var,ins raest. OF Aees.aeas..

''Years ago." said a Maine man.
was standing beside a gun at a state
muster at Augusta when a salute TO
the governor, who had Just come on
the field, was being fired. The cannon
used was OF the old fashioned kind,
and It was prematurely discharged,
with the result that the index finger Of
the right hand of the man ramming
the load home was blown or. The
shock, together with the lodgment Of
flying particles Of powder had the ef-
feet Of driving the blood back from the
wound. during which fragment Of time
the injured man calmly examined his
mangled hand. but when the blood did
come back It came with a rush and
fairly bubbled out In a torrent The
mans calmness left him as II by magic
at the sight of the blood, and, with a
loud scream, he keeled over In a dead
faint.
"They used 10 tell story OF two men
who were working on opposite sides OF
buzzsaw. The attention Of one be-
coming momentarily distracted, he ran
his finger against the saw, and the
severed piece dropped on the other
side, where his partner was working.

casual remark, Bill, you've dropped

Mr.. Green was asked II the museums
furnished, or proposed to furnish the
financial standing of manufacturers;
that Is, give a rating, and he replied
that they would not. He said there were
no private interests to be served, and
that all officers served without COM
pensation.
The museums issue no stock, declare
no dividends, and make no invest
ments. All revenues are applied to
the development of the bureau Of in
formation concerning data, specimens
and trade conditions.
Mr.. Emmons followed Mr.. Green and
said there was a matter of principle in
volyed in this controversy. He held
that the museums were endeavoring
TO procure public support for special
private line of business which is al
ready supplied-that is, the mercantile
agency business.
II. E. Jepson, of r. G. Dun & Co, ex-
planned that when the museums were
established. the assistance Of his COM
pany was asked, and that the COM
pany's reference books were placed at
their disposal on the promise that
they would not enter into the mercan-
tile agency business. He said that
some of the assertions made in the
literature Of the museums were untrue.
R. H. Beardsley and Frank Green, OF
Bradstreet's, explained that the mer-
camille branch Of the business which
the museums was conducting was in
direct opposition to their company and
the Dun Company. Both had felt the op-
position in cities where they attempted
to get business.

were made by Geroge Remington, w

On motion OF Josiah Marvel, the
question was brought to a vote. Mr.
Marvel voted mo" in order to sustain
the position which he had previously
taken. The vote polled showed a tie
whereupon President Isawton voted

TWO TRAIN ROBBERS MEET
THEIR JUST REWARD

Denver, Aug. ia special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Goodland,
Kansas, says:
The two desperadoes who robbed the
passengers of the Union Pacific train
and killed w. J. Fay, between Limon
and Hugo, Color3 do, Sunday morning,
are dead.
The body of the one, punctured with
bullets, is lying upon stretcher in the
undertaking room of w. j. Bower &
Son, and what remains of the other
lies in the cellar among the glowing
embers of the house which was fired
to secure his capture. The robber, rath-
er than surrender. gave his body to the
flames.
Two of the posse who assisted Sher-
iff Walker in the desperate encounter
lie PROSTATE at their homes.
John Riggs is slowly dying from the
effects of two shots, one entering his
body at the upper and right side of his
abdomen, the other piercing him in
the region of the stomach.
George Cullins, who will probably
recover, was struck by shot just un-
der the right shoulder blade, the ball
entering slightly into the lung.
The two men, whom the evidence of
the things taken from the pockets of
the one that was shot prove them un-
mistakably the hold-ups of the Union
Pacific train, came to Goodland some
time Tuesday. They walked east from
town about two and one-half miles to
the house Of Joseph Cullins and asked
for entertainment Being refused, they
became boisterous and threatened Mr..
Cullins, who, resorting to the immedi-
ate use of a shotgun which was near at
hand, told the two strangers to go, and
they went From this place the pair
travelled two miles to the north, where
they secured board and lodging at the
home of d. r. Bartholomew, arriving
there at 10 o'clock at night. In this
retreat, three and one-half miles north
east of Goodland, the two men were
unmolested until to-day. They were
rather uncommunicative to the mem
bers Of the Bartholomew family. but
in response to the ordinary questions
said that their names We're Howard
and Gould, and that they We're on their
way to their home In Nebraska. As
an excuse for not coming to town, they
said they were tired and footsore. and
each day hired the Bartholomew boy,
n lad of ten years, to buy 4 daily pa
per. Seeing nothing especially peculiar
in their ton and actions, Mr..
Bartholomew did not suspect his
guests.
Thursday Mrs. o. C. Dawson visited
the family. and was impressed with
the peculiar actions of the strangers,
and communicated her suspicion to
Sheriff Walker. who wanted to go him
self that night and make the arrest.
Happily he was dissuaded by the
pleadings of his wife to delay until
morning, when n posse could be Sc
cured. Subsequently, on Friday morn
ing. Sheriff Walker, having secured
George Cullins and John Riggs to act
as deputy sheriffs, made all prepara-
tions to visit the house where the sup
posed bandits were staying.

