600 Passenger Station Promised
Bismarck This Year ~
President Mellen and other Northern
Pacific officials made a trip over the
line of the Bismarck, Washburn &
Great Falls road to Wilton, their
special train being transferred from the
Northern Pacific. They were surprised
at crops on the Washburn and adjoin-
ing land and took samples Of grain
with them. These are the first fields
they have seen in the state from which
they cared to take specimens of grain.
Residents Of Bismarck are elated at
the decision of the officials TO build a
new passenger station this year. The
station will cost $50, 900 and it was
feared that a re~trenchment policy on
the part of the road might put off the
building of the station till next year.
The building will be of Spanish mis-
sion architecture and will he the hand
soonest in the state. The officials also
authorized some further improvements
In the remodeling of the Sheridan
house, bringing up the amount they
will spend on that building to about
$4,000. making a total Of over $50, 900
the Northern Pacific will spend in Bis,
marck for improvements this year.

Robbers Get $2S,OOO in Checks,
Drafts and Cash.
New York. Aug. 5.-The Journal and
Advertiser says: One of three leather
mail pouches in transit from the CEN
trail station to station o, al Fifth We
nue. and Thirteenth street, was robbed
on Thursday of more than $4,000 in
checks, drafts and cash. The bags
took the usual course by which the
mail is sent up town from this station.
They were carried by postoff1ce EN-.
ployes to the Sixth venue station of
the elevated railway. when they were
placed on the platform to await a Ger.
tain train. During the visit there is
no one to watch them, although the
station porter is supposed to keep an
eye on them. They were taken to the
Fourteenth street station and thrown
off, where they remained till the men
from the %substation carried them of.
When they reached the station it vas
found there was a big slit in M Of
the bags and nearly all the mail in the
bag extracted. The robbers will profit
little by their daring act as payment
on the checks and drafts has been
stopped.

Salina, Kan, Aug. IA Union Pa
cif1c east-bound passenger train was
held up by two men several miles west
Of Hugo, Colo, ninety miles this side
Of Denver. The passengers in the
Pullman sleepers were robbed of their
money and valuables. An old man
named Fay, a resident Of California.
who had been visiting in Denver and
was on his way to St. Louis, refused to
surrender his valuables and fired a
shot at one Of the robbers, out missed.
Thereupon the robbers fired, one shot
entering Fay's mouth and coming out
at the back of his head, killing him
almost instantly. The robbers stopped
the train,
Jumped on and Escaped.
The robbers got on to one Of the
sleepers near Limon, and after the
train had started the men made a
noise at the door. The conductor,
thinking they were tramps, opened the
door to put them off. The robbers.
who were masked, pointed a pistol at
his head and ordered hi INTO lead the
way through the coaches. All of the
passengers were asleep and the con-
ductor was ordered to wake them, one
at a time. The frightened passengers
were told to keep quiet or they would
be killed, and at the same time were
asked to hand over their money and
valuables. The robbers obtained
about 500 in cash and a number OF
gold watches and other pieces Of jew
elry. The robbery took place a few
minutes before 1 o'clock yesterday
morning. The body Of Fay,
Who Was Killed,
was taken off at Hugo and shipped to
Denver. He was sixty-eight years old
and a prominent Odd Fellow of Cali
fornia. The conductor, who was COM
PEELED to hold a bag while the robbers
relieved the passengers, lost his watch
and asked that it be returned to him
in order that he might run his train
on time. The robbers gave it back.
After ransacking the two coaches the
men made the conductor pull the bell
cord, but the train was going so rap
idly that the robbers were taken to
Hugo before 1t slowed up enough to
enable them to jump. They compelled
the conductor to get off ahead of them
so that If any of the passengers
Had Been in Waiting
they would have shot him first. After
the robbers had dismounted they or
dered the conductor to return to his
train. Miss. Shaw of Denver, a pas
senger on the train, states that when
the men entered the cars every one
was asleep and very few knew my
thing of what was going on until they
were awakened by the robbers. When
, the men came to her berth a pistol
was pointed at her face and she was
told to be quiet and had over her val
uables. With great presence of mind
she opened her pocketbook, letting a
number Of bills fall out, and then
handed the purse, containing some
silver, to the robbers. She also man
laged to save her watch, which was
pinned to her dress, by placing her
arm owe it.

Bowden, n. ID.
Bowden, a border town In Wells
county, has been the scene OF mucn :
citement during the past rev weeks.
everything is on the wide open plan
there. and a few citizens who object 90
not as a rule, have their objections
sustained. The trouble began upon the
arrival of Rev. Mr.. Pettinser, who de-
c,ded that the town should be reformed.
He proceeded to explain his views to
Mayor Frank Lathrop, who opJecteo
strenuously to the arguments brought
forth by the clergyman. Both men be-
came angry and a rough and tumble
fight ensued, the parson being victori-.
GUS. Since then the minister has been
on easy street, as the citizens could not
help but admire his pluck. But the
feeling between him and Mr.. Lathrop
continued to be anything but cordial.
A few nights ago a number of cite
zens banded together, masked their
faces carefully and repaired to La
throp.s domicile. They proceeded to
chastise him and left him much the.
worse for the encounter. The mayor
decided to have justice at any cost and
caused warrants to be issued for sew
eral whom he suspected. Among the
number was his adversary, Mr.. Pet,
finger, who was arrested and tried in
Justice court. AS there was n sufh-'

other arrests have been made.

insists that Rev. Mr.. Pettinger leave
town, while the parson insists that he
is of more benefit to the community
than the mayor, and advises the latter
to be good. Rev. Mr.. Pettinger lie
known as the fighting parson. AS a
slayer it is said he cannot be beat.
The parson has begun a crusade
against liquor selling and prize fighting,
both of which has been carried on to q
great extent in Bowden. The fights
have attracted crowds from all the
counties round about, and some ex-
citing affairs have been pulled of.
Mayor Lathrop is one of the leaders in
the sport, and for this reason he has
incurred the animosity Of the church
