THERE WAS A BATTLE,
Full Particulars, However, Not OBJ
tainable.

Wichita, Kan, April 4.-Late tonight
word was received from the territory
that the posse had come up with the
Rock Island train robbers and that in a
fight that followed one man was killed
and several wounded. Names are not
given and it is not likely that further
particulars can be secured toRght. The
leaders of the robbery, it is now learned.
were Charles Bailey and Typ Wyatt. of
ingalls,, Wayne county. They were recog-
nized by ex-United States Marshal
Grimes, who was a passenger on the
train. They were formerly prisoners in
his custody and greeted him courteously.
The others were evidently local thieves
from I<ingfisher. The delay caused by
the robbers trying to open the express
car gave the passengers an opportunity
to stow away part of their valuables.
What they handed to the robbers were
such amounts as they chose, to give up.
The negro porter was forced to carry a
small sack and go in advance of the ban
dts. Bailey kept with him to see that
everybody "chipped in,' and Wyatt held
his Winchester ready to shoot any one
who dared to interfere.

THE PURITAN
Was FlOated at 4 O'clock
This Morning.
She Went to New London by
Her Own Steam.
Big Steamer Will be Taken to New
York as Soon as Possible.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. 12.-The
steamer Puritan was pulled off Great Gull
island shortly after 4 o'clock this morn
ing by the tugs =. ID. Jones, G. IL. Platt
and w. T.. Chapman. Divers were i'm
medistely sent down to ascertain her
condition, and men stationed in the hold
watched to see whether or not a serious
leak had resulted. The divers found
that the outer shell OF the hull had been
crushed in one or two places, small in
size, but large enough to be dangerous.
The inner shelf, however had not been
pierced and only a very little water came
through into the hold. Steam had been
kept up all the time the vessel was lying
on the rocks and as soon al the extent OF
the injury had been ascertained, the Puri-
tan got under way and under her own
steam was sailed to New London and into
where she was made fast TO the pier in
front OF the railroad station. On her way
up the harbor, she was saluted by all the
craft within seeing distance and the hub.
bub very much rcsem bled that at the close
of the Yale Harvard boating contest.
AS soon as the steamer was made fast
divers again made a careful examination
examination had been accurate. As soon
as possible, the Puritan will be taken TO
New York for repairs. IL is no thought
hat the total damage Will amount to
more than $1,000 or $4,000 and the work
of repairing will not occupy more than
a weeks time. Considering the danger
Gus position in which the steamer laid,
her escape seems almost miraculous.

A FLOUR WAR.
Outcome Of an Attempted
Miller Combination.
Prices on the Leading Brands
Have Been Cut.
The Attention of AttOrney General
MOlOney Was Invoked.

CHICAGO, Nov. II. throwing out OF an
attempt on the part of a majority Of the
wholesale grocers in this city to form a
combination W tn the big North Western
millers, a fiour war has broker out.
Prices on the leading brands have been
cut sharply by the local grocers. Last
week the Washburn-Crosby Company was
approached by the representatives OF the
wholesale grocers and asked to put a
limit price on flour. The reason assign
ed for the request was that cutting was
going on, and by the combining of what
is known as a factory basis an established
price might be fixed whereby the grocer s
would nominally act as agents for the
millers, and those who would not accept
the terms given on n mutual equality
basis OF selling prices would be shut off
from the advantages given TO factories.
The Washburn-Crosby Company refused
to 60 into the combination. Thereupon
the grocers who were working for the
new plan retaliated by cutting the price
on other BRANDS of -four. The discovery
OF the attempt to put the combination
factory plan into the -four trade caused
no end OF comment among the grocers
aud jobbers.
The attention OF Acknowledgement
Moloney has been called to the growing
tendency among the grocers to establish
prices by agreement, since the plan went
into operation with the Sugar Trust.
Interesting developments may DC o
ed for.
