USED THE DYNAMITE FIRST.
eobbers In Michigan Do Not Ask the Ex-
preesmAn to Open In.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Aug. 21.-The
fast express known as the FLYER on
the Chicago and West Michigan rail-
road leaving Chicago at o'clock and
arriving here at 10:40 was held up by
five men in piece of woods just be-
fore crossing the Kalamazoo river at 8
o'clock tonight. The train was nag
ged by swinging a white light across
the track and when it stopped Conduc-
tor E. E. Rice of this city stepped out
on the platform Of the baggage car,
and seeing two robber. asked: What's
the natter" The reply was two shots
from their revolvers. At the same time
other shots were fired into the engine
cab and moment later two men climb
ed on the engine and ordered the en-
gineer and fireman to set brakes and
keep quiet. When the train stopped
the brakeman, Timothy Murphy of this
city, jumped on the rear platform and
started back with a lantern as reQuir-
ed by the rules. The fifth robber, stand
ing alongside the coach, fired five shots
at the brakeman, one Of which hit him
in the side. struck a rib and glanced
out, making serious flesh wound. He
dropped into the ditch. where he re-
manned until the robbers had gone.
Conductor Rice after a bullet whizzed
past his head retreated to the baggage
car and threw his pocketbook over be-
hind the trunks. Without demanding

under the side door, blew it off and
sprang into the car with the remark:
I'VE want all you've got here"
They ordered this conductor, bag
gagemen and express messenger to
throw up their hands and went through
their pockets, taking $3.50 in change
from the conductor, but finding moth
ing except watches on the others. They
then tackled the safe, and blew it open
in thirty seconds. 1t contained no val
uables; the messenger having gone out
in the afternoon with dead" trip.
They took watches from the engineed
and fireman, but when the conductor
said he would need his watch it was
handed back to him, and saying good
night" the robbers took to the woods.
The passengers were not mQlested.
To make sure of halt, ties had been
piled on the track half a length ahead
OF where the engine stopped. The
baggage car was not disabled and the
train proceeded.
The trainmen cannot give good de-
scription of the robbers. The leader
was heavy man who wore a full beard
and another was dressed like farmer.
None of them wore masks but those
who boarded the train concealed their
features as much as possible.
Allegen, Ottawa, Won Buren,. Kent
and Kalamazoo sheriffs have been noti-
fed and officers here say that unless
the robbers have a boat and escape
across Lake Michigan they will be
caught.

Mr.. Woodford Congrms the General Theory
of Walters Persecution.
London, Aug. 21.-Fresh interest is
added to the Waller case by the pres
ence here of Ethelbert Woodford. who
assisted Mrs. Waller and children out
of Madagascar after her husband had
been sentenced by the court-martial.
Mr.. Woodford went to Madagascar last
February on business. He states that
upon his arrival at Tamatave he found
Waller in prison. According to his re-
port Of the affair, the sole evidence
against the ex-consul was embodied in
letters to Mrs. Waller and from a Hova
friend. wherein the occupation of NADIA
gascar by the French was discussed
and a description given Of alleged out
RACES upon women. Woodford declares,
however. that the real cause of French
action against Waller is the fact that
he obtained valuable concessions from
the Hovas.
Woodford believes there is liable to
be trouble over Walters case as the re-
port which was made by the United
States consul seems to have been inter-
cepted. as it never reached Washing
ton. Woodford found Mrs. Waller and
her children destitute on the charity Of
friendly Hovas and took them to Maui
ritius at his own expense. At Paris he
communicated all he knew to United
States Ambassador Eustis.
