mitted he held It in his hand

WOUNDED RbBBER FOUND.
Abandoned BY ais Companions, Who
ATTEMPTED TO Rob Train.

TRINIDAD. COL, November 1s.-The rob-
Der who was Shot last night by Express
Messenger w. H. Schriber of Fort Worth
Texas, and was abandoned by his four COM
psnions In their fight. was found early this
morning in the fbrush not far from the
scene o. the ATTEMPTED train robbery on the
Colorado and Southern railroad near Re-
shoar, twelve miles-south of Trinidad. The
wounded manswas brought to this city. He
was shot IN the stomach and 1t Is thought
he cannot live long. He has not been iden-
titled and he refuses to answer questions.
The other four outlaws fled toward the
southeast and have SO far eluded pursuit.
The country through which they will at
tempt to escape, is wild, sparsely settled
and extremely difficult for any one not IA
miliar with it to traverse.
Railroad men think the bandits intended
to rob the Colorado and Southern pay car,
carrying large amount of money, which
arrived here about an hour ahead of the
north-bound passenger train that was held
up. The train was delayed only about forty
minutes. 1t showed no marks Of the battle
except few bullet holes In the door Of the
express car.

BOYCOTT IS A FAILURE.
Labor Unions in Schenectady at Odds
Over the Matter.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. November 10
The third day Of the boycott declared by
the Trades Assembly of this city against
the Schenectady Railway Company finds
the effort possessing practically no support.
All the cars are running as on other days
with their full quota of passengers.
The bitterness expressed at the meeting
of the Trades Assembly last night at
which the question Of calling OF the boy
colt was held In allegiance, has intensified
the situation. The Metal Polishers' Union
is in favor of having the boycott rescinded
while the Mouiders Union Is opposed to
this action. Each of these organizations
has threatened to withdraw It's delegates
from the Trades Assembly If its wishes are
not met, and conservative labor men today
are of the opinion that general row will
follow the present crisis. to be followed by
the reorganization Of the Trades Assembly.
Neither side would make statements today,
other than to say that the whole matter
was In allegiance. land doubtless would be
settled at the regular meeting next Wed
nesday evening. SOS
