colors at Normanna rink today to Peter
Ostlund, the champion of Europe. in a
race of 1,500 metres or 1,640 yards A

led until within twenty rods of the
finish when Ostlund made d wonderful
burst of speed and won by less than
two feet in 2:53 10
The ice was in bad condition, owing
to the mild weather and the falling
snow, consequently the time was "a
slower than the best record made by
Ostlund, at Hamer, Norway. February
20, 1894. The race was. nevertheless, q
pretty one from start to finish and was
hOtly contested. Johnson did not seem
to be in the best form. He held the
worlds record for one rnilerand has al
ways been q great f1nisher. but on this
occasion Ostlund displayed by far the
best staying qualities and his friends

dition sufficiently important to attract
the attention and command the inter

these localities may not be OVereSti-

With this explanation, the high posi-
ton OF a man Of Mr.. CannOn'S peculiar
methods may more clearly be under
stood. In this relationship he STANDS
out as the most important and unique
character in the west. The value OF
his cooperation has not been OVereSti-
mated by Republicans the nation over;
it has not been oVerestimated by the
far-seeinS Democrats in Utah, though
seemingly ignored by the national
leaders of the party. That the posi-
BILE outcome may be predicted, it is
perhaps well to know what manner of
man this George Q. Cannon is. and
this must be judged from history alone
for, as has already been stated. his
life, work, aspirations, and even relig-
iOus bias are matters on which his own
people possess no uniform opinion

The sheriff finally overpowed the two men and now has them in their room waiting the coming of a United States officer. At the time of his dedication, Donaldson was followed to New Orr leans, when he is said to have sailed for South America, but trace of him was found later in Kansas and the ofi- cers had been on his tracks ever since.

They Get S25, ,OOO by Holding Up Train in
 Arkansas-T Texas Express Office Robbed.
 PINE BLUFF, Ark, Jan. 25.-The south bound Cotton Belt train was held up and robbed by two masked men, near McNeil, at 7:05 p. m. last night. The robbers were riding on the blind baggage, and as the train was going through deep cut Engineer Crowley saw them crawling over the tender to the engine. Before he real ized what was up he was looking into the muzzles of pair of 45-caliber re- volvers. The robbers commanded him to stop the train and marched him to the express car, in charge of Messen- ger J. w. Massey. Massey was COW cred by the bandits, as was also Con- ductor Harris, who had come out in the meantime. They took the money Harris had on his person. The amount of money taken from the express car could not be ascertained
 After an intellectual attempt to open the safe in the express car, the bandits compelled the messenger to assist them. The amount taken from the safe is esti- mated at S25, coo. The watch and chain taken from Conductor Harris were re- turned to him upon the assurance that they belonged to him individually.
 It is thought that members of the Cook gang No. 9. who were implicated in the recent train robbery near Oga- maw, Ark, and released for want of proof, are the men who did the job. They remarked when leaving the officers: You have the laugh on us this time, but we will come again." and it seems they made good their threat. The pas sengers were not molested, nor was any one hurt by the bandits.
 AN EXPRESS OFFICE LooTED.
 SUGARLAND, Tex, Jan. 25.-A bold robbery of the railway and express office here has aroused the town. A band of masked men rode to the office and demanded of Agent Adams the safes contents After a severe beating Cashier Adams opened the safe and the robbers took Sl, 800 in cash. A number of citizens undertook to intercept the robbers. A sharp battle took place, but the highwaymen escaped to the Brazos swamps. A posse started in pursuit and returned with four men under arrest-Crane. Thompson, Den ton and Flowers. The posse is still securing the country for others.

BACKBONE BROKEN.
The Striking Street Car Men Getting
 WOrsted,


 BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.-Though there have been several minor collisions be- tween strikers and their friends in vari- ous parts of the city to-day, the situa- tion is decidedly better for the general public and it is generally believed that the backbone of the strike has been broken. The refusal of the electri- cians and line repairers to quit work was the most decisive blow to the hopes of the strikers, and the fear of the mil itary has deterred many who were in- clined to be unruly last week from open acts of lawlessness.
 The officials of the railroads have re- fused to arbitrate on any terms, but declare that good men will be well comcd back at any time they see fit to apply for places. The officials declare that each day the vacancies are grow ing fewer, for the new men put to work are doing very well and will not be discharged.
 Two strikers, who had been sent out by band of their fellows and had been followed by disguised detectives, were caught cutting wires this morn ing. Several lines were badly crippled by these wire cutters, but repairs were soon made.
 The cross town line was put in opera tion this morning. Much trouble had been expected, for it goes through bad section. One car was badly dam. aged by rocks, but it and others went through on time, well guarded by po- lice
