Arkansas Train kobbers Have Not
Been AppreheHded.

Memphis, Tenn, April 24.-Detec-
tives are hard al work at the scene
of the daring train robbery on the
Choctaw. oklahoma and Gulf railroad
near Iron Mountain Crossing, Ark,
Monday night. but SO far no arrests
have been made. 1t is stated by an
official of the Wells-Fargo Express
company that the bandits secured less
than $500.
1t is suspected that the men who
perpetrated the robbery were in Mem
phis Monday night. a short time be

ington We're on duty at the time. They
declined to sell them tickets TO that
place. as no trains stop there. The
men insisted on buying tickets, both
apparently nervously anxious To board
the outgoing Kansas City train. They
stated that tickets We're wanted for
several persons.
The supposition is that the robbery
was planned To take place at Bridge
Junction, and the robbers were the
men who wanted tickets to that point.
their purpose being to go to Bridge
Junction on the Kansas City $50 train
and wait for the incoming of the Choc-
taw express, which reaches Bridge
Junction about 1903 a. m
General Agent Longacre of the
Wells Fargo Express company says
that every effort is being made to ap
prehend the bandits. that private de
tectives and special agents of the rail
road and the express company We're
engaged on the case Owing to the
bottoms being overfiowed. he does not
think the bloodhounds will be able TO
trail the robbers. The Wells Fargo
Express company has standing re
ward which will apply in this case.
Mr.. LonCacre thinks the robbery was
the work of seven men.

C., R. & N. Wins
In the Subsidy Elections at Peru and
Converse Desperate Fight Made
by the pennsylvania.

The c., r. & NJ won a signal vic
tory at Peru and Converse yesterday
in the subsidy elections at those
points. The subsidy voted at Peru
was $50, 900 and that at Converse
SIS, 900. The vote at Peru was >, U90

| Converse tie subsidy was carried by
PIP majority.
The desperate fight made by the
PENNSYLVANIA to defeat these subsi-
dies is shown by the fol owing dis
patch from Peru in yesterday 5 Indi-
annapolis News:
That the Pennsylvania railway peo-
pie have made a serious mistake In
bringing their heaviest forces to bear
toward defeating the subsidy III favor
of the new Cincinnati, Richmond 4
Muncie railway, which is being voted
upon today, is evidenced by the
Indignation which it has aroused
among all classes of people in this
city, almost to the verge of riot. This
animosity will continue, even If the
city votes for the subsidy. There was
never time in the history of Peru
when interest was at such white
heat, and at present writing II looks
as if the citizens would vote the ap-
preparation. 1t has been a bitter
struggle for some time, and especial
ly so during the past three days. Lit
erature by the wagon load has been
freely distributed, and the distribu-
tors followed one another so closely
that scarcely an hour interviewed be
tween them.
Last evening the Pennsylvania
people issued sheet, pun porting to
be a new evening daily, the Call. 1t
was given up entirely to dlsparaging
the new railway project. This morn
ing the Peru Journal issued a
o clock edition, giving the details of
the mass meeting at the court house
last night, and refuting statements
previously made by the Pennsylvania
company.
The gentlemen representing the
Pennsylvania company are all high
class employees, principally attorneys
from all points between Pittsburg
and Chicago on the north, and Indi-
annapolis and ST. Louis on the south.
The feature causing the greatest in
dignation is the bold stand for public
interference with city affairs.
The meeting at the court house
last night was evidence Of the intense
feeling. Not one-half of the people
applying could enter, owing to the
crowd.

A DIAMOND Ring
Lost and FOund---Where and
and How the Missing Jew
eI Was Discovered.

Some three weeks ago Ernest Town
send of Dayton came over for few
days visit tofrieuds. He had a valise
containing some clothes and among
other things diamond ring valued
at Sl35 which he intended to present
to Miss Pearl Kleckner, inscribed in
side with the names "Ei nest and
Pearl. Homer Bell met him at the
train with two seated carriage and
the valise was put on the back seat
while they rode on the front seat
On arriQa on the west side the valisc
was gone, having, it is supposed,
joggled out of the carriage. The po
lice were notified and notices were
put in the papers offering a reward
and no questions asked for the return
of the valise and contents, but moth
ing could be learned of it.
About two weeks ago the police
were notified that Belle Copeland, a
colored woman living on the west
side near the kleckner home, had a
diamond ring. Officer McManus was
given the case and went over.
The Copeland woman denied all
knowledge OF such a ring. She had
ring with glass set and this she
claimed was all the ring she had ever
had. The officer kept after it, how
ever, and made two trips over, hop
ing To surprise her with the ring. but
failed until yesterday when he went
over for the third time to arrest her
for some other misdemeanor. This
time the officer caught her with the
rir 9 on, and recognized it. He kept
watch on it until he had her in the
city Jail and then took it from her
She tells the officer that she
got the ring from friend
named Henry, and that is all
she will tell. The grip which con
tanned it was found in her room and
all the other contents were recov-
cred. The ring was bought at Day
ton and is worth S135. AS to what
will be done about the reward and
the like nothing can DO said until Mr..
Townsend comes over. When word
was sent over yesterday OF the lind
ing of the ring he was not in the
.ity. He is expected to come over
rs soon as he returns to Dayton. The
Copeland woman was sent to Jail on
another charge this morning and the
property will be held by the police
until MIR. Townsend 5 arrival, when
1t will be decided whether to prose
cute the woman for larceny or not.
She IS liable to that prosecution, as
she held the ring when she could not
but have known better.
