THAT DYNAMITE SCARE'
Paris Police Laugh at the At
tempt to Connect Fenians
and Anarchists.
Object of the Story Is to lnflu-
ence the French to Sur
render lyman.

LONDON, Sept l7.-More attention is
being paid to the details of the alleged
dynamite conspiracy than any other
subject, not excepting the situation in
Turkey Those who do not participate
in the horror professed by the authori.
ties over the diabolical details of the
plot which they are claiming, with SEN
sational impressiveness, to have un.
earthed find sufficient entertainment
in the expression of their scepticism.
1t is a notable fact that the police
authorities of Paris express great scorn
for the idea that there was any connec-
ton between any plot that
lyman May Have Concocted
and an attempt upon the life Of the
car. The elaborate talk Of collusion
between the Fenians and the cont.
mental anarchists and Russian nihilists
is laughe- at in Paris, although the
authorities at Scotland Yard are using
this story as much as they possibly can
in order to influence the French to sur.
render lyman. The suspicion is broadly
limited that the story Of lyman being

BRISK TRADE IN BONES.
Digging Prehistoric Skeletons Becoming
Quite Business in South Dakota.

Digging Prehistoric Skeletons Becoming
Quite a Business in South Dakota.
Sioux City, a., Sept. 16.-Since the
recent visits to the South Dakota Bad
Lands of number of Eastern scientific
expeditions in search of geological in.
formation and specimens of prehistoric
animal and plant life of the region,
brisk trade in such articles has sprung
up among the residents of the region.
A number of persons are devoting them.
selves exclusively to the search for val
liable bones and fossils and not few
important finds have been made. AS
the discoveries invariably command
good prices the new calling is proving
a remunerative one and will probably
continue so until the supply of curiosi-
ties is exhausted.
Several mastodon's teeth of extraor-
dlnary size have been unearthed within
the past few weeks. The finest speci.
mems of this kind have been found TINS
far along the banks of streams near the
South Dakata- Montana line. Reports
have been received also of the discovery
of at least two skulls of the clothere, a
species of giant hog. Several bones of
the same animal have been found in
the vicinity Of Pine Ridge and one en-
terprising prospector is making vigor.

Alleged Dynamite Conspiracy Nearly

KANSAS CITY; Sept l7.-According
to a local paper, the arrest of lyman
and Kearney, the dynamite conspirators,
is verification of the statements made
years ago by Captain Thomas Phelan Of
this city, that the two noted prisoners
were members of an Irish dynamite
propaganda, which had headquarters
in this country Phelan was the first
man, it is said, to mention the name Of
kearney as an active dynamite fulmin.

Captain Phela,1. who is broad.
swordsman OF note. was at the time a
city official in Kansas City. He went
to New York at the time of the Fenian
excitement and finally to Europe, in
search OF information relative to the
movement of themen connected with
the plots then existing. He became ac.
quainted with Kearney and to him
Kearney told of his intention to place
an internal machine on the Atlantic
steamer Queen. set to explode two
hours after the steamer should reach
Liverpool Phelan con1ided the infor.
nation to the queens officials and
later told of the occurrence to New
York paper and implicated Rosa. This

| Arrests Expected Over the Inspection
Law Fight.
DULUTH, Sept. 17.-When the Great
Northern begins its inspection of grain
at Sandstone in the morning the strug-
gle over the constitutionality of the
Wisconsin inspection law will begin.
1t is expected that the Superior board of
trade will cause the arrest of many
Eastern Minnesota employees, and it
may proceed by injunction. The posi-
tion taken by the road is that this grain
is in transit from Minnesota or North
Dakota points to Duluth, and that Wis
consin has no right to molest it because
it chances to pass through it's territory,
and that to do so is a violation of the
interstate commerce law. It is claimed
that the fact that the grain is trans
ferred to an elevator in Wisconsin gives
that state no more control of it than it
has of merchandise in cars bound from
one state to another through Wis.

THE FRISCO ROBBERS.
Bloodhounds Will be Put on Trail
James Talks.

