Bryan Denies a Charge That He Re-

Portage, Wis, Oct. 3.-Mr. Bryan's
attention was today called to a state
ment made by Mr.. Kingman that he
received S150,000 for insisting upon the
silver plank of the Kansas Civ plat-
form, and he said:
1t is hardly worth while to denv the
charge of a man who hides behind a.
woman whose name he will not give
but in order that the most CnscruprI-
IouS Republican may have no reason
for repeating the charge, L viii saw
that it is absolutely false in every mar
ticular- No one ever offered. promised
or gave me that sum or any other for
urging that plank or any other plank in
the Kansas City platform or any other
platform.
4 do not know anything of Mr.
kingman. but il is said that he is a.
cousin of Senator Cullom, and I do
know something of Senator Culloro
The senator ought to know whether his
cousin is trustworthy or not and if
the senator will state over his own sig
nature that he believes what his cousin
says, and is willing TO represent him
in an investigation of the charge I will
make him proposition which will give
him an opportunity to produce his evil
dence.''

TRAIN ROBBER
KILLED IN ACT
Brave Express Messenger
FOils Attempt at Hold up.
DRIVEN FROM CAR
BY DYNAMITE
He Shoots One Bandit Dead and
Chases Other Away.

Council Bluffs. Ia, Oct. 1.-Two men
held uD the passenger train on the
Burlington road. three miles south of
this city, at midnight
Express Messenger Charles Baxter
shot and killed one of the robbers, and
his body now lies in the mOrghe in this
city. He was about six feet tall, pow
erfully built, apparently about As years
of age, and had black hair and mus
tache.
The two men boarded thee ira
the Union Pacific transfer, and cL
over the tender just as the train
crossing the Mosquito creek brio
Engineer DOnnelly and Frank Holman,
fireman, VINO were in charge of the
engine, were ordered to slow uD as
soon as the train had crossed the
bridge. While the man, afterward kill
ed, held revolver on the engine crew,
his companion went back and cut off
the baggage and mail cars, leaving the
day coaches and sleepers standing on
the main line.
Acting under orders, the engineer
pulled the train half a mile down the
track. where a stop was made. Here
the robbers approached the express
car and ordered Messenger Baxter to
open the door. He refused to do so.
Under cOmDulsiOn Engineer DOnnelly
attached a stick of dynamite TO the
side door of the car and blew it open.
Messenger Makes Escape.
In the meantime Messenger Baxter
seized his gun and escaped from the
door on the opposite side of the car.
As soon as the door was opened one
of the robbers entered the car while
his COMPANION marched the engineer
and fireman back to the engine.
Baxter creDt around in front of the
engine and, seeing the robber standing
gard over the engine crew, fired one
shot, killing him instantly AS soon as
the shot was heard the rObber in the
car jumped to the ground and fed
through q corn field
The dead man was picked up. placed
on board, and the train backed into this
city. The body was searched, but moth
ing was found on it by which ii could
be identified.
The dead robber was dressed in a
neat suit of black clothes. over which
OVeralls and jumper had been drawn.
In his pockets was found about SIS
in money and a watch and chain. Con-
ductOr William McGreW, who was in
charge of the train, thinks the dead
man is one George of St Joseph
The robber VINO escaped was larger
and taller than the dead man, being
apparently above six feet in height.
Both men were masked, and both wore
overalIs and jumpers
The door of the express car was bad
ly shattered by the explosion of dyna-
mite.
The robber inside the car was pre-
pairing to blow the safe at the time his
companion was killed.
He ceased operations at once, AMI
no damage was done to the contents of
the car, nor was anything taken. After
putting on a new express car and
transferring the freight, the train pro-
ceeded TO Kansas City.
