ONE ROBBER LESS
EXPRESS MESSENGER USED HIS GUN
INSTEAD OF OPENING DOOR.
Four Men Attempted to Hold Up Passen-
ger Train In Colorado Other Robbers
Took the Dead Mans Body and Ran
for Cover Sheriff and Posse In Close
Pursuit.

Trinidad, Colo. Nov. 2O.-Four
masked robbers held up passenger
train No. z on the Colorado & Southern
road, IL miles south Of here today.
One of the robbers was shot by Express
Messener H. W. Sherwick, OF Fort
Worth, Tex.
The robbers tagged the train, and
as it slowed up they ran alongside Of
the engine and covered the crew with
revolvers. They then compelled the
engineer, John Guilfril, to alight, and,
after placing sack containing dyna!
mite under the baggage car and attach
ing fuse to the explosive they order
ed 6uilfril to ignite the fuse. This he
attempted to do several times, but for
some reason the fuse would not burn.
During this proceeding the robbers
kept up fusillade in the direction ol
the train for the purpose of intimidat4
ing the passengers. While they were
preparing to rearrange the dynamite
and fuse, Messenger sherwick, after
extinguishing the lights in his car,
quietly opened side door in the car
far enough to admit gun barrel, and
fred at the nearest robber. The latter
dropped in his tracks. His startled
companions picked him up and quickly
disappeared in the woods near by,
None Of the passengers were molested.
The sheriff Of Las Animas county inn
mediately organized a posse and is now

FIRE LOSS 100000.
Big Armour Packing House Plant at Sioux
City Entirely DESTROYED.

Sioux City, Iowa., Nov. 19.-Armour
q Co.'s packing plant, which occupied
four acres Of the stockyards, and was
valued at 100000, was totally de-
stroyed early this morning by fire
which started on the second floor of the
fertilizer building, and is thought by
Manager Lennon to have been due to
either spontaneous combustion or to an
imperfect dryer. The loss is partly
covered by $72i, 900 insurance. Five
hundred men are thrown out OF employ
ment. Within an hour after the flames
were discovered by a watchman six
streams OF water were being thrown
upon the flames, which we're cutting
the fertilizer building, 120x60 feet and
four stories high, but the pressure was
inadequate. The floors and contents of
the building burned like chaff. The
roof soon fell. and the fire burst through
into the beef-killing house. AT the
same time the cattle chute ignited, and
in five minutes fell with a crash.
Once inside the beef-killing house, the
flames began to dance merrily. From
this house to the oleomargarine build
ing was only step, and when the oils
started to burn the fire presented
most spectacular appearance. The
big beef house, containing 500 carcass
es, next caught fire, and the whole
plant, except the hog house, was lake
of ere.
The roar was terrific. The country
for miles around wss illuminated.
Suddenly there was a terrific detona.
tion, followed quickly by another, and
then another. Twenty-four drums OF
100 pounds OF ammonia each exploded
before the reserve supply in the am
monia cistern was reached. That ex-
plosion almost razed the entire plant.
The flames were blown through the
fire wall which separated the hog house
from the other buildings. The hog
house contained $500 dressed hogs and
100000 pounds of pork products.
Steadily the fire crept against the
wind and through the Office building,
Not scrap of paper was saved. When
the last of the ammonia drums was
going off, burning chute fell upon a
bunch Of live hogs, and their squeals
we're added to the appalling chorus.
After the fire got good headway in
the hog house, the shops, chicken pack
ing plant, ice houses and ice runways
and smaller department houses were
consumed in quick succession.
The terrible roaring continued un-
abated. The high brick walls Crum-
bled and crashed one by one, and the
gradually ate its way
through building after building. The
fire department was inadequate. The
pressure was hardly strong enough to
throw water to the roof Of the pork
house,. When the walls Of this de-
partment burst, the firemen played
their streams on the buildings until
daylight.
The fire burned all day and this
afternoon there was another terrific ex-
plosion, which threw bricks and pieces
Of iron for hundreds Of yards. No one
was hurt.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 20.-saturday
night Harry Corbett and pal attempt

ops that the young man lived in Ken

intimate acquaintance with the family
affairs OF the elder Corbett. Corbett
told the Sopkane police that he was a

hence it was necessary to do a little

BOND FOR DRRpoH LEASE.
Upon Its Approval by Secretary Of War
Work VIII Be Commenced.

Work VIII Be Commenced.
Washington Nov. 20. The Port Of
Portland will be required to give bond
beford the secretary Of war will aps
prove the contract, recently made fof
the lease OF one .oi its dredges for 4 use
on the Columbia and Willamette below
Portland. When the contract recently
made between the Port OF Portland
commission and Captain Langftt was
received here it was referred to the
Judge advocate general, who has just
recommended that bond be procured
to free the government from liability
for any expenses incurred in the opera
tion Of the dredge. Under this contract
the government can lease either dredge
by paying $155 per day for the old one
OF S2S5 per day for the new dredge
Columbia. The Port will be expected
to furnish the crew and fuel, and bear
all expenses Of operation. The bond is
required as an extra piecaution, such
as is frequently required in government
contracts. The department expects the
bond will be readily furnished. When
at hand, the contract will be approved
and expenditures can be commenced
under the appropriation Of $25O,0OO
made last session.
Now that the government has the
option Of operating dredge Of the Port
Of Portland, it is thought by some en-
gineers that it will be unnecessary tc
ask for future appropriations for build
ing a government dredge for the river
below Portland. /.
The engineers Office has about COM
pleted plans for remodeling the trans
port Grant into sea dredge for use In
cutting a temporary channel across the
bar at the mouth OF the Columbia
river.
These plans will soon be widely adj
vertised, but the work will undoubtedly
be done at San Francisco, where the
Grant now lies.

