of ascertaining the whereabouts of the
European squadron and also what their
orders are. There is no intention of
changing any orders at present espe-
cially as the ships can not be reached

KILLED IN A HOLDUP.
Chicago Robbers Take Life and
Money and Escape.

Chicago Aug. 31.-Without a word of
warning two men were killed and two
others wounded by holdup men at the
barns of the Chicago City Railway
company, Sixty-first and State streets,
at an early hour Sunday. The shoot
ing was done by three men who
escaped after securing $1,000. Three of
the men who were shot were working
in the cashiers Office and the other was
a motorman asleep in the outer office.
The men in the office were shot before
they were aware of the robbers pres
ence and the motorman was killed as
he was rising from bench where he
had been asleep.
THE DEAD.
FRANK STEWART, assistant clerk
in cashiers office, shot through body
while standing at his desk: died half
JOHN B. JOHNSON, 'motorman. shot
through head; died almost instantly.
INJURED.
William 3. Edmond, receiving clerk,
shot in left thigh while at his desk;
Henry BiehI, shot in the head; will
recover.
The robbers took no chances but dis
posed of all the opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the office
Choosing the time when employees were
busily engaged in balancing up the re-
ceipts of the night, just after the last
conductor had turned in his money and
appeared at the receiving window and
began shooting. The first intimation
those inside the office had that anything
was wrong was when they heard shots.
The first bullet fired struck Stewart and
he fell to the floor without a word.
Biehl and Edmond, who were sitting
near Stewart, turned to see what was
the matter but before they could leave
their chairs they were rendered help
less by bullets of the robbers. Johnson.
the motorman, who was asleep on a
bench in the outer office, hearing the
noise started up to go to the assistance
of his companions, but was shot and
killed before he could get on his feet.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed, the robbers then b. oke
open the door of the cashiers office
with a sledge hammer and took from
the desk $4,000 in bills. They then made
their escape. Four men were arrested
three hours after the robbery on suS-
picion of being implicated in the crime.
They as yet have not been identified.

At 9:OS both yachts took a tow line

Off Newport in half a gale and a tum-

she broke the record for 30 miles over
triangular course. she came out OF

inches deep in her port bow.
With broken tumble of sea outside
the hook and a fresh breeze, Shamrock
had every promise of just the weather
in which those in charge expect her to
do her best. When preparations for rae

morning, Sir Thomas having notified

THEIR TRIP DISASTROUS.
Men Who Went to Oklahoma Stricken
With Typhoid.

John F. Strickrott is seriously sick at
Colorado Springs with typhoid fever.
He went there last week to take some
photographs of mountain scenery but
before he secured any views he was ta-
ken sick.
A few weeks ago Strickrott and Har-
mon D. Wilson made a trip to Pawnee,
Oklahoma, over the new Santa Fe line,
taking photographs and securing data
for an advertising pamphlet. Wilson is
sick with typhoid fever at his home in
Topeka, and became i'll last week about
the same time that Strickrott was ta-
ken with the fever. 1t is supposed that
both drank of contaminated water
while making the trip in Oklahoma, as
they passed through rough and unset
tied country and drank wherever they
could find water.
