SOME ASSORTED HoLD-UP STORIES.
One Is Told of an Iowa Town-Another
Happens I'm Indian Territory.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 8.-Three col
ored desperadoes armed with a shotgun
and two reviewers held up the mining
town of Marquisville five miles north
of here Saturday night. They walked
into the pool room and calling on fifty
miners TO hold up their hands one Of the
party went through their pockets. The
miners had just been paid, and quite
sum was taken, but ii is not known just
how much. After the robbery the des-
peradoes strutted around town and
gloated over their work for few min
utes. They fired many shots, but no one
was hurt. They are still at large and
no trace has yet been obtained of them.
Wichita, Kan, Nov. S.-Bud Wilker-
son. an Indian Territory desperado, in
augurated a new system Of highway
robbery when he rode into Derwood,
i. T., levied a 50-cent per capita tax on
the citizens and proceeded TO collect
the same at the muZZle of a rifle. He
tied his horse in front of drug store,
and without attracting attention sta
toned himself In a stairway adjacent
to the store. The first man who
happened was quietly commanded TO
halt and dig up a half dollar" The
request eInpndsiIeu WITH the gun was
complied with and the modest sum de-
manded left the victim In doubt as to
whether il was a joke or genuine hold
up Wilkerson would order his man to
move on and await the arrival OF the
next victim. The operation was re-
peated many times during the day, and
in each case the party held up would
keep mum about his experience. hoping
that his friends would fall into the same
trap.
Boise. Ida, Nov. s.-News was re-
ceived Saturday night to the effect that
the mail between Meadows and War
rens was robbed by masked men. The
registered letters were rihed II is not
known how much money was secured.
Warrens Is a flourishing mining camp
and IL is supposed that considerable
currency is sent in the mail.

was received by Chairman Nash. of the
Republican state committee, with evil

decision had a significance which could
not be expressed, inasmuch as IL put an
end to the talk Of other contests on the
same grounds.

State Supreme Court Decision Of Vast In

Little Rock. Ark, Nov. S.-The SUI
preme court of Arkansas Saturday
handed down a decision which is of the
greatest interest TO the public in gen.
eral, as well as TO the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers in particular. 1t
Is well known the locomotive engineers
are all employed under a contract by
which seniority of service gives priority
Of right To employment, so that when
slackness Of business demands that one
or more engineers shall be discharged
the last engineer employed shall be the
first dismissed. One of the senior en-
gineers having been discharged he
brought suit on the ground that he was
discharged without cause and in viola
ton of his contract of employment
IT was conceded that his contract gave
him the right TO quit at pleasure. and
the court denied his right to recover
on the ground that no contract can be
valid that gives only one party thereto
the right to terminate II. The court
holds that the right TO rescind or ter
inmate contract must be mutual The
decision is far-reaching. affecting as it
does organized labor of all classes work.

wood, Indian Territory.

Denver, Nov. S.-A special TO The
Republican from Albuquerque, says:
The No. 2 passenger train of the Santa
Fe Pacific, which was held UP at
Grants station Saturday night, reached
the city at 1880 yesterday morning.
Conductor Aldrich states that just as
the train came to a halt at Grants
fusillade OF shots rang out on the air,
and as far as he could see several men
boarded the train, one on the engine.
He and Engineer McCarty were on the
platform, but ran and caught the train
as il was moving out the fireman, Hen
ry Abel, being compelled at the point Of
cooked revolver to pull the train up
TO the stock yards, about two miles dis
tant. The conductor left the train at
the stock yards where the robbers had
ordered the train stopped, and ran back
to the station, telegraphing the news
to Division Superintendent Hubbard at
Gallup and Sheriff Hubbell. In the
meantime. however, the robbers (who
wore false boards and were unmasked).
cut the mail coach, day and chair
coaches and the Pullman sleeper from
fireman was again ordered to pull the
latter further UP the road.
Blew Open the Express Safe.
They commenced dynamiting the *
press car and the third explosion blew
out ore end of the car, Abel being
forced TO assist the robbers. Once IL
side they picked out the safe which
they surmised contained considerable
money and valuables and placed on IT
stick OF dynamite, few Jumps OF coal
on the dynamite, and then attached
fuse which they lit and blew a hole in
the safe. They helped themselves to a
number Of packages containing gold and
silver coin. which they placed in sack
and then left the car, going In the d.
rection of the Malpoi ricks, where their
horses were picketed. The express car
was on fire and Abel thoroughly fright
ened, and after seeing the robbers at a
safe distance he backed the engine and
express car into the other portion of the
train left standing at the stock yards.
and in consequence the express car, day
coach and chair car were telescoped
and all three destroyed by fire.
Richest Treasure Left Behind.
Express route agents who went out
10 the scene have returned. They state
that the robbers did not get the most
valuable safe which, with two others,
was badly warped and damaged by fire.
They think, however, that the robbers
secured several hundred dollars but the
exact amount will not be known
for some time, as all the pa
pers and records of the car and
safe were in the fire. The baggage was
all removed before the fire got under
Roadway, and was saved. The passen-
gers were not molested. The robbers are
thought to be several desperate cowboys
who are familiar with that section of
the road. A posse of officers is in pull
suit of the bandits.
