THREE SUSPECTS.
Are Under Arrest and Are
Likely to be Charged
With Robbery.
Special to News-Democrat.


Chicago, Oct. 14.-Three suspects were
arrested at South Amherst this morning
in connection with the train robbery
last night Scores of detectives are
securing the country in search of others.
Rain fell during the night and Sheriff
DAIMLER said he would have little trou-
BILE in following the robbers. An esti-
mate by the express officials this morn
ing places the loss at from $4,000 to
$4,000. The officials declare that the
robbers missed the real prize. Had
they waited for the through train which
followed the fast mail they might have
secured over $4,000 to $4,000. It is
also stated that they overlooked the
safe which contained the most money
in the car which they attacked That
they went about the job of looting the
express car in hurried manner is
further shown by the fact that over
$500 in currency was found beneath the
wreck.

he will be all right for the senator,
but, HamilI himself has given no sign.
In Carroll county, broken as the For
aker phalanx has been by Hanna's
methods, 1t is ready to build up again
and be stronger than ever. Intimations
are not few that the election returns
will be surprising to the administration
contingent on the night of November
z. All this gave the Democrats hope
when they nominated Joe Lawler for
state senator and William Brown for
representative. With two candidates
on the legislative ticket Carroll county
Democrats are in better fighting trim
than they have been in years. Lawler
Is editor of the Democratic organ, and
has long been a power for the party.
Brown was candidate for county COM
missioner a few years ago, and missed
election by only so votes in a county
which usually gives 900 Republican
majority. He is a sturdy sensible farm
er, respected by everyone and he will
make Hamill, the Hanna candidate
hump himself as no Republican eandi-
date has done in many years.

DEFEAT OF RUTAN.
Has Incensed His Friends---The
Democrats Are Hopeful
of Success.

A Carrollton special to the Enquire
says: Since the defeat of ID. o. Rutan
by Hanna, the Democrats of the Car
roll-Harrison Legislative District have
strong Republican division. The Hanna
and anti-Hanna factions in Harrison
county are lighting, but making their
bitterness in hypocritical display
of harmony. The old Foraker con-
tingent is proclaiming allegiance, but
covertly is seeking to regain local
control. Hamill who was put up by
the Cadiz milliopaires to defeat the
honest and fearless Rutan, has never
declared his fealty to Foraker for a
second term, Hamill's friends declare
