ies-May Take Months to Capture

st. Paul, July General Auditor D.
press company, said yesterday that the
exact amount of the loss by the. Great
Northern in the train robbery at Wag-
ner Wednesday was SAL, 800. All but
$500 was currency sent from Washing
ton to the Montana National bank at
Helena. The $500 was Great Northern
money in the through safe. The ex-
press company is responsible for the
entire amount. Mr.. Elliott received
word late yesterday afternoon that the
identity of the robbers had been we'll
established by Pinkerton men sent
from st. Paul. He did not care to give.
the names until satisfied that the de-
tectivas had made no mistake.
Robbers Are Experienced.
IF the Pinkertons are right, the rob-
bers are experienced, and have held up
trains on other roads," said he. The
report that the robbers had been sur
rounded Mr.. Elliott said was not veri-
fed by the information the Great
Northern had received. Their horses
were captured by posse about fifty
miles south of Malta, Mont. Officials
of the express company think the rob-
bers had fresh mounts in wait for them
there, and it is supposed that they have
eluded their purSuers and are now In
the Little Rocky mountains, in wild
and broken country offering ample
hiding places. 1t is not improbable that
it may take months to capture the
gang, since it is practically impossible
to follow them.

Great Falls, Mont, July 6. The
Great Northern transcontinental train
NO. 3, leaving st. Paul Tuesday morn
ing at O'Clock, was held up at Wag-
rer, Mont, nineteen miles east OF
Great Falls, at 5 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon by three men. who blew
open the express car and wrecked the
through safe with dynamite, securing
$4,000. The robbery, in daylight, was
one of the boldest that ever occurred
in the West.
One of the robbers boarded the
blind baggage" car at Hinsdale,
station about twenty miles east of
Wagner. He appeared to be a com
mon hobo, but when the conductor dis
covered him at a stop almost immedi-
ately afterward he drew q. heavy
Colts revolver and ordered him 10 re-
turn to the rear of the train on penal
ty of death. The hobo then climbed
over the locomotive tender and at the
Point of His Revolver
compelled; the engineer and fireman to
stop the train at a ravine few miles
east of Wagner, where his confeder-
ates, two in number, both masked. lay
in wait. The hobo then compelled the
engine. Firing began on both sides Of
the train as it came to stop. Pas
sengers on the train began to look out
of the windows and a brakeman
alighted on one side of the train, while
Travelling Auditor Douglas alighted OH
the opposite side. They instantly be-
came the targets of Winchesters in the
hands of the robbers. A passenger ON
rict
Of the window, was struck by stray
bullet and seriously injured. Two
other passengers were shot, but neither
was seriously injured. To wreck the
door of the express car with dyna-
ates who appeared from the ravi1e
were literally supplied, was the
Work of an Instant.
The express messenger was compelled
to leave the car at the point of a rife
and the through safe was Immediately
dynamited. The first charge Gid not
break it open, and four others in quick
succession We're necessary before it
was forced. The robbers hurriedly
gathered in its contents, consisting If
specie shipments, drafts, coin and
valuable negotiable paper, and retreat
ed, keeping the train crew and passen-
gers off at the point OF their rifles.
All three disappeared in the rayine.
and were seen later, one mounted Gu
bay horse, one upon white horse and
one upon a bucissk;n, heading south
ward at a furious gait, the booty being
plainly visible in a sack thrown across
the saddle bows of the rider Of til:
buckskin horse.
On arrival of No. at Wagner She.-
if Griffith organized a posse Of ten
men and started en- the trail of the
robbers. The three men Were recog-
nized by the engineer and he is with
the poSse.

One Of the queer charities in New
York is the auctioning of homeless and
destitute men in Madison Square every
night. Chaplain Rather, a worker
among the poor, who is unconnected
with any church organization started
the scheme. The auction idea was hit
upon by mere accident, but it proved
more popular than the old style of
making collections. The chaplain will
pick out ragged specimen of human
ity, stand him on the curb and shout,
-'What am 1 bldg" The crowd invari-
ably takes the cue with good humor,
and someone usually starts bidding at
five cents. Often the homeless ones are
knocked down at fifty or sixty cents,
when the crowd is especially liberal or
good humored. The money is then
passed over to the object of his attrac-
ton. Every night between eleven and
twelve line of homeless and penniless
men form in Madison square and as the
theaters empty their crowds, Chaplain
RATHER mounts bench and invites at.
fention to his human wares.

1nsurrection Still Exists.


OF the twenty-seven provinces or
ganized Civil Governor Taft said the
insurrection still exists in five. This
will cause the continuance of the mill
itary government in these sections.
Sixteen additional provinces are re-
ported without instructions, but as
yet they have not been organized. Four
provinces are not ready for civil gov
eminent. The speaker predicted that
with the concentration Of troops into
larger garrisons it would be necessary
for the people to assist the police in
the preservation CT order.
In connection with educational eff
forts Gov. Taft said that adults should
be educated by an observation of
American methods. He said that there
was a reasonable
Hope That Congress
would provide a tariff suitable, one
that would assist in the development
of the Philippines instead Of an appli-
cation of the United States tariff. Ac-
ccrding to the civil governor there is
an unexpended balance in the insular
treasury of $3,7O000O and an annual in
come of s1O000,000. He said that any
possible friction between civil and mil
itary subordinates should be discour-
aged. The patriotism Of the leading
FiliDinos was commended. In conclu-
sion, Gov. Taft reiterated a hope ex-
pressed by the president that in the
future the inhabitants would be crate.
full for the American Philippines VIC
tories, and that they would be indis-
solubly linked in ties of affection with
the United States.

The first active step in the war Oh
the famous-or infamous-Jersey mos
quitoes was taken last month, when
simultaneous attacks were made upon
several points of their breeding
grounds. The Hackensack meadows
and the marshes about the Oranges
have always been prolific sources of
this insect pest. Under the direction
of the entomologist of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, the sur
face of the water in the marshes was
treated with kerosene. The applica--
ton will be renewed several times
during the summer. Success will be Of
the greatest benefit to public health,
but the determination of the Jersey
mosquito will rob the humorist of one
of his dearest treasures.
