THE HOLD.UP
How 1t Was Done Posses on
 inc Trail

About l 80 .. I'm. yesterday morn. ing the west bound s. P. passenger train wss held up ct Cochiss Station in this county and three masked rob- bsrs succeeded it securing consider able booty the amount of which is vsriously estimated at from $5OOO to $3C,O00. Che three men uncoupled the express car from the train end had the engineer pull forward ashort dis taDce. When the express messe ger refused to open tho door the robbers immediately set of some giant pow der under the car and coon forced an entrance. A fussilads of shots wAs continually fired by the robbers and DO one was permitted to come out Of the passenger coaches. The robbers were cool and deliberate and perfectly understood the handling of giant powder. The robbers stated at the out set that the express car wouli be the the only car robbed and the pAssen- gers would not be molested. which was faithfully carried out.
 Having secured their booty the trio, after firing . parting shot, left the train afoot. enc Tobber carry ing the sack. The train was delayed . little over half hour by the robbery.
 Immediately after information was had here, Sheriff White had two posses iu the field, and the sheriff left here yesterday with q Tombstone posse besides.
 Two suspicious looking characters were at Cschise for day or two Ue fore the robbery, pretending to te hunting for work aud it is now be- lieved they are the parties who com mitted the robbery As it was pay day in Pesrce today, the robbers doubtless figured on this money arriving with the express robbed. Whether they secured the money in. tended for the Pearcs employees. some $25 coo, it is not known nor will tn. Railroad or Wslls Fargo i Go officials divulge.
 Word received today from enc of the Sheritfs posse to the effect that four hOrsemen were trsilei from Cochise and posse are in pursuit. This would lend color to the theory that the fourth robber had charge of the horses while the three companions did the work.

A SNAKE STORY
An Exhibition of Nerve bv a
 Graham County Ladv

The editor of the Arizonian, during a recent visit to the mountains, ct Glen Echo. learned the particulars of an incident which happened as the ranch of Henry Dalton about five miles g south of Safford. in which Mrs. Dalton was the principal actor, and in which che displayed uncommon nerve and presence of mind m c moment of great danger. It seems that she was in the corn patch gathering some green corn for dinner, when che accidentally stepped on . large rattleenake. h. stead of jumping back and screaming from fright, Mrs. Dalton kept her foot down across the back of the reptile and called loudly for help. The rat tier. all this time, was sauirming. rat ting and attempting to strike, which he was unable to do, on account of his position. But the nervy lady, knowing that the snake mast first coil before he could strike, kept her fcot down and refused to faint. In . few minutes, which zee emed very long time to Mrs. Dalton. her daughter re. sponded to her cries for assistance. When the di ifficulty was learsed. the young lady made another trip back to the house, come three hundred yards distant. and secured hoe. with which .he reptile was soon decspitssed. Mrs. Dalton showed the nerve of frontier woman in holding the suske down for the very few moments intervening be- tween realizing her situation and the killing Of the reptile. The rattler measured htsle over five feet, and nad nine joints to bis rattle besides . button.

WRONG IMPRESSION
A .Mistaken Idea Regarding
 the Helyetia

"1hs papers of Arizona are laboring under a wrong impression" said MT. N. R. Hear who has just came from Tucson, "~hen they say that the Hell vetia is owned by .he Calumet { Hecls people. They probably got this idea because the most of the gentlemen connected with the mine are from Michigan. The real owners are W. H. Pain, of Boston, J. ". Sea- ger, of Houghton, Mich, Frank Fell lows, of Chicago and $. l.. Smith, of Detroit. The Calumet & Hecls com pany has a nonber of copper claims in Sonora, out they have no interest in the Helvetis." Mir. Hosr says that the Helvetis company owns fifty-six claims altogether, and have 3tO men on the payroll.

DREYFUS SUFFERS FOR THE SINS OF
OTHERS.

