A TRAIN ROBBED.
Bandits How Open Express Conn
pRny's Strong Box In Arizona.
and Secure R4O,OOO.

Benson, A. T., Sept. 11.-Four masked
men held up Southern Pacific train No.
10, west-bound, at Cachise station,
shortly before midnight, blew open
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S throughmoney
safe with dynamite, took the treasure
it contained and escaped TO the noun
tains. The robbery was the boldest
Of all the famous train robberics of
the west. Not shot was fired and
no one received the slightest injury.
Cachise station is a lonely place on
the alltali fiat, ten miles west of Will
cox, and 32 miles west of Benson. The
station, freight house and section
house form the only relief to the mo-
notony of vast rolling plain. Just
as the train stopped at the station
the four masked men appeared. One
mounted the engine cab and covered
Engineer Richardson with revolver,
while two stood guard at the side door
OF the express car. The fourth guard
ed the coaches and sleepers from a
point at the rear of the express car
One of the two men that stood at the
door of the express car jumped aboard
and ordered "Iands up" He then told
Express Messenger Adair to leave the
car. As Adair jumped TO the ground
the other bandit searched him for arms.
IN hip pocket he found S25.
That's my private property" said
Adair.
"You may have it; we don't want your
money" said the bandit.
The man at the rear of the car un-
coupled il, and at signal the en-
gineer was ordered to pull out. The ex-
press care was taken westward a mile
or more, then the through-express safe
was thrown out to the ground and
blown open by dynamite. All bills and
gold were taken. Messenger Adair re-
fused to say how much the safe con-
tanned, but it is estimated that the sum
was exceedingly large. One railroad
man expressed the opinion that the
strong DoX mIgnt nave contained close
to 100000. Several thousand silver dol
lars in the car were untouched by the
robbers. None Of the passengers were
moested. After the contents of the
safe had been taken care of the un-
known quartette allowed Engineer
Richardson to run back to the train.
Then they disappeared on foot to a
point where their horses were tethered
and rode away.

occurred yesterday at Marseilles and
Belfort after the verdict of the Dreyfus
court-martial was published. The DEM

ques Dreyfus, brother of the con-
demned, at Belfort, breaking the win
dows and otherwise damaging the

Rennes, Sept. II. Dreyfus has

The crowd outside the court soon
greeted the verdict with cheers for the

emotion, did not utter a word and
marched back to prison like an automa-
ton.
Dreyfus' Last Protest.
At the conclusion of speeches by NJ.
Demange and Maj Carliere, Col. Jou-
aust, president of the court, asked
Dreyfus if he had anything to add in
his behalf. The prisoner rose and in
voice choked with emotion declared
he had only one thing to say. but of
that he was perfectly assured. He said:
II affirm before my country and before
the army that am innocent. My sole aim
has been to save the honor Of my name,
the name borne by my children. have suf-
fered five years of the most awful torture.
But to-day, at last, feel assured that /
am about to attain my desire. through your
loyalty and justice"
Col. Jouaust-Have you finished Drey-
fus?
Dreyfus-Yes. Mr. President
The court then retired to deliberate,
and the prisoner left the hall, never to
return, as, in accordance with the law,
the verdict was rendered in his alb
sence.
Verdict Rendered.
The ringing of bell announced the
entry of the judges. an officer ordered
Garry arms" and present arms"
the rattle of rifles followed, and then
Col. Jouaust marched in, saluted, and
laid his KEPT on the table. The other
| judges did likewise, the gendarmes
shouted "Silence," and the stiffness of
death fell on the audience who were
waiting heart in mouth for the an
nouncement of Dreyfus' fate.
Col. Jouaust then began reading the
judgment, which opened with the ques-
ton referred to the judges by the court
of cessation: WAS Dreyfus guilty of
entering into Vaccinations to send
secret documents to a foreign power?"
He then gave the answer that the court,
by majority of five to two, found Drey-
fus guilty.
The gendarmes then closed around
the audience and pressed them outside.
Not cry or word was raised by any
one.
Everything passed off with perfect
calm.
As the people emerged The gendarmes
kept them moving away from the court.
The small crowd of people outside
cheered for the army, but the gem
darmes did not interfere and there was
not the slightest disorder.

