AN EPIDEMIC OF TRAIN
 ROBBERS IN THE WEST
Lone Highwayman Holds Up a North- ern Pacific Train in Washington and Secures Consider
 able Booty.

Spokane, Wash, September 22.-Single-
 handed a masked robber held up the west 5 bound passenger train on the Northern a Pacific at l o'clock this morning and suc- ceeded in getting away with about $500 in
 cash, several watches and a quantity of s jewelry.
 1 The holdup was evidently carefully planned and was executed with cool de- { liberation which showed the robber thor . oushly understood his business. < Soon after the traiL left Athol he gained ' the rear of the second Pullman sleeper and at once began operations. From bunk to bunk he worked, waking up the sleepers and demanding their valuables while cov- erlng them with a formidable-looking re- vdlver.
 After clearing up both Pullmans the rob- Der entered the tourist car. Here the oc-
 cupants began to scream with terror and attracted the attention of the conductor, who was in the forward part of the coach
 He came down the aisle and the robber backed out the car door and stepped off the platform as the train was pulling into
 Rathdrum. The conductor fired twice at the robber, who returned the fire, and the
 conductor beat a nasty retreat into the
 car. The robber escaped before the alarm could be given to the few people at the Rathdrum station.

THE TROOPS ARRIVE Their Presence Has Had a
 Quieting Effect. MITCHELL ISSUES A STATEMENT Condemns the Shooting at Shenandoah and Criticises Governor for Calling

 At Close of Week
MITCHELL ISSUES A STATEMENT

Philadelphia, September 22-At the end of the week of the strike in the anthracite coal fields in Pennsylvania there are not wanting signs of desire on the part of some of the strikers to return to their work. This sentiment is generally confined, so far as reported, to the English-speak. ing element among the mine workers. Ex- perience has shown that these men are the most conservative, the foreigners being im- pulsive and hot tempered in strike times.
 Notwithstanding the serious break neces- sitating the sending of troops to Shuylkill county everything is reported quiet in the entire coal region tonight. There Is a feel- ing that efforts would be made in all the districts on Monday morning to start up mines that are now idle. The persistence of corporations and individual mine owners in asserting that they will consider grievances of their employees individually, but will new CT under any circumstances treat with the United Mine Workers has undoubtedly had its effect and 1t would not be surprising if many mines that have been closed since the strike began will resume operations at least partially the, beginning of next week.

REMOVAL OF CAPITAL
 BONE OF CONTENTION
Alabama May Get a Big Slice of Florida Territory as Result of the
 Squabble

Pensacola, Fla, September PA ques ton which is agitating all Florida and Ala bama at present is whether the capital of Florida shall be removed from its present location-Tallahassee. The question has been submitted to the people and will be decided at the state primary November 6. The cities of JacksonvfIle, Tallahassee, Ocala and St. Augustine are candidates for the proposed removal, and Jacksonville has arranged for orators to take the stump in few days to present the advantages of that city proper place for the cap- ital.
 If the capital is removed from it's present location it may result in West Florida, which includes all west of the Apalachico- la river, being made a part of Alabama.
 This issue has been widely discussed for some time, and is receiving much com ment from Alabama and West Florida newspapers.
 Assurances are said to have reached here that the Legislature of Alabama will consider a business proposition from the people in this section for the addition of West Florida to their state. Meetings have been held in several Alabama cities, and action taken looking to a favorable consideration of West Floridas proposi- ton by the Alabama Legislature

Four Masked Men Robbed the Express Car on the Burlington Route Near Lincoln, Nebraska,
 and Got Away.

Lincoln, Neb., September 22.-Four mask ed men held up the express car on the St. Louis-P Portland train of the Burlington early today at the village of Woodlawn, a few miles northwest of Lincoln.
 The men commanded the express messen- ger to open the local safe for them and al low them to go through it. The through safe, which the messenger could not open and which contained large sum of money, was not molested.
 The robbers secured very small sum from the local safe.
 After going through the safe the men left the express car and disappeared.
 The train left Lincoln shortly after mid- night, and it is~supposed that the robbers boarded it at this place.
 There are many stories afioat here con- corning the holdup. A young man who came in today from the scene said the en- gineer was struck over the head with a revolver and that the pockets of the pas- sengers were rifled. The railroad officials deny this story, and say no money was secured except from the local safe. They admit that the engineer and firemen were covered with revolvers and were compelled to stop the train, but say that neither was hurt.
 The four robbers crept over the tender to reach the engine men. The fireman was ordered to detach the express car from the remainder of the train, but this he was unable to do. The Burlington Company has offered @ reward of $500 for the appre- hension of the robbers. The police are working on the case.

Paris, Tex, Sept. 22.-It is believed here that Coy. Green McCurtin of the Choctaw Nation and Associate Judge J. M Duke the Governor-elect, perished in the Calves ton storm two weeks ago. They left Tali- hama Thursday to go to Galveston, before the storm, and nothing has since been heard of them. D. s. Thomas, a merchant at Talihana, was with them. He is also missing.

The sentence of John Echols, a con vict at Yuma under sentence of ten yea4sfor stage rObberylwas oonamnt7 ed yesterday to four years confine- ment by Governor Murphy.
 Eehols was cdnNictedq im EHyqpai county in June, 1898, on circumstan- tial evidence 4the circmnstaneesbe- ing very strong against him. At the same term of court King Ussery, a noted criminal, was on trial for rob bery, and when, he employed an at torney he gave him $50 above the fee and told him "to do what he could to save Echols." ,Echols, how ever, was convicted and Ussery ac- quilted Later Ussery was convicted of another crime and sent up. Last February he made a confession, in which he stated that he, and not 'Ech- ols, robbed the stage and planned to have suspicion fall upon EchOls. It was Ussery who carelessly threw away the mask after the robbery. It was Ussery who went to Echols' cabin and left the tracks of his shoes, it was Ussery who used Eebols' Winchester all of which acts were for the pur- pose of securing his own escape. by the conviction of, Echols,, Governor Murphy, however, discovered that Echols and Ussery were associates and that Echols' character was not good, so he tempered his clemency by cutting his sentence down to four years Enterprise. rrni .,ifo,I u
