THREE MASKED MEN
HELD Up A TRAIN
Engineer Signaled to Stop by
Red Lantern and Express
Car Was Cut Off.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 16.-A special to
the Star from Mena, Ark, says: about
2:45 o'clock this morning the southbound
passenger train No. 2, on the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, was held up
by three masked men at curve about
a mile south of Shady, 1. T. The engineer
was signalled to stop by red lantern, and
on bringing the train to a stop, guns were
levelled at him, and the fireman was COM
manded to go back and cut off the ex-
press car.
Then they all entered the cab of the
engine, one of them being familiar with
the engine, and ran the cars down the
track couple of miles, where they went
through the express and mail cars, secur-
ing considerable booty, the exact amount
of which is not known as the express COM
pany will not give out the amount of it's
loss.
d. II. Patterson, express messenger for
the WellS-Fargo company, will not talk,
he being under Instructions from the COM
pany to say nothing, but the robbers got
all there was in the car. When the train
came to stop, Conductor Sullivan paid lit
tie attention to it until shots were heard.
Shortly after the fireman came back an
nouncing a hold up.
He then went back to the sleeper and
consulted with the conuuctW ABOUT hlulng
their valuable, which they hid away in a
lot of towels under the washstand. 1t was
about an hour before the engineer return-
ed with the other cars. The robbers did
not go through the passenger coaches:
The United States marshaPs office at
Fort Smith, was notified and posse sent
at once to the scene to take the trail of
the robbers, and it is likely that they will
be captured
Houston, Tex, June 16.-A special from
Paris, Tex, says: Late advices say Joe
Tate, John Burns and Joe Peterson have
been arrested at Poteau, l. T., after a rum
ming fight of half mile for completely in
the robbery of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf train last night near Poteau.
They were taken to Fort Smith tonight.

The Nurse GirIWas Given a Sen
tenCe of Four Years.
VERDICT REACHED IN 5 MINUTES
Carrie Jones Turned States Evidence
and Told All the Details of the
Plot-Mrs. Barrows Yet
to Be Tried

New York, June 16,-George Beauregard
of Marion Clark, the infant daughter OF
Arthur Clark, of this city, was today SEN
fenced to fourteen years and ten months
Imprisonment.
The trial, which was begun on Wednes-
day, when Bella Anderson or Carrie Jones,
the tool of Barrow and his wife, gave her
evidence for the state, was concluded with
testimony intended to establish the pre-
vious good character of the defendant.
The summing up by counsel was very
brief, when the case was given to the jury
with few words of instruction from the
bench. The jury, after being out about
five minutes, rendered verdict of guilty !,
and sentence was passed as above
stated.
Carrie Jones Gets Four Years
Carrie Jones, who pleaded guilty, was
sentenced to four years imprisonment.
The trial of Mrs. Barrow, as her husbands
accomplice, will follow.
The trial has attracted more interest in
New York than any since the famous
Moore-Strahan case, when Moore and his
wife were charged with badgering Martin
Mahon the rich hotel proprietor
The wide publicity given the case
through the papers, and the exciting incl
dents of the kidnapping and subsequent
location of the child, together with the
confession of Carrie Jones, the nurse, who
was a tool in the hands of the Barrows,
all led to this result. Carrie Jones' con-
fesson was one of the most interesting
features of the trial. She was the star
witness and the larger part of last We'd
nesday was taken up by her testimony.
Barrows Had Scheme
An officer brought her in from the Tombs
when court opened Wednesday, and pale,
wretched-looking, her eyes fixed on the
floor, she made her way to the witness
stand Her slight form was clothed In a
dress of gray checked material, and over
topping her white face and black hair was
a coarse straw sailor hat.
She said She was born in County Mayo,
Ireland, on December IA, 1877. Her mother
brought her to this country when she was
8 years old, and they went to live at Short
Hills, N. ]. In January, 1898, she came
to New York and worked as a waitress in
the Mills hotel No. 1. There she met Mrs.
Barrows, who was employed in a similar
capacity. She left the Mills hotel for
time, but returned in January last. 3
81 had worked there about seven weeks
when 1 was taken sick, and Mrs. Barrows
asked me to go to live with her at No.
10 Varick place." Bella Anderson testified.
st had visited her twice before that, but
did not know her husband. 1 remained

ROUSSEAU ACCEPTS TASK.
He Will Form a New Ministry For
France.

Paris, June Ex-senator Pierre Waldeck-
Rousseau has accepted the task of con-
strueting a cabinet, M. Del Case having
declined
1t is believed that most strong pressure
was brought to bear upon M. Waldeck-
Rousseau, who arrived today from Toulon,
but as the socialists and radicals virtually
dopminate the situation, no combination is
likely to be long-lived. M. Poincare COM
plains bitterly that he offered every pos
sible concession to the radicals, but they
wanted, he says, to have everything in
their own hands. He declares that he has
had enough of cabinet making and will not
be in a hurry to return to the task.

