perplexed over the case Of Edward
Gilroy, bartender, and Seraphina
Silva, a Mexican woman, who are ac-
cused of having robbed visiting
Catholic priest from Kansas City OF
$1,000 Sunday night. The clergyman,
small, misunderstanding man, declared
himself to be Father NJ. J. Walsh, of
Kansas City, when he reported his loss
to the police. The priest accompanied
Gilroy to the Silva woman's place Sun
day night, and, while under the infiu-
ence of drugs, he says, was robbed OF
sl,520. After discovering his loss he
hurrie to his room at the hotel and,
giving way to grief and despair, locked
himself up until yesterday, when he
gained courage and reported the mat.

A telegram from Kansas City says:
The supposed priest is evidently at
tempting to conceal his identity by
giving II false name. as there is no cler-
pyman in Kansas City of the name OF
NJ. j. Walsh Faith er James 7. Walsh,
of the Church Of Our Lady of Good
Council, is at his home, 3O9s Washing

A Shrewd Engineer on the "katy' Defeau
the Plan Of hight Robbers
MUsKoGEE, |. T., Sept. lO-A daring
attempt was made last night to hold
up the southbound passenger train on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
at Bond, |. T., flag station 30 miles
south of here. The engineer in
charge of the locomotive was John
Ragland, an old and trusted en-
ploye, who had been held up several
times before. He proceeded to obey
the signal, but when his engine was
within 100 yards of the signal he no.
ticed several men standing near the
tracks and at once suspected their pur-
pose. Opening the throttle, he sped
by them as though no signal had been
given. The robbers, having been
foiled in their attempt to stop the
train, fled and are still at large.
