MURDEREKS BEHIND THE BARS.
Tells of the Plan to Rob the
Burlington Train.

OaChSOh ItlS oI tue Ran 10 KIDD the
Burlington Train.
William p. Jackson, one of the muir
derers of Engineer Frederick Dempsey.
made an open confession at Whitehall
on being arrested, as stated in Satur-
day nights ARGUS. He said:
."Ainsworth asked me to hold up
the Chicago, Burlington l. Quincy
train, and we talked it over several
times. | was to %uncouple the en-
press car, etc, from the passenger
car and sever the bell cord. and he
was to do the rest. | was to get on
at the Chicago e. Alton crossing in
Whitehall. | did not get on; thought
it over and thought it best not to do
so. | did not see him get on the
train, but after it left he was not
there, and | went up the Chicago &
Alton track. heard two pistol shots
about half a minute apart. | ran
towards home, but crossed to a field
near a graveyard. In dividing the
money Ainsworth was to paw me
what he owed Inc and pay me what
he thought best. When captured
was up a tree for fear of the dogs.
We went to Whitehall for the pur-
pose of holding up and robbing the
express car" A Whitehall special
says:
The boys after killing the engineer
got scared and left. The train backed
into Whitehall. and bloodhounds were
set on the trail and tracked the boys
to this place. Jackson was found
perched in a maple tree, where he
was tracked by the hounds. He made
a full confession. and told where Aims
worth would be found, to which place
he was taken by the sheriff, offering
no resistance to the officers.
''Ainsworth at first claimed they
were only stealing a ride, when the
engineer turned the hot water on
them and he shot, with the above re-
suit. Youn. Ainsworth's father, w.
II. Ainsworth, is among the best citi-
zens Of this place and conducts one of
the largest dry goods stores in this
city.
The boys are both - wears of are
| and have resided in Whitehall all
| their life, and were o considered to
be bad characters. Ainsworth was
conducting a small lunch room and
Jackson was his clerk.
'.Jackson's father and mother are
dead. He has two brothers, Andrew
and Elmer. All three have the repu-
tation OF being Industrious"
The coroner's jury returned a yer,
diet holding Ainsworth for the muir
der and jackson as his accomplice.
The defendants waived preliminary
examinations and we're locked up in
the Carrolton county Jail. The CON-
} plant against them was sworn u by
w. G. Besler. division superintendent
of the Burlington.

been running it since, attempting to
get their unpaid salaries out of it.
Yesterday was their last game. Hence
the association again became disor-

and pay of its debts while it could.
The Quincy club was so notified and

50 FARM AND DAIRY. g
Luck in the Dairy.

There is one place where luck does
not count, and that is the dairy. You
cannot produce good butter by acct
dent neither do cows give their richest
milk to the man who stands at the door
and waits. Fortune does not knock at
the door of the COW man, and wait for
him to come out and welcome her. He
must make his own tide of fortune, and
90 it by hard, intelligent work. Luck
does not influence the yield nor keep
the bacteria from Uainting his milk
Luck will not produce Elgin prices for
his butter, nor keep his cows in good
condition The saying. 'all things
come to him who waits" does not apply
to the dairyman, True, he may gather
up miscellaneous lot of things by
waiting, .but they are not
the things he wants He will find all
the Ills that dairyman can possibly be
heir to, fall on his devoted head, if he
trusts to luck and don't hustle.
