Cut the Train in Two.

Meanwhile another bandit stepped
| between the express car and the passen-
ger coaches and cut the train in two. He
then sprang aboard the engine and order
ed the engineer to pull up the track.
When the engine had proceeded a short
distance to a point far from any human
habitation the robbers ordered a halt.
The engineer, with u revolver muzzle
pressed close to his ear, had nothing to
do but obey.
The robbers were we'll equipped for
the task before them. They drew sticks
Of dynamite from bulging pockets and
went toward the express car, taking
along the engineer and fireman.
Arriving at the door of the express car,
the robbers set off the dynamite in their
possession. This blew the express car
to pieces. The big safe in the car was
then shattered by another explosion Of
dynamite.
The money having been revealed when
the safe was blown, one of the robbers
began to pick up the cash and throw it
into bag he took from pocket. -
Robbers Flee Into Woods.
When the pile of money in sight had
vanished inside the bag the ''coin col
lector" gave the signal and his confed-
crates marched the engine crew back to
their posts. The engineer and fireman
were told to pull out as fast as possible
from the scene.
The moment the locomotive began to
move the robbers fed into the blackness
of the night and the big patch of woods
that lined the railway track. As they
were disappearing in the brush Express
Messenger Byl fired and killed one of
them. The authorities have been unable
to determine the identity of the dead
man.
Meantime a fagman on the train of
coaches that had been left a few miles
back on the road, suspecting at once
what had happened, started on the dead
run for Savanna to give the alarm. On
the way he heard the sound of the double
explosion that wrecked the express car
and the safe.
After a run of several miles the flag
man arrived at Savanna. He was then
breathless, but he managed to tell a short
story of the fate of the train.
Officers Start in Pursuit.
Policemen and railway officials were
hurriedly summoned by the station agent,
to whom the fagman had reported. It
was then L o'clock and some difficulty
was encountered in getting engines and
men together.
AT 80 o'clock, however, an engine was
attached TO a coach and the latter, filed
with heavily armed officers and railway
employees, started from Savanna for the
scene of the robbery. 1t was the inten-
ton of the officials to beat the woods on
both sides of the railway in an endeavor
to catch the bandits

Ia Blown Open-One Robber S1ain.

Train No. Al of the Chicago Burlington

masked robbers at 11:30 O'Clock Tuesday
night, the express car blown up with dy-
Mantle and the safe robbed Of sum
estimated to be $4,000.
The robbery took place about 125 miles
from Chicago between Savanna, H.,
and Marcus, a flag station eight miles
north of that place. Torpedoes were plac-
ed on the track by the bandits and as
the north-bound train exploded them the
engineer shut off the steam and applied
the brakes, thinking that there was dan
ger ahead.
The moment the train came to a stop
one of the masked robbers sprang aboard
the engine and thrust a revolver into the
face of the engineer and another at the
fireman. Both members of the engine
crew were threatened with death unless
they obeyed the commands of the rob-

STRIKE COAL NEAR SURFACE
Well BOrers Penetrate Good Vein at
Depth of Forty Feet
Near JnmestOwn.

FREMONT, Neb.. June 14-(special.c
Another vein of coal has been found at
jamestown In digging a we'll. This one is
on the farm of Seneca Hager, a mile and
a half south Of the Remmele place, where
a coal stratum was reached about a couple
Of months ago.
The vein on the Hager place is oAly forty
feet below the surface and is ffty-two
inches deep. The we'll diggers struck rock
at the depth Of about twenty feet and from
there down used a rock drill. The rock,
which was a hard, dark slate formation,
contained small streaks or seams of coal.
At a depth of forty feet clear coal was
struck free from rock or slate and APP
p~arently in a distinct vein.
On account of large sized drill being used
much larger pieces were taken out than in
the Remmele we'll, many Of them being half
as large as hens eggs. 1t is a fair quality
Of soft bituminous coal and air Stacks
quickly.
There is no question about there being
coal at jamestown, but whether 1t exists
in sufficient quantity and OF a fair quality
have not yet been determined. The expense
OF sinking down to the vein on the Hager
place will be light and q shaft is likely to
be put in.

The FIRST handicap medal play tournament
for the Cudahy cup brought out a great
crowd Of entries at the Country club Sat-
urday afternoon. and w. J. Foye won the
event by a wide margin, although he, with
R. r. Kimball carried the heaviest handi-
cap Of any, only three strokes. In winning
his tournament, too. Foye eQualed the club
record for the course. which was held by
himself, rs strokes. Foye made this last
year, and II has never been beaten save
by professionals.
The Cudahy cup is a new honor at the
club, this being its first appearance in com
petition, given by E. A. Cudahy. 1t is to
Ave months, and will then go to the man
who has won the largest number OF the
matches. This fact, and its handicap con-
ditions OF play, have already made the
trophy extremely popular, and Cudahy cup
competitions will never lack for host
OF entries. There is something Of a chance
to win this prize, as 1t includes none Of
the Twin three times in succession to hold"
conditions, which hem in some OF the
golnng honors that are hung up for an
incentive to victory.
All Make Low Scores.
The play, aside from tina Of Foye HIM
self, was largely featureless yesterday. In
fact, it was remarkable chiefly for the low
scores that were made. OF the twenty
seven players in the contest, fourteen, just

score Of 100 or over, and eleven Of the
remaining thirteen were above 80. Foye

STUDENT OFFICERS REVOLT
Cadets at Wesleyan University Re-
sign for Alleged nItreatment
mt Hands of Trustees.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb., June A.
(Special.)-The cadet officers appointed for
next year in the Wesleyan university pre-
scented their designations in a body just
before the school year closed. This is due
to an action OF the board OF trustees In
their annual meeting.
II Is reported that one Of the members OF
the board, whose son attends the univers-
ity. objected to having him under the COM
mand OF cadet oficeTs and succeeded in
having the board do away with the drill
requirements, making it voluntary, which
amounts to killing the discipline and. in
fact. the military organization.
II is said that several OF the board, when
asked what was done, could not tell. re-
Numbering merely that some action was
taken. some profess to believe that this
member Of the board hustled the motion
through while the board was busy and
when u%nthinking they voted with the ma
jority, or not at all.
Military work for the last year has been
a success. reaching its climax at the en-
campment at Milford in May. The cadet
onlcers ave labored long and patiently
and the department was coming to the
front rapidly.
With the work merely voluntary on the
part Of the students there will be no incen-
tive TO begin the work at the first OF the
year, when II must start out briskly In
order to work up enthusiasm along the line.
Those who have been instrumental In
building up the work are highly indignant
that the board should allow themselves to
be led into tearing down the department
without at least an attempt at an investi-
cation into the success and efficiency OF the
work.

uniform and interspersed the exercises with
music. There wer, patriotic songs, two
flag drills, one Of young women under Cap

the direction Of Misses Horner and Krier.
Both drills called out hearty applause. There
were Rotations by Misses Maud Worthing

form and short addresses were made by

thinner, Hon. T. L. Warrington. The ex-
ercises were held under the auspices Of
Reno post, No. 112, Grand Army of the
Republic, assisted by the Women's Relief
corps, which attended in a body. A good
shower early in the morning cooled the air,
settled the dust and added very much to the
pleasure Of the occasion.
