UNCLE SAM THE LOSER
Postoffiee at Montpelier. Ida,
Robbed and the Thieves Make
Good Their Escape.
Especial to The Herald.)

Montpelier. Ida, Nov. 29.-The Mont
pelier poStoffice was robbed Thursday
night by some unknown persons, who
boldly entered the front door of Whit
mans store, wherein the postoffice is
located, by means of croWbar Dor
rowed from a neighboring blacksmith
shop.
After gaining. entrance to the store
the robbers climbed over the box casing
comprising the postoffice proper. using
the delivery window sill as a conven-
lent step.
The combination lock on the safe
was then smashed with a sledge and
the door blown open. The booty Sc
cured consisted of about 800, some reg
istered letters and a sack of money de-
posted there by some party from st.
Charles, Ida The amount contained
in the registered letters and the st.
Charles deposit sack could not be
learned.
The thieves made their exit by a con-
venient rear door and nothing was
known of the occurrence until the
building was opened for business next
morning. After the robbery was dis
covered a search was instituted which
resulted in finding tracks leading from
the rear door of the building to the
railroad yards, at which latter point
the registered mail was torn open and
Fified of its contents and the envelopes
scattered upon the ground; but further
than this no clue has been found as to
the identity of the perpetrators.
The thieves. in their haste, overlooked
several dollars in currency and stamps,
and wholly failed to modest a single
article in the store so far as has yet
been ascertained.

successful attempt to hold up the east
bound Chicago & Alton passenger train

the two men covered Brakeman James
Patton with their rifles and command
ed him to throw I'D his hands The
brakeman refused to obey and one Of
the bandits shot him III the leg. The
report of the gun was heard by ether
trainmen, who hurried to the end of
the train.
The robbers were evidently discon-
certed by the turn events had taken
and, becoming frightened at the ap-
proach of the trainmen. jumped from
the train before it had gained much
Roadway. The work of 5he bandits
was very crude, and they we're evident
ly amateurs in train robbing. They
were not masked and the injured
brakeman was able to give the police
a good description of them.
The Kansas City and Independence
officers are securing the country near
Independence, with every prospect Of
capturing the robbers. The passengers
were not aware that an attempt to rob
the train vas being made. The train

QUARANTINE is NOT
SERIOUS QUESTION

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Arthur G. Leon
ard, general manager Of the Union
Stockyards & Transit company. says
there Is very little menace Of the beef
industry of livestock exports of this
country or to the foreign consumption
and trade in the quarantine declared
by Secretary Wilson against the cattle
in the New England states. The amount
OF cattle sent to market and exported
on the hoof from the affected district is
very small, as there are very few beef
cattle raised In that part of the coun-
try. There are more or less dairy cat
tie, kept together and housed closely
and which are more susceptible to dis
ease than the cattle on the range. The
only particular result, so far as affect
ing the livestock situation is concerned
IS the closing OF the New England portz
TO the shipment of western livestock
and changing the points Of export to
other ports. The principal part Of the
beef going out or this country is dressed
and goes right through the quarantined
district for export.
The same general opinion was given
by John A SpoOr, president of the
Union Stockyards & Stock company.
and G. NJ. Skinner Of the international
Livestock exposition.

HIsToRY On TEE CASE.
Crews Were Subjected to Cruel
Treatment bv Russia.


Victoria. B. c.. Nov. 29.-The seizure
of the American schooners Cape Horn,
Pigeon and c. II. White Of San Fran
cisco and J. Hamilton Lewis and Kate
Anna of Seattle, for which The Hague
arbitrators have awarded damages TO
the owners in the sums stated IN the
Associated Press dispatches from The
Hague, were all seized by the Russian
cruisers Zabianta and Kotick in 1892,
when of the Copper islands Two Vic
toria schoOners were seized at the same
time the owners of the two having
been recompensed in 1898 by Russia for
the seizure, but the claims or the
others, together with that of one seized
in 1888. are still pending. Their cases
are exactly similar to that of the four
American schooners whose claims have
been awarded, and the Victoria sealers
ere looking forward to Great Britain
securing recompense for them for their
schooner. skins and loss of liberty.
Mclean Resisted.
OF the four schooners, three submit
ted to their captors without a strug-
gle, but the James Hamilton Lewis,
formerly the schooner Anna Breck of
Victoria, which was in charge of Cap
tain Alex Mclean of San Francisco,
made quite a fight. Captain Dan Nc
Lean, his brother, had made a raid on
an old man was killed. and the Rus
slams were looking for him. when they
came across the James Hamilton Lewis,
commanded by his brother. The Aleut
ordered the James Hamilton Lewis to
heave to, but the San Francisco sealer
refused, saying that he was in neutral
water. The cruiser fired a shot across
his bows, but Mclean kept his vessel
going, and, notwithstanding the fact
that several shots were fired, the James
Hamilton Lewis continued to run from
the cruiser, which then steamed across
her bows, carrying away her fore rig
ging, and, as she swung alongside, a
number of Russians swarmed on board
and took possession. Still Mclean did
not give in. He took a chain and at
tempted to throw it over the Aleuth
propeller to disable the Russian YES
sci. but the attempt failed.
Thrown Into Prison.
Six Americans were left on the
schooner and a prize crew of Russians
took her TO PetrepauIOfskf, where the
remainder Of the Americans were taken
by the Aleut and all thrown into pris-
on, together with the sealers from the
other three schoOners, which had been
seized shortly before by the Zabiaka,
and air the vessels were left on the
beach to rot. The Americans were
finally released and sent to Corea and
thence by q Russian vessel to Nagasald,
whence they were taken to San Fran
cisco.
