trafled these men to their homes: q.
G. Richmond, Bob" Afford, George
Brown, John Gibson. atom" Edwards
and "Jack" Barr were arrested and
taken to Atoka, where they were
jailed.
The other men connected with the
robbery rode away on horseback anc
had not been captured.
The messenger and clerk were forced
to assist the bandits in their work.
With Postal Clerk Tulley holding an
empty mail sack, the robbers went
through the coaches and robbed every
messenger. They obtained $3.50 In one
coach. A negro who refused to give
up his money was severely beaten.
The passengers were compelled to
throw all their valuables into the
pouch.
After the work was done the rob-
bers, who seemed to enjoy the situa'
tIon, sat around and laughed over the
matter, and one even went back into q
car to get something. After holding
the train two hours the robbers left,
going east into the dense bottom tim

by two men with masked faces. About
the same time the express messenger
and the mail clerk were orderetR to
open their cars. three of the robbers
shooting wildly.
There was no response. and the
firing began again. The conductor.
brakemen and porters ran through
the train calling out. "It's hold up!'.
The awakened passengers tried to
hide their money and valuables.

ploded, tearing a side off the express
and mail car. The robbers leaped
through the opening and overpowered
the messenger.

CHOLERA FROM GREEN POTATOES.
Rush to sell Unrnatured Vegetables
Causes Epidemic,

Worcester, Mass.-Cholera morbus
Is epidemic here, and physicians be-
lieve the cause is the unripe potato.
One physician said that he would no
more eat one of the potatoes now be-
ing sold than he would take so much
poison.
The present stringency in the mar
ket has driven farmers Of all parts Of
the country to put their potatoes on
the market while the prices are in the
air. 1t Is better harvest season now
than it will be later, when the fall
crops come in.
All five members Of one family were
taken i'll Gfter eating dinner. All had
eaten potatoes freely.

ORDERS HIS WEALTH BURNED.
a Minnesota Recluse's Will Directs tin
Destruction of $4,000 in Cash.


st. Paul, Minn.-Harry Scott. an &c.
centric recluse, who died at Faribault,
left will in which he stipulates that
all his cash, amounting to $4,000,
shall be burned by his executors.
Scott was worth about 100000. To
his servant girl he left $1,000. but his
nephew, his only relative, does not
get a cent. The bequest of money to
The servant was in return for the care
she gave to Scott during his last ILL.,
ness.
Scott's nephew will probably contest
the will on the ground that his uncle
was of unsound mind. It Is not be-
lieved that any court will permit the
money to be burned, but will find that
Scott was insane. The money would
then revert to the nephew.
Scott was eightysix years old. Two
years ago he became estranged from
his wife, who died a few months
later, and he then declared that no one
should profit by his money.
