WORK OF MASKED MEN.
Train Held In in Indian Territory
and Robbed in Approved style.
Booty Appears to Have Been
SnaII

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 16.-'The south
bound Kansas City Southern passen-
ger train was held up last night at IL
o'clock, half a mile north of Spiro, l..
T., by seven masked men. The ex-
press and mail cars were entered. The
local safe in the express car was
opened, but nothing secured from it..
The robbers tried to open the through
safe. but failed. Then they rifled the
mail car, and, 1t is said. secured a
quantity of registered mail.
The scene of the robbery is fifteen
miles from Fort Smith. A report to-
day from there says that United states
marshals are securing the country in
search of the robbers. Three suspects,
miners, have been arrested and taken
to Poteau, |. II. The railroad and eX>
press officials decline to state how
much booty was taken. 1t is said, how
ever, that the robbers got away with
$1,000.
The robbers tagged the train be-
tween Spiro and Redland. While two.
of the seven, men covered the engineer
and fireman with revolvers, others
forced a porter who had appeared on
the steps of the forward coach to un-
couple the baggage car from the train.
John Block, travelling salesman from
Fort Smith alighted from the train and
was about to fire upon one of the rob
bers when he was prevented by Con-
ductor Sullivan, who feared that the
men would. fire into the passenger
coaches. The baggage car uncoupled.
the engineer was compelled to pull up
the road distance of one mile. There
the robbers, after disarming the mes
senger, went through the baggage and
mail car. Their work finished. one of
the robbers handed the messenger the
revolver taken from him and all made
for the timber.
Postoffice officials here deny that any
registered mail was taken, and the
express people say that one package,
containing SO, covers their loss. Spiro
Is small station near the Arkansas
river in Indian Territory. 1t is a
desolate place in the timber, which af-
fords good cover for a robbery. Po-
teau, the second station south from
Spiro, was the scene of a former train
hold-up.

BOERS MAY SEEK PEACE.
London stock Exchange Greatly En-
couraged by Reports

London. Jan. ia strong rumor
prevailed in financial circles here late
to- day that negotiations for peace had
been re-opened between the leading
Beers and the British government.
South African stocks rose in sympa-
thy with the reports. The exact nature
of what was going on was not known
but a representative of the Associated
Press learned that leading Beers had
Indirectly approached the government,
protesting against the appropriation OF
farms In the Transvaal and Orange
River Colonies by British settlers,
which system is now being rapidly
pushed, and that strong influence had
been brought to bear on the Boer
leaders to save at least a vestige OF
property for their followers.
Whether what Is passing to-day be-
tween the Beers and the British gov
ernment can be termed peace negotia-
tpns or what will he their result can
only remain speculation for the pres
ont. The stock Exchange evidently
takes a hopeful view of the outcome.

Death in a Bath Tub.

Grand Forks, July g. This city was
thrown into terrible excitement at a late
hour by the discovery of the death Of Mr.
and Mrs. c. D. Mccormick Of this city,
Mr.. Mccormick being one of the most
popular conductors on the road. During
the evening, while their daughter and a
party of young folks were visiting on the
lawn, the husband and wife went to the
bathroom, supposedly to take bath,
but their long absence aroused anxiety,
and their little son went to the bathroom
and returned stating that his father and
mother were both asleep. After some
time had elapsed, the daughter becom-
ing anxious, went to the bathroom and
made the horrible discovery that both
were lying in the bath-tub, completely
naked and dead. There is not the slight.

case OF poisoning, whether by one Civ.
ing it to the other and then taking a
dose. or by each taking a dose at the
same time-or by some plot of an out
slider. The family has lived in Crane
Forks for fifteen years. T..
The coroner impaneled jury, but be-
yond formalities little was done. The
evidence showed that Mrs. Mccormick
must have got into the bathtub after he,
husband, and the coroner believes the
husband died first. Mr.. Mccormick
features were composed and his wife's
face shoMed no traces of emotion. There
was no evidence of a struggle or of any
thing unusual.

A PRIMARY ELECTION.

1t is reported, that there was "prim-
ary election" held at Grand Forks the
other night, at which ''the people" pull
ed out typewriter resolution from his
(the people's) pocket, which he (the
peopIe) presented to the rest of the
score, (also the people), who were pres
ent, committing the Grand Forks county
convention to the support qf Mi. sarles.
This, of course, is primary law-with due
emphasis on primary"
This is also strictly in line with The
Herald's editorial of Thursday, which
says: "rhe people have no voice, and
can have none, in the convention" +"
which leads to the reflection that there
are people" and then there are other
people" all of which-is funny when
you think of ofit-and;perhap "a little con-

STATE POLITICS.

Notwithstanding the slate seems to be
pretty well written up for state officers,
1t might be quite possible to see the
whole thing be wiped off and new dea
had nobody knows three weeks in ad.
vance what a North Dakota convention
will do. And.t the fact that names are
put on the slate makes them plain tar.
getfor the fellows whose names are not
there.
The greater interestjust now is in the
governorship. If Mr.. Sarles had ac-
cepted the first indications of support for
his candidacy, Just then, instead of re.
fusing and giving his support to Gov
White, he might now possibly be strong
in the lead, but since then, there has
been strong reaction in favor of Gov.
White, which, if it keeps its gait, will un.
doubtedly nominate him., That is the
way it looks now, but, as we said, there
has never been anybody with the temer.
ityto become a North Dakota Foster OF
Hicks. Even Spaldiug is not as sure as
he might be, when he thinks of the sud.
dennesss of the turning OF his political
f1ap.jack two years ago.
If the slate goes through, the Fargo
convention will be very peaceful affair,
one Of the most peaceful in history. Il
not, there's a chance that Donnybrook
fair will lose its prestige as a criterion
fer scraps.
