a. m. His son Asa, who heard the
noise, rushed to his fathers rescue and
opened fire on the burglars through a
closed door. The burglars returned
the fire. and Asa was perhaps MORALLY
wounded. Citizens and police are
searching for the murderers, but no
clue has been found.
The battle in the hall was sharp
one. So close were the burglars to
Asa Chinn that the powder burned his
face. His room is near that OF his pa
rents, and he had scarcely gotten to
sleep when his mothers screams arous-
ed him. The two burglars stood at
the bedside OF Mr.. and Mrs. Chinn, and.
striking a match. covered them with
their revolvers. demanding money. 1t
was by the light OF this match that Mrs.
Chinn saw their green masks. Her

of the men is very hazy A. B. Chinn,
the murdered man, was'a deacon in the

IN charge Of Conductor c. A. Lyman
and Engineer A. L. Clayburg. On tle
crest Of a hill midway between the GUY
and the town of Woodlawn, the en-
gineer saw a red light waved across the
track and brought the train to STANG
still. Two men sprang quickly into the
cab, covering Clayburg and his hreiiie =,
with revolvers. They lost no time III
giving their orders, and were Just as
promptly obeyed. The express car
was cut from the balance OF the tram
and sent ahead a short distance. lhe
robbers found the door locked, and al
ter commanding Messenger William
Lupton to open it and getting no re-
Spouse fired two or three shots into
the car The door was then opened
A heavy charge OF dynamite tore the
safe to pieces. The two men VINO
were in the car politely bade the train
men good morning, jumped from the
car and disappeared in the darkness
The passengers were not molested, nor
were the trainmen asked for their per-
sonal property.
While the robbery in the express car
was going on third robber walked
alongside the track by the passenger
coaches, firing his revolver occasionally
to keep inqusitive passengers quiet
Brakeman Moore, who alighted from
the rear coach to go ahead, found re-
volver pushed in his face with a warn
ing to go back where he belonged.
He ran the four miles to the Lincoln
yards, and was the first to give the
alarm. The robbers were cool, talka-
tive and apparently experts. The
whole job occupied little time. The
train was run back to- Lincoln. The
wrecked express car was taken out
and at a O'Clock it resumed its jour
ney, the original crew going out with
it. Following it was an engine car
rying Chief of Police Hoagland, De-
tective Malone and his two blood
hounds and three police officers. At
the scene OF the holdup the hounds
took the scent, and the pursuit of the
robbers was begun. Every town and
village marshal and every county sher-
if in Southeastern Nebraska has been
notified OF the robbery and told to be
on the watch. The Adams Express
Company says its loss is not large.
The booty of the robbers consisted
principally of gold coin. This made the
burden of the robbers exceedinly heavy
and accounts for broad trail discovered
by Chief Hoagland. The robbery was
originally planned to take place at St.
Joseph, and the railroad men were on the
lookout. One of the criminals tipped"
the scheme off to the company, and this
probably accounts for the shifting of the
crime to Lincoln.

has population of but few hundred
people. The settlers are all Mennon-
ties, who have lived in the vicinity for
years. The school has been in charge
of a Mennonite teacher named Henry

satisfaction with the management OF
the school, and this has led to a great
deal OF bad feeling in the community.
Three members OF the board OF trustees
met at the schoolhouse during school
hours to talk over the trouble with the
teacher. Hot words were exchanged,
and suddenly Toews drew his revolver
and shot down the three trustees.
He then rushed into the schoolhouse,
where he shot Kehler's two daughters,
aged 8 and 10 years, through the body.
They will die. The II-year-old daugh-
ter OF Rempt was then attacked. but

a drive in an open landau at II.3o

first time since his illness the President

knowledged the greeting by raising his
soft felt hat and bowling right and left.
