Another Suspect.

Tuesday A S. GaffOrd, who lives
northeast Of GOOdIand, saw a man,
mounted, whom be thinks is another
bad man; for, when the stranger, who
was gazing at the ruins Of the BarthO-
IOmew house, saw Mr.. GaffOrd apprOa-
ching by the angling road which leads
to GOOdland, he spared his horse and
made for the prairie. When at a safe
distance the fellow dismOunted and
hid himself in the grass.
Mr.. Gafford says the man was armed,
and thinks the suspicious person might
be "pal" of the late robbers.
If be be a bandit, he should leave

BRYAN's SCHOOL TEACHER.
The white Haired Old Lady Who Came TO
See Her Pupil NOminated-She
Talks Of bryan.
Washington Times.l

One of the most picturesque figures
in the convention hall at Kansas City
was Miss Ida BOarman, the old school
mistress of William Jennings Bryan.
She was accompanied by Miss Ruth
Bryan, the young daughter of the
democratic leader. In spite Of her
feebleness and advanced age Miss
Boarman had travelled 40 miles by
stage to Lincoln, where she took the
train for Kansas City to see her for
mer pupil nominated for president.
Miss Boarman is the type Of the old
school southern Rentlewomau. Her
rather tall and spare form is perfectly
erect. The old style black silk and
the bit Of ancestral point lace at her
throat tell Of better days, before the
civil war. Her hair, as white as snow,
is parted on the brow and falls in soft
curls around her wrinkled face.
sI am a very old woman now, she
said. y was an old woman when L
taught William the rule of three and
the boundaries Of the states, of which
hope he will soon be ruler. 1t was al
ways hard for him to remember the
different positions Of the states and
territories and remember that on one
occasion, when I threatened to whip
him for missing his geography lesson
he told me that he didn't think it was
at all necessary for an American boy
to know which way the rivers ran and
how many miles Maine was from
Florida. It was enough, he thought,
for the American boy to know what
states there we're. I don't believe he
ever did know the geography lesson in
his life.
@But he never failed in arithmetic.
Perhaps this is the reason he has cal
culated on Is to L. I do not 7nder-
stand the platforms or anything per
tanning to political standards, but 1 am
sure that what William Bryan does will
be done from a sense Of duty and not
from any selfish motive. I don't be-
Heve he has done many things in his
life without weighing the results and
following the line which his duty die
tsted !"

showed in his face He was ordered by
the robbers, who were masked, to lead
the way through the sleepers- All Of
The passengers we're asleep, and the
conductor was ordered to wake them,
one at a time. A gun was placed at
their heads and the frightened passen-
gers we're told to keep quiet or they
would be killed, and at the same time
we're ordered to hand over their money
and valusbles.
The men went through two sleepers
and secured about $50 in cash and a
number Of gold watches and miscel-
laneous jewelry.
An old man named ". J. Fay, resi-
dent of California, who had been visit
ing at Denver, where he had left his
wife, was on the train en- route to st.
Louis. As the robbers went through
enc Of the PUlImans they awakened
Fay and he was told to hand over his
money. Instead Of complying he fred
a shot at one Of the robbers. Both
robbers returned the fire and one shot
entered the old mans mouth and came
out at the back Of his head. He died
almost instantly.
After lOOting the two sleepers the
men made the conductor pull the bell
cord, but for some cause or other the
train did not stop until Hugo was
reached When the robbers left the
train they compelled the conductor to
get of ahead Of them so that, if any OF
the passengers were in waiting, they
would shoot him first. He was then
ordered to return to his train, and the
robbers made their escape in the dark
ness.
Immediately after the bandits left
the train, the crew got off and notified
the authorities. All the stations along
both the Union Pacific and Rock
Island roads were notified Of the hold
up and a posse was soon in pursuit.

THE WOUNDED MEN.
Riggs Is Recovering Which Is Looked
Upon rs observation-disclosures Getting
Better Fast.

John Riggs, proprietor Of the Com
mercial hotel, and George CuIlins, con
ductOr of the billiard hall, the men
who were wounded in the fight, are
recovering.
It never was thought that Cullins
was dangerously wounded, but the
mere idea that Riggs would ever get
well was not entertained for a moment,
even By the doctors.
When first brought to town both
men were taken to the Commercial
hotel, but later CulIins was removed to
his home.
The shooting Of CulIins in the back
is thought to have been accidental
During the rapidly shifting scenes
around the house, Sheriff Walker mis-
took his deputy for the rObber, the
two being similarity attired, and says
himself that he thinks he Was the one
that shot CuIlins. Happily the ball
struck the hard muscle just below the
right shoulder blade, and though It
was not found, it did not evidently 60
in very far.
Dr.. FarrOW attended the injured
men, and found Riggs so weak that it
was necessary to administer powerful
stimulant to keep the heart IN action,
the pulse at times being imperceptibIe.
Later in the day Dr.. Smith, who was
out Of town, was called.
Since both men recovered from the
first shock, they have been steadily i'm
proving, much to the qualification of
everyone.

