You are weak, rundown" health is frail, strength gone. Doctors call your case an semia-there is a fat-fam- inc in your blood. ScOtt's Emulsion of cod-liver oil, with hypophosphites, is the best food-means of getting your strength back-your doctor will tell you that.
 He knows also that when .the digestion is weak it is better to break up cod-liver oil out of the body than to burden your tired digestion with it. Scott's Emulsion does that.

Restraining Order Against Receivers
still in Force.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The restraining or
der preventing the whisky trust re-
ceivers from taking any action in the
proceeding under which they were ap-
pointed will remain in force until Satur-
day morning. Judge Grosscup entered
the order yesterday, and expected to
hear arguments on motion to oust the
receivers. On account of the gravity of
the situation the court announced that
the motion would not be taken up till
Saturday.
When Judge Grosscup opened his court
to-day he made the following statement:
Through their attorneys, certain stock
holders in the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing Company represented to me in the
presence of the President and attorney of
the company that the company was
| inSolvent, and that 50, 100000 debt would
soon fall due, and that in their opinion
unless the capital was placed in the hands
of q court of equity for operation, the
| funds Of the company would be wasted
and dissipated and the loss fall on the
stockholders"
The situation, as set forth in the bill,
was one that demanded immediate ac-
ton. To publish to the world the COM

necessary. The President Of the COM

petition is now on file from other stock
holders, representing that the first bill
was authorized by only small propor-
ton of the stock holders, and claim
ing that the President had no right
or authority to surrender the COM
pany in such a manner. 1t is fur
ther stated in the petition that at the
time the receivers were appointed COM
mittee was on the point of furnishing d
plan for the residue of the corporation
and the raising of necessary funds, and
that this plan was frustrated by the ap-
pointment of the receivers.
Under these circumstances, the petit
TONERS ask that the court hear them on
an application for the removal of the re-
ceivers. From the nature al the case, the
court should inquire into the facts, and

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
Tucson (Ariz.), Jan. 31.-Last night
train No. 20, Westbound passenger, due
here about midnight, was held up, and
the express safe robbed. More damage
than the looting of the safe, the destruc-
ton of the safe proper and the blowing of
good sized portion of the express car
roof skyward was not done. No one was
hurt, and not shot fired.
-Four men did the work. Just out of
Wilcox a man made the demand of a
brakeman, using a siX-shOoter as per-
suader, that the train be cut in two back
OF the baggage car. This was done, and
the men on the engine compelled Engin-
eer Zeigler to run out four miles and stop.
Meanwhile Express Messenger Mitch
ell had noticed that ali was not right;
that the train was cut in two, and he re-
allied that a hold-up was at hand. He
accordingly bundled all his local money
and valuables into a package, dropped
them from the car, and followed them
himself, securing the door after him. He
went back, found his package, made

The train was in the meantime brought

bers. Among the coin was 5000 ''dobie"
dollars. AS Mexican money has little
value in less than ton lots, and as the
| robbers had no drays with them, they
had no use for the stuff. and so they made
a heap of it, put a stick of dynamite un-
der it and touched it off. Only 500 of the
! $4,000 have been found. They went
through telegraph poles, cars, and, in
fact, flew everywhere.
The whole job took an hour and quar-
ter. At daylight this morning posse
took the trail. 1t was headed down the

recognized. Both are BiSbee men, one
OF them by the name of Walker. They
