WICHITA ROBBERY CASE.
Charles Hall and John Martin Plead Guilty
to the Charge and Fully ExOnerate
Martin and johnson.

In the federal court yesterday
morning Charles Hall and John Mar
tin were arraigned on the charge of
robbing the Washita railroad section
house. The prisoners entered a plea
of guilty in three cases and two other
indictments against them were dis
missed, there being five pending in
all. Two other fellows, Carl Martin
and Will Johnson, we're arrested sew
eral weeks ago on the charge of be-
ing implicated in the robbery, and at
their examining trial some of the
witnesses testified pretty strongly
against them, which resulted in their
being held to await the action of the
grand jury.
Hall and Martin, in entering their
pleas of guilty yesterday morning
completely exonerated Martin and
Johnson, saying that they had moth
ing whatever to do with the raid, and
as a CONSCIENCE Martin and johnson
were, on order of Judge Bryant, dis
charged from custody. The robbery
on the Sth day of last March when a
couple of fellows rode up to the sec
ton house in true desperate style
and began firing into it. The section
boss and wife were both wounded.
The robbers secured several pieces
of valuable iewelry, such as gold
watches, diamonds, etc, and $3.50 in
money. All of these valuables have
been recovered except the money

HELPLESS COURTS.

The territory courts are tied up
now. There are only twelve depu-
ties to serve papers for 10000
people. The Attorney General
thinks that one deputy can serve
papers and arrest criminals for },
600 people in Il country that Is
counted as rendezvous for ont
laws.
The marshal of the Northern
District is even worse handicapped
than any of the others. He has
the territory that has furnished a
reldezvOus for more robber bands
and other criminals than any place
in the United States. This not
saying anything against the citi-
zens of that section, but the coun-
try seems peculiarly suited to THEN
wants, and to possess more attrac :
tiOns than any other place. There
are a number of men in the North :
ern District that it would not be
safe for less than four men to
attempt to arrest, and that is all
the force the marshal can send, all
that he has at his disposal. \

Marshals McAleSter and Ruthcr

much by getting through the fence and
scratching up the strawberry plants.
Our friend tried many ways to rid

Now, it's necessary for you 10 know

BUSINESS DECREASED
TRAFFIC OF INDIANAPOLIS RAIL
= WAYS FELL OFF LAST wEEK
Less Grain and Live stock Forwarded
An Improvement Expected with
Opening Of Spring.

The train records show that in the week
binding March 16 there were 414 fewer loaded
cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis
than in the week ending March 8, but in
making comparisons with the movement of
the corresponding week Of 1894 an increase
of 47 loaded cars is shown. The decreased
business was chiefly in east-bound traffic,
less grain and live stock being forwarded.
The sharp advance in the price of corn
has seemingly checked shipments Temporal
lily. parties holding corn anticipating still
higher prices, and a failing off in shipments
of live stock is a usual thing in March, as
a large per cent of the hogs and fat cat
tie nave been forwarded. In export traffic
an increase is shown, the shipments via
Newport News especially having been large.
in west-bound business a steady improve
ment is noticeable from week to week.
Shipments in dry goods, millinery and
staple groceries are not at a maximum and
for six weeks to come tonnage OF this class
will be heavy. 1t is noticeable that both
east and west transcontinenal line freights
are heavier than in any former year, show
ing thar the indianapolis through lines are
getting a better hold of these lines of
freights. Southwestern merchants are ship
ping goods purchased in the East more
each year over the midland routes. Local
business was not SO heavy last week as in
the week ending March 8. the unusually
cold weather for the. middle of March
tHttfhiI6 DuclilCSS III an uirS iiioiN VI
An early Improvement i'm local business may
now be looked for. Building will soon be-
gin on an extensive scale and work on
the streets, which will increase the inbound
shipments of material required for such
improvements. Comparisons with last
year, say freight men, show that Indian
apolis manufacturers are shipping three
carloads of machinery. furniture and other
manufactured goods than in March, 1894,
which they think to be a gratifying sign.
Below is given the car movement for
the weeks ending March is and March .
and the corresponding week last year.
