Two Freight Robber. in Jail.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VALPARAISO. Ind. April A.-Two Of the
gang of freight-train robbers who have been
operating on the Grand Trunk and Lake
Shore roads between South Bend and Chi
cago for several years are inmates of the
county jail here and will have TO answer to
the United States government. The rail-
roads have spent q large amount of money
in trying to break up the gang. but of no
avail. Saturday night two colored men from
South Bend were captured in a freight
car on the Grand Trunk, where they had
been locked up by the train crew. The
Grand Trunk hauls a great deal of bonded
freight and these men had broken open
one OF the cars loaded with freight and
sealed by government officials In Canada.
They were heavily armed when captured
and offered resistance to the officers. Mem
bers of this same gang shot a Lake Shore
detective at FurneSsville. this county, two
years ago. Their plan OF operations is TO
break into a car and while running between
stations throw the freight from the car,
where others of the gang gather III up with
a wagon and take 1t to headquarters. Rail-
road officials estimate their stealings during
the past five years at more than 100000.
These men will be turned over to the gov
eminent officials for trial.

NOT LYNCHED By MOB.
Will Harden Assnssinated by His
Guards in an Jail.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. April 24-Governor
Jones to-day received a letter from Sheriff
Maddox, of Van Buren, county, in regard to
the lynching of Will Harden, at Clinton,
last Sunday morning, which puts an entirely
different aspect on the case and indicates
that, instead of the prisoner having been
lynched by a mob Of fifty men, as at first
reported. he was deliberately assassinated
by one Of the two men who had been placed
on duty at the Jail to guard and protect the
prisoner. Sheriff Maddox says that the jailer
and the guard were the only men inside the
Jail that night. The Governor believed ii to
be a clear case of assassination and has
written to Sheriff Maddox, directing that
steps be taken at once to prosecute the par
ties believed TO be concerned in the crime.
