FOR TRAIN ROBBING
lMARsHALs ARREST SIX MEN
NEAR CANEY RoLDUP.

Five Masked Men Stop Local Passen-
ger at Indian Territory station-Pas-
sengers Compelled to Disgorge What
They Have of Value.
Fort Worth, Tex. Aug. 14.-Tne
south-bound Missouri, Kansas and
Texas train No. was robbed at Caney
switch, l, T., at 1:05 a. M by five
masked men. The express car was
blown open, the safe wrecked and the
mail sacks rifled. All the passengers
were robbed of their money. After
the work was done the robbers, who
seemed to enjoy the situation, sat
around and laughed of the matter, and
one even went back into car to get
something.
After holding the train two hours,
the robbers left, going east into the
dense bottom timber. for which the
tortuous Caney creek is noted. The
trainmen cut out the wrecked express
advised officers up and down the road.
Within two hours posses Of United
States marshals, with bloodhounds,
were on the trail.
The robbers secured only $1.50 from
the safe in the express car, as the
money had all been left at Muskogee
to be picked up later by the Katy
flyer, which made the day run through
the territory. They went next to the
mail car. where every pouch was
emptied and any mail considered valu-
able by the robbers was taken in
charge. They found the registered
packages and carried them off and
then took charge of large mail sack.
The robbers then went through the
coaches and robbed every passenger,
throwing the booty in the sack. They
got $3.50 in ore coach. A negro who
refused to give up his money was
beaten nearly to death. Superintend-
ent Sam Gaines of the railway mail
service says he does not believe the
robbers got much money out of the
mail pouches.
The express company says that it
lost nothing and the conductor esti-
mates the passengers loss at about
$4OO, not counting the jewelry. The
robbers gave the engineer, Lanhan, 6
diamond ring and shirt stud.
Both safes were demolished by the
explosion and the car is wreck.
j. B. Davis, deputy marshal of Col
bert l. T., arrived at Denison from
the scene of the robbery at Caney.
"The following men have been ar.
rested on the charge of committing
the robbery" said MT. Davis, "E. G.
Richmond, Bob Afford, George Brown,
John Gibson, Tom Edwards and Jack
Barr. These men were arrested at
Caney and taken to Atoka. The oper-
ator at Caney, when he heard the
shooting, suspected that the train was
being held up and telegraphed toAtoka,
12 miles away. In two hours after the
robbery was committed bloodhounds
had trailed these men to their homes.
We found three masks and found in
the firebox of the cook stove when

timber belt lying west of the Cascade
mountains. They are especially fierce
between Lake Sammamish and Sno-
qualmie river, and the lumber camps
there are in great danger. Halley's
camp on the Snoqualmie river was
saved yesterday only by the strenuous
efforts of so men. Thousands of dol
lars worth of timber have already been
destroyed, and lumbermen say that
immense damage is inevitable unless
it rains soon Another tremendous
fire is raging between Woodinville and
Grace on the Seattle division of the
Northern Pacific. Several farm dwell
ings in that vicinity have been burned.
Similar damage is being caused to tim
Der in Chehalis and Mason counties.
Passengers on the Great Northern
overland train, which arrived last
night several hours late, report that
terrible forest fires are raging on
both sides of the track in the Cascade
mountains just west of Wellington.
Four bridges caught fire yesterday,
but were kept from burning by the
swift work of the fire apparatus. The
Great Northern overland had thrill
ing race through this fire with flames
leaping about it on both sides.
Many of the passengers were over

A FEMALE HERMIT.
Never Wore Woman's Dress Until
Twenty Years Old.

California has Just learned of hand
some white girl who never saw a white
women and never wore a dress until she
was nearly twenty years old. This girl
is Madeline Carter. She is the daughter
of a hermit of the Sierras.
Carter went away from civilization
when the girl was a babe. He had plen-
ty of money, was man of education.
and was young enough to have gotten
many pleasures from contact with the
world if he had been OF normal mind
What his secret is none may say, but

Rumors of the beautiful girl who wore
boys clothes and lived the life Of boy
reached the cities now and then, but not
until the railroad was built through the
mountains near the little home of the her
NIT was the story verified.
The first white woman TO greet the
girl of the mountains was newspaper
writer, who was going over the road on
a tour of inspection and who first heard
of the mysterious mountain beauty
during this trip.
AS she approached the place she saw
a slim youth drop out Of an oak tree
and run hurriedly into the cabin. She
waited few moments, then raped on
the door. The youth-now plainly girl
of charming appearance, gowned in
satin brocade gown of old-time fashion,
met her at the door with wondering
look.
You are a woman?" she asked.
Yes

