A daring robbery of valuable iewelry
was carried out at Springfield, Mass, early
yesterday morning when New York
drummer's trunk of samples was stolen
from the baggage room of the Boston a.
Maine railroad The drummer whose
name is Barnum, arrived in the city We'd
nesday evening from Northampton, and
left his trunk checked at the depot. In
the morning a man appeared at the sta
ton and offered check for the trunk, and
it was delivered to him. He tried to get it
on the 7 o'clock train for the south, but
was too late, and then had it sent to the
Glendower hotel, where he had registered
the previous evening as II. C.. Boyd of Bos-
ton, and had been given room 9. About
o'clock Mr.. Barnum arrived at the station
to claim his trunk, but it was not to be
found. An investigation finally traced it
to Boyd S room, where it was found broken
open and riled of its most valuable con-
tents. Quick work of the electricians ran
the plumber down at Worcester, but the
thief escaped.
The Post Norton on Fort Payne.
The Old Colony trust company of Bos-
ton has telegraphed South, asking the
court not to confirm the sale of the Fort
Payne coal and iron company property for
100000 The trust company is trustee for
the bondholders, and the action was taken
upon the presentation of the bondholders'
committee of alleged collision in the sale.
The bondhoders allege that the buyers
of the property represented parties who
had no right to buy the property, and fur
Their allege that the $4,000 promised was
withdrawn, so as to prevent their buying
it. The men who bought the property
afterward offered to sell it to the bond
holders committee for S75, 900. The
bondholders' committee think they have
been tricked, and so instructed the Old
Colony trust company to protect their in
terests in the matter. A telegram has
been received in Boston from the clerk of
the court, saying that the telegram had
been received and was on file. 1t is prob
able that the court will order hearing on
the matter within 30 days, when the COM
mittee hope to be able to have the court re.
fuse confirmation of the sale
