An interesting lawsuit was heard be-
fore Justice Kendall on Thursday at the
City Hall. 1t was the case of julius
Flagstad against Day Co. and was for
the board OF August Crum, for four
weeks. Crum who was sick and penni-
less was taken in and cared for by
Landlord Flagstad but this bill was re-
iected by the County Commissioners
hence suit was begun. Attorney j. Fl.
Mccoy appeared for the plaintiff while
the county's interests were looked after
by Attorney J. Fl. Lund. A jury trial
being demanded, a jury was impanelled
and after hearing the testimony and
arguments rendered a verdict for Flag
stad of $685. 90. The ease will probably
be appealed.

The official count of the vote oil
South Dakota has been completed
and certificates of election issued to
the successful candidates. The dem

the Governor, Attorney General, and
Railroad Commissioners; the renub-

Commissioner of School and

of instruction. This interesting
political mosaic is answer enough to
the pop charges that the republicans

SANTA CLAUS ROBBED.
Train Robbers Run Off with Many
Christmas Gifts.
TRAIN GREW TAKEN BY SURPRISE.

At the Scene of Jesse James Exploits n
Band of Masked Men stop the Train and
Speed Away with the Express Car and
Locomotive.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 24.-Blue Cut. made
historic through the operations of the
James and Younger bands when they
were pioneers in the train robbing indus
try, was the scene last night of its fourth
holdup by road agents. At 9.20 o'clock
the st. Louis and Chicago express was
tagged at Blue Cut and came to a stand
still. Masked men Immediately covered
the engineer and fireman and compelled
them to get do wn from their cab
At the same time another member of
the bandit gang uncoupled the express car
from the rest Of the train. The robbers
climbed aboard the locomotive and the ex-
press car, and before the surprised train
men had time to collect their wits .he ban
dts were speeding down the steep grade
beyond Blue Cut with the engine and the
express coach, and Express Messenger A.
II. Fryer of St Louis q prisoner in the
car.
Kansas City officials of the United
States Express company state that the
train carried very little cash, but the car
was filled with an enormous amount of
miscellaneous express of great value.
Christmas boxes made up a considerable
amount of the treasure. AS to Express
Messenger Fryer, all the officials will say
is that he heavily armed, and is dead
game" but they admit that the chances
are against him.
When the robbery became known at
Independence posse of county officials
set out for the scene of the holdup, and at
midnight County Marshal Keshlear was
arranging to send out force of officers
from Kansas City,
AT o'clock this morning a telephone
message was received from Glendale stat
ing that Engineer E. d. Meade and his
fireman had arrived there. Immediately
after the robbery they set out towards
Glendale in search of their locomotive.
They found their engine dead in cut a
mile east of Glendale. with the express
car, but the report says nothing about the
fate of the express messenger. Engineer
Meade is reported to have said that there
were three robbers, and that he identified
them as three. of the men who held up the
train two months ago.
1t was at Blue Cut in 1881 that the
James gang held up a Chicago and Alton
express train and made one of the biggest
hauls in the history of train robbery. A
few years lator another big train robbery
was committed at the same place, and
two months ago, ON Oct 23, the third hold
up of the Blue Cut occurred. The men
who planned the robbery in October were
local novices, and got nothing. Two mem
bers of the gang have since been arrested,
and are in Jail, Their accomplices arc
known and are fugitiyes.
Though Blue Cut is less than fifteen
miles distant from Kansas City, it is a
wild and unsettled section and an ideal
spot for such outlawry. 1t is deep cut
through solid rock, and except in broad
daylight is almost as dark as a tunnel.
For long time it was patrolled day and
night, but afew years ago, after theibandit
gangs about there were supposed to have
effectually broken up, the guards were
| withdrawn.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English Scientist,
Considered the Best start in Life.

What Huxley the Great English Scientist,
Considered the Best start in Life.
The great English scientist Huxley, said
tho best start in life is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly
because they lack the proper quantity OF
digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and
peptogenc products; the most sensible rem
edy in all casos of indigestion, is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets because they supply in pleasant,
harmless form all the elements that weak
stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trou ii, except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full sized package.

Vera Cruz and had valuable cargo and
some treasure aboard. She encountered q
norther on the night Of the llth, but got
through till the afternoon of the next day
all the time working westward to Vera
Cruz. One accident after another occurred
to the rigging finally making it impossi-
BILE to live in the enormous seas. With al
most all her sails torn away the Jamaica
returned and attempted to get back to
to Campeche but without success The
rudder became disabled, throwing tho YES
sci ut the mercy Of the storm.
he passengers took to the boats, which
were repeatedly swamped. Most of the
crew simply put on life preservers and
jumped into the sea. The captain was one
Of these. He strapped 100 Mexican dol
lars upon him and, clinging to a barrel,
tried to reach shore. The survivors saw
him sink, owing to the weight Of the
metal The sight was a terrible one as
one passenger after another sank, the
boats proving unmanageable. The sailors
were all drowned, and only three men
and a boy escaped of the passengers. The
vessel sank soon after she was abandoned.
The wreck occurred off the port Of Dos
Rosas, Tabasco.
