BOLDTRAIN ROBBERY
On the Southern Pacific al

The Westbcund Southern Paclfit
train was held up about midnight o.
Saturday at Cochise station, in that
most favored hold-up locality. When
the train stopped at the station, Elk
press Messenger Adair opened the door
of the car to throw out the box. His
attention was diverted from his duties
by man covering him with a gun
and saying, Come down you -
-" That wasn't Mr. Adair's name,
but without stopping to prove a case
of mistaken identity he came down .
Messenger Adair is the man who shot
and killed a bandit in that vicinity last
spring, but this was no time for shoot
ing. While he was standing there
with his fingers pointed at the stars
in the zenith another man approached
with the fireman and the engineer
with their hands elevated in a good
Imitation OF Messenger Adair's STYLE
1t was so late that few Of the passeng-
erS were awake. Some of these few
got out to stretch their legs and see
ing the three men with their arms in
the air thought they were signalling
the engineer. Those who approached
toe closely were ordered back into the
car with profane and violent language
The bandits ordered the train cut
in two back of the express car and one
mounting the cab with the engineer
and fireman and the other getting into
the express car with the messenger
ran about mile and half down the
track
All had been done so quietly that
the passengers in the sleeper and rear
day coach were not aware that any
thing unusual was happening. Even
these asleep in the front coach were
not awakened. and those who happen
ed to be awake were only apprised Of
it when the few passengers who had
gone out and had been temporarily
held up, returned white and nervous.
Among the passengers on the train
were Messrs. G. w. Brown, F. w.
Sheridan, b. A. Fickas and C. W.
Pugh returning from the organization
OF the grand lodge Of the a. o. Z. W
at Silver City, N. NJ Mr.. Brown was
one Of those who saw the express mes

thought he was making motions to
the engineer Mr. Sheridan was
nearer and knew what was going on.
in few minutes the passengers
heard dull explosion, followed later
by louder one. In about an hour
and half the fore end of the train re-
turned with the top blown out of the
express car. The engineer described
what had happened in the meantime.
When the engine was brought to a
stop one CT the robbers ordered the en-

MRS SAM JACK TALKS.

Brother

Chicago, Sept 1O-The strange
clause in the will OF tna late Sam T.
Jack, the amusement promoter. where
in he made the request that his widow
marry his brother, James c. Jack. has
been the cause of much speculation
among the theatrical people and
amusement patrons generally since
Mr.. Jack died. AN doubt as to the
state of mind OF Mrs. Jack on this
proposition is set at rest by the state
ment made by her last night The
widow Of the late theater cwner is par-
haps better known tc the public under
her stage name CT Emma Ward. She
declares emphat:cely that she will
never marry James Jack, nctwtth-

band.
The will of the late Mr.. Jack made
Z division of the property between the
widow and the brother and made the

NOT ALWAYS PROSPEROUS
Parry Payne. The CoIOred Sport, Was
Once a Sheep Herder.

| Parry Payne, a notable colored sport
of the town, was at the ball game yes
terday He was accompanied by his
little red cap which he wears on all
occasions of note, as well as a bread
smile He bet S25 on the ball game
lionaire, but if he had lost he would
feel just exactly as circumstances i'm
PEELED him to feel-like he only had
$3.50. He runs a crap game at the
Roma saloon and his bank roll
amounted tc $27. Il is not neces-
sary to employ calculus in order to as
certain how much money Parry would
have left if the ball game had turned
out differently.
Parry was not always prosperous.
True, he followed up the pay days of
the Cherokee Indians for five years,
and he and his partner lived a life Of
luxury during that time. But there is
an end to all things. He was COM
PEELED to go into another business, so
he chose the minstrel show business.
At this he was a dismal failure, and
few years ago he stranded in Arizona.
He felt acrimonious toward his fellow
men and himself, and decided either
to shake humanity or go crazy. He
chose the latter and concluded to be
a shepherd. He was employed in this
capacity al ST. Johns, Ariz His boss
instructed him to be very careful in
the discharge of his duties. He had
been in the habit Of employing shsap
herders. he said, and discharging them
within two weeks because they permit
ted sheep to get lost.
Parry followed the instructions,
watching his herd night and day. In
fact, his eyes were never diverted
from the sheep during the day, and at
night he slept in the corral with them.
He kept up this process for three days
and on the fourth day while he was
out with his herd he> got sleepy He
went to sleep and when he awoke
few hours later there was not a
sheep in sight. He searched sfor them
in vain, and finally approached his
employer with a determined lcok upon
his face.
How do you like my work?' he
asked.
why. fine replied the boss. Il
was just renlarking to my wife how
well you did your work. I've been
watching you closely and am pleased
to say you haven't lost a sheep"
We'll" said Parry at length, eff
you like my work and you want me to
stay, you'll have to get me another
herd of sheep"

IRON AND STEEL SHORTAGE
Canadians Placing Orders With
Firms in Scotland.

Montreal, Sept. 1O.-Building opera
items in this city and elsewhere
throughout the country are practically
at a standstill on account of the scar
city and high price OF iron and steel,
while the Grand Trunk and Canadian
Pacific railways are from two to five
months behind in their work because
of delay in the delivery Of structural

bridge iron and rails contracted for
last autumn
The scarcity has CAUSED consumers
to place many orders with Scotch
firms. A number OF years ago Belgian
and German structural iron was used
largely in Canada but the product of
the Pittsburg mills had replaced that.
In discussing the matter Phelps John
ston, manager of the Dominion Bridge
company, said:
THE consumer demanded the iron,
and when he found that it was i'm
possible to get it for immediate de-
livery he offered bonuses. That is the
reason why 1 say that the consumer
and not the producer is responsible
for the increase in the price of iron.
For instance, take our own bust
ness In 1897 we handled little over
5000 tons Of iron. Last year tbs amount
ran to $1,000 tons, and this year. since
the first of January. we have handled
as much as We did all last year. About
one-half of cur entire business is in
bridge IRON
Where is this bridge iron ussd p
principally by the railway COM
panies. The Grand Trunk company.
for instance, has used since the pres
emit management came into Office in
1886 something like 10000 tons of
bridge iron The Canadian Pacific
company uses on an average 1900 tons
of bridge iron each year. The bridge

How to Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of la grippe. Dur
ing the epidemic of la grippe a few
years ago when so many cases re-
suited in pneumonia, it was OBJ
served that the attack was never
followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. II is the
best remedy in the world for bad
