RIO GRANDE TRAIN
IS ROBBED TODAY
MANY OF THE PASSENGERS THREW
AWAY THEIR MONEY AND vALU-
ABLES-ROBBERs ESCAPE,
IBY ASSOCIATED PREss.l

Salida, Colo, July i4.--A report was re-
ccived here shortly before noon today that
the Denver and Rio Grande narrow gauge
passenger train which left here carly last
night, was held up and robbed by several
men near Sargents west Of Marshall pass.
The robbery occurred at $50 o'clock
today at Chester, Colorado, $50 miles west
OF Denver. The engineer was compelled
at the point OF revolver to stop the train
by masked men who had climbed over the
tender Two safes in the express car were
blown open but it is claimed by the Off
GERS OF the Rio Grandc Express company
that the robbers failed to secure any plunder
from the safes.
The passengers were compelled to alght
from the cars and line up along side the
track in the canyon and they were relieved
OF their money and valuables. Many of
the passengers threw away their money,
watches and jewclry among the rocks be-
fore the robbers searched them. There
were many tourists among the passengers
and it is presumed that the losses of some
were heavy.
The train was the west bound narrow
gauge passenger train which left Denver
last night 1t is not known how many pas
sengers were aboard but the cars are usual
ly we'll filed.
The scene of the robbery was in wild
mountainous country at the foot of the
Marshall pass on the west slope, and the
robbers, of whom there were four, escaped
into the mountains.

BUT LITTLE OR NO FREIGHT CON-

INLAND METROPOLIS.
LOSS SAID TO BE ONE
MILLION DOLLARS DAILY
Only Two Car Loads OF Freight Cared for
Promptly and They Were Live Poultry
But Little Business Now Being Done
on South Water Street - Shipping
Fruit on the Lake.
lBY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago, ILL.,, July I4.--The second week
OF the freight handlers strike began today
with 10000 men idle and shipping at
standstll The railroad warehouses, Of
dinarily hive of industry, were almost as
quiet as ON Sunday. I distance from
each warehouse was a company Of pickets
posted to keep the freight from entering
or leaving the sheds. Near the depots
were guards OF police ON duty to protect
the men from the warehouse and to quell
any disturbances which might arise
Gangs OF non-union men brought into
the city to take the places Of the strikers
lounged about the warehouses or in their
cars with scarcely anything to do. Presi-
dent Curran, of the Freight Handlers
union, appointed committees to visit the
various railroads. but no hope was cx-
pressed that a settlement would be made to-
day, or even this week.
Wholesale houses made practically no
attempt to send out freight or to receive
II. Ihe strike has cost them hundreds of
thousands OF dollars already and they stand
to lose millions, should the conditions
which obtain today continue The loss in
wages to the striking freight handlers and
their sympathizers, the teamsters, to the
railroads and other lines of business is
roughly estimated at considerably over
$r.ooo.ooo a day. The situation is admit
tedly very grave.
Market Is Dead.
Commission merchants on South Water
street declare that the usually animated
market is dead. In times of commercial
peace the street is one of the most con-
gested in the world Today in front
OF many OF the stores there was not
wagon and scarcely a crate, box or
barrel of produce. Some had few ber-
res brought by boat from Michigan and
Wisconsin, but these were about the only
fresh arrivals. Thirty cars of highly per-
ishab!e stuff were reported OH the tracks
while many more cars containing COM
modities.
Only two carloads Of freight were cared
for promptly. These contained live poul-
try. 1t was said that the humane society
would not allow them to perish and a
permit was secured to take them to South
Water street.
One wholesale house had carload of
Georgia peaches on rail. The teamsters
refused to haul anything from the rail-
roads. The dealer thereupon shipped the
car around the lake to St. Joseph, Mich,
where the consignment was transferred
to boat and reached here this morn
ing.
President Field of the Knckerbockcr
Ice company stated today that the ice
men were hauling ice everywhere.
This was denied by some of the strikers.

Tracy has rather pleasant twinkle in
his eye. This fact was also true of Jesse
James. He also has the determined jaw Of
the Missouri outlaw.
:. He is exactly the same height weight
and build of Dick Turpin, an outlaw WHO,
IN his day bid defiance to the whole of
England Tracy is very active and strong
and he is seemingly stocked with an in
exhaustible supply Of endurance. In these
respects he tallies to a "T" with Turpin.
His heavy, scowlng brow and his nose
and mouth are similar to those of noto-
rious BILLY the Kid" The latter outlaw
for. 10 years terrorizcd New Mexico and
the region of the southwest.
Yhus it will be seen that Tracy pos
sesses many of the physical characteristics
of other desperadocs who have preceded
him
rs for shrewdness, daring determine
tior and presence OF mind he has COM
bin'tion that would do justice TO any
outlaw that ever lived, having been pur-
sued for 80 days by small army of
men who are spurred on by hope o. the
$4,000 reward for Tracy, dead or alive.

ANTl-rUOLROoM PARTY CHANGE
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN AGAINST
MARTIN AND HIS MEN.
CONDUCTING A GAME OF
CHANCE NOW CHARGED
This Is the Fourth Time Martin and His
Crew Have Been Arrested and the
Charge Brings Case Under New Head
TO Do Business at Old Stand.

Sam Martin, proprietor of the Martin
poolroom, and his employees, who were
arrested four times on Saturday for max.
ing books on Eastern horse races, en-
joyed themselves yesterday and were free
TO 80 and come as they pleased No
minions of the law bothered thcm and il
any visions OF unpleasantness arising from
the various raids OF the day previous
haunted them, they did not show it in
their outward demeanor.
This morning they began to wonder
what the harvest Of the day would be and
the more they thought the deeper they
became impressed with the belief that it
would not be entirely barren.
They thought just about right, for about
80 o'clock this afternoon Constable NJ.
=. Gleason Of Justice OConnor's court
in Walkervile swcoped down on them
with warrant charging them with CON
Quoting game Of chance and pulled
them into his dragnet. He lassoed the
proprietor first and then tapped the others,
exclaiming as he placed the official hand
on them: Your it!''
lie wanted not one, but ALL and he got
them. They were taken from the room
and escorted to Walkerville, the eight
employees going up in a street car and
the proprietor going in n hack with
his attorney, John N. Kirk.
House Was Not Closed.
Even after the departure OF the crew
the house did not close, Int no tickets on
races were sold, although a new crew took
charge of the place. The water was
rough, however, and the craft hugRed the
shore pretty close. A new telegraph OPP
orator handled the ticker and called the
races new board marker put the rings
around the bronchos after each result, aud
a new cashier jinglcd coin behind the rail
ing.
"Will you continue to do business u, the
old stlndi" Mr.. Martin was asked as he
started for the Justices shop
You bet. Just as soon as ] get back
things will be doing just the same" he
replied.
The warrant for the arrest Of the crew
was sworn to by the constable who made
the arrest
All of the other complaints charged the
alleged offenders with selling pools on
horse races contrary to law and without
first obtaining the necessary license to do
it, but the one served early this afternoon
brings the matter under another head
Justice O'Connor refused to accept
bonds and ordered them to the county
Jail. So the constable that marched
them up the hill marched them down
again. He escorted them to the court
house and turned them over to the
sheriff.
Without further ceremony Attorney J.
N. Kirk applied to the district court for
writ OF habeas corpus and got it. The
matter will be aired in the court Of Judge
McClernan as early as possible.
