tho track near the middle Of the cut
and torpedOes exploded under the
wheels.
Mckinney looked little beyond the
and it instantly flashed through his
mind that they were robbers. His train
was nearly to standstill when he ro-
allied tn is fact but he lost no lime, and
aei2ing the throttle, pulled her wide
open. Then he aud his fireman jumped
down into tho bottom oil the cab
and not minute too soon, for
when the robbers saw tho move they
fired volley into the engines cab, but
luckily hurt no one. The train dashed
through amid n perfect shower Of bull
let's, the bandits, wild with rnge, firing
into the coaches as they passed and
creating CONSERVATION among the pas
sengers, who crawlcd down under the
seats and hid their valuables. The
robbers Were not recognized.
