MlSSOULA, Mon, Oct 25.An east
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific was held up during the night
near Drummond, Mon, forty-dve miles
,from this city, and Engineer Dan
O'Neil was killed.
The train which included mail, bag
gage and express cars and nine coach
es arrived at Missoula a. 1920 p. m.
and proceeded eastward afte" a short
delay at this station. 1t arrived after
midnight ut a place two miles west of
Drummon,.. Here the train was sig
nailed to stop, and the engineer slowed
up. While doing 50 he saw man
creeping toward him over the tender.
The man. who was armed, called to
O'Ncill to stop the train instantly.
The engineer took In the situation at
once and, pv'ing open the throttle,
tried TO start the train at full speed.
The robbcr OWNED his purpose and
fired at him. The shot took instant cf
feet, and the engineer fell dead at his
post.
The robber then proceeded to rifle the
express and mail cars. He plundercd
the regular mail and blew open tie
safe in the express car, which was
wrecked by the explosion.
The amount Of plumber which he Sc
cured is not known at present, but it
is supposed to be large. The excitement
on the train was intense The sudden
stOppAgp of the train, followed soon
by tn" explosion, spread alarm among
the train hands ana ihc passengers.
lh" darkness of the night and the
loneliness of the place added to the
genera scenes Of terror.
Word of the attack was sent to
DrumIuond. whence it WAS tcegraphed
to Deer Lodge, about fifty miles away.

Despite the fact that the Regular
and Union Republicans have sepa-
rate nominees for Senator in the
First Senatorial District, and for
Representative in the Second Rep
resentative District, the party has
splendid prospects for winning in
both districts. This faith is due to
the fact that the registration inli-
Gates that the Republicans have
more than twice as many votes as
the Democrats. Hence one or the
other of the Republican nominees
in each district is likely to be elect
ed. 1t is a matter for qualification
that the Republican registration Ii
so large as to give grounds for such
hopes of victory.

THE CANVASS HAS BEGUN.

In order to increase its circu-
lation, the management Of The
Daily Republican has decided to
make this offer; namely, that
one thousand of its new readers
shall receive savings banks, TO-
gether with the deposit of one
dollar to their credit with one Of
fhe largest financial institutions
in the world.
In order to take advantage of
this offer, not one cent will be
required in advance. The sub
scriber may simply pay for the
paper by the week, as for any
other newspaper, and thereby
will open bank account for
himself or any member Of the
family. .
The details of the plan will be
given at The Daily Republican
office or by the canyassers for
the paper. This is a fine oppor-
tunity, and one not to be missed.
The canvass has begun.
Although the Republican does
not wish to overlook any of its
readers, yet the way the bank
offer was received yesterday, the
thousand banks will have to be
doubled, and even that number
will not be sufficient to bring the
canyassers east of Market street.
Therefore, any one wishing to
have a bank. can secure one by
applying at the Republican office

 When the court adjourned last night the taking of testimony had been con- cluded and two of the attorneys fin the case had finished their speeches. The argument will probably be completed this morning and the judge will give his charge to the jury. It is possible that verdict will be reached by night.
 The case has In the past three years figured largely in the courts of Mont gomery it being now on its third hearing. The Supreme Court has one time passed upon 1t, reversing the decision of the lower. court, which was against Mrs. Armstrong. The case is peculiar in one feature The deceased was killed, so the plaintiff alleged, by an injury which developed into blood poisoning.
