FOUGHT HARD no ESCAPE
Suspected Train Robber Proved to Be
Desperate Man.

5uspeeted Train Robber Proved to Be
Desperate Man.
Nashville, Tenn. Oct. 2S.-A desper-
ate man fought his way clear of two
city detectives here yesterday and after
thrilling chase made good his escape.
In his race for liberty he utilized a
two-horse wagon, horse and buggy
and a riding horse, all forcibly taken,
while two dead bloodhounds mark the
first portion Of his trail.
Officers believe the man is one Of
the gang that held up the Great North
ern express near Wagner, Mont, last
June, as his attempt to get change
for 500 bill Of the series secured in
that robbery attracting attention of
the police to him.
Yesterday morning a raw-boned man
about five feet ten inches high. with
fiorid complexion, offered the bill in
payment of small purchase made in
a storehouse on the public square.
Difficulty In making the chance caused
the salesman to closely notice the bill
which proved to be on the Montana
bank. The police were quietly notified,
the clerk meanwhile delaying the mat
ter of changing the bill. Detectives
Dwyer and Dickens were soon on hand
and approaching the man demanded
his name.
ferguson" was the reply, and after
another question or two Detective
Dwyer informed the man he was under
arrest. Quick as a fash Ferguson had
a revolver in each hand and started
for the door. A hand-to-hand fight en-
sued, both officers graphing with the
stranger, who proved more than a
match for them. Using his pistols as
clubs he fought his way to the door
and fed down the street, and was soon
out of sight.

THIS II CZOLGOSZ'U
LAST DAY Oh LIFE
Assassin Receives Message
From His Parents
Body Of Anarchist May be DESTROYED
and His Clothes aud Papers
Burned

Cleveland. O., Oct. 2s--In an inter
view yesterday afternoon the elder
Czolgosz was asked what he had to
say finally to his unfortunte son.
The old mans eyes filled with tears
ms he replied deliberately: Tell Leon
that hope that he may rest in peace
that he will become reconciled 10
God and will meet his end bravely
Tell him that as much as | and all
of our family regret his most unhappy
plight that we can do nothing to in
terfere. that he alone is responsible
for his unfortunate position. and that
he must meet his punishment as a
consequence"
Further. questions elected the in
formation. that the purpose Of the
visit OF Waldeck Czolgosz to Auburn
Is to arrange for the disposition Of the
body after the laws mandate has
been carried out. Up to this afternoon
no communication had been received
BY the elder Czolgosz from Waldeck
and this is taken to mean that the
fathers presence is not desired al
the death scene. The entire arrange
ment OF the after part OF the laws
course are in waideck's hands, and
what steps he will take is a matter oI
uncertainty.
Paul Czolgosz, the father, stated
that there was some fear Of mutila
tion OF other undesirable occurrenc'
at some time or other II the body
should be brought to Cleveland imme
diately after the electrocution. Thii
fear has led to the consideration o
cremating the body at Buffalo or som'
other city where a crematory is avail
able. Fear that the body might h'
stolen If buried in the usual name
is also a reason for cremation beinl
favored.

Auburn, n. Y. oct. 2S.-The time
that Leon F. Czolgosz, assassin Of
President Mckinley, has to live is
reclSoned by hours now, but there has
been no relaxation Of the stringent
rule under which the prisoner has
been secluded since his confinement.
Auburn prisOn was closed Sunday TO
any who sought the assassin. and so
Il will remain until the prisoner has
paid the penalty which the lew ex-
acts. In fact the plan to deprive
Czolgosz living Of any notoriety has
been extended to deprive Czolgosz
dead OF notoriety.
Immediately after the execution the
clothing of the murderer, with the
vast accumulation OF mail that came
TO the prison for him, will he burned,
and If possible the request Of the par
ents of the dead man for his remains
will be evaded. II is feared that the
removal OF the body to Cleveland
would lead toiscenes Of an unfortunate
nature and the prison officials are
very anxious to avoid anything Of
the kind
The hour OF on Tuesday morning
IS the time set by Warden J. Warren
Mead for the execution.
Various reports changing that time
went through Auburn yesterday and
last night One rumor placed the
time at o'clock tomorrow, but that is
discredited by the fact that Superin
tendent Of state Prisons Cornelius v
Collins will not arrive here until
o'clock this afternoon, and none Of the
regularly summoned witnesses have
yet reached Auburn.
