pull about two miles from the remain
der of the train. The robbers then
commanded the messenger to open the
door of his car. and, failing to get any
response, made Fireman Love break

gageman not to shoot. The messenger,
who was well protected by a barricade,
said he would kill the first man to en-
ter the hole. Love was forced in and
the messenger shouted: Get aside,
Love-" as he fired through the hole.
His shot just missed the robbers, who
undertook to kill the messenger by
shooting through the side of the car.
In the confusion resulting Engineer
Rich crawled down ditch behind the
cars and up the side Of cut to his
engine. He pulled the throttle wide
open and left the robbers behind. A
quick run was made to Jacksonville,
fifteen miles north At daybreak the
penitentiary bloodhounds were brought
from Rusk and Immediately put on the
trail of the robbers. This hold-up oc-

VAN WICK MAY BE REMOVED.
Damaging Ice Trust Evidence Said To BE
I'm the Governors Hands.


New York. June Illegal evidence
has been presented to Governor Roose-
velt at his home In Oyster Bay upon
which Mayor Van Wyck will probably
be removed from office. Attorney B.
f. Elnstein, representing the plaintiff
against the ice trust, spent the whole
of the afternoon in conference with
the governor. He laid before the gov
ernor under oath the list of stock
transferable list which the ice trust
the mayor, the dock commissioners
and John II. Carroll. the acting leader
Of Tammany hall. have tried to hide.
The attorney general was officially rep
resented in this conference by Mr..
Einstein.
The evidence presented seems to
leave no loophole for escape and
proved to the governor In the most de-
tailed manner the fact that the mayor
owned 1850 shares of stock in the ice
trust and that the ice trust received
dock privileges from the city govern
ment which gave 1t n monopoly of the
ice business in the metropolis, en-
abling 1t to double the price of ice at
one stroke. AS the removal of the
mayor by Governor Roosevelt is now
virtually assured, preparations are be-
ing made to indict and punish him for
tho offensa CHARGED AGAINST him.
