COLORADO TRAIN ROBBERY.
Passengers in sleepers Held up and One
Man Killed.


Union Pacific eastbound passenger
train No. 4, which left Denver Sunday
night, was held up by two men several
miles west of Hugo, Colo, ninety
miles east of Denver, a few minutes
before o'clock Monday morning. The
passengers in the Pullman sleepers
were robbed of their money and valu-
ables.
An old man named Fay, a resident OF
California, who had been visiting Den
yer and was on his way to st. Louis,
refused to surrender his valuables and
fred shot at one of the robbers but
missed him.
Thereupon the robbers returned the
fire, one shot entering Fay's mouth
and coming out the back of mis- head,
killing him almost instantly. The
body of Fay was taken off at Hugo
and shipped to Denver. lie was 6s
gears of age and prominent Odd Fell
low of California.
The robbers got on to one of the
sleepers near Limon and after the
train had started the men made noise
at the door. The conductor, thinking
they were tramps, opened the door to
put them off. The robbers, who were
masked, pointed pistol at his head
and ordered him to lead the way
through the coaches.

An anarchist riot occurred Sunday
afternoon at the corner of Twelfth and
lalstead streets, Chicago, in which
twenty-five people were bruised in u
struggle with forty-five policemen.
Five persons were arrested, among
them being Mrs. Lucy Parsons, widow
of Albert r. Parsons, who was executed
November IL, 1887, in Chicago, for aid
ing aud abetting the bomb throwing
in the HaymarlSet riot. She was
charged with uisorderly conduct. Her

A mass meeting had been called ut
the West Side Turner hall at which
speeches were to be made by Mrs. Par
sons and Others On the topic, 1.-THE
Execution of the King of Italy" The
call concluded: "Workmen come in
crowds and show that the feeling of
brotherhood is strong among you"
Mrs. Parsons was on her way to the
hall when, finding it had been closed
by the police, she stepped into a door
way across the street. Soon crowd
formed and a policeman, prshing
through the throng, caught glimpse
of Mrs. Parsons. Thinking she was
making an anarchistic speech he en-
ideavored to disperse the crowd, but
failed.
He sent in a call for reinforcements
and several policemen arrived and a
general fight was precipitated. Clubs
were used and the police, finding them
selves being worsted, seuti in a riot call.
The number of police was increased to
forty-five and they rushed into the
throng. Mrs. Parsons was seized
Bricks were thrown, clubs welded,
and fierce struggle ensued before the
crowd was finally dispersed.
After the affair, numerous small
cards bearing the heading working.

found. Police assert that the cards
were printed in San Francisco, and
were received here by the anarchists
several days ago and have secretly been
distributed. A large quantity of liter,
ature advocating anarchy and book
containing the names and addresses OF
several anarchist sympathizers were
secured by the police.

PEKIN STORY TOLD.
ATROCITIES COMMITTED by
CHINESE GOVERNMENT.


Dr. Ernest George Morrison, the
Pekin correspondent the London
Times, who has been besieged with
the foreigners, teiegraphs his paper
as follows, under date of July 81,
which arrived at Tien Tsin August 2:
The Chinese soldiers continue to
strengthen the barricades around the
besieged area and also batteries on top
of the imperial city wall, but firing
has ceased since the 10th. The main
bodies of the inn erial soldiers have
left Peliin in order TO meet the relief
| forces
| The Tsung-li-Yamen has forwarded
to Sir Claude Macdonald copy of
dispatch telegraphed by the emperor
to Queen Victoria, attributing all
deeds of violence to bandits, and re-
questing her Majesty's assistance to
extricate the Chinese government out
of the difficulty. The queens reply is
not stated, but the Chinese minister at
Washington telegraphs that the United
States government would gladly assist
the Chinese authorities.
| This dispatch to the queen was sent
to the Tsung-li-Yamen by the grand
council on July 8, yet the day before
an imperial edict had been issued call
! ing on the Boxers to continue to rem
der loyal and patriotic services in
exterminatng the christians.
The edict also commanded viceroys
and governors to expel all missionaries
froEl China, and to arrest all christians
and compel them to denounce their
faith. Other DEGREES applauding the
Boxers speak approvingly of their
burning out and staying converts.
Their leaders are stated in decree to
be princes and ministers.
The force besieging the legation con-
sists of the imperial troops under Gem
eral Tung Lu and General Tung Fuh
Slang, whose gallantry is applauded
in imperial decrees, although it has
consisted in bombarding for one month
defenseless women and children cooped
up in the legation compound, using
shell, shrapnel, round shot and ex-
panding bullets.
The Chinese throughout, with char
ncteristic treachery, posted proclama-
tions assuring us of protection, and the
same night they made general attack
in the hope of surprising us.
All the ministers and members of the
legations and their families are in good
health. The general health of the
community is excellent, and we arc
contentedly awaiting relief.
As result of this information war
may be declared against China by the
powers. In any event, the knowledge
that the government ordered the mas
sacre will make a great difference in
exemplary damages assessed when the
time for settlement arrives.
The allied forces left ,rien Tsin for
Pekin August 2.

