Mr.. Deering Still Alive.
Watson's House Searched.

The home of Watson, on Columbia road,
was searched this morning. as It was
thought that some OF the alleged stolen
funds might have been left in the safe At
conference held yesterday II was decided
TO have the search made, and about a
O'Clock in the afternoon Auditor Petty went
to the Police Court and swore out the nee
essary warrant. The search failed to re-
veal the presence in the safe of any cash.
Papers and certificates of stock were found.
The papers, the police report. were OF no
value to them in the prosecution, and the
stock certificates probably belong to the
Woodward estate, of which Watson was
receiver. Detectives Hartigan and Tyser
and Captain Bingham. assistant United
States district attorney. made the search.
Yesterday. after the search warrant was
sworn out, detectives were sent to the house
to serve the document. Upon their arrival
at the house they visited Watsons den
and found that the safe was locked. I'm
der the law such searches are not permitted
to be made at night. and because of the
late hour at which the warrant was issued
IL was deemed impossible to have an ex-
pert open the lock In time to complete the
search during the hours provided by law.
Captain Boardman then concluded to have
the house guarded. in order to prevent the
possibility OF the safe being tempered with
during the night. Detectives were placed
IN guard during the early hours Of the

progress this season. number of
new buildings and additions, small
but neat, have been erected, and in

more research than yesterdays pic

interest.

TRAIN ROB-
BERSWEREUN-
SUCCESSFUL
Attempt to Rob a Northern
Pacific Train frustrated
by force of Guards
RAILROAD MEN on THE ALERT
Officials Using Every Method
Necessary to Prevent Lose
From HoIdups

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. "a Missoula
dispatch to the Inter- Mountain says:
A special train. loaded with Pinker-
ton detectives and special railway de-
tectives, preceded No. /, the North
Coast Limited, over the Northern Pa
cifc tracks from Livingston to Mis-
scula last night and has gone on
ahead to Spokane.
The special is literally a travelling
army. as in the boxcar at the rear
are forty horses. saddled and bridled
and a gatling gun.
Northern Pacific officials had a tip
that the train. the crack express of
the road, was to have been held up
last night, somewhere between here
and Livingston.
Believing it best to take no chances
the detectives assembled somewhere
east of Livingston by scores.
Every man had rifle and revolver
and the windows of the special were
barricaded. The train ran mile
ahead of the North Coast all the way
and will see it safely to Spokane
The plot unearthed by the Great
Northern officials, TO hold up an ex-
press near Melta, has set the railway
men in Montana on their mettle all
along the line.
The North Coast is said to have car
ried an unusually heavy load of val
uables on this trip.
Northern Pacific officials here refuse
to discuss the situation. The special
ran through this city and waited for
the express in the yard.
1t is said that Kid Curry is abroad
in Montana with another gang and
that railway officials will adopt extra
ordinary precautions until he is In
custody again.

NEW YORK. Sent. S.-with a fog
heavier than on any previous day
and but a fve-mile wind from the
northwest, the conditions early today
for the fourth attempt this week to
sail the third of the series of the in
ternational yacht races were far from
ideal
The wind at S:35 was reported off
cially at Sandy Hook at five mile
an hour The sun, too, began t.
break through the mist. and then it
began to clear rapidly
Soon it was possible to see a half
mile or more, blue skies were in evil
dence and the prospects Of a race wers
more encouraging than on any pre-
vious day.
The preparatory gun was fired at
p; 45 and the warning gun ten minutes
later.
The American boat crossed about a
minute, after the starting gun was
fred, followed foar seconds later by
the Shamrock.
The yachts had not sailed many
minutes before the wind began to
strengthen.
The start was a pretty one, four
seconds only separating the boats as
they crossed the line, Reliance ahead
and Shamrock to the windward
The official time was. Reliance
1. .O1:56; Shamrock 10000
The honors Of the start were with
Captain Wringe, the skipper of the
challenger.
Immediately after crossing the line
the Britisher exercised good judgment
and split tacks from port to starboard
and before five minutes of the race
had been sailed he was in the lead
as well as to the windward
Shamrock's advantage, however, was
not long-lived, for Reliance pointing
higher passed the Upton boat and
took the lead.
At 2:06 p. m. Shamrock changed
he- baby jib topsails, setting a smaller
one, but in so doing she lost consider
ably and Reliance at 2:55 p. m was
leading by nearly a mile.
At 1902 Reliance made a short hitch
going over the starboard tack for
three minutes only when she returned
to port.
Shamrock meanwhile had continued
on the port tack which both held until
3:14, when they went again on the
Starboard tack
At this hour Reliance was fast ap-
preaching the outer turn and was lead
ing by a full mile.

The following is an essay written by
Ila Simmons, aged II, of the Lime
City schools and read last Friday pm:
THE LILY.
The lily is the most beautiful of all
flowers. There are many different
kinds of lilies. Besides tame ones
there are wild ones which grow in the
spring of the year.
Some lilies are pink, some are white,
and many are pink and white vari-
gated.
I admire a pure white lily and think
ii is the prettiest of all flowers, al
though 1 love rose.
The lily has six or seven petals
which lap over each other and form a
kind of cup. In the center of the lily
are number of golden-like dusty
stems projecting upward. These are
about one inch long and at the top
somewhat enlarged, forming a little
ball about an eighth of an inch in di-
ameter. The little stem itself is only
about one twenty-second of an inch in
diameter.
The bulb of a Gala Lily is like an
onion. If person takes care not to
let the Gala Lily freeze, it will bloom
throughout the winter.
The leaves of the lily have beau
tiful shape, somewhat like that of a
heart. The leaves of wild lily have
not the shape Of the tame one. There
are many different kinds of wild ones:
The Water lily, the Tiger lily, and the
Lily of the Valley, which has little
white bells growing in punches. The
leaves are about three quarters of an
inch wide, spreading out from the
stem to the extent of nine or ten inch
es. The Tiger lily's petals are of a
light yellow, covered with little black
spots. The little stems in the Tiger
lily look like burnt matches. The
name tiger" is given it because it
resembles tiger with the black spots.
At Easter time there are many beau
tiful flowers at different places, but
the lily is always the leading one.
l think one ought to take an exam
pie from the pure white lily which
should teach us to lead pure life.
The reason we have Easter with all
its joy, colored eggs, and goodies, is
because when Jesus rose from the
tomb, there was little birds nest in
bush at the head of the tomb and 1t
had some little colored eggs In it.
From that time on, Easter has been
celebrated.

In the school districts adjacent to
Miller, S. d., there is almost panic
because of the large number of
schoolma'ams who are getting mar
ried. The great influx of new set
tiers recently is responsible for the
many weddings, In one district there
have been three teachers in as many
months. The following card was seen
by horse buyer tackled to a school
house door in an isolated Hyde county
district where it had been impossible
to get a teacher: "Teacher wanted
If single, must be old and unattract-
i've, as two wealthy bachelors threaten
to marry the next teacher of this
school," To avoid a clash on account
of the notice compromise was agreed
to so that two very determined old
maids now teach the school week
about.
