RevoIvers FIourisneu and
Passengers Scared.
The Engineer Forced to Leave His
Train Behind.
Express Car Left With IL and the
Robbers Disappointed.

TUCSON, Ariz.. Feb. 26-When the west
bound overland reached Stems Pass last
night, shortly after o'clock, two masked
men appeared on the station plat
form armed with six-shooters. One
of them got into the engine and covered
the fireman and engineer and told them
to cut off the car next to the tender, and
then the engineer was told to proceed.
When they had gone about three miles
they stopped. The bandits carried a sack
of what appeared to be dynamite. This
they placed beside the road bed until the
engine started and then they discovered
that they had left the express car behind.
The bandits INDUCED in considerable talk
and then mounting horses that were
fastened to tree near by they rode to the
south. The engine and car returned to
the rest of the train. The passengers
were badly scared. Many crawled under
the seats and remained there until as
sured that the danger was over.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 26.-Secretary
Gresham has received a cable from u.
Consul Williams at Havana announcing
that martial law has been proclaimed in
Cuba. The Spanish minister here, Senior
Muragua, has also received similar ad-
vices from the Cuban officials. AS nearly
as can be gathered here this measure
is rather precautionary at this time, and
while there has been few small disturb
ances on the island, the trouble has not
yet attained any considerable proper
tions, and 1t is expected that the
firm stand taken in suspending the
operation OF civil process will be re-
garded as warning by malcontents and
lead to the speedy restoration of peace
and quiet.

To lnQuirers.


The competition positively closes at
p. m, March IS next.
Entries may be made at any time.
When sending in q batch OF votes il Is
not necessary to write the name OF the Or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in bundle, Sc
curing them together by pin or string,
and write the name OF the lodge they are
intended for or the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured so that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors of the piano in order
TO vote. Everybody Is entitled to vote as
often as they please. All they have to do
Il to cut the ballot out of THE NEWS and
send it to the Barnaby Company, where 1t
will be duly registered and filed. What
ever organization has secured the most
votes gets the piano. That's all there is
TO it.
The price Of THE NEWS Is one cent.
This price is invariable except to news
dealers and to newsboys.
No papers will be availab BILE at THE NEWS
Office to anyone at a less price. As a mat
ter of fact this price is rs cents hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price of a
two-cent paper. The decision to
sell the paper at the regular price TO other
than dealers and newsboys, is based on our
usual practice. We have twicn had, within
a few weeks, order for five thousand
papers, containing a certain article which
the buyer desired TO mail throughout the
Etate-having nothing TO do with~the
piano contest--and the price demanded
End paid was fifty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that oil interested may
have an equally fair show
TO ,ecuro their ballots without any dis
elimination in favor Of those who con.
ceive the idea OF buying In large quantities
and perhaps securing all the votes they
want from an extra order for particu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any "iunk" during the piano contest
Any and all papers returned and sent to
the waste paper buyers will be torn
through the ballot so that 1t will be
unavailable.
No one connected with THE NEWS office
or with theJ 3. Barnaby Company will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will bo printed except in the
regular edition Of THE NEWS.
The standing Of the Bsrnaby Company,
who give the piano, and OF THE NEWS,
the medium OF their competition, Is suffi-
cient to guarantee the friends OF the rival
organizations that not only will
the contest be conducted strictly
on fair and square lines and
decided solely on the number OF votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for tho procuring OF ballots
other than the channels that are
open to all alike. There will
be no "inside" work possible Of
any description and we will thank any OF
the friends OF the competing organizations
for information that seems 10 suggest
anything Of the sort.

MANUAL TRAINING.

An old friend of DR.. Holmes says: About
20 Yeas ago being in Boston one day,
called upon him and was u>hered into his
library unannounccd. AS the door opened
heard singular scraping sound, and the
doctor rose to meet me with a slightly
embarrassed air.
When the servant was gone, said Il
am afraid disturbed you"
He laughed. Yes, you did, but | was at
work on neither a poem nor a lecture.
lie touched a spring, and out from under
the library table rolled little bench fitted
out with turning lathe and tools.
'This is the way | rest myself, " he said.
"But there are people in the world who
would think that if a physician made Jim
cranks' he must be mad. So when | think
any such fools are coming l touch this but
ron, and away goes my workbench, and |
am discovered in character, bending over

DR.. Holmes was one Of the first of our
physicians to see and point out the danger
in the prolonged nervous strain to which
brain workers in this country too often
subject themselves. He insisted upon the
value of a hobby, some mental occupation
differing from the ordinary business or pro-
fession, on which the brain could at once
work and rest -Housekeeper.

STOPPING RUNAWAYS.

Every mounted policeman connected
with the Central park squad swears by his
horse. No other animal, in his opinion, is
quite rs good, sound or well trained for the
ofttimes difficult work which they are
called upon TO perform. This pride in
their horses has led to friendly spirit of
rivalry between the men, which is I'M
doubtedly the cause of the excellence of the
department. The stopping OF II runaway
in the drives OF bride paths is by 10 means
an easy undertaking. The comparatively
few serious accidents resulting from runa-
ways, which during the greater portion OF
the year average more than 80 month,
speak well for the skill and daring Of the
mounted squad. Sergeant Egan, who has
command OF the squad, declares that any
one of his men can give 'p's' and q's to
any cowboy that ever straddled a horse.
I've have had COW punchers' in our
ranks. y said the sergeant, who could pick
up Il handkerchief from the ground while
riding at breakneck speed, or throw la>so
to perfection, but when it came to taking
their lives in their hands in stopping Il
runaway they were not in it with some Of
our New York boys who never mounted il
horse until they joined the squad. I'll
warrant that any of my men will catch any
runaway that ever started in the park.

ping horses?"
Baldwin was called in and the sergeant
gave orders to have his horse saddled.
When all was in readiness, the two men
rode down the bride path to give an illus
traton of the system which all the men
have practced and studied until they now
have it down to perfection. Sergeant Egan
halted and Baldwin, on his horse Harry,
went down the path to get good start. In
geant on dead gallop Egan's horse
pricked up his ears, already seeming the
work cut out for it, AS Baldwin came
nearer Egans superb animal began to
move with gradually increasing speed I'M
til the supposed runaway was alongside,
and then it ran neck and neck with Bald
wins horse.
Reaching out, the sergeant gasped the
bride of Baldwin's horse, and his own steed
began to pull back, coming to a complete
standstill within ten yards, Several more
trials were made, the men taking turns at
stopping each other. You SEE they can
not get away from us said the sergeant,
'as our horses understand their business
as well as the men. They never allow a
runaway to get past them. A stern chase
is often long chase Under the regula-
ton riders and drivers are allowed to move
only at a certain speed within the park. A
runaway OF course always exceeds this pace
and the policeman horse detects the rapid
patter of hoofs as quickly as he does him