GEORGIA AND THE NEGRO.
Another Attempt at pisfranchisc.
mcnt likely TO Fail

ATLANTA, Ca, June 22.-The tcrGency
toward disfranchising the negro vote of
the South seems to be contagious, but
there is a good prospect that it will not
Overrun Georgia. An attempt in that di-
rection. however Will be made at the ses-
sion of the Legislature which will begin
next October and continue fifty days.
Two years ago a constitutional amend
ment was submitted TO that body which
embodied. practically. the Mississippi and
Louisiana plans, but ii received only two
votes of the 115 in the House of Repre-
sentatives the body in which it origi-
mated. The fact that since that time
North Carolina has excluded ignorant ne
sroes from the ballot box. while leaving
the way to it wide open to ignorant
whites. and the subsequent procedure of
Maryland and Alabama in a like direc-
ton, have embodened the advocates of
this policy to make another effort in
Georgia. They are laying their plans for
a twofold campaign.
They will not only present a constitG-
tional amendment providing for the appli-
cation of an educational qualification for
negro voters but they viii endeaYor alsJ
to put through a bill calling a constitu-
tional convention. They believe that II
they should fail of the two-thirds vote
necessary for the submission of a spe-
cific amendment to the constitution, they
may still be able to summon q ajority
vote in both houses to order a constitu-
u0nal convention. This done, they would
make the campaign leading up to the
election of delegates to the convention
mainly on the color line, ard are con-
fident of the election of u majority of del
egates to the convention who would sup
port a movement TO eliminate the bulk of
the negro vote.
1t is probable that both lines of this
effort to disfranchise the negroes of
Georgia will fail. In no State of the
South are the whites and the negroes on
such good terms. Nowhere are race
troubles less frequent. The average ne
gro in Georgia takes very little interest
in politics. and is devoting himself more
and more to business every year Many
of the most influential Democratic leaders
in this State believe that it would be
very injudicious TO disturb these friendly
racial relations. They are convinced that
it would be unwise even to agitate this
question in Georgia now, and that to
follow the examples of Louisiana. Mis-
sissippi, and the Carolinas would be a
serious detriment to the State
No leading newspaper in the State so
far has espoused the cause of the negro
disfranchisers, and it's defeat by an over
whelming majority in the Legislature in
any form it may assume is very generally
predicted. But number of politicians
are engaged in it and hope to make a stir
which will benefit themselves if it does
not accomplish anything else

AN EXCURSION ON A DOOR.
The Ride Which n Cyclone Gave to
an Ohio Man.


Christian Van den Harvner, Familiarity
known in Celina, Ohio, as Cyclone John
ny" is perhaps the only man living that
enjoys the unique distinction of having
ridden a cyclone astride a house door for
a distance of over a quarter of a mile.
This remarkable feat was performed not
as a matter of choice, but. perforce. of
necessity, by the above-named person
when The cyclone swept across Celina in
May, 1856
Cyclone Johnny's" description of the
cyclone is graphic and thrilling He was
living at the time eight miles west of Ce-
lima, and on the night of the cyclone he
and Mr.. Bryan's family were watching
the raging of the storm in the west. The
electric display was wonderful, and to him
it seemed as though the world was about
to come to an end by fire. The flashes
We're SO brilliant that the eyes could not
withstand them.
The family became alarmed and de-
cided to go to the cellar for safety. The
cellar was directly underneath the porch,
on the west side of the house, and EiarN-
ner assisted in getting the children to
this place of safety, and he was the last
one to leave the house. Just as he step
ped upon the porch and before he released
the doorknob the storm swept upon him
in all its fury. He went sailing through
the air, over the tops Of trees. the upper
most branches of which tore his clothes
from his body The gait he travelled was
terrific, and it seemed but a second from
the time he started until he found him
eslf safely dropped into a large field. un-
injured save for the scratches inflicted
upon him as he sailed over the tops of
the trees. This field was a little over a
quarter of mile from Mr.. Bryan s house,
and Harvner wandered around in the
darkness and driving rain until he met
a searching party, among whom was Mr..
BRYAN. who. together with his entire
family. were saved by their OppOrtune
