Cool Weather Reduces Dcath Rate in Some Cities,
But Ii Is Searching in Oilers.

Washington, July 4.-Tonight's re-
ports at the weather bureau show that
extreme high temperature continues
over a large section Of the country af-
fected by the hot wave. but that in
quite a number OF localities the Their
mometer was a few degrees lower than
on yesterday. In some others it was
higher. The lower temperatures that
were recorded were due mainly to local
thunderstOrmss and il is said that
gradual reduction OF the extreme heat

The officials win not venture an
opinion as 20 the possibility Of a cool
wave making its appearance. but con-
tent themselves with the simple state
ment OF the prODa bility OF a steady
lowering of the high temperatu re

stances which prevented his acceptance
of a similar invitation a year ago. Re

SHERIFF'S POSSE HAS
TRAIN ROBBERS At BAY
Bandits Who Held Up Great Northern Express in
Montana Are Surrounded.
Are Well Protected For a Siege and Hard Battle Is
Looked Fer.

to be the man who boarded the express
east of Wagner and forced the engineer
and fireman to bring it 20 a stop at
the head of the ravine in which his con-
federates we're hidden.
The authorities have been unable to
clearly Identify the robbers, but it Is
now thought that with the information
obtained their previous records can
easily be ascertained,
7 he work OF tracking was extreme
" difficult, owing TO the nature OF the
country, broken throughout by foot
hills and the eastern end of the Little
Rocky range. Across the line OF the
Fort Belknap reservation, only few
miles distant, there are excellent hid
ing places, and it is thought that if
the bandits should evade capture to-
night and once get in this ground, it
would be almost impossible to find
them.
Information received from Havre is
that neither Travelling Auditor Doug
lass Of Clancy, Mont, nor Brakeman
Whiteside was h5t in the fusillade' from
the bandits al the time of the robbery.
Gertrude Smith of TOmah, Wis, pas
senger in the tourist car, who WAS shot
in the arm, was Immediately attended
by q surgeon. who found that she had
sustained nothing more serious than
flesh wound. This was treated and
bandaged. and she continued her jour
ney, in company with her aunt, to Sc
attic.
Reliable information received today
is that SIC. 600 was secured, and that
this. with the damage TO the through
express shipments resulting from the
explosions in the car, wiz represent the
entire loss of the company. No infOr
nation concerning the Consignees of
the money in the through safe is OBJ
tainable. It is understood that a con-
siderable part was in the shape Of ship
ments west from Chicago banks and
other financial institutions.
Men familiar with the train robbery
business express themselves as believ-
ing that somebody gave the robbers a
tip. which enabled them to detect the
train which carried plenty Of money
in a place where it could be obtained.

Great Fails, Mont, July 4.-The three
men VINO held up the Great Northern
ranscontnentaI N.estbOund express
GEAR Wagner. 1876 miles west, yester-
1av. probably will be captured before
morning. Sherin Griffith, with a posse
Of twenty men, has surrounded them
at Buck Aliens ranch, forty miles
nth of Wagner, near the edge OF the
Old Fort Bel6Eap reservation, on the
west fork OF the HOuChette river. The
posse followed the bandits all yester-
day afternoon. finding signs Of them at
e ford on Beaver. creek, C-tN again
where they. crossed the Dry Fork.
Information that reached here late
today is that the posse came in sight
OF the men about o'clock today near
the ranch, and driving them in, sur
rounded them. Tt is probable that they
viii not be captured until after a Sc
we're fight, and at the latest adviCes
Sheriff Griffith had not made the at
tack
The bandits are thought to be housed
in the ranch buildings, with every pro-
lection for a siege. The posse may
not try to force their capture until re
Inducements are received. It is under
stood that another posse from south Of
the Missouri in the direction Of Fort
HaWley viii Join Sheriff Griffith at Al
lens ranch
The sheriTs posse has not yet OBJ
tanned descriptions OF the men, al
though Sheriff Griffith was a passen-
ger upon the train that was robbed
and saw the men escape across the
plains ON their horses. The gang was
identified today Oy their horses, and
when observed through field glasses
the white. bay and buckslin on which
they were mounted after the robbery
were plainly seen
Contrary TO first reports the men are
hot experienced train robbers. InfOT-
nation from Wagner and nearby
points is that they have been partially
identified as cow punchers employed on
e. ranch lying south OF the Milk river.
