A HOLD-uP THAT FAILED.
A Deputy Marshal Was Aboard and He
Killed One OF the Bandits.

Albuquerque, N. M, Oct 5.-An
attempt was made tonight TO hold up
passenger train No Q, of the Atlantic
q Pacific, due here at S:45, just as it
was leaving Rio Puercio bridge, thirty
miles west of here. The attempt was
failure, owing to the prompt action
Of United States Deputy Marshal
Loomis, who shot one of the robbers
dead and made it so uncomfortable for
the others that they fed. Rio Puercio
is only pumping station with a tele-
graph office, in charge of the pump
man.
While the train was standing at the
station, it was boarded by three masked
men. who compelled the engineer to
unoouple the engine and express Car
from the train and run them ON to the
bridge. The pumpman at once sent
word to this city and the Atlantic 81
Pacific company sent special train
with officers to the scene. At mid
night, the train arrived at Albu-
querque.
Conductor Sam Hesdy states that
when the train reached the Rio Puer-

in the engine was out of gear, but he
though he could go up the divide. The
conductor thought not, and just as the
engineer was about TO fix the pin three
masked men jumped on the engine,
when shooting commenced. A Ian
/ tern was shot out of the hand of the
brakeman, after which the engineer
was told to uncouple the enigne and
the express car from the train.
Deputy United States Marshall
Loomis, who has been in Arizona on
the trail of the Southern New Mexico
bandits, was ON his return to the city,
and he left the smoking-car when the
first shot was fired. He took deliberate
aim ut one Of the robbers. shooting him
through the head. The man ran for
100 yards and then dropped dead. The
otLer robbers retreated TO the Malpais,
where their voices calling their com
rade could be heard.
Conductor Heady states that Loomit
remained at Rio Puercio, expecting
the robbers to return for their deat
comrade, while Cade Selvy, special Sc
cret service officer of the railroad
who was on the train, met the posse o
officers at Atlantic and Pacific Juno
tion, and returned with the party t.
Rio Puercio.
The hold-up was a failure financial
ly, the robbers securing no money
Loomis thinks that the hold-ups are tn
same gang that robbed the Separ post
office few weeks ago, and have beel
, terrorizing Southern New Mexico, an
that the dead robber was the leader.

i6-year-old daughter of Matthew
Brohmer. may be brought into court on
a writ of habeas corpus II her younger
brother, now demanded by the parents,

ter he had left his wife and home, and
finding that her rebukes had no effect,

ciled. Rose, however, declined to be a
party to the reconciliation, and, taking
her little brother, lived alone, defy.
ing them to interfere with her.

Weapon.
Astoria, Or, Oct. 5.-This afternoon
the grand jury returned an indictment
against County Judge Gray on charge
of carrying concealed weapon. The
complaining witness was John Stephen
son, one of the witnesses for the de-
fense in the case of the Uniontown

heated argument between the county
judge and Stephenson. The latter.

to intimidate Jacob Jackson. the prin-
oipal witness against the alleged
rioters. Hot words followed, and
Judge Gray exposed a six-shooter.

PHILANTRoPISTS INTERESTED
Secretary Carlisle Is Investigating the
Matter, and viii Exercise all
Leniency the Law Allows.


Washington, Oct. 2.-The attention
of Commissioner Stump, OF the emil
grant bureau, was today called to the
movement looking to the colonization
in this country Of Armenian refugees.
Commissioner Stump said Secretary
Carlisle and himself had been fully
advised of snoh movement, and va
rious appeals had been made from
Lady Henry Somerset, Frances Willard
and English and American relief as.
scciations, asking the &C. operation OF
the government in furnishing these
stricken people an asylum in the United
States; but. while the sympathies of all
good people must be aroused in their
behalf, of course the government must
enforce the laws as they exist. The
matter was being investigated, and II
any lawful means could be found, they
would be exercised in behalf Of the
refugees. The law on the subject,
however, strictly prohibits the landing
in this country of all persons likely to
become pnblic charges, and also ANY
person whose ticket or passage money
is paid for with the money of others, OF
who is assisted by others to come in. y
Lady Henry Somerset, it is under.
stood, inquired whether bonds would
be received that these Armenians would
not become public charges. A reply
has been sent that the department can
not accept bonds, except under specia
circumstances, after thorough investi
CATION of each individual case.
1t seems probable the law puts an in
surmountable obstacle in the way of re
lief in the manner proposed.

STRUCK IRON BY ACCIDENT
A Chicago Man Makes a Valuable Dis
coyery.

cOvery.
Chicago, Oct. 5.-Iron in unknown,
but presumably large quantities, has
been discovered in the sand on the lake
shore off Waukegan. A gentleman
while strolling along the shore at the
place threw small magnet on the
sand. When he picked it up little
back specs adhered to it. The owner
of the magnet made hasty examina.
tion of it and then hurried to notify
the owners of the land Of his find.
For years the sand from that point
has been used for plastering in Chicago
and frequently the predominence of
"black sand," as the iron grains are
called, caused it to be thrown ont on
account of its great weight and dark
color. A quantity of the iron grains
were separated from the sand by a
magnet and sent to an assayer. He re-
ported that the iron was 50 per cent
pure and was of first.class quality.