MINE MANAGER IN TROUBLE.
Held in Duress by Miners Near Junction
Bar, Idaho,

Bar, idaho.
News reaches Boise of very inter-
esting predicament in which a mine
mansSer of Elmore county is placed.
The manager is y Mr.. Garrett of Spo-
kane, member of a real estate firm of
that place. He is held in duress by
miners whom he has employed. They
restrained him from leaving the county
without paying them up, and they are
hol4ing him at Cassey's ranch. Eight
or ten miners are keeping guard over
him.
1t seems that Mr.. Garrett represents
Spokane outfit that purchased mine
on the Boise river some twelve miles
above junction Bar. They paid 81, 900
cash for the property and afterward
erected on it secondhand mill. They
have been working since last fall.
Their bills were paid regularly until
one or two months ago, when they
were unable to longer meet their obli-
cations promptly.
There were some thirty men en-
ployed by Mr.. Garrett, and when he
started on trip to Spokane they de-
tanned him and are holding him as has
been stated.

WAR In CHINA.
ALLIED FORCES LOSE 600 MEN
I'M BATTLE WITH CHINESE.
Datue Occurred at Pei Tsang, Eleven Miles
from Iien Tsin-Loss Chiefly Con-
fined to russians and Japanese.

dispatch was received at the war
department Monday that sanguinuary
engagement had occurred Sunday be-
tween the allied forces and Chinese at
Eel Tsang, and that the allied forces
! lost ZOO, chiefly Russians and japan
ese. The allied forces numbered ID. 900.
The Chinese were driven back with n
heavy loss,
Pei Tsang is eleven miles from Tien
Tsin. 1t is a village of mud huts of
considerable size. but not walled. The
river at this point is not navigable by
anything larger than good sized
steam launch, and it is thought that
the troops probably reached there in
small boats towed by the naval
launches.
The engagement lasted seven and o
balf hours, and from this fact it is
argued that the Chinese loss must have
been from three to six times as heavy
as that of the allied forces.
Opinion among the various officials
now in Washington is somewhat di-
yided as to just what is pressaged by
events. The more optimistic are in
clined to think that such a severe blow
as the Chinese must have received at
Pei Tsang will result in the speedy
disintegration of the forces now on
posing the march of the international
column In line with this prediction
1t was prophesied that the Chinese
government would find means to send
the ministers from Pekin under escort
and thus stave off the advance upon
the capital.
1t is thought few or no Americans
were in the battle at Pie Tsang and
certainly General Chaffee was not
there. he being detained at Talsu bv
the difficulties accompanying the de-
barkation of the Sixth cavalry and
other American troops. 1t is believed
that when he reaches the front he will
show the allies way around fortified
or difficult places, if it be possible, in
stead of sending his men forward in
bull-lilse rushes unnecessarily.
The position OF the United States
automatically remains unchanged.
This government will not consent to
the removal of the ministers and for
eigners from Pekin until there is free
communication by the powers with
their ministers. Nor will this govern
ment consent to communication in
plain language alone, but insists that
cipher messages must pass freely be-
tween Minister Conger and our state
department. 1t is emphatically stated
that unless such messages are ex-
changed the United States cannot
know beyond question that the mes
sages are not garbled and both the
United States government and the
ministers misled.
The shipment of the heavy artillery
in the Philippines, for possible use on
the Pekin wall, is about due to arrive
at Taku. 1t will be hurried to the
front.

No Clue to Robbers.

The officers who are searching for
the robbers who held up the Union
Pacific train and murdered one of the
passengers Sunday morning at Hugo,
Colorado, have been working with very
small clues. 1t is said that two ranch
men living thirty miles south of Hugo,
who have been suspected of "rustling'
for long time, will be visited on sus-
picion of their being the robbers. A
black macintosh was left on the car
by one of the bandits, and that is said
to be the only tangible clue in the
hands of the officers.