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-Bloodhounds
will be placed on the trail OF the
Frisco train robbers. The booty
is officially stated to be $l,252. So
far 800 has been recovered. Frank
James, a brother OF the famous
bandit, W hen asked his opinion OF
the robbery, finally said:
"When a man engages in the
train robbing business he is badly
in need of money and will take
desperate chances to secure it. All
this talk about some men having
no sense OF fear and especially
when they are making raid on a
train is all nonsense. L have been
in some pinches and there were
times when 1 realized fear, but
there was nothing to do but to
fight my way out.
81 am opposed to train robbery
and the only way it will ever be
stopped is to have armed guards
on every train. Two or three would
be sufficient, but they should be
we'll armed and encased in steel
cage Of some kind. The cars should
have port holes through which the
guards could command a view Of
the outside. One point in particu-
lar they should keep in view and
that is the space between the en-
CINE and the express car. This
space should be watched for num-
Der of reasons. First, because the
robbers could uncouple the express
car from the rest OF the train, and
with the engine pull it dow n the
track and blow everything up with
dynamite. Second, IL the robbers
were aware OF the guards presence
in the car, and could get to the
coupling, all they would have to
do would be to pull the car from
the rest OF the train, pull short
distance away and reverse the
lever coming back on the rest of
the train with such force that the
guards would be killed. Until
these plans are carried out robber-
les will continue. The Sleepy Hill
job was done by men who know
their business, but as | am not in
that business and never have been
| do not care to discuss that job
any further. This will say, that
the times when l was credited with
being in several train robberies |
was miles away, hauling logs"

BANKS AND BANKERS.
Attempt to Wreck a Train.

KANSAS CITY, April 3.-An at
tempt was made last night to
wreck the Chicago and Alton
passenger train which leaves here
shortly after s o'clock for st. Louis
and Chicago. Just outside of Grain
Valley, 25 miles east Of here, the
engineer saw an obstruction on the
track. He stopped his train quick
ly but not in time to avaid the de-
railing Of his locomotive. A pile OF
ties had been laid across the track
and the rails loosened. The stop
ping Of the train quickly, was all
that prevented serious accident.
Believing that a train robbery had
been planned, guards were at once
put out, but the train was not mo-
Tested. 1t was over an hour before
the wreck could be cleared. 1t is
thought here that robbers had cal
culated on a bad wreck aud that it
was their purpose to loot the wreck
during the confusion which would
have followed. Six weeks ago a
similar attempt was made in the
same vicinity.

INSANE MAN SHOT.
Jumped From the Cars, Pursued and
Shot by Some Fool.

ELLIOTT, Ill, April When the
Lake Erie and Western passenger
train passed through this place
yesterday, a man fell backward
from the steps Of one OF the cars,
striking his head on tie. Appar-
emily crazed by the blow, he got
up and told those around him that
some men were going to kill him,
and started to run across the fields.
A number of persons started in
pursuit. He soon turned, and,
drawing a revolver and holding
the crowd at bay. fired several
shots, hitting no one. He then re-
sumed his flight and, entering the
stable Of John White, took horse,
which he mounted and started on.
By this time the crowd was
largely increased. At another
stable the man changed horses.
Riding on he was obstructed by a
barb wire fence, when he dis
mounted and resumed his flight
afoot. Soon afterward shots were
fired at him by members OF the
pursuing party, and he was hit in
the knee and head, captured and
taken to a farm house where his
leg was amputated, The unfortu-
nate man died late last night. His
name was John Franklin, and his
home at Fort Recovery, Ohio. He
had been en- route with his wife to
st. Louis. His wife was taken
sick at Bloomington, and they
turned back and were returning,
when he fell from the steps OF the
train. Today, it was learned that
Franklin, while insane, had previ-
ously leaped from the east bound
passenger train Of the Erie, at
Holden, near Bloomington. Search
was instructed, and after two
hours without success, the train
went on, leaving Mrs. Franklin.
They both took trains east.

A rumor is in circulation here to

The rumor is so persistent that
the following ministerial denial