CAPTAIN CARTER
CONCEALED MONEY

New York, Aug. 10.-The hearing to
secure the removal of John F., W. T.
and L. H. Gaynor and Benjamin u.
Greene, accused of conspiracy to de
fraud the government, to the jurisdic-
ton of the Georgia courts, was con-
tinued to-day and the prosecution
sprang a decided surprise on counsel
for defendants by calling to the stand
Robert L. Westcott, Carter's father-in-
law.
Mr.. Westcott said Captain Benjamin
D. Greene met him at the Hoffman
house and handed him a package of
bonds, asking that he take care of
them.
Garter told me about the board OF
inquiry and that he expected to be ar
rested" said Mr.. Westcott, land ask
ed me If l would receive these bonds
from Greene. l demurred. He insist
ed and l finally assented. Then
Greene met me at the Hoffman house
October IL, 1897. and gave me the
bonds. 1 deposited them in the New
York Safety Deposit Company"
Witness said Carter asked him to
90 before the board of inquiry and tes-
tify that the large amounts of money
Carter was spending were received
from him.
But 1 told him." said Mr.. Westcott.
that 1 could not do that-that could
not swear to a lie"
Westcott identified the powers of at
torney given by him 10 Carter and told
in detail of receiving the S450,O00
worth of bonds and securities from
Carter and Greene He also identified
number of checks drawn by him in
favor of Benjamin d. Greene, aggre-
eating $4,000. These sums he paid
at the request of Captain Carter, who
paid them back in various sums al
different times.
The Lamar register., 1900-08-15

The news of the undertaking spread
rapidly, and a number OF armed citi-
zens Joined the posse, leaving Goodland
at 10 o'clock. To decoy the men from
the house Sheriff Walker and George
Cullins, dressed in cowboy attire, drove
a bunch of horses up to the Bartholo-
NEW residence, but they We're met by
the members of the Bartholomew fam
lily only. Meanwhile the rest of til"
crowd came up. and, the ruse having
failed, it was decided that the house
would have to be entered to take the
men. Sheriff Walker and John Riggs
decided to perform this daring task.
The house is a combination of sod and
frame, the main portion being wood
and facing the east, while the kitchen,
built of sod, faced south.
The robbers had the advantage by
being within the sod structure, but
nevertheless Walker and Riggs entered
and simultaneously ordered the occu-
pants to throw up their hands. Instead
of submitting, they drew their reyolv
ers, and scene of tragic action was
on. Two against two, they were ex-
changing shots as rapidly rs possible.
One of the bandits being wounded
j:mped through the window, while the
other ran outdoors. All the while the
actors of both sides were lodging
around the corner Of the house. Shots
from the Winchesters in the hands OF
citizens added terror to the event. AT
that, one of the men broke out and ran.
and was shot dead by G. q. Biddison.
The other ran back into the house.
During this engagement Riggs was
shot twice, while George Cullins re-
ceived a wound in the back just be
meath the shoulder blade. The wound
toT- tr ~
speed and medical attention sum
moned.
Meanwhile Gordon was formed
around the house and means entered
upon to make the capture complete.
The bandit exchanged shots from time
to time, and held at bay for several
hours about twenty-five men. Finally
a plan to burn the house was made
successful by creeping up to the barn
situated near by, and throwing lighted
railroad fuse upon the roof. Flames
spread and enveloped the building, but
the desperate never came out, and the
sheriff and a number of other men who
were on watch are confident that their
prisoner never got away. Evidences of
the remains We're seen in the burning
debris, but they have not as yet been
removed. The robber first killed is II
man of about 175 pounds in weight,
height about five feet ten inches. has
dark hair and mustache verging to-
ward red.
Mr.. Bartholomew describes the other
as a good-siZed man. slightly sandy
and of smaller size than his compan-
ion. Both were thought to be Italians.
The pockets of the dead robber con
tanned bullets, gold watch, two black
face masks, a pocketbook containing
several dollars in silver coin, bits of
a gold watch chain and pendant. A
letter was also taken which shows a
postmark of Arroyo, New Mexico, and
addressed to Tiodora Arattano, Hugo.
Colorado.