Detectives Disappointed.

Detectives Frank Murray, Peter
DAILY and n. A. PippiD, Of Denver, and
J. A. Clary, who we're in Hugo trying to
get some clue on which to work, were
greatly surprised when they received
word By wire that the bandits were
near GoodIand-one shot dead and the
other surrounded.
They fastened to GOOdland, arriving
here at ten o'clock Friday night, Win
chester in hand, but they did not have
to use them-both bandits were dead,
much to their disappointment.
They returned to Denver Sunday
morning.

COMMENTS ON THE CAPTURE.
The Right Disposition OF Train Robbers.
Editorial in kansas City Times.J

The Right Disposition OF Train Robbers.
Editorial in Kansas City Times.I
The killing Of the two train robbers
near GOOdland, Kan, is In the right
dir ection- It used to be said that sthe
only good Indian was the dead Indian. :"
So it may safely be stated now that the
best disposition to make Of train rob
bers is to kill them. More especially
if they can be executed before they
succeed in killing some honest, peace
able person, as was unfortunately not
the case in the recent robbery. If ali
train men we're well armed and drilled,
with instructions to shoot to kill on
the orders Of their superiOrs, there
might be practically a cessation Of this
diversion.

WHO'LL PAY FOR THE HOUSE?
The Bartholomew without House OF
Home BuE aEusr he RemuneEated
From some Source.

The burning Of the house Of Mr.
Bartholomew involves the loss also Of
all his household goods; In fact every
thing that the family did not take on
their backs. Five hundred dollars
would not erect a new two-story frame
part, like the one burned As a con
lecture, $1,000 would not seem to be
out Of the way for the loss.
There is no doubt that the Union
Pacific Railroad company ought to
reimburse Mr.. Bartholomew, but where
the burden viii fall is undecided.
If the railroad company refuses to
reimburse Mr.. Bartholomew, no doubt
the county VIII be called on to do so.

A short, Sharp and Decisive Roundup.
Editorial from the Denver POst.l
Rarely in recent years has there
been such a short, sharp and decisive
roundup Of train robbers as chat so
successfully terminated near Good
land, Kan. Usually train robbers have
been much more successful in getting
away with their haul. While the abrupt
ending of the career Of these two train
robbers is not likely to have deterrent
effect upon others similarly inclined,
it may safely be said that there are at
least two enterpIising representatives
of the craft who will never give police
or posse any more trouble.

and with nothing but death BY fighting

their lives as dearly as possible.
Knowing this, the brave Kansans at
tackled the robbers with q courage equal
to that Of vaIient men who have won
fame in the pages Of history By leading
a charge or a foriorn hope. It was q
tragic scene on the distant prairie, this
deadly conflict between desperate fury
and honest courage. All honor to
Sheriff Walker, who did his duty, and
to John Riggs and George CuIIins, who
felt the sting Of deadly wounds while
acting voluntarily as officers Of the law
and to BiddisOn, whose steady aim laid
the robber low who tried to escape.
If Remington, at his best, could paint

day.
While he was surrounded By the
members Of his family his life went out
go peacefully that only the physician
In attendance knew that he had found
rest.
Breathing the fumes Of arsenic in the
smelters where ores from his mines
were treated and living in the high al
tituis Of Montana weakened his heart.
He realized that his constitution had
broken but did not soon enough give
himself opportunity to recuperate. He
al last came to New York and consulted
three eminent specialists in diseases Of
the heart. They all made the same d.
agnosis and advised him 70 forsake his
active business life.
Frettlng under these orders Mr.. DAILY
contrary to their advice. went to take
baths at Nauheim. These are said to
be too stimulating in cases Of dilation
Of the heart.
Upon being told that death could
not be DELAYED he hurried back to this
city. hoping against hope that those
who had previously helped him might
again proiong his life. II was the
irony Of fate that upon the date when
Mr.. DAILY was told that death could
not be avoided. his political and person

At Days home he was said to have

that the DAILY holdings in the Ana
