AFTER TRAIN ROBBERS
Union Pacific Prepared For a

Cheyenne. Wye, June 12.-Assistant
superintendent W. A. Whitney re-
turned today from Rawlins and reports
everything quiet there. There has been
no hold-up and none is anticipated. al
though the country between Rawlins
and Green River IS filed with tough
characters.

liberately step out, took light and
ran down the stairs, expecting to find
his brother with his life crushed out
by the fall, but he was much surprised
when he saw him standing on his feet

that was rendered him, then quietly

A New Musieui instrument.

A new instrument which is said to
combine the tone and compass Of a
violin, a viola, a violoncello and q
double base, has just been invented by
4 Viennese musician named Kuhmay-
err. 1t resembles piano in appear
ance and is played by means OF a
keyboard and pedals. Each key is
connected with bow, which passes
over the strings in the manner OF a
violin. The mechanism Is said to be
exceedingly ingenious, so that the
most rapid runs, shakes and staccati
can be easily executed, while by
pressing the keys gently or firmly ev-
cry graduation of sound from soft to
loud can be produced. The instru-
ment is called "Streiehklavier," and
the inventor is said to owe the sug-
gestion of it to Gounod.

it had passed two feet beyond the ne.

Steamship Manned by Women.

The Austrian steamer Fora, from
Alexandretta, seaport in northern
Syria, which place she. left on July
8, with a cargo Of licorice and gen.
eral merchandise, is commanded by
Capt. Calagrovich. The Fora is con-
signed to L. Ruzelli, and he insisted
that the ship be manned by a crew
Of Turkish women.
Said Mr.. Ruzelli: "Yes, the Zora's
crew are all females. Strong and
sturdy, every one Is, too. In fact,
there are no better sailors in the
world than the Turkish women of
Alexandretta. They are used to the
sea from infancy. No one can handle
boat better. Anyhow who knows a
Turkish woman from a man? They
all dress alike"
Continuing, he declared that these
Turkish Amazons could not be ex.
celled in seamanship.

The First Motorman.

An English paper says as far back
as 1904 M. Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss
engineer, first drove cart by the aid
of motor the force being gas. The
first experiment took place at Sion,
in the Canton of Grisons, 1904. In
1913 the inventor made another ex-
pertinent at Vevey, on lake Geneva,
with cart ten feet long and loaded
with 1,4O0 pounds Of stone and sew
eral persons. A large crowd wit
messed the drive down the principal
street, and as the experiment was
successful the inventor took out .
patent. which was granted him by
the French government. The docu-
ment still exists, and proves beyond
doubt that De Rivaz conceived the
idea of a motor car nearly century
ago.

Bee. Swarm In Ships Mast.

Swarms of bees have been record

Rhone, recently arrived at Bordeaux
from Dakar, mounted one OF the
masts on Tuesday evening, but had
scarcely reached the top when he
was attacked by a swarm Of bees
that had somehow established their
"hive" there, and was so severely
stung that he fell into the water,
hurting himself rather badly. Ulti-

Equalization of Wages

Another battle, and not Of little i'm

wages of men and women for the
same class of work. In every walk OF
life where you find women working
you will find them underpaid and
rarely ever receiving the same pay
man would receive we're ne doing the
same work. This method of injustice
that has been established of basing
remuneration upon the sex OF the