Dreyfus Appears Unmoved.

The judgment was read to Dreyfus in
an adjoining little room by the clerk
of the court, NJ. Coupois. Dreyfus lis
tened impassively, did not Civ the
slightest sign of emotion, did not utter
word, and marched back to prison
like an automaton.
1t is understood Dreyfus will be sent
to Fort Corte, in the island of Corsica.
A large crowd, which the police kept
moving, waited around the square in
y, Itch the telegraph office and the prin-
cipal cafes are situated When the peo-
pie learned the court had been out an
hour it was argued that this meant a
disagreement in favor of Dreyfus. The
first indication to these watchers that
a result had been reached was when
soldier on bicycle came tearing along
as fast as he could from the Lycee to-
wards the artillery barracks.

Expects to De Released.

He is convinced that the ten years
Imprisonment to which he is sentenced
will be wiped out by the five years of
solitary seclusion he has undergone on
Devils Island, and he expects to be re-
leased by October 10, which will be five
years from the date of his former con-
demnation. He is so sanguine that he
has made an extraordinary request of
his wife for novel to read in the mean
time, explaining that his mind is so
shaken and weighed down by recent
events that he needs to divert his
thoughts and try to get all the recollec-
tions of the last three months out of his
mind. He thinks that reading a novel
will afford the desired mental repose
and keep him from brooding.

Dreyfus Holds Up Well.

Rennes, Sept. 1l.-Dreyfus passed a
quiet night and rose when his orderly
brought him water at five o'clock Sun
Cay morning, just as he did during the
trial, when it was necessary. Nine.
Dreyfus and Matthew Dreyfus, his
brother, visited him during the course
of the afternoon, his brother subse-
quently leaving for Paris. The applicu-
tion to the court of revision was taken
to him at noon by Maitre Labori's as
sistant and he signed it. He has spoken
but little, though he has seemed in bet
ter spirits than might have been antci-
pated. The meeting with his wife was
naturally very affecting, but both held
up as well as possible.

The GRAPHIC regrets to announce the
death OF Mrs. Margaret Ryan, formerly
of this place, at the home Of her
daughter, Mrs. Thos. Griffin in Salem on
the 21st ult. at the advanced age OF
eighty-two years. She was n Of the
pioneers Of Kimball, coming here in 1872.
She leaves four children, two Of whom
are we'll known to Kimball people, viz:
J.B. Ryan Of Sioux City, and Miss Mag
gle Of Salem. She was @ true Christian
woman and passed away peacefully.
One Of the most severe hail storms in
the history of this locality prevailed here
about six o'clock Wednesday evening.
Tho hail which came first from the south
east and then south was accompanied by
a heavy rain. Many Of the hail-stones
which fell thick and fast for about
fifteen minutes, were as large as hen
eggs and loft their marks plainly visible
on the sidewalks, or whatever in the
way OF wood they happened to fall on.
Scarcely a house in town but what had
two or three windows broken, and at
several places as high as fifteen or twenty
were demolished. Had the storm been
accompanied by a high wind the grow
ing crops would have been utterly wiped
out; as it was the damage will probably
be light.

The Glorious Fourth.

The Fourth was an ideal day to cole
brate on, neither too hot nor too cold,
and Kimball people spent it as they
usuallydo-some at home and some in
neighbo1ing towns.
Probably the largest number OF Kim

all trot; Geo. Siddon's "Fear-not" won the
farmers trot; and Henry small's "Mike'

Kinsella won the 1OO-yd foot race in
which there was eight entries. The
street parade was very good. The day
closed with a pleasant dance In the
evening.
At Pukwana there was q large crowd
and the sports were first class. ThefbalI-
game between Chamberlain and Gam
Valley was won by tho former. Aa
usual, the characteristic push andleltergy
of the place showed itself IN making a
good time for everyone.
At Glen a very pleasant celebration
was had, and a Goodly number were
present from the surrounding country.
Ex-senator ]. s. Stewart ofsthis city, was
the orator Of the day, and he delivered

The ball game between the Fauston add
