time for their august fortunes, would
not now be pointed at in the streets Of

vast fortunes for some imply pinched-
ness. Of want for Others A growing
protuberance on a mans head implies
illness Of the whole body. These es-
tates Of disproportionate size weaken
all the body polite. But the evil Is
nothing with us compared with the
monopolistie oppression abroad Just

BATTLE WITH TWO ROBBERS.
Both Killed by Posse After Desperate
Resistance.
CBy the Associated Press

Gco1land Kansas August 10. Two
men who, on Sunday last, robbed a Union
Pacific train in Colorado and killed a
passenger were surrounded in ranch
house near here today During the fight
which followed the robbers were killed.
Two posse mem. B. Riggs, owner of
the Commercial Hotel of Gccdland, and
George Cullins, were severely wounded.
Another of the pursuing party, name I'M
known, was wounded slightly.
The Union Pacific, Kansas City-Denver
train was robbed between Limon Junction
and Hugo, Colo, 80 miles east of Denver
last Sunday morning, many relieved of
their money and valuables, and W. j..
Fay, an aged man, who resisted, was
killed by one of the robbers. The robbers
dropped off the train at Hugo and es-
capped. Wednesday, it is learned, they
went to the ranch of D. e. Bartholomew,
three miles from Goodland and 100 miles
overland and asked for food and lodging
for a few days. Today a posse went to
the Bartholomew place. The robbers re-
turned the fire of the posse with vigcr.
Finally one of the robbers jumped through
window and made off in the smoke.
Before he had gone a half dozen steps
he fell.
The second robber made his way into a
sod kitchen back of the house. The rob-
Der was armed with a rifle, and every
attempt ito approach the house drew his
fire. At about o'clock some of the
men cnawled through the cornfeld unob-
served to a shed near the house. With
great accuracy they threw two railroad
fuses upon the roof of the shack. In a
few minutes 1t was in flames, but the rob-
Der made no sign, and if he was not
struck by one of the hundreds of bullets
fred at his retreat, he met death in the
flames.
Both bodies were brought here tonight.

job near Hugo was thoroughly estab-
