A. C. MERRITT NAMED.

Made State Grain Inspe ctOr by Governor
morrill, Today.
Governor Morrill, this morning settled
the controversy over the appointment of
state grain inspector by naming A. c.
Merritt, of Wsmego, for that position.
Merritt was a Democrat until four
years ago, and is brother of the famous
Jim Merritt. who looked after the poll
tical interests of the Union Pacific in
Kansas for many years.
A bigdight was made against Merritt's
appointment in his own county, but he
had the Endorsement of the Kansas City
elevator men and Cy. Leland looked on
his candidacy with favor
Among the other candidates for the
place were "A. G. Sherman of Rossville,
d. w. Nall of Abilene, aud r F. Antle
of Atchison. Besides these there were
score or more of less prominent Repub-
licans.
Merritt was a candidate for mayor Of
Wamego year ago, but was defeated by
vote of two to one.
The salary OF grain inspector is $4,000
year. The law provides for the ap-
pointment of twenty deputy grain in
spectors, who do the work under the
supervision of the state Inspector
The deputy inspectors are named by
the Kansas City, Kas., board of trade,
but must be confirmed by the state grain
inspector.
The editor of the Wamego Times and
the county attorney of Pottawatomie
county told the governor about ten days
ago that if Merritt was appointed it
would cost him and the party 2.0J0 votes

GOT RINGS AND MONEY
Outlaws Rob a Rock Island
Train at Dover, Ind. 7.
Passengers We're Relieved of
Money and Valuables.
CHANGED HIS MIND.
Engineer Didn't Stop Till a Bull
let Whizzed Past Him.
Robbers Got About $500 and
Are Pursued.

CHICAGO, April 4-Rock Island train
No. was held up in Oklahoma last
night by robbers and the passengers
robbed The robbery occurred at 1850
last night twenty rods west of Dover.
The train was stopped and five mounted
men ordered the baggageman to
open the door of the baggage car.
He refused and the robbers fired twelve
shots through the door, wounding the
baggage man in the wrist. The robbers
then broke open the door with q sledge,
but did not succeed in getting any plunder
from the baggage car.
They hurriedly proceeded through the
smoker and one day coach, securing
about $500 in money from the passen-
gers; in addition to the $500 cash the rob-
bers also obtained from their victims in
the day coach and smoker, six revolvers
and number of watches and rings.
The passengers in the sleepers were
not disturbed. The robbers were last
seen from the train going west from
Dover, all mounted, the leader being
upon a mettlesome gray horse. A posse
started from Kingtisher, the next station,
in pursuit of the bandits
HENNEssEY, Ok, April 4.-Further de-
tails of the robbery near Dover state
CINE Just as the train was leaving Dover
and covering the engineer and fireman
commanded them to stop at certain
point about 200 yards from the water
tank. The engineer, little excited,
went about one-fourth of a mile before
stopping and narrowly escaped losing
his life in consequence.
One robber fired at him, just missing
him, the ball going through the cab
window. Conductor James Mack, not
having heard the shot. started to find
out what WAS wrong and was covered as
he approached the engine and was told
to climb in. the engine. They robbed
| him and were then Joined by others who
/ hadeo up-tO the train
A demand was made for Express Mes-
senger Jones to open his door. This
was refused, and fusillade followed in
which the messenger was wounded il
the wrist He attempted to escape from
the opposite side of the car, but was cap
tured by a guard on that side and made
to crawl under the train.
An attempt was then made to open the
safe but nothing could be done. Then
| they proceeded to rob the passengers as
already stated. When the train arrived
at Kingfsher Sheriff Burchett and
! United States Marshal Madsen, of E.
Reno, were notified and carried to the
scene of the hold up by a special train.
They found the trail about four miles
west of Dover, where the Cimarron river
had been crossed, and are still following
it. There is no positive Identification oil
the robbers, but they are supposed to be
led by Dick Yeager, an outlaw who has
headquarters in Cheyenne county. If the
posse comes up with the robbers a fighi
will probably occur.