Uxening
.oss than forty-eight

L.ueed, he conducted chapel exer-
cises yesterday morning as usual, though
he was then i'll.
DIR. Meek had been in i'll health for sew
eral months, but remained at his post with
a rare degree of fortitude. He died as he
desired-in harness-in the university
faculty, where he had served since 1858.
Though i'll during a greater part of this
term, he had not missed his classes, and
his work for the present year was COM
pletely rounded up. He had even held his
examinations as usual.
These were finished on Wednesday, and
his was the first of the professors re-
ports handed in.
It had been his custom to hold morning
prayers in the chapel for the past twenty
years. In that time he had not missed
but once when in the city. Yesterday
morning he insisted on performing his
usual duty against President Powers pro-
test, and he was taken in carriage to
the chapel. He then went to the faculty
meeting and arranged his part OF the
commencement programme. He then ex-
cused himself and went home to the bed
from which he never arose. He trained
the seniors who will speak Wednesday.
Was Born In Tuscaloosa
Dr. Meek was born in Tuscaloosa Sep
tember 20, 1886, and was graduated from
the University of Alabama In 1854. The
degree of LII. d. was conferred upon him
by the University of Mississippi in 1S7s
He was connected with the State univer-
sity as assistant professor of ancient lam
guages from 1868 to 1865. From 1868 to 1870,
inclusive, he was professor of ancient lam
guages in Weleyan university, Florence.
He accepted the present position In the UNI
versity of Alabama in 1871
Prominent Methodist
DIR. Meek had been superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday school here for twenty
five consecutive years, and was appointed
a lay delegate from the North Alabama
conference to the Methodist Ecumenical
conference at London. He was president
of the Alabama Educational association at
the time of his death.
All social gayeties, such as the presi-
dents reception and university reception,
will probably be declared off. Only the lit
erary and business parts of the programme
will take place as expected. The funeral
services occur Sunday afternoon in Clark
hall.
Gentle and cultured, DR.. Meek's influence
has left it's stamp upon the mind and hearts
of thousands of the sons of Alabama. WI.h-
out exception the faculty and students are
sorey stricken, as will be thousands OF
others at the intelligence of his death.

REIGN OF TERROR
IN KENTUCKY
Governor Bradley May Call Leg
isIature Together to
Find Relief.

London, KY, June 16.-A state of terror
exists in Clay county. The people of Man
chester are accustomed to shooting, but
are not accustomed to such preparations
for warfare as are going on among the
Howards and Whites, while out on Crane
Creek the Baker clans, aided by the Phil
pots are assembling. report was cir
culated here last night that James Howard
was shot, but it Is untrue. The Howards
nor Whites cannot leave Manchester
unless they do do in force. The
Howards and Whites are now on
the defensive. The Bakers have Man
placed few men at protected points on the
several roads. What Is now expected is
the entrance of the Bakers into Manches-
ter. 1t Is more than likely that bushwhack-
ing will continue under the former plans.
Frankfort, KY, June 16.-Governor Brad
ley Is contemplating calling an extra ses-
sion of the legislature for the relief of
citizens where reigns of terror exist such
as has recently been caused by the How
ard-Baker feud.
Petitions have come from many counties
for relief in Harlan Bell and Clay counties,
but the governor has no power to declare
martial law or to issue a call without nee
esary authority Governor Bradley has
been considering today not only the condi-
tons in Clay and other counties, but also
his inability to take radical action, and has
concluded to appeal to the legislature.
Middlesboro, KY, June 16.-In another
collision between the Lee and Taylor fac
tions on Puckett's creek Harlan county,
man named Speeder was shot. A party
composed of Harlan county citizens are
on their way to the scene of strife, and
will beg the fighting mountaineers to re-
turn to work.

The Steamer Lydia Thompson Runs
Ashore at the Entrance to Obstruction
Pass.
The mail steamer Lydia Thompson
met with another serious mishap about
four o'clock last Saturday morning,
on her regular run from Whatcom.
She was proceeding at her usual speed
aud was just entering the pass between
Obstruction island and Orcas, near
Olga, when she ran hard upon the
rocky shore of Obstruction island. only
few yards from the government hight,
which was burning SO dimly that Capt.
Kruger and Fred Hall ,deckhand both of
whom were in the pilot house, the
captain at the wheel, mistOOk it for a
lantern carried by some one on shore.
But when it became visible it was too
late to change the steamers course
sufficiently to enable her to escape the
disaster. The engines were quickly
reversed but it was only an instant or
two before the staunch little steamer
was hard upon the rocks, unable to
move with her own power. About
daylight Purser Keay, with two deck
hands to row, left for AnacOrtes to
telegraph the vessels owners the news
of the wreck and ask for tug. If the
Discovery had been OH her usual run
from Whatcom she would have been
due at Obstruction pass about $50, but
she came from Seattle to Friday Har-
Dor and Roche Harbor before going to
Whatcom and reached the scene of the
disaster only half an hour or so before
the arrival of the powerful tug Sea
Lion, which had been sent from Port
Townsend The tugs hawser was
soon fastened to the steamer and when
the tide was at its hight, about 4
o'clock, twelve hours after the accident,
an effort was made to pull her off.
The haweer soon parted and by the
time it was spliced the tide had lowered
so that it was necessary to wait until
about O'clock before making another
trial. Again the hawser parted and
the tug left for Port Townsend for an
other, returning in time to make the
third and successful trial about 4 O'clock
Sunday afternoon. The steamer was
tOwed to Port Townsend, arriving there
about midnight, and all the passengers
for points beyond East Sound were
transferred to the substitute steamer
Evangel, at. 6 O'Clock Monday morn
ing. The Lydia was then taken to
Seattle and placed on the ways at the
Moran ship yard for repairs. Her in
juries are not considered very serious
and it is expected that she will be back
on her usual run in few days. Her
shoe was shattered and nearly knocked
off and the keel considerably dam
aged, and though there were no holes
knocked in the hull some of the seams
must have been opened as she leaked
so that it was necessary to keep the
pumps working constantly on the run
up-Sound.
There were about twenty passengers
aboard when the steamer left Whatc0m,
several of them going to East Sound.
They were sent on their destination i'm
small boat Sunday morning. Of the
passengers who remained aboard all
speak in the highest terms of the treat
ment they received from the officers
and crew of the steamer during the
thirty-six hours upon the rocks and
the even less agreeable experience of
the night tow across the strait to Port
| Townsend.
