ONE GOOD TRAIN ROBBER.
Search by Detectives in the Vicinity
Of New Orleans Rewarded
with Success.
the BODY OF A DEAD RoBBER FOUND.
ne wal One of the Party that Held
Up b Illinois Central Train Last
Thursday Morning-Conductor
kennabrew's Watch Found on the
Body.

New Orleans, Dec. 19.-Oetectives
have found the body of one of the rob-
oers who, on last Thursday night,
held up, within the city limits of New
Orleans, the Chicago mail train on the
Illinois Central railroad, shot Con-
ductor Kinnabrew, and made their es-
cape with a number of registered
packages. The watch of Conductor
hlnnabrew, found on the dead man,
leaves NO doubt of his identity as the
leader of the gang who held up the
train.
Shortly after the hold up on Thurs
day night Officers Daily and Lucich,
while fastening to the scene, discov-
cred two men carrying a bag and
walking rapidly between the Illinois
and Mississippi Valley tracks. The of
ficers halted the men but, instead of
surrendering, they began to shoot.
Both officers responded, and a lively
fusillade followed. The men finally
dropped a United States mail pouch
and fled. Since then the detectives
have been carefully examining the
swamp near the city, and their
search has been rewarded with the
finding of a body.

DEAD R0BBER IDENTIFIED.
He Was Claiming b. Barnes, Alias
John H. Nelson.

He Was Charming b. Barnes, Alias
John H. Nelson.
New Orleans, Dec. 19.-Late in the
day the dead robber was identified as
Charming B. Barnes, alias John H.
Nelson, alias Jack Nelson. He was
wanted for holding up the Illinois
Central train near Wickliffe, KY, last
July. and robbing the safe of the
American Express Co. His brother,
Charles w. Barnes and Richard DOYLE
were convicted for this latter robbery
and each is serving a sentence in the
Kentucky state penitentiary.
When the attempt was made to ar
rest Claiming Barnes, in St. Louis, he
shot Chief Special Agent George MUIR
ray and made his escape.
When the body was discovered it
was found that Barnes had cut his
throat and had evidently just died.
His w watch and that of Conductor
Kinnabrew were running. He had
been wounded in the back and left
wrist. Registered letters and dyna-
mite were found on the body.

A WARNING TO TRAIN ROBBERS.
The Death or Capture of Barnes waa
q ForeEone Cancellation.

The Death or Capture of Barnes was
q ForeGone Conclusion.
Chicago, Dec. 19.-Decided interest
was manifested at the general Offices
of the Illinois Central railway yester.
day in the dispatches telling of the
tragic fate of Claiming Barnes, the
last of the gang that robbed one OF
the company's trains at Wickliffe, Ky.
Vice-President j. T. Harahan said:
1T is a matter Of great satisfaction
that the systematic, continuous work
of the company's special agents has
resulted in every individual one of the
Wickliffe robbers meeting his just de-
serts. There has been no let up in
work since the Wickliffe affair, and il
was only a question of time as TO the
final result. Of the ultimate outcome
itself there could be no doubt what
ever considering the ceaseless and
thorough process Of following up
which was inaugurated at once, and
has been kept up persistently. 1t was
a grim realization that his escape was
impossible which led Barnes to com.
nit suicide in the swamp"

Feed for Cows at CaIvinx.

A writer in the Practical Farmer
claims COWS that are expected to be
fresh should not have any grain for
several weeks previous to the event.
1t 10 often the case where a farmer
has an extra butter COW that he over-
feeds her at this critical period, or
gives her such quantities Of grain, in
the hope Of making her do a little
better the next time, that she is Ii
able to have milk fever or other dis
case that may cause death. 1t is bet
ter to be on the safe side and not
feed any grain for at least three days
after calving. A COW will, undoubt-
eddy, make as much butter in the
long run when this is done, as if she
were fed on grain right along. Even
If this were not the case, he would
prefer to avoid the risk which heavy
grain feeding always entails.

It was once laid down by cele-
brated writer and historian that the
difference between rising at 8 and in
the morning for the space of forty
years. sdpposing a man to go to bed
at the same hour every night. is nearly
equivalent to the addition of ten years
TO the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be suni-
cient to induce those who have not
hitherto practieed this habit to COM
mence to do so, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There Is much founda-
tion for their complaint II they persist
in wasting SO many valuable hours of
the day in bed. The advantages and
benefits of early rising cannot be over
estimated; in the early hours OF the
morning the brain is clearer and more
ready for work, and after a night'a
sleep We should be ready to attack the
,sork of the day.
