Ed. Redmond Coming.

In the days of Davy Crockett's
boyhood money was not so plenti-
full as now, as is shown by the
story of how young Davy took up
a note for his father.
The elder Crockett lived in
that part of the country which is
now Tennessee. He owed a man
by the name of Abrham Wilson
the sum of $50. Such a sum in
those days seemed more gigantic
than a mortgage of several thous-
and dollars would today. The
elder Crockett did not see how he
could discharge the note. He
contlded his trouble to David who
at Dance agreed to secure the
note. David offered his services
to Wilson who agreed to surren-
der the note if David Crockett
would work for him for six mon
this. The time of servitude
seemed long but Davy Crockett
was not daunted. He worked the
six months without missing a
day. AT the end of the time he
received the cancelled note and
an offer from his employer to con-
tinue at his work. Crockett re-
fused the offer as he had been
thrown with a crowd of disreput-
able men who drank and gambled
and who were distaseful to Crock.
EFT.
This is but one of the incidents
which explains the character
of the man that Ed. Redmond
impersonates in his famous play
"Davy Crockett" which will be
at the Broken Bow opera house on
Friday, November Ia, 1902.

WANT ENGLISH COAL,

Prirer Roorn"d by Conditions Here
and In France.
London. Oct. IL. The critical condi-
ton Ut the French mining strike has
caused a considerable thrush of coal
orders to Tyneside for France. but the
American demand has much abated.
The continental orders, which are for
all classes of coal, however. sent up
prices on the Newcastle Coal EX-
change.
For prompt shipment to France the
best NOrthunberland steam coal was
quoted at S3.37 ton. and gas coal and
unscreened bunker coal were quoted at
$275 The tone Of the Cardiff market
strengthened.
There is no doubt that prices will be
materially raised. The coal market in
London is unsettled. There is some
talk of an increase of 25 cents ton.
The British steamer Marquette has
begun loading 10000 tons of coal on
the Tyne for the United States. and it
is reported that another order for 5000
tons is in process OF negotiation.

UioOdhOnnds ON Trail.

Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 13.--Thrce masked
men have held up the Pacific coast ex-
press o! the burlington road four miles
from Lincoln. They used explosives
and after wrecking the safe escaped
with $4,000. Much of this was in
gold, and in carrying it off the robbers
made II plain trail. which is being fol
lowed by posse and bloodlounds.
Midway between here and Wood
lawn the engineer saw red light
waved across the track and brought
the train to a standstill. Two men
sprang quickly into the cab, covering
him and his fireman with revolvers
Under their orders the express car
was cut from the balance of the train
and sent ahead short distance. A
heavy charge Of dynamite then tore
the safe to pieces. and the robbers
lugged the plumber to the side of the
track, covering everybody in sight with
pistols while waiting for the third
masked man.
Meanwhile the third man had been
busy He walked alongside the track
by the passenger coaches, firing his re.
volver occasionally to keep inquisitive
passengers quiet. A brakeman who
went ahead found a revolver pushed in
his face, with a warning to 60 back
where he belonged He ran the four
miles to the Lincoln yards and was
the first to give the alarm.
1t is evident the robbery had been
carefully planned beforehand. as the
railroad officials had learned of it and
put an extra guard on the train.
Robbery Was Clipped on"
One Of the accomplices of the rob-
bers had determined to get even with
them for some wrong he felt he had
suffered and tipped off, the fact that
an effort would be made to hold up the
train. His information was the affair
was to take place near st. Joseph, and
guards were placed in the express car
to that point, and the trainmen were
warned to be on the lookout
Everything was serene in St. Joseph
and beyond there, and the guards were
withdrawn in the belief that the tip

senger, however. did not relax his eau
ton, and all the doors We're locked
when the train was held up near here.
He pluckily refused to open the doors
at first and only complied with the de.
mand of the robbers after they had
sent a dozen bullets through the door.
The robbers. who seemed to be old
hands. went at the work mefhodicallv
and chatted pleasantly with the train.
men, warning them to look out when
the safe was blown open and not get
hurt. All the time, however cooked
pistols were in the trainmen's faces.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered.
but the robbers have good start and
probably are clever enough to cover
their trail from the sheriff and blood
hounds.
1t is believed other sccomplices
awaited the robbers near by, and the
heavy weight of gold was carried away
on horseback or in a wagon.
