FRANK JAMES IN A NEW ROLE

Express Officials Want to Employ Him te
Guard Their Gold.
ST. LOUIS, May I1.-Frank James as
guard on express trains carrying
large amounts of money or valuable
is one of the novelties the express
people are now arranging. Negotia-
tions have been in progress for several
weeks. and the probabilities are the
contract will be closed within a few
days. The effect of James name, in
view of his former proves in
robbing trains himself, is what
the express companies are aiming
after. They do not know, they
say, that he could stop a determined
robber any more than one of their OVID
messengers, but they think the ordi'
nary train robber would hesitate to
tackle him. James is willing to accept
the position and guarantees that nc
train in his charge will be robbed ex
cept over his dead body. with one
single provision, and that is that the
express people put up bond of $50, 600,
this amount to go to his widow in case
of his death.

A FOOLS WORK.

He Rocked g Boat "Just for Fun" and Two
Were Drowned
CHICAGO, May 11.-Michael Welsh's
gaiety led to his own death and that
of a girl companion and also jeopar-
died the lives of two others who were
riding with him in boat Saturday
afternoon. The four. persons were
Welsh, Mary Berry. Maggie Calder
and Dan Morrison. The boat capsized
and Welsh and Miss Berry were
drowned, while Morrison succeeded in
saving himself and Miss Calder, who
is his sister-in-1aw. only after an ex-
citing struggle in the water. The
overturning of the boat was due, it is
said, to the hilarity of Welsh, who
persisted in rocking the craft in fun.

-Puck's Editor Dead.

Kansas City, May I2.-The strike of

This step was taken today at a meet
ing Of the Industrial council. The trou-
BILE between the fireinen and the Armour
company was laid before the council
yesterday and was referred to its griev-
ance committee for adjustment. The
committee met Superintendent Tourte-
tot, of Armour's, today and again sub
mitted the mems demands. The com
pany refused to recede from their posi-
ton and when the result was reported
to the council, the boycott was decided
upon and 3 full report of the grievance
of the firemen was dispatched to the
national headquarters at Indianap polls.
The order of boycott will be spread
throuh the different local labor lodes.
When formally issued the Armour COM
pany will, it is said, fight the boycott
by an injunction in the federal court
Upon showing of the foregoing facts
by representa- ives of the Armour com
pany in the federal court this after
loon, Judge Phillips granted tempo
rary injunction against the striking
fremen, the officers and members of the
Industrial council of Kansas City and
the officers and members Of the FEEDER
ated Trades council, restraining them
from carrying out the proposed boycott.
The matter is set for hearing on We'd
nesday next.
1t is stated tonight by sympa thizers
with the strikers that the boycott has
already been ordered and has been op-
erative since last Friday night.
