The national Lincoln monument was built
by popular subscription. Ex-Governor Rich
ard j. Oglesby was the president OF the asso-
citation which had the matter in charge
Contributions toward the monument fund
came from every city and state in the Union
and from every country in the world. For
years the monument was in charge of an
association of private citizens. There were
no funds for it's preservation and maintenance
and it became necessary to charge an admis-
sion fee to cover expenses. This plan gave
rise to considerable criticism and failed to
bring in much money, and the monument
suffered for lack of repairs. The entire struc-
ure is now in the care of the state, the GUS
todians being the Governor, state treasurer,
and state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. The only funds which they have to
spend in the repair and maintenance of the
mon1alent are those appropriated by the Leg
lslature. -r~ ~. ... a. ..-. .
Plot to Steal LincoIn's Body.
Shortly after the interment of Lincoln's re-
mains in the crypt of the monument the coun-
try was startled by the exposure Of plot to
break into the tomb and steal the emanci-
pator's body. In the fall of 1876 p. D. Tyrrell,
secret-service operator employed by the
government, was informed that conspiracy
to steal Lincon's body had been arranged in
Chicago, and that the job was to be done on
the night of Nov T. At that time notorious
counterfeiter was imprisoned in the Illinois
penitentiary. The conspirators, who were
this mans friends, planned to make his par
don a condition for the recovery of the re-:
mains, and expected in addition to this to
eXtort money reward of at least 5000, 900.
Advance information of their plans, however,
came to Tyrrell, and the plotters were frus-
trated. They broke into the tomb on the
night set, but were frightened away and later
were captured. At that time there was no
law against BODY stealing in Illinois and If
was found necessary to prosecute them on
simple charge Of attempt at burglary, on
which they received sentence of one year at

dynamite, not only with the purpose
of wrecking the car and safe in order
that they may get at the money surely,
but also to dispose of the messengers
and trainmen, so there may be no wit
nesses to identify them in case they
are caught. In the robbery at Wilcox
the express car was literally blown to
pieces. The bandits secured some
thing like $4,000 and got safely away.
The pursuit of the robbers has pass
ed into the police history of the Rocky
mountain region as one of the most
exciting episodes on record. Several
hundred men took part In the chase at
various times, including some Of the
general officers of the railroad and ex-
press companies. and a band of expe-
rieneed scouts continued the pursuit
for about a month. On the fourth day
Sheriff Hazen of Douglas County. Wy
oming. was killed in a battle with the
outlaws, who, by several narrow es-
capes. managed to evade their pur-
suers completely, so that eventually
active pursuit was abandoned. A re-
ward for the apprehension and capture
still holds good, however. The Union
Pacific Railroad and Pacific Express
Companies. Jointly. will pay $1,000 per
head. dead or alive, for each Of the
six robbers engaged in the hold-up,
and the United States government will
pay $1,000 per head additional. max
ing. in all, $1,000 for each of the rob-
bers.

While train robbery is fast becon-
ing an unpopular and Improbable oc-
cupation, owing to the death penalty
which awaits those who are captured
red-handed in the crime, 1t is also a
fact that the bandits who still engage
In 1t are Of the most desperate kind.
Nearly all the weakened chaps have
been driven out Of the business by fear
of capital punishment; those who re-
main in 1t are men who are willing to
risk their lives In attempts to get plum

panies, well knowing that sure death
will be their fate If they are caught
Some Idea Of the desperate measures
resorted to by these outlaws may be
had from the manner In which they
destroyed the express car ON the I'm
ion Pacific train near Wilcox, Wyo.,
on June 2.
Ordinarily train robbers are-or
rather were-willing and even anxious
to spare life. and secure their plum

old plan was to ''hold up the messen-

robbers, and to refrain from any acts
