DOGS TRAIL TRAIN ROBBERS
Men Who Held Up the Burlington
Train Are Arrested by
Their Aid.

ST. LOUIS. June ga special from
Whitehall, ILL.,, says: Frank A. Ainsworth
and Bill Jackson of Roodhouse are the men
who held UP the fast express on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy road about a
mile north of the depot here last night and
killed Engineer Fred Dempsey. A sherin's
posse was at once organized and blood
hounds belonging to p. Branzell of this
place let loose. The dogs are famous, for
they have trailed and captured many crimi-
nails in this part Of the country. They soon
traced Jackson to Roodbouse, where he was
arrested. jackson told the whole story of
the holdup and Ainsworth was arrested a
few hours later.
The train pulled out Of the station about
Ave minutes late and when it slowed up at
the Chicago e Alton crossing it was boarded
by Ainsworth with a gun in his hand. He
used the usual tactics. crawling over the
tender and calling to the engineer to hold
up his hands. Dempsey evidently did not
understand. He reversed his engine and
7, threw on the airbrakes. Ainsworth began
firing and Dempsey was shot in the body,
falling to the floor of his cab. The fireman
escaped through the front window. A gen
eral alarm was spread on the train and the
desperadoes fed. They wore white masks
and as the one who killed Dempsey left the
train he fired his gun in the air and yelled,
Come on Bill"
The night express is supposed to carry a
local and through safe, and the plan evil
IDENTIFY was to cut off the express car and
to run ahead with it.
The coroner's inquest was held in the city
hall today over the body of the dead en-
gineer. A great crowd was in attendance
and excitement was high. Prominent off
Gals of the Burlington road are here in at.
tendance upon the inquest and no effort
will be spared by the people to bring the
desperadoes to justice.
After the inquest the two prisoners were
taken to Carrollton, ILL.,, and placed in jai
there for safety. The preliminary hearinf
was dispensed with. At Bardstown ant
Whitehall, where Engineer Dempsey is vel
known and liked, the excitement is intens,
and violence to the prisoners is feared

the War.
Wars and rumors of war are stimulat-
ing the brains of the country nowadays to
produce something calculated to annihilatc
innumerable Spaniards. Every conceivable
idea and design bearing on Notifications,
their armament, high explosives, shells and
projectiles are pouring in daily, relates the
Washington Star,
Most of the inventive geniuses state that
they themselves are without the necessary
funds for experimenting with and prosecut-
ing their inventions, and therefore are anX-
ious that the government should examine
their designs and appropriate money for
their Investigations. Uncle Sam, however,
does not generally fall in with these sug-
g~estlons. which is not surprising when one
knows a few of them,
One man conceived the brilliant idea OF
firing from a huge cannon an immense pair
OF shears, which. as they went merrily along
their way, should cut in two whole regi-
ments of the unhappy enemy, But the
Board of Ordnance and Fertilization feared
this might interfere too seriously with the
comfort of the enemy, especially at meal
times. SO this inventor was duly Informed
that his idea did not seem practicable an

could not. therefore, be tested at the gov
ernmCnt's expense with a view to its future
adoption for use in the army. Another al
most as startling scheme met the same cruel
fate-it was called the electrical sword"
In this case the scientific executioner was

soldier with his advanced hn-de-stecle muni-

shock. The enemy disappears in a blaze OF
lightning and glory, leaving only a eharred
mass behind. But why, since an electric
circuit is supposed to have been established
by the crossing OF swords, his opponent
should cheerfully ride of uuscathed with .
triumphant mile on his c~ountenanee. the
inventor saycth not. Possibly some OF the
New York newspapers might; for, having
got wind OF this wonderful invention, they
took IL very seriously. and pestered the de-
partment with frequent inquiries as to how
the invention of the electrical sword was
progressing. Ii reminds one OF a little Joke
during the Mexican war. when the govern
ment had invited suggestions as to the best
method Of armiug n regiment OF laucers
John phenix, with a temerity which nearly
cost him a court-martial, sent a plan and

was suggested. should be deity inserted In
the enemy's belt, preparatory to placing him

ELECTRIC FOUNTAIN, "NAUTILUS."

Notwithstanding the lack OF equipment,
the regiment drills regularly every day.
1t has been found that the climate here
disagrees with horses brought here from the
north and west. Several Of the horses of
Grigsby's command have died and others
are dying daily. The affection seems to
be congestion of the lungs. The horses of
the whole brigade are similarly affected.
Colonel Grigsby's wife will arrive here this
week from South Dakota to visit her
husband.
The trial OF Henry e. Boorman Of troop
II, Sixth United States cavalry, by court

ment. Among the more important supplies
drawn by the regiment today were IL, SOC

II, $50 pounds of fresh bread, 1,500, pounds
of beans, 10000 pounds of potatoes, 5000
pounds of tomatoes, 800 pounds of roasted

subsistence supplies are sold to the men a
wholesale rates and the purchases ar
charged against the pay accounts of tn,
regiment. Lieutenant o. w. McMichael ha
