1t was true Yankee blood that
was spilled when Emerson II. lis
cum, colonel of the Ninth Infantry,
fell before the gates of Tien Tsin
last Friday, for Liscum was a Yer
mont boy of the stock that fights
for the sheer lust of combat. He
has been Il soldier since he was 20
years old, and saw service in the
rebellion, the Spanish war, the
Philippine war, and, last OF all, in
China. Ills country was not ncgli-
gent of his worth and, when he died
so gloriously the other day, it was
preparing to honor him by promot-
ing him to the rank of brigadier
general in recognition of his bravery
at San Juan.
Liscum was born on July 16,
1871, and began his military career
May, 1861, when he entered the
volunteer army as coporal in the
First Vermont Infantry. He Was
mustered out the following August
and Immediately entered the regular
army as a private in the Twelfth
Infantry.

JUDGE THE DEFENDANT.
Mandamus Suit Commenced Against
Judge Fischer.

A mandamus proceeding involving, a
peculiar proposition of law has been filed
in the supreme court, and final arguments
will be heard at the next session.
The preliminary writ allowed today IS
directed to E. L. Fischer, judge of the
Wyandotte county district court, ordering
him to sign a case made for the supreme
court upon an appeal from a decision OF
his court
Henry NIcGrew, Of Kansas City, repre-
scented the plaintiff in a foreclosure suit.
A trial was had before Judge Fischer, re-
sulting in a verdict and judgment for the
defendants.
The plaintiffs Immediately took the nee
essary steps to appeal the controversy,
preparing a case made to which the de-
Tense suggested an amendment including
all of the evidence introduced at the trial
To this the plaintiff objected, refusing
finally to admit the amendments sub
mitted by the defense
The controversy over the amendments
was taken to the Judge who refused to
sign the case made unless the plaintiff ad-
mitted the amendments suggested by the
defense.
TO this the plaintiff took exceptions and
has brought the mandamus proceedings to
compel Judge Fischer to sign the case
made without the amendments desired by
the defense.

DEAD ROBBER FOUND.
Cut His Throat After Having
Been Wounded.

New Orleans, Dec .1S--Detectives found
today the body of one of the robbers
who on last Thursday night held up
within the city limits of New Orleans
the Chicago mail train on the Illinois
Central railroad, shot Conductor Kin
nabraw and made theOr escape with a
number of registered packages. The
watch of Conductor Kfnnabrew. 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 ho1d-up on Thursday
night Officers DAILY and Lucich, while
Fastening to the scene, discovered two
men carrying a bag and walking rapidly
between the Illinois and Mississippi Val
ley tracks. The officers halted the men,
but instead of surrendering, they began
to shoot. Both officers responded and a
lively fusi1ade followed. The men finally
dropped a United States mail pouch and
fled. Since then the detectives have bee I
carefully examining the swamp near the
city. At an early hour today their
search was rewarded with the finding of
a body.
Late today the dead robber was identi-
fed as Charming B. Barnes, alias John
II. Nelson, alias Josk Nelson. He was
wanted for holding up the Illinois Cen
trail train near Wickliffe, Ky, last July
and rObbing the safe OF the American
Express company. His brother. Charles
w. Barnes and Richard DOYLE were con-
victed for this latter robbery and each is
Serving a sentence in the Kentucky state
penitentiary. When the attempt was
made to arrest Claiming Barnes in St
Louis he shit Chief Special Agent Muir
ray and made his escape When the
body was discovered it was found that
Barnes had cut his throat and evidently
just died. His own watch and that of
Conductor Kinnabrew were running. He
had been wounded in the back and left
wrist. Registered letters and dynamite
were found on the body
