Trainmen Prepared for the
Encounter - Stories of
Participants.

GREENWOOD, KY, March 81
one OF the most daring, and at the
same time one of the most unsuc-
cessful attempts at train robbery
occurred at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing in the southern portion of Ken
lucky, when six men undertook to
rob the south-bound train No. 8,
Queen & Crescent, which left Gin
clnnat1 at p. m. last night. One
of the six was killed outright. an
other died at 4 o'clock this morning.
a third, giving the name of Martin,
was captured badly wounded and
taken to Cumberland Falls. where
he has since died, and the other
three have not yet been heard from.
The train was delayed not more
than ten minutes, and reached Chat
tanooga at a. m. today, on time.
The reason for this summary dis
posal of body of train robbers
is found in the fact that some It'd
1ngs Of their purpose had been given
to the railway and express author
tiles, and that T. II. Grimm, who
serves as a superintendent of police
on the Southern road, had with him
two trusty assistants. The train
had just reached the south end of
tunnel No. 8, which is a mile north
OF Greenwood, when the robbers sig
naled 1t to stop. They had scarcely
disclosed their purpose until Mr..
Griffin and his assistants on the
train began offensive operations.
and in ten minutes two of the rob-
bers had bitten the dust, the others
had flown and the train was speed
ing on its way. Not a single injury
was suffered by any one on the train.
OF course, the treasure in care of the
Adams Express company was en-
tirely safe
The robbery was planned to have
been committed on the 18th of this
month, but on account of a creek
near the scene being out of it's
banks, the men were afraid they
would. be caught, and postponed it.
A farmer says the men have been
camping in hollow near by for five
weeks. One of the gang gave them
away to the officials, and the trains
have been loaded with detectives for
the past month.

ENGLAND HAS A CLAIM.
WantOn killing of n British Sailor
i'm Cuba Reported,

BALTIMORE, March 27.-At 2 o'clock
on the morning of March 19, Spanish
sentries murderously shot and killed
seaman of the British steamship
Laurestina, and badly wounded a Gu
ban negro at San Jago, Cuba. The
British government is investigating the
matter, and complications between
England and Spain may result. The
Laurestina arrived at this port from
st. Jago, and her officers denounce the
shooting as murder. They stated to
an Associated Press reporter that the
seaman was John Lowe, aged thirty
five years, a resident of Leeds. Eng
land, who had shipped at Cardiff, Wales.
On the night of March 49, the crew went
ashore for a stroll and walked UP from
where the vessel was lying to the town
of st. Jago, a short distance away. The
boatswain, Lowe, and another seaman
were in one party, and after a walk
about the town started to return to the
ship. When nearly there, Lowe de-
termined to return to the town, and
started back in company with a Cuban
negro. En- route they had to pass a
Cuban fort. garrisoned by Spanish
troops. Suddenly a sentinel sprang out
Of the darkness as they neared the
fort, and in Spanish commanded them
to halt. Lowe did not understand the
command and started to hurry away.
The next instant the sentinel raised his
musket and fired. Lowe dropp.d to his
knees and rolled over, corpse. The
negro then started to run, when he,
too, was shot and nlortally wounded.
The dead man and the wounded negro
were Carried inside the fort. At day
break Capt. Gavin, of the Laurestina,
went to the fort and demanded the
body OF the man. This demand was re
fiised, and he has male e formal COM

were those two, one dead and the other
mortally wounded. The confederat tes
who escaped, 1 think, are three in
number. A large posse of people resid-
ing in the vicinity started in pursuit of
the men, who, I think, have taken to
the mountains. The man killed was
Jesse Morrow, aged about forty-eight
or fifty. He resided with his wife and
a number of sons in Wayne county,
about fourteen miles from the scene
of the trouble. He was known as the
worst and most desperate man in the
community, and 1 heard number of
people say that whoever fired the shot
which killed him had fired the best shot
ever fired in the county. The people
on all sides were loud in their praise

short time ago released from custody.
Thomas Morrow, the man who was
picked up near the dead man, was
found to be shot through the breast,
and, l think, twelve buckshot struck
him. He was picked UP and carried
by myself and another person to the
depot at Greenwood, where he died at
4:08, after suffering intense agony. This
man was a son of the big man who had
been shot and killed instantly, and was
about thirty years of age, and was a
tough customer. He, l heard, lived
near his father, and had been in trou-
BILE several times. The leader of the
gang is a man by the name of Under
wood, and he is a desperate criminal,
having been implicated in several cases,
and has been arrested on a charge of
numbering a friend some time ago.
