Der weakened and told the operator at
Goshen of their plans. The sheriff's Of
fee was notified and officers boarded the
engine at the next station. When the
robbers appeared on the tender they op-

killed. Under Sheriff Earl Rugget was

For several days Sheriff Merritt has
known that train robbery was contem-
plated. Yesterday he received informa-
ton that train twenty, going north,
would be held up between TuIare and
Goshen, SO he sent Deputies Vic Reed
and Earl Daggett to Goshen and took
! two others with him to Tulare. He had
wired o. j. Meade. special officer of the
railroad company, who came south on
20 and joined forces at Tulare. The Off
GERS left town quietly, one at the time,
but they were evidently watched, as the
gang at Goshen got word that the off,
GERS had left town. Daggett and Reed
got Cd the engine of train 10, and
crouched down in the coal watching for
sigEs of the robbers on each side OF the
track. About q mile out of Goshen a
man climbed over the rear Of the tender
and covered the engineer and fireman
with rife held in one hand and a re-
volver in the other. He ordered "hand
up" When the officers turned he saw
them and opened fire with his revolver.

DENVER, Colo. March 19-Ihe Times
special from Washington says: A con-
ference between the republican silver
senator's, who voted against taking up
the tariff bill, and republican manufac-
turers is to take place in this city this
afternoon. A majority of the manufac-
turers who will be present are from
Pennsylvania. They represent many
millions OF capital and include the
principal contributors to the republican
campaign funds in the recent presiden-
,ial campaigns. The conference grows
partly out Of the stand taken by five
senators on the tariff bill and their
refusal to allow that bill to be consider
ed without provision for silver being
made and partly out of the awakening
Of manufacturers to the fact that the
manufacturing interests Of this country
are in great danger from silver using
countries, like Japan, China and Mexico.
tariff alone will not afford them all the
relief they must have. Consequently
they have sought conference for the
purpose of ascer;aining whether there is
not some common ground upon which
the manufacturing interests and silver
advocates can unite. They realize that
nothing can be done for tariff without
the aid OF the silver repu blicans.
