San Francisco, Oct. "a. A bold train
hold-up occurred at an early hour yes
terday morning at Walker, near Cot
tage Grove, oregon, when the South
ern Pacific train No. 16 was held up
by two heavily armed masked men.
The men climbed on board the train
just as it was pulling out Of Cottage
Grove.
When the train was approaching
Walkers the robbers climbed over it
onto the tender and at the point of a
gun compelled the engineer to stop the
train. Then they called upon the eX-
press messenger to open the car.
The messenger was armed with a
shotgun and told them he would kill
them if they attempted to come in.
The robbers said they would blow the
a up with dynamite and did attempt
to do so. They riddled the al with
bullets, but the brave messenger kept
them at bay with his shotgun.
The robbers finally desisted and
ordered the engineer to run to a point
near Goshen, where they rifed the reg
istered mail pouches and made good
their escape. Posses are in pursuit

St. Louis, Oct. 24.-The Louisiana
Purchase exposition in st. Louis in
1903 will be the first in the worlds
history in which hills enter into the
composition of the main exposition
picture" The natural topography of
the site prompted this radical depar-
ture.
Forest park is the second largest
half of this park. the unfinished por-
ton, was granted to the exposition
company by the city of ST. Louis as an
exposition site.
This part of the park is hilly. 1t on
tains a large level tract of about 400
acres which formerly supplied space
for golf links and a ace track. From
this level the ground rises on a slope
of about 60 degrees to an average
height of sixty feet.
The main exhibit buildings. the big
towers, the lagoons, basins, canals
%statuary groups will occupy the lower
level. The art gallery and its by
buildings and the United States gov
eminent building are to be built on the
elevated tract.
The main picture of the exposition
is roughly in the shape of a gigantic
fan. the ribs of which are the avenues
of the exposition. At the Apex of this
!! radiant composition stands the art
| building on an eminence.
Three great cascades that issue from
| the sides of three hills in the form of
a crescent are to curse down the hill

From the basin two streams, in imi-
tation of a natural river. branch to

picture covers two-thirds of a square
mile. The buildings are on an heroic
scale.
Those in the main picture are to be:

day, when he happened to be nea the
girl, the trader remarked:
Yes, | have some soap"
That night, while the white man
was supposed to be listening to a
serenade, he heard the story of the cap
tured girl. He learned, also, that a
Kiowa buck had been negotiating for
her purchase, and intended to take her
to Southern New Mexico. The trader
offered $1,000 in cash for the girl. His
offer was accepted, and the girl was
started toward the home Of friends in
Illinois. On the way to the Indian
agency, a former owner Of the girl, an
old Arapahoe, demanded a horse and
gun from the trader. These were Civ

years after her capture. and soon after

Together with his three SONS. he had
escaped from the wagon train. which
was burned by the Indians at Rock
Creek.
Since a year ago Mrs. Cook has en-
deavored to sift the story of the white
squaw of the Arapahoe tribe. with the
hope that she might prove to be her
younger sister. But SO far she has
come to no satisfactory result. She
has depended upon the reports of

Captain Nickerson, whose %headquar-
tiers are at the Shoshone agency on
the Wind River reservation, believes
that the white squaw came from white
%parentage, and may possibly be the
lost sister Of Mrs. Cook.
"Of course | have seen the squaw,"
said he. and l have tried to learn her
true story. But hat is rather a hard
thing to do. She herself speaks only
the Indian tongue, and says she has no
recollection of any white parents.
Moreover, the Broken Horn, her hus-
band, is not altogether anxious that
she should be made the subject of an

some one attempt to visit his wife,
he might move further back in the
country. Broken Horn himself is moi
altogether free from being lazy, and
he Is afraid that the whites might take
away his sQuaw. She is contented as
an Indian, in fact is an Indian. She
has lived with the tribe or with In
dams since her childhood and un-
doubtedly she would refuse to leave
her adopted home. Nevertheless, l

possible way in her search for her lost
