THE GANG HAD A FALLING OUT.
Two WOuId-Be Train Robbers Are
Caught and One Fatally Shot.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 1S.-B. p. Car
penter, car accountant of the Wabash
railroad, has brought to this city the
details of an attempt to. wreck and rob
the Baltimore & Ohio southwestern
passenger train on the culvert between
Odin and Salem, III. Carpenter said
three men were involved, and two were
caught, one being fatally shot. The
robbers are residents of Salem. and
were known about the village as hard
characters.
Abe Tweed, the robber who was shot.
was put on parole from the Chester
penitentiary; Thomas Schumacher, the
other man captured, is an ex-convict
from the Indiana penitentiary.
These two men, with the one who es-
capped, and a fourth, banded together
not long ago to do general business
planned to hold up the New York ex-
press on the Baltimore & Ohio south
western the men had difference and
broke up in row. One of them told
Sheriff Barnes, upon the sherin's prom

| to wreck and loot the train, but did
not know the date and place selected.
| Returning to his former pals, he said
| he was sorry he had left them and beg
| ged to be let in ON the fat thing they
were about to pull off.
The rogues relented. took back into
their fold the deserter, and then pro-
ceeded to lay bare the plot. The night
express was selected as the train likely
| to yield the best haul, and the Shenaf-
| felt culvert, between Odin and Salem,
was picked out as the best spot.
All day Wednesday the three men
hauled railroad ties to the trestle.
About o'clock in the afternoon, the
man who peached, who by some pre-
text was excused from the days work,
reported the situation to Sheriff Barnes.
The sheriff collected posse of six men
and started from Salem along the
track. About 1870, when they came
near Shenaffelt culvert, the three rob-
bers could be seen, and almost in the
center of the trestle was high pile
of ties thrown across the track. The
wreckers were gathered on thesside OF
an embankment Barnes and his posse

STRIKE OF FABULOUS RICHNESS.
Wire Gold Rock Found in the Fa-
nous Gregory Mine.

Denver, June 16.-A strike of fabu-
lous richness has just been made in
the ninth level of the Gregory-Bobtail
mine at Central City, Gilpin county,
this state. The real value of the ore
cannot be learned, as the operators of
the mine refuse to divulge it, and have
placed an armed guard at the mine,
but it Is known that the vein struck Is
two feet in width and is so full of wire
gold as to run many thousands of dol
lars to the ton. What makes the find
more interesting is the fact that the
Gregory was the first lode mine opened
in Colorado, and has been worked con-
stantly for the past 38 years. 1t was
the announcement of Gregory's find In
the gulch that was afterwards named
for him that produced the rush to Col
orado in 1859. The latest strike in the
Gregory is $50 feet below the surface,
and Is said by those who have seen
specimens to be the richest in the mine.
The property is largely owned by heirs
of the late ex-senator Chaffee, being
worked under lease and bond for
$500, 900 by the Gold Coin Miners Com
pany, a close corporation of New York
men.

BURNED TO DEATH BY LIVE WIRE.
Portland Briclxiayer Who Met a Ter

Portland, Or, June 16.-John Poth,
bricklayer, working on a building on
Fourth and Alder, was literally burn
ed to death in midair yesterday. While
climbing from lower to higher scat
fold he stepped on an iron truss and
grasped overhead with his right hand
a live electric wire. Instantly a cur
rent of 5000 volts was short circuited
through his body. His fellow work
men on the scaffold above were too
paralyzed to render him assistance. An
employe of the electric company tried
to get them to release the burning man,
but before anything was done the flesh
and tendons of the mans hand were
burned through to the bone and he feil
to the sidewalk, 40 feet below. His
skull was fractured by the fall.
