TEMPLE, Tex, Aug. 2S.-Meager
particulars of an Gttempt to hold up
and rob the south bound Santa Fe
passenger train yesterday morning
just after leaving Heidenheimer, in
this county, by masked men, have
reached Temple. The train left here
on time at 15J5 a. m. with Conductor
G. Aiken in charge and Engineer
Franks on the engine. After pulling
out of Heidenheimer few minutes
two masked men crawled over the
tender of the engine and held the en-
gineer amp fireman up. They stopped
the train and in doing SO left the
throttle partly open and reversed.
Soon after alighting on the ground
and while the masked men were busily
engaged in an effort to open the ex-
press car door, the engine began to
back, whereupon the engineer picked
his chance to jump on the engine and
continue to back to Heidenheimer.
AS the train did SO the robbers fired
half dozeL or more shots at the
train, but hurt no one. The train
proceeded, after short search by the
trainmen for trace of the robbers
A posse is out after the robbers now,
but there was no news from the hunt
up to o'clock.

learned, are as follows: Condra had
been working for Wright for two
years or more; they had been the best
of friends and up to few months
ago had lived together. Recently
Condra went to an adjoining place
and worked, still on good terms with
Wright. Last Tuesday evening Mr..
White was informed OF alleged eX-
pressions, which intimated Condra's
inteI ton to kill him and telling him,
it is said. that Condra was carrying
shotgun for him. "Wednesday eve
ming about 3 or 6o'clock Mr.. n. Web
Der, justice of the peace of Egypt pre-
cinct, came to Mr.. Wrights house.
While he was talking to Mr. Wright,
Mr.. Condra came up, and stopped in
front of where the two men We're.
Condra had Il gun with him. He said
nothing, but remained at Mr.. Wright's
place of business after Justice Weber
had left, He had hardly crossed the
railroad crossing when he heard the
gun tire and turned and went back to
Wright's house. He found that Mr.
Condra had been killed. Mr., Wright
came out and surrendered himself &c
Justice Webber. 1t was found that
Condra had both barrels of his breach
loading shotgun loaded and cooked

that he wanted separation because

Both shots were fired from behind La

kcCook. Neb.. Aug. 2G-On crossing
the Missouri River running to Lincoln,
the Burlington land agents party
found prospect which. from an agri-
cultural standpoint could not be ex-
celled Corn is luxuriant and sturdy
and every stalk shows largo-sizod ears
sticking out from it. 1t is so far nd
vanced that the uninitiatcd could DO
made to believe very readily that it Is
past all harm from any source. Not
withstanding its fine appearance, how
ever. it is not vet out of danger of frost,
and will not be for at least two weeks.
A fine crop OF oats has been reaped in
this section. Much Of it is still in tho
shock and a good deal OF it has been
stacked. 1t is thrashng out from
thirty to fifty bushels to the acre and
will average about forty The wheat
crop has all been harvested. and farm
ers are now busy blowing their land
preparatory to putting in another crop
Of winter wheat.
Leaving Lincoln tho outlook is much
less promising. Between Waverly and
Fairmont a distance Of sixty miles, Is
a stretch OF country which has usually
been described as the garden spoH. Of
Nebraska Crops have always been
abundant here. however poorly they
may have been in other parts of the
state. Last year and this year have
been the only known exceptions to this
rule. Somehow this belt has suffered
severely this year. 1t has rained copi-
ously on all sides Of it and all around
it, but the clouds refused to give it a
drop of moisture until too late to save
the corn crop For a stretch of coun-
try sixty miles long and sixty miles
wide the corn crop is a comparative
failure. 1t will only run from quarter
to half n crop. averaging as a whole
about one-thrd an ordinary crop.
Oats have not faired so badly, They
are thrashing out from thirty-hye to
forty bushels an acre. Heavy rains fell
over this section at the end of last week
They came too late, however, to save
the bulk of the corn. Very much of it
is wilted beyond redemption and a good
deal of it has already been cut for fod-
der Wheat in this section is thrashing
out fifteen bushels to the acre.
West OF Farmont the scene again
changes and an ocean of waving corn,
strong and luxuriant, is to be seen as
far as the eye can reach in every direc'
ton. The crop from Hastings to the
western boundary OF the state is prac-
tically made, and nothing but killing
frost can now blight it, 1t VIII average
not less than sixty bushels to the acre,
and very many large helds VIII yield
fifty bushels,
