A ONE man TRAIN ROBBERY
IDAHO HGHWAYMAN GOES THROUGH NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN
AND THEN MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

Spokane, Sept. 22.-Single handed a
masked robber held up the west-bound
passenger train on the Nor: hern Pacific
at l o'clock this morning and succeeded
in getting away with between $400 and
$500 in cash. several watches and guam
tity of jewery. The robbery occurred
after the train left Atho, Idaho, and the
lone robber left the train at Rathdrum.
The hold-up was evidently carefully
planned and was executed with q cool
deliberation which showed the rObber
thoroughly understood his business. I'm
til he left the train few of the passengers
realized that only one man was in plot.
Conductor Dunning was the only person
on the train who offered serious resist
ance and few shots from the robbers
gun effectually silenced the trainmen.
AS the robber stepped off the train at
Rathdrum the conductor came out of
the tourist car and fired twice at the rob-
ber The latter returned the fire, clip
ping a piece of leather from the conduc-
tors shoe. No one was hurt during the
hold-up but every occupant of three cars
were scared. The man boarded the train
at some point in Idaho where a short
stop was made. He is described as be-
ing little over feet in height, of slight
build, had a light mustache ara wore
dark suit of clothes, a mask and a black
SLOUGH hat. After the train left Athol he
gained the rear of the second PulmaS

POPULISTS SHAKE HANDS.

The populist convention adopted the
report of the conference committee and
shook hands with the democratic body.
but the labor body, after the matter had
been debated until the air of the room
was blue. rejected it by a vote of
100 to Sc. The rejection, it is
said, was due to belief bv
some that by taking such stems
the democrats would recede from their
arbitrary action on the gubernatorial
question and surrender to them the priv
llege OF selecting the candidate for that
once. 1t was argued that the democrats
could not get along without their support
and would submit to anything in order
to secure it. Long after the report of
the conference committee had been re-
Jected there We're some who thought a
union OF forces would yet result, but
when the town clock tolled the hour of
without any notification from the demo-
Gratis that they could have anything they
wanted, hope began to diminish.
Late in the evening the labor party be-
gan nomina ting a separate ticket, but
up to the time of adjournment only one
nomination, that for governor, had been
made. The nominees We're ]. A. Fergus
on. of MissOula county, Daniel McDon-
aid of Silver Bow county, and Thomas
s. Hogan Of Helena. Mr.. Mcdonald, how
ever, withdrew in favor of Ferguson,
saying he was discouraged by the turn
affairs had taken. A vote on Ferguson
and Hogan resulted in the former re-
ceiving SO and the latter 81.

passengers insist that his hands We're full
of revolvers. Upon his arm he carried q
short sack made of coat sleeve For
some reason he did not use the sack but
slipped the money and valuables into his
pockets.
After cleaning up both Pullmans, the
robber entered the tourist car. Here the
occupants began to scream with terror.
and attracted the attention of the con-
ductor 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. Drawing his
revolver the conductor fired twice at the
man, who at once turned and fired three
times at the conductor, who beat a hasty
retreat ineo the ear. The robber escaped
before the alarm could be given to the
few epople at the Rathdrum station.

LABOR PARTY ADJOURNS.

The labor convention adjourned this
morning in good spirits. The convention
has decided to place the democratlc-pop-
ulist electoral ticket upon their state
ticket.
No other nominations were made. A
full state central committee was select
ed. Silver Bow as usual, furnished

quired before the sixty EIGHT Silver Bow
delegates decided upon their committee
man. j.. J. Quinn, Charles Whitley, Dan
Mcdonald and M. P. Haggerty were plac-
ed in nomination. Whitelys name was
withdrawn before the ballot was taken.
Mr.. Mcdonald also withdrew his name,
but the delegation not hear to it. The
first ballot resulted:
Quinn, 13; Haggerty, 20; Mcdonald, 25.
Chairman McNally of Silver Bow dele
cation ruled that no candidate having
received a majority of the votes cast an
other ballot should be taken. This raised
a cry of dissent from the Haggerty men.
Mr.. Haggerty, however, interfered to
say that under no circumstances would
he accept election unless he received
majority vote.
Another ballot was then taken, and Mr..
Haggerty was elected. The vote result
ed:
Hagerty 43; Mcdonald 25.
The name Of Mr.. Quinn being with
drawn the nomination was then MADE
unanimous.
Daniel Mcdonald Of Silver Bow was
elected committeeman-at -at-large. The
state central committee was given regu-
lation authority to fill all vacancies in
case of death, resignation or otherwise.
The convention also authorized the state
central committee to select committee
men for the counties having no COM
,nitteemen.
G. R.. Milburn of Miles City. candidate
for associate justice of the supreme
court, addressed the convention. Judge
Milburn said that he did not come into
the room to make a speech, but for the
purpose of seeing friend. He hoped
no one would think he was after votes.
On account of the position to which he
had been nominated, it would hardly
be right for him to talk politics. The
Judge was generously applauded dzflng
his short talk. The convention finally
adjourned, the delegates singing Amer