GERMANY
KING OSCAR GAVE US CONSIDERABLY
THE WORST OF THE DEAL.
Fun Extent Of Decision just Made Known
The British and Americans Had No
Rights. According to the Views Of the
Arbitrator, to Protect Life and Prop
erty or Uphold Samoan Court.

Washington, Nov. IS.--By previous
arrangement between the officials,
there was today published simultan-
eously is Washington, London and
Berlin the full text Of the decision
given by his majesty, King Oscar II.
as arbitrator between the three coun-
tries named, Of certain claims ewing 70
military operations conducted in Samoa
in the year 1899. The decision is long
and abeunds in whereases and conclr-
sionf, and in substance 1t has been
announced heretofore in the cable dis
patches from Stockholm. The preced-
ing publication, however, did not con-
vey to the officials here full realisa-
tion Of the complete victory won by
Germany in this arbitration. for il ap
pears that on every point the arbitrator
adopted the most extreme German
view, in opposition to Great Britain
anu tno Uniteu ctates.
The arbitration grew out Of claims by
Germans or British subjects or Ameri-
can citizens for compensation on ac-
count Of losses they alleged they had
suffered in consequence of unwarTanted
military action on the part Of German,
British or American officers in Samoa,
between the first Of January, 1899, and
the 18th Of May following. The ques-
ton really at issue was whether or not
the British and United States govern
ments should be considered responsible
fol tke losses.
The arbitrator recites that the United
States ship Philadelphia and the Brit
iHh steamers PorpoiHe and Royalist, on
March Is, 1899, opened fire across the
town Of Apia, Samoa, directing the
same against the forces Of High Chief
Mataafa; that the same vessels brought
the newly appointed king OF Samoa,
MaHetoa, and his forces to Mulinuu
point and supplied them with arms and
ammunition for the ensuing struggle
against Mataafa. In answer to the
British and American claims that
under the treaty Of Berlin, any one Of
the signatory powers was authorized to
enforce the decision Of the chief justice
Of Samoa, declaring Malietoa king, the
arbitrator says;
eve have found nothing in the said
general act, or any subsequent agree
ment, which authorizes one of the
signatory powers, or majority OF them,
to take action TO enforce the conditions
Of the act or to make the decisions Of
the chief justice binding on the part OF
the United States" The decision con-
cIudes as fellows:
"That the military action In ques-
tion, namely, the bringing back OF the
Malietoans and the distribution to them
OF arms and ammunition, the lombard
ment, the military operations on shore
and the stoppage of the street traffic,
cannot be. considered as having been
warranted and that, therefore, his
Britannia majesty's government and
the United States government are re-
sponsible, under the convention Of the
9TH Of November, 1899, for losses
caused BY said military action; whie
reserving for a future decision the ques-
tion as to the extent to which the two
governments, or each Of them, may be
considered responsible for such losses.

WHEAT ESTIMATE TOO LOW.
So Says the State Grain Inspector Of the
State of Washington.

0bubO Vi w dShAuS SVHes
Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 20. - State
Grain Inspector Arrasmith, in an in
terview, said today: 81 believe the es-
innate of the 1902 wheat crop, recently
published, is much too low. The pub
lished figures place the yield of the
state at 18, 300, 900 bushels. | have
no desire to pad the figures of this
years crop, but l am satisfied that
"a 1000, 900 bushels is very conserva-
tive estimate. | base my estimate as
follows: The acreage sown to wheat
this year was about 10 per cent in
crease over the acreage sown last year.
The crop this year has been much
lighter than last, but the decrease per
acre will not amount to more than 30
per cent. Add the 10 per cent in
creased acreage, and have at least
"A per cent of last years crop, OF about
25, 100000 bushels. 81 have just re-
turned from trip through the eastern
part of the state, and find that in MANY
counties the yield was considerably
underestimated. For instance, in
Whitman county the yield was from
80 to 40 bushels to the acre, which is a
very fair average yield. There are
other localities where the yield has been
overestimated, and where tie crop did
not run over 10 bushels to the acre, but
those places are not many. There is
an immense amount of wheat held in
the warehouses OF the eastern part OF
the state. In many OF the towns along
the line the warehouses are full, and
great stacks of wheat are piled up
along the sidetracks and covered with
tarpau,in. There is also a large
amount of the crop still in the hands
of the farmer. While east / visited
many farms where practically the
entire crop was still stacked up in the
fields or slowed away in the barns"
