MASKED MINNESOTANS
HOLD UP AND ROB A GREAT
NORTHERN TRAIN
Considerable Money Secured and the
Robbers Make Their Escape and
Leave No Clue

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. l0.-The
Great Northern through train which passes
through this city at 7:30 p. m, was held up
and robbed about five miles west of here
tonight There were eight robbers in the
gang, all we'll armed. Two of them evidently
boarded the blind baggage in this city.
The train was scarcely out of town when
these two climbed over the tender and, pre-
senting revolvers at Engineer Brace and his
fireman, ordered them to stop at lonely
spot near the Pelican river bridge. Ar
irving at this place the train was stopped
and the engineer and fireman were ordered
to leave the cab. The other members of
the gang rushed from the woods and
boarded the express car. All wore handker-
chiefs over their faces. The gang was reg
ularly organized and went by numbers.
When the train stopped the conductor
and brakeman started forward to find out
the trouble, but the bandits fired number
of shots and warned them to go back.
They then compelled the express messen-
ger to leave the car, and while three or four
stood guard the others proceeded to blow
ope nthe safes. The local safe was destroyed
and it is thought they succeeded in secur-
ing considerable money. The through safe
was drilled and dynamited, four charges
being used. The jacket was blown off, but
it was impossible to reach the inner part
and get at the cash. They worked over it
nearly two hours, holding the train for that
length of time, but gave up finally and
joining their companions on the outside
started south.
The express car had been somewhat
wrecked by the explosion, but the trainmen
managed to get it to Carlisle, where it was
patched up and the train proceeded on its
westward journey. Conductor Smith sent a
tranman back to this city to give the alarm,
but nothing has as yet been heard of him.
Several posses are out, but no trace Of the
robbers has yet been reported.

Quotations From Official Dispatches Are Evidently Considered

the Management Of the War

capture of the Isle of Pines, which was a
smuggling base for supplying food for Ha-
vana; and the harbor OF Nipe, ON the north
coast, as coaling and refuge station for
the navy.
SANTIAGO CAMPAIGN.
Some correspondence is included at this
point to show that General Miles had sought
the cooperation of General Garcia to har-
rass the Spanish troops and prevent rein
forcements getting into Santiago, which the
Cuban general readily promised, regarding
General Miles request as orders. Coming
to the operations against Santiago, the re-
port tells briefly of the landing of the United
States troops and quotes Skaters telegraph
ic account of the battle at FL Caney. Gen
eral Miles then goes into details of subse-
qnent operations, which resulted in the sur
render of Santiago.
RECOMMENDATIONS
General Miles mentions by name specially
the officers of his staff and the general off
GERS engaged, and recommends a small list
of officers for promotion and brevets.
General Miles closes his report with some
earnest recommendations Tor the improve
ment OF the military service. He trusts
the experience Of the last few months will
be valuable to the people and to the govern
ment The value of coast defenses, he says,
has been proved and the system should be
completed without delay. He favors the
adoption of standard of strength for the
army to meet the country's growth and sug-
gests that it he one soldier to evry 1000 popu-
lation, yielding force of 62,759. While
this force is already provided for, unfor-
I'm atol1rt fbA ant hpri zin act rHOnlraS the
army to be reduced to its former inadequate
basis on the termination of the war.
ISLAND GARRISONS
General Miles, in conclusion recommends
the authorization of an auxiliary force of
native troops in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, to be differed by United States
army officers, and not exceeding two soldiers
for one thousand population of the islands
and all of these increases he urges should be
made at once

PARSONS AWARDED S17s.5O.
Referee Lathrope Gives Judgment
Against Caramel Company.

An award of S17S.5O in favor of the
plaintiff was given in the report filed
yesterday in Prothonotary Copeland's
office by Attorney w. w. Lathrope, as
referee in the suit of Calvin w. Par
sons against the Scranton Caramel
company, which was in business, but
is not any more, on Capouse avenue.
Mr.. Parsons sought to recover pro-
fessional services rendered in design
ing a caramel cutting machine. The
mechanism when placed in operation
did not meet the expectation of Messrs.
w. w. Van Dyke, A. l.. Collins and f.
d. Freas, of the Caramel company. Mr..
Parsons pressed his demand for pay
r:ent and contended chiefly that there
was no stipulation that payment
should be contingent upon the machine
doing its work in manner satisfac-
tory to the defendants
Mr.. Lathrope states that there was
no implied warranty that the machine
woulC fulfill it's purposes, but there
was a warranty that Mr.. Parsons
would use his best skill and Judgment
i'm designing the cutter. Mr. Lathrope
holds that this latter fact has been
established and entities the plaintiff to
his claim Of $50 with interest.

TRANSFER REFUSED.
Interesting Case That Came UP Un-
der New Laws of 1897 Re-
garding Transfers.

Judge Archibald yesterdayx refused
to transfer the license of c. z. Connol-
ly, of the Second ward of Olyphant.
1t was an interesting case inasmuch as
it was the first one that came up in
this court under the new act of 1897
relating to liquor license transfers.
Prior to 1897 the court could not trans
fer a license from one location to an
other, but could transfer it from one
person to another.
The new law permits the court to
transfer from one location to another
in the same ward or township when the
building for which the license has been
granted has been wholly or partially
destroyed by fire or when the lease eX-
pires while the license is in force and
the landlord refuses to renew it.
In Mr.. Connolly's case the building
was partially destroyed by fire on July
I and on the July 81 was renovated
and repaired for occupancy. But on
July 21 Mr.. Connolly made a lease with
w. j. Schubmehl for a house around
the corner, and under the provision of
cense transfer. His attorneys were
Martin and Vidaver.
Mrs. Mary A. McNichol, owner of
the building for which the license was
granted employed Attorneys Carpenter
and Fleitz to oppose the transfer, and
upon a presentation Of the facts be-
fore the court Judge Archibald ruled
that the rebuilding had been done
so quickly as to bring the case outside
the pale of the new act.
