leaning backward, the scene about him
being much like the corner of n ring in
which pugilist champion had received
a blow. Every eye in that room was
bent upon the scene. Every form was
half raised from its seat, There was a
rustic of excitement about Harry.
Look him in the eye, Harry; look
him in the eye," cried the mother.
Harry did not move His mother shook
him, and he reused himself, and, leaning
far over the table toward his brother, bis
head on his hands, tried to catch his
brothers. eye. Adry was talking so
rapidly and excitedIy that he did not see
him, and Harry could not catch his
glance. He slid back in his chair and
was not equal to it. Ii that eye could
have controlled the elder brother in the
past. 1t had grown poWerless.
Ihe day was filled with exciting Incl
dents. Once, when Mr.. Erwin asked if
he had any affection for his brother, he
replied that he had. Then he asked,
knowing Mr.. Erwin's intention, would
he have gone and shot any body if he had
been in his position. Mr.. Erwin was a
trit1e excited, and asked the Court if he
might answer, and, to his surprise, the
Court said he might. Then, for a mo-
ment, ali his pent up feelings burst forth
III short, scathing sentence, in which he
gave Adry to understand that if he
thought his brother crazy or intending
guilt, he would have moved heaven and
earth to prevent it. 1t was a startling
scene for moment.
The most dramatic and affecting scene
occurred on adjournment. Hardly had
the crowd begun to move toward the
doors than Adry Hayward pushed his
way to his mothers side. Mrs. Hayward
turned, and the tears sprang 70 her eyes
as she leaned forward into Adry's arms.
Tenderly the son kissed his mother, who
sobbed out: 'Adry, Adry, how could you
do it?" Adry was visibly affected. and
placing his hand to his eyes, his other
arm encircling his mothers form, re-
piled: 81 had to, mother; it was my
duty" Then placing his hand upon her
shoulder he endeavored to comfort her.
Harry, who stood by during this affect
ing scene, stepped forward and pushed
Adry's hand from the mothers shoulder,
eXciaiming: Don't, AIRY; can't you see
you are exciting her." Adry fell back,
and Mrs. Hayward was led from the
room.

based upon no definite statement from

Passenger Train.
ARDMORE q. t., Feb. 1l.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to hold up the
northbOund Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
passenger train at about 1880 P. NJ at a
point on Hickory Greek. two and half
miles south of the little town of Over
brook. The train was the fast Kansas
City through passenger and express
known as No. 2, due here at A. NJ, and
was in charge Of Conductor Coulick.
The railroad has established new
watering station near the point where
the hold-up was attempted and the rob-
bers evidently expected the train to stop
at the tank for water, as is customary.
AS the engineer was getting ready to
water his engine he commenced to slow
up, the headlight revealing suspicious
looking characters on the track. He
opened up and fairly flew by the water
tank, and from the underDrush on either
side of the train was fired upon. No one
was hit, most Of the bullets taking effect
in the sleeper. United States Deputy
Marshals were dispatched to the spot,
but as yet no clew 10 the would-be rob-
Ders has been obtained.
