THEIR PLAN FAILED.
Attempt of Masked Men to Stop
Train.
But the Engineer Opened the Throt-
tie and Sped Swiftly Past
the Robbers.

GRANTS PASS. Or, Dec. 14.-One of the
coolest attempts at train-robbery ever at
tempted in the State was completely frus-
trated last night about dark five miles east
of this city. AS the north-bound overland
Southern Pacific train pulled out of Wood
Vile, small station nine miles from here.
two masked tramps were seen by the
trainmen to attempt to board the train,
but for some reason failed to make it and
were left behind.
The suspicious action of the men was
plainly noticed by the trainmen, and CON-
ment made among them about the affair.
The train pulled out, and when about four
miles further on red light swung across
the track and three men with it plainly
indicated the intention of the would-be
robbers.
Instead of stopping Engineer Mccarthy
pulled the throttle wide open and left
them behind. The men all had on masks
and were armed, but further than this
no description can be obtained of them.
1t is supposed the intention was for the two
men to board the train at Woodville, and
when the men ahead were sighted to cut
the train in two, taking the express-car
ahead with the engine and loot il. The
failure OF the first men to board the train
is presumably all that save the train from
being robbed. No indications of any at
tempt to wreck the train could be found.

narrow escape from capture by the rebels.
He was en- route to Opelas to open the
new road when he heard the news of the
rebellion. which caused him to return in
hot haste.

were put over the weather side TO keep
the ship from shipping water. The water

Ond anniversary of the battle of Freder-

rior, so don't care. It's all right Some

we're more Republicans elected in The

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. IA strike
is now on among the steyedores of
the city. sixty stevedores employed
by McCabe & Hamilton having

from the American ship T. f. Babcock
being allowed TO use her own seamen in
dscharging ballast. but it is intimated
that the trouble between the A. P. A. and
the Equal Rights League stevedores has
something to do with the case.

San francisco, and Captain Graham de-
clded to use his twenty-five seamen in dis
charging ballast. He borrowed ballast
engine and gear from McCabe & Hamilton,
the stevedoring firm, and three union men
and an engineer were sent out to assist in
the work.
About l 80 P. N. the stevedoring crews
working In the port-namely, those on
the Gienmorag. Forteviota and Seafarer-
quit work without moments warning
and walked ashore.
They gave as their reason that McCabe
q Hamilton we're attempting to work
seamen with union stevedores in dis
charging ballast Up to midnight there
has been no compromise.
The firm says that 1t will put non
