Of Express Messenger Charles Ruther-

and the strategy of Engineer Charles
Rich, another robbery would have
taken place. The engineer. saw a pile
of: cross ties and lantern on the track
and stopped. He was ordered down
by three masked men, who forced the
engineer and fireman to uncouple the
mail, baggage and express cars and
pull about two miles from the remain
der of the train. The robbers then
commanded the messenger to open the
door of his car, and, failing to get any
response, made Fireman Love break a
hole in the end with a coal pick.
While this was being done, the fire.
man begged the messenger and bag
gagemaster not to shoot. The messen-
ger, who was well protected by a bar
ricade, said he would kill the first man
to enter the hole. Love was forced in,
and the messenger shouted': Get

hole. His shot just missed the robber,
who undertook to kill the messenger
by shooting through the side of the
car. .
In the confusion resulting Engineer
Rich crawled down a ditch behind
the cars and up the side. of a cut to his
engine. He pulled the throttle wide
open and left the robbers behind. A
quick run was made to Jacksonville, IS
miles north. ~ AT daybreak the peniten-
tiary bloodh ounds were brought from
Rusk and Immediately put on the trail
of the robbers. This hold-up occurred
near the vicinity where the same train
was robbed five years ago.

A QUEER EXPERIENCE.
This Story Tells How u Possible Mar
riage Was Prevented by
- a Burglary. A r

II had a queer experience once with
a BURGLAR said Nebraska merchant,
on his way to New York to buy goods,
relates the Washington Star. ''For
the past Is years I have been making
several trips a year to New. York,
and this incident occurred about ten
years ago. I had met a very intelli-
gent and interesting woman in the
city, widow, of an age suitable for
me, and as I was widower I had
made up my mind if I liked her as
we'll when saw her again as I had
for the two weeks I had lived in the
same boarding house with her I would
begin to talk seriously to her. knew
nothing about her whatever, except
that she interested me, and as she
seemed to be a nice woman, and I.
had two boys who needed good wom-
ans care, thought she might inter
est my boys as well. She had given
me her photograph, and I had it with
me on the trip, to let her see, if neces-
sary, that I liked to have her around
On my way I stopped over one night
In Chicago with brother 1 had there,
and during the night my room was
entered by burglar. He must have
been a very smooth one, for I never
heard thing, and only knew he had
been there by finding my money and
watch and jewelry and papers done
up in a package and left on the bu-
reau. Nothing was missing as far as
I could discover. except the photo
graph, which I had left in hand
some leather frame on the bureau.
Frame and photograph were gone,
and pinned to the mirror was a note,
in good, legible hand, which read
as follows:
"'Dear Sir: Whoever you may be.
pardon me liberty I have taken in
coming unlimited into your room. I
have taken with me nothing but a
photograph of my mother. Don't tell
her.
"Possibly the hand shook when it
wrote the note, but If it did could
not detect it in the writing. Evident
~, though, it was genuine, for the
burglar had left nearly $1,000 worth
of stuff that he could have taken
with the photograph. In any event,
I did not mention the visit of ths'
burglar to my brother, and he had
not disturbed any other part of the
house, my room probably being the
first, and the photograph saving all
the others. Neither did I say any
thing to the widow about the bur-
glar, or about the other matter, eth
:er. I was just as polite as ever, but
it ended there. incidentally spoke
to her one day about my boys, and
she said she had a boy somewhere in
the world, but he had run away from
home when he was Is. and she had
not seen him in seven years. or heard
of him. There were tears in her
eyes when she spoke, and I felt a
little odd about the eyes. myself, but
I kept my secret. I'm telling it now
because she died about a year ago"

slight injuries.
The accident took place before the
family had arisen. The house is a

to the bluff at the foot of the Hall

the employ of Contractor Thomas Lin
nan were at work above grading and
preparing to boulevard the street. The
steep incline is sixty feet in height.

A Dry Month.

The month that ended at midnight,
May 81, was the second dryest in the
history of Minnesota. The precipita-
ton in Minneapolis amounted to but
.43 of an inch, and the northern coun-
ties of the state had very little more
rain. The dryest May on record was
in 1861, when the precipitation
amounted to .o6 of an inch. This was
in the days before the weather bureau
was established in either Minneapolis
or St. Paul, and what observations
were taken were made by individuals.
The person who recorded the rainfall
of May, 1861, was a. man of unusual
intelligence, and it is safe to believe
that his observations are trustworthy.
