f64 at one time a gain of points from
the low price of Saturday, and IL closed
at 1895, net advance OF pOlhls' ihe
story told in connection with this advance
was that the directors of the company
will declare n larger dividend on Thurs
day, or at any rate an extra dividend
Last week there was the statement on
what was considered un.mpeachable au-
thority that the dividend rate would re-
main unchanged. If there is to be an
increase or an extra the plans of the dl-
directors have been changed since that
time. This is not impossible. 1t may pe
thought expedient by the company to
make an extra disbursement to help the
stock market in the present crisis. Posi-
bly, the dividend will depend somewhat
on the condition of President Mckinley
when the meeting of the directors takes
place. Whatever the dividend may be,
the st. Paul is one of the best stocks on
the railway list in the opinion of many
careful market people. The earnings of
the company for the past three years
Ihave been such as to warrant the belief
that it is fully as valuable property as
the Burlington.
There was also rumor yesterday that
a dividend will be declared on Smelter
stock, and in this case, too, it was said
that the move would be made to help the
general stock market
There was story in the street yester-
day that the Chicago Great Western will
issue $5,0000 900 new bonds. The money is
to be used. il is said. in making eXten-
sions of the lines of the company in var
iouS directions Possibly the bonds are
to be issued. On the other hand it is not
impossible that the talk of the issue may
be simply for the purpose of arriving Mt
a bargain with the community of interests
people, who presumably do pot wish to
see more formidable competito in the
territory.

ARRAIGNS GAME WARDEN
AND COLORADO DEPUTIES

Washington, Oct. 26.-The game warden
and deputies of Colorado are severely
arraigned in a report received by the In
dian bureau today from Indian Agent
Myton of the White Rocks, Utah, reser-
walton, now at Meeker, COL after an in
vestigation of the alleged infraction of
the Colorado game laws by his Indians.
Mr.. Myton reiterates his charges of
persecution Of Egglestone, one of the In
dams who was arrested and acquitted of
the charges and was then rearrested.
The interior department has asked the
department of justice to defend Eggle-
stone. The agent says he has ordered
nome the very few Indians from his res
ervation found in Colorado, and he will
stay week longer to see that they go.
lie says the Indians from the Southern
Ute and Navajo agency hunt in Colorado
and what they do is charged to his In
dams. He says he has found 1t tmpos-
sible to meet a Colorado game warden or
even special deputy game warden, in
the state, although he wired ahead, in
order to get from them information about
his Indians.
Mr.. Myton charges that the game war
dens took the Indians from Rio Blanco
County without any process of law, and
that public opinion is entirely with the
Indians. He says three Indians, three
women and boy, were forced to trial
without an interpreter and after being
acquitted at 10 o'clock at night We're
started at l o'clock in the morning, osten-
sibly FOR their agency.
About 10 miles from Meeker." he saws.
1.-THE Indians discovered that he (the dep
uty) had lied to them, and he was taking
them to the railroad They all broke
away from the deputies, except old man
Egglestone. and he is now in jail at Glen
wood Springs. They scattered the In
dams property ali along the road, and
much of it has been stolen or destroyed.
Suit should be brought against the game
warden to make him pay the Indians
damages"

Laurel, Del. Oct. 26.-Delmar, a town
of about 1000 inhabitants, situated in
the extreme southern end of this state,
was almost wiped out by fire today.
Nearly $50 people are homeless and the
property loss is estimated at about

Wreck a Strong Box in Store at
Berea, Ohio, and Get Off in
Safety With Booty Aggregating
More Than 100000
BALDWIN UNIVERSITY
THE HEAVIEST LOSER
Bonds, Deeds, Notes and Mort
cages OF the Institution Kept in
Safe Which Was Cracked Are
Missing-Six Men Did the
Job

Berea, Oct. 26.-One of the boldest
safe robberies ever prepetrated in this
vicinity occurred at an early hour this
morning in almost the heart of the
village. The hardware store of Law
renee & Brightman was entered, the
large safe was wrecked. and the rob-
bers made good their escape, carrying
with them booty aggregating an amount
of more than 100000.
Baldwin University bears the heav-
lest loss. C. c. Brigham, the junior
member of the firm, is also the treas
drer and a trustee of Baldwin UniveF-
slty, and all of the valuable papers of
the institution were left in Brigham's
custody and were kept in the safe
Bonds, deeds, notes and mortgages of
the university aggregating 100000 in
value were secured by the robbers.
Many of the notes held by Baldwin
University were of long standing and
bore numerous endorsements, making
1t impossible to produce them in dupli-
cate. A diligent search for the thieves
has been instituted, but as yet no clew
as to their whereabouts or identity
has been established.
A fact regarded as most singular
is that the explosion of the safe was
heard by parties residing a half mile
north and more than that distance
Southwest of the centre of the town.
while those residing in the business
district were unaware that an explo-
sion had occurred.
The force of the explosion was most
terrific. The safe was constructed on
fire and burglar proof principles, yet
the heavy doors were twisted from
their hinges as if made of paper, and
large pieces Of the safe doors were
firmly embedded in the walls of the
building, one section weighing so
pounds being blown clear through a
board partition into an adjoining room
Six men are believed to have been en-
gagged in the affair.

followed
Powers sat pale and motionless when
the verdict was announced by the fore
man, B. S. Calvert, his old schoolmate.
Opposite Powers, on the other side of
the court room with the attorneys sat
Arthur Goebel, brother of the late gov
ernor, with his eyes fixed on the pris-
oner. The attorneys of Powers shook
his hand, expressing aloud their belief
In his innocence. Women crowded
around Powers, embracing and kissing
him, and tears We're shed.
The defense having filed a motion for
new trial, Judge Cantrill, at p. M,
heard arguments on the same. The jury
was out only so minutes. Then a mo-
ton for a new trial was overruled and
the case will be appealed The SEN
tence was read and judgment suspend

tribunal Powers was taken to Frank
fort on an evening train and commit
ted to jail without bail.