The Dreyfus case has ended in his
conviction as was expected. Ills &C
ouittal would have been followed by the
conviction of those who conspired with
Henry and Esterhazy. The army was
resolved to save that scandal. 1t had
enough influence to condemn Dreyfus in
order to save general shaking up.
Dreyfus is "a martyr, and it seems proba-
HE that there will be less tumult in
France over his conviction than If he
had been acquitted. The army will not
no reformed. but it has learned lesson.
II is not likely that Dreyfus will have
long imprisonment, and though the Off
cial stain is upon his name, the world
holds him as a wronged man who Is
made to suffer for the sins of others.
When released, he will be restored to
popular confidence.
France was not strong cough to COM
mel Justice from its all powerful mill
tary. Militarism is responsible for the
outrage to Dreyfus and the denial to
him of Justice. This case ought to be
a warming to America to keep the army
small and the military power subordin-
ate to the civil.

WHOLESOME AND INSPIRING.

"Truth is quite beyond the reach of
satire. There is so brave a simplicity i'll
her, that she can no more be made
ridiculous than an oak or pine.
Il am bold to say that He who read
eth the hearts of men will not account
amy dialect ullseemly which conveys a
sound and pious sentiment. | wish
that such sentiments were more COM
mon, however uncouthly expressed.
Digest this of Baxter: 1.-The plainest
words are the most profitable oratory
in the weightiest matters"
These two quotations from Lowell
make a fitting accompaniment to the re-
view of James Russell Lowell and His
Friends" which appears in the Literary
Department of todays paper. 1t would
be difficult i'm the range of letrature TO
find two extracts that constitute more
wholesome and aspiring reading.

A CONTEST BEGUN TO INVENT CAMPAIGN
THUNDER.

The very able and clear brief pre-
pared by Chas. NJ. Busbee, Esq, and
Frank |. Osborne, Esq, for Mr.. Bella
my. in the contest for his seat in Con
gress, shows that Dockery has no foun-
dation for his contest. If even Reed
Congress could gravely contemplate I'M
seating Mr.. Bellamy, they could not lind
a single argument worthy of the name
to justify such theft.
Dockery is not bringing his contest for
a seat in Congress for he does not claim
that he was elected. 1t is a contest die
tated and inspired by Republican Ma
tional politicians who hope to make the
cries of intimidation" and the like fire
the Northern heart. 1t is contest to
invent bloody shirt campaign thunder IN
1900. OF course Dockery is glad to
make the contest. 1t gives him promin-
ence and costs him nothing.

has been a large crowd in attendance all
week. The number of teachers enrolled
the first day was - and this number has
been increased to 1913. Prof. Joymer says
that this is the largest attendance in
proportion to The numlber of teachers Of
that or of any other county in which
Institutes have been held this year.
fTo say that the people have been
pleased is putting it lightly. They have
been aroused to feeling of interest and
enthusiasts that will last for many day
to come. Teachers Association will be
formed i'm every township of the county.
Much good vii be done by this Institute.
The teachers of this county should feel

THE TIME HAS COME TO CUT LOOSE.

AT the recent session of the executive
board Of the penitentiary, Superintendent
Day openly DECLARED his intention not
longer to cooperate with the board. A
special to the Washington Post says
this declaration created quite a sensa-
ton and adds:
Nv. III. Osborne, of the board, said to-
night that Day had always talked it
the other way to him and told him he
recognized the board Osborne says he
stands ready to resign il the board thinks
that course best. If Day tells me he ig
nores us / will resign.
1.-THE Legislature meets in adjourned
session next June, and it will place the
penitentiary absolutely under Demo
cratic control"
The announcement may have created
a Sensation" to those who did not
know the facts. The truth is that all
along Superintendent Day, while pre-
executive board, has never done SO in
some Of the most important transac-
tons. The board has tried to know, but
| has not been able to get the information.
| The board has been trying to run the
penitentiary on business principles, but
| Capt Day has thwarted them. Now he
publicly repudiates their authority and
does openly what he has been doing all
along by indirection.
| The executive board meets again on
| the 18th. 1t ought then to enforce its
authority, if it has any, call full meet
| ing of the board and make the issue
plain. IL Capt. Day is to be dictator,
the directors ought to get out before the
crash comes, as it is sure to do under
loose management Up to this time the
executive board has hoped against hope
