the following which fits our case to
''T': Fish down into your pocket and

Henry is on the hog train and Tuck is

turn 'em loose and whistle and We'll
haze better times; there will be fewer

we'll make the paper better if we had
half chance. Don't give us that old

and at y Lonely Spot in the Mountains.
OMAHA, June 3.-Just before day
light yesterday, and in the midst of q
drenching rain, four masked bandits
held up Union Pacific train just be-
yond Wilcox, Wyo., blew up the ex-
press car with dynamite, severely
wounded the engineer and escaped into
the mountains with their booty. The
robbery was one of the boldest that has
occurred on any western railroad in
years, but, according to the statements
OF the local officials of the express COM
pany, the plunderers' obtained only o
nominal reward for their exertions. A
posse of well-armed and determined
men, headed by the sheriff of Carbon
county, is close on their trail and it is
not believed that they can escape cap
ture and punishment.
The robbers boarded the train at
Wilcox, where No. is due at 2:09 a. m.
AS the train reached the bridge the
robbers crawled into the cab and with
leveled weapons ordered Engineer Jones
to pull across and stop on the other
side.
Other members of the gang were at
work in the express car, where heavy
charge of dynamite was placed to blow
open the safe. just as the engine
pulled off the bridge there was tre-
mendous explosion that drove the rem
nants of the express car 100 feet in
every direction, stove in one end of the
mail car and knocked out number Of
the strlngers OF the bridge. The wounds
received by Engineer Jones were dealt
by the flying missiles scattered by the
explosion. 1t did not take the robbers
long to complete their work. The ex-
press car was knocked into kindling
wood and the big safe was open and
ready for their fingers. They quickly
snatched its contents, signaled to their
confederates on the engine and before
the passengers and the remainder Of
the Train crew knew what had happened
they were scurrying away toward lib
erty.
Conductor Storey says that the rob-
bers tagged the train With red and
white lights. There were six in the
gang.

COLUMBUS, o., June s.-The Re-
publican state convention yesterday
nominated Judge George K. Nash, the
favorite of Senator Hanna for governor,
and ex-Congressman John A. Caldwell,
the favorite Of George B. Cox for lieu
tenant governor. with the other five
nominations distributed among those Of
less distinctive party affiliations. What
was generally called the Hanna Cox
combination controlled large majority
OF the 8lS delegates but it did not exer-
else it's power beyond the nomination
OF Nash and Caldwell. The conference
at which Senator Hanna, Mr.. Cox and
others reached a mutually satisfactory
decision did not conclude until an hour
before the convention assembled. 1t
was all over then with Mr.. Daugherty
and other candidates.
Guilbert and Huffman were nomi-
mated for second terms without opposi-
ton. When some of the delegates
raised the cry of 'sslate" George B. Cox
himself was the first to break the slate
by changing the SO votes of Hamilton
which he had cast on the first and Sec
ond ballots for Judge Hull for attorney
general, to James NJ. Sheets. Judge
Hull had been generally considered as
sure winner. as he had been slated.
In this case the antitrust. as we'll as
the anti-slate element. cut quite fig
ure. The only other place in which
the slate was broken was in the nomi-
nation for supreme judge. The incum-
bent, Judge Bradbury, was candidate
Tor third term and he was opposed on
that ground, a. well as on the cry Of
''slate.'
Isaac B. Cameron, the successful con-
testant for treasurer of state, was, gen.
orally credited with being on the slate,
and he secured the Hanna Cox vote.
Outside Of the unusually animated
contests for the nominations the feature
Of the convention was its universal en-
dorsement of President Mckinley.
When the plank ''commending the
president for the judicious modification
Of the civil service rules recently
promulgateu" was read there was a
very enthusiastic demonstration.
In presenting the name of Mr.. Daugh-
erty Mr.. Holcomb Of Cleveland said he
& hoped the convention would tolerate no
dictation. And when Mr.. Daugherty
was called out after the nomination of
Judge Nash. the defeated candidate
said among other things, that he hoped
that he would at least be allowed to
live as private citizen in the Republi-
can ranks. Outside of these remarks
there were none of the sings common
at conventions, and which were fire.
