HELD UP AT WAUPACA.
Bandits Attack a Wisconsin
Central Passenger Train.
Engine is Ditched Dynamite Used on the
Express Safe.

waupaca. Wis, Sept. 20.-There was
most daring train robbery perpetrated
here last night. It is almost a miracle
that no one was killed in the wreck
which was caused by Instructions placed
on the track by the bandits, who had
also loosened the spikes of the rails. ANA
it is also equally surprising that none
of the Danic-stricken passengers or Train
men were killed by the fusilade OF shots
which the robbers fired at the cars ana
through the windows to brighten them
and prevent their taxing par. ~ "n'
ATTEMPT to Illustrate the robbery.
The train attacked was the passenger
and mail train No. 2 from st. Paul on
the Wisconsin Central railroad. Com
ductor Whitney and Engineer Blame
were in charge. When it had reached a
swamp three miles west OF this Guy tne
engine struck an obstruction on the track.
The train had been tagged, but the en-,
gineer could not stop in time. Lies nau
been piled on the track and the engine
and ba gage cars were thrown INTO
ditch. The engineer and fireman es'
capped by jumping and were lmmeuia.e;y
covered by revolvers and told 70 remain
quiet, orders which they were opiiseo ~
obey. g.. ord
The robbers at once began to hre ana
# was evident to the passengers that the
train had been attacked by bandlts'
whom they momentarily expected to ap-
pear. There was great hurrylng 70
hide their valuables. But the roppers
only made raid on the express car, the
doors of which were beaten or blown
open. The conductor said there might
have been two or dozen men IN the at
lacking party, he could not tell.
Twelve sticks of dynamite were ex-
ploded on the safe without avail. Ihey
could not open it, and finally fed without
iniuring anyone or getting any booty.
The wreck is bad one and it will take
several hours to clear the track. :,
The passengers were assured that the
danger was over, and they brought their
money, watches and valuables out from
their temporary hiding places. The ex-
press car was almost blown to pieces.
The passengers were taken back to
Sheridan.

Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. 19.-[Special]-
Thomas Doyle, the accused freight car
thief, pleaded guilty in the municipal
court this morning and was sentenced to
three years at Waupuu.
There is quite a romance connected
with the whole affair. Recently Miss

strange girl visited the courthouse and
asked Jailer Jeschke as to the where

don't you?" to which she nodded assent.
After waiting short time Desmond and
Doyle made their appearance, hand
cuffed together and escorted by Sheriff
Horn. The two lovers greeted each
no unusual manifestations. Only brief
conversation had ensued between the
couple when Doyle called to the jailer
and asked if he would extend the time
of his return to the Jail until they could
procure the services of a justice. Mr..
Jeschke acquiesced willingly, though not
knowing what was about to occur. JUS
tice Crozier's consent was obtained and
after arriving at the Jail he was in
formed by Doyle that he and the girl
who was present wished to get mar
ried. Nothing daunted by the surround
ings, the justice agreed to perform the
ceremony if the parties were of legal
age. Justice Crozier got Register of

DANGER Is NOT PAST.
Swamp Fires in the Vicinity Of
Appleton Get Fresh
Start.
FINE TIMBER LAND BURNED.
Farmers Are Fighting the Flames by
Means of Back Fires
State Specials.

Appleton, Wis, Sept. 21.-[Special1-
Fire has broken out again in Center
swamp and yesterday burned over a
small tract of valuable timber. The
rain of last night checked it considerable,
but unless long-continued, soaking rains
come the whole swamp seems destined to
burn. Farmers of that region have pro.
tected their property by system of back
fires during the past week, and in the
event of the destruction of the swamp
the loss will be mostly confined to tim,
Der.
One farmer named Peters is so stu
ated that if the fire again gets good
start the whole place must be swept.
He and the neighbors are now hard at
work forestalling such contingency by a
system of small back fires which are kept
under control and will make clearing
which will turn the course of the flames
around his property in case the main
swamp gets fairly ablaze.
1t has been absolutely impossible to
extinguish the fire as it burns into the
ground to depth of two feet among
the roots and peaty soil. AS long as
the fire exists thus every wind is sure
to fan it into a blaze and hopes OF
saving the timber of the swamp are near
ly abandoned

O'Clock Sunday afternoon fine broke out

sending an engine and 5000 feet of hose.
Notwithstanding the hard fighting on the
part of the departments to check the

and disgust. Both these gentlemen were
active and effective workers for the
union of the two cities last spring, but
they openly declare now that had they
known what the outcome would be they
would have worked fully as hard against
consolidation. In the meantime DR..

Trouble Over the Break in the Green
Bay Electric Plant.
Green Bay, Wis, Sept. 2O.-[Special.]
For more than week the city has been
in partial darkness and for two nights
in almost total darkness. In putting the
new shaft into the electric light works
it was necessary to shut down all the
machinery and for two nights the cleo
trio lights have been entirely supplanted
by gas. Unfortunately, however, when
the breakdown at the works occurred one
of the retorts had been torn away for
the purpose of rebuilding it, and there
fore but half the amount of gas has been
available. For two nights the streets
have been shrouded in Egyptian darkness
and tie gas lights in the business places
have burned with glow that has been
exasperatingly dull and feeble. 1t is an
interesting spectacle as dusk comes on to
see business men chasing about the
streets in a search for lamps that may,
with what gaslight they have, enable
them to see to do business. 1t is ex-
pected the new shaft will be in place
and the electric lights running again by
