ROBBERS ARE BEING RUN DOWN
Union Pacific Train bandits Gamma,
Evade Capture

Omaha, Oct. 16.-It is believed that tn,
scouts who are looking for the robbers
who held UP the Union Pacific train near
Ogden, Wednesday. are close upon their
trail. Chief Canada of the special SER
vice bureau, received telegram from one
Of the searching party saying that he had
good reason to believe that something
would develop within short time. The
dispatch was sent from that country last
night. Another telegram was also re-
ceived saying that $791 worth of checks
and drafts had been found in a place
where the registered mail pouches had
evidently been opened. The robbers must
have opened the pouches soon after leav-
ing the train. for the drafts and other let
tiers of no value to them, were found in
corn field not far from Ulntah Some
Of tho railway officials are inclined to be-
lieve that the robbers, after opening the
mail pouches, worked their way back 10
Ogden and are now In hiding there or in
Salt Lake City.

"She can not brook such a threat over

A NOVEL PLAN OF CAMPAIGNING
st. Louis POpuIists VIII Use sixty
Wagons.

st. Louis, Oct 1S.-Some of the populists
in this city have awakened to the fact
that they have not been as active in
the campaign work as the needs of the
hour seem to demand, and if recently
developed plans carry, they will from
now until the eve or election strive to
make up for all that has been lacking
heretofore. The plans consist of ''wag-
on campaign of the entire city. The
campaign will open next Tuesday even
ing. when the citizens of the city of
Choteau and Broadway will be addressed
on the financial question, irrespective of
politics, by able speakers from a wag-
on. The number of wagons will be in
creased as fast as competent speakers
can be obtained, until they number go,
ana the people will be addressed at that
number of places all over the city every
afternoon and evening until November
j. Each wagon will be plentifully sup
piled with literature touching on the fin
ancial issues, and this will ge circulated
TO all who evince a desire for informa-
ton.
Harrison Drummond, the well known
TOBACCO manufacturer, has offered the
use OF all his wagons, and enough more
nave been secured to insure the full num-

don't want to pay their taxes. My friends,
l have not besitated to express my opin-
ion of the man who wants this govern
ment to protect him and does not want
to pay his share to support that govern
ment. / have said that the man who
wants the protection of this government
and yet is not willing to pay his share
of the taxes does not deserve to live in
a government like this"
A voice-How about free trade?
Mr.. Bryan-Free trade? Did you say
that? Laughter.) Do you believe in pro-
lection?
a voice--I don't know.
Mr.. Bryan-Well, IL you don't know
you are mighty good man to be at
this meeting, my friend. But will tell
you about the tariff question. If the men
who want protection will join with me
In putting a prohibitory duty on foreign
financial policies, 1 will discuss the rest
Of the tariff schedule with them. Great
applause)
''Or, will tell you that if they are not
willing to do that 1 will wait until after
the money question is settled by inter-
national agreement. and then we will
submit the tariff question to international
agreement (Applause.)
Tn this campaign a democratic free
trader and a democratic reformer like
John G. Carlisle can help elect repub-
lican, and when that is possible in them
the protectionists and the tariff reform
ers who believe in free silver can unite
and settle the money question, and we
will settle the tariff question afterwards"
Short Pauses at Minor Places.
Detroit, Mich, Oct. 17.-There were stops
of an hour at Bay City, 10 minutes at
Vassar, the same at Lapeer, five minutes
at Inlay City, 30 minutes at Port Huron,
and 10 minutes at Mount Clemens. AT
Bay City, while the crowd was one of
the largest of the day, it was not as en-
thusiastic as many of the others. There
was a good sized assemblage at Vassar
and at Lapeer and Inlay City. while in
Port Huron Bryan spoke to an audience
of several thousand.

today was argued the application of q. G.
Russell OF this county for restraining order
10 prevent the county clerk from giving n
place on the ticket to several members OF ali
parties who were endorsed by a meeting called
the convention of the silver republicans The
latter were members OF a club known as the
silver republican club. who after the county
convention nominated ticket not entirely suit-
able to them made up ticket of their own
out Of the nominees of all parties. They asked
for place for it on the ballot under the
silver republican party designation, under
which heading the name of CONGRESSMAN
Charles S. Hartman appeared. The contention
OF the applicants Is that the members of the
so-calted silver republican party participated
In the primaries OF the regular republican par
~. and the law provides that no elector shall
participate In the nomination OF more than
one man for the same office.
The Importance OF the case lies In the al
legged discovery by the silver men thar n
conceals plot to get Congressman Hartman
on the ticket. Leading lawyers from ali over
the state were present at the hearing The
geld republicans have no hope of electing their
man unless by some method they can inyaIi-
date the position on the recent ticket of his
only opponent. Mr.. Hartman. Testimony was
taken today and the supreme court will hear
