tie which ensued in one of the
coaches.
The robbers, some little time after
they had stopped the train, came on
the second coach with the fireman
ahead of them, aud sack made out
of one leg of a pair OF old overalls.
The passengers were told to put
their money and other valuables in
the sack.
The bandits had robbed the first
coach and were entering the second
when Sheriff Bogard, who had gone
down the road on business, and
who was coming in the other
end of the car, fired and killed one
of the robbers
Before the robber fell, he shot
twice, both shots taking effect in the
freman's back and leg.
As Bogard turned partly around
| to get shot at the otnor robber he
received his death wound, before lie
| had time to FIRE the third time

Bogard, Immediately leaving the car.
/ The robbers first entered the ex
press car, bat as the safe had time
lock they were unable to secure any
thing. so they proceeded to the

Bogard had boarded the train al

! When he was awakened by the
brakeman he inmc d:tely put on his
clothes and was in his bare feet

him. The dead robber is not known.
The fireman, A. Nethercott, was
seriously wounded, having received
two wounds in different parts Of the
body.
The colored porter in the tourist
sleeper, just beyond the day coach,
became aware that the robbery was
in progress, and knowing that Sher
iff Bogard was in a berth, cslled
him.
Bogard, armed with his heavy re
volver, started for the door to north.
He crossed the platform between
the sleeper and the day coach and
as he entered the latter at the rear
door the robbers came in at the
north. The Sheriff stepped to one
side and fired. His bullet dropped
one of the men. but the second fail
ed to reach its target.
One of the robbers must have
seen Bogard enter, and running
alongside Of the car, entered and
shot the Sheriff from the rear. The
fatal wound is in the main right ar
terry, in the back, just below the
kidneys.
The robber, after Bogard fell, ask
ed: Are you killed, Billf' evidently
knowing the Sheriff or mistaking
him for some one else with whom
he had acquaintance.

The HERALD AND NEWS, published at

page souvenir edition descriptive OF our
county seat. A special Chelsea edition
can not be otherwise than interesting.
The historical and biographical parts OF
the work are commendable and readable
from start to finish. The chapter OF more
general interest Is stChelsea, the County
Seat" written by Hale K. Darling. The
sketch Is intensely interesting, or at least
should be to every citizen OF Orange coun-
ty and especiallyso to Newbury people;
because 1t contains many facts In relation
to our early settlers and the active part
taken by them In county affairs. We hope
IN the near future to make and publish
copiOus extracts from this sketch. The
wriler is the youngest son OF Senator
Darling, born at East Corinth in 1869, and
has recently formed law partnership
with his father In Chelsea. We congratu-
late the boy lawyer and the boy historian

lighting for Randolph.

Perhaps, after all, the fates have beer
kind to Randolph 10 the matter OF light
ing, though we short. sighted mortal
have often thought otherwise. Our ina.
bility to install an electric plant, which

pecially adapted to Randolph's needs.
here has been the lack OF power. With

try. After being fused, water Is broug hl
into contact with the substance, and a.
cetylene gas is one OF the resultant prod
ucts. The gas Is then placed under pres
sure, changing 1t to liquid, in which
form it can be transported any distance
and kept any length OF time. 1t Is con-
fined in metal cylinders.
Supplied with these tanks of acetylene,
all that is necessary is the ordinary gas
pipings and connections to admit the gas,
as the liquid becomes gas as soon as the
pressure IL removed by opening stop
cock in the tank. Buildings now sup
piled with gas can use acetylene simply by
attaching the tanks and using the new
gas instead OF the old. We believe new
tets would be required. For street light
ing, each lamp post could have a cylinder
attached, or there could be central de-
pot and the gas flow in pipes from 1t to
the various lamps.
As to the quality Of the light, it is said
to be superior to the electric. Il is beau
tiful, clear, white light, much Ike sun
light. It is brilliant but not dazzling. 1t
is perfectly steady and does not flicker
like the ordinary gas. In short, 1t is the
light par excellence.
1t Is not dangerous to use, wherein IT
possesses an advantage over electricity.
1t does not require an expensive plant
or large force OF help to conduct 1t.

full and used as the customer sees ut. The
contents OF one tank are sufficient to light
thirteen room house three months, and
the cost is only eight dollars.
OF course the discovery Is young yet
and expectations may not be iu!hiied, but
afford to keep its eye on the new lliumi-
pant for few months.
No special act OF legislature, no charter,
would be required to convert our present
naptha street lamps to acetylene i1ghts Of

Perhaps Randolph may still show her
heels to neighboring towns that have ex-
pended thousands Of dollars in securing

That induced Saint Paul to utter
What for women be thought meet

Nor, authority usurping
Over man, should try to preach.
