La Crosse, Wis. Jan. 10.-Passen-
gers and prisoners on the train they
are alleged to have held up six months
ago at Marcus, ILL.,, four men who are
believed to be members of the gang
who robbed the Burlington train at
that place, were left at Savannah, Ill,
by the train Thursday night. and were
taken to Mount Carroll, the county
seat, where they will be arraigned on
the charge of holding up the train.
The story of the findings of clews and
their subsequent capture is interesting.
A Pinkerton detective, Charles White,
visited every nook and corner of the
Mississippi river between here and the
place where the robbery occurred, to
find the person of whom the robbers
bought the boat which was found
sunken with sand in the river near
where they had temporarily buried
their booty II took him three months
and he was not successful until he
reached La Crosse, when. in company
with Detective William Lyman of the
local force, after two weeks of un-
renting work, they located the man
from whom the skiff had been pur-
chased. He and his wife went to Chi
cago on Wednesday night to identify
the four alleged robbers.
The robbers, so the detective found,
went down the river in the skiff taking
four days to make the trip, and were
Joined at Dubuque by TWO Others,
which made the party six in number.
One of these robbers wore pair OF
shoes just purchased in Dubuque and
he was the one who was killed and
served to Identify the gang, and which
arrest in Louisiana few days ago on
another charge.
Tt develops from the story Of one OF
the robbers, who told the tale to pal,
that the dead robber had been killed
by their own party. 1t appears that
they had secret code of signals which
they were to use. The dead robber, in
coming around the train, did not give
the signal and was shot by one OF the
robbers He was not killed, however,
for after the safe had been blown open
and the robbers unhitched the engine
they put the wounded man on board.
One Of the party said to him, "Can you
talk yet g.
He replied yes whereupon one of
the party shot him through the head,
killing him instantly. They then had a
discussion as to whether to burn the
body in the frebox, but decided to
throw it out of the engine cab, which
they did They then abandoned the en-
CINE and got into the skiff, went across
the river, buried the money and sunk
the boat Several half dollars which
fell from the pile of $4,000 they Sc
cured were found In the mud.

The PrIee-Murphy Trouble.

Aprepos of the eleven indictments brought against former surveyors general Price and hts chief clerk, Murphy, E most embarrassing and per- picking point threatens to come to the surface at the trial; this being the al: most universal law of 'partieeps eri- nfinis," that he bribe giver Is equally guilty with the hribe taker,
 While this may serve In the hands of skilful attorneys to ftighten away many witnesses or to materially weaken their testimony, the prosecution can easily demonstrate that the elreum- stances were such that even the most hardened of "Senator serghums" would not think of considering the mat ter as other than what It pnrported to be, shat Is, an authorized charge for extra work
 The outcome of the case will be awaited with much interest.
 Latep-Julge Kent on Tuesday auashed six of the indictments, being those charging extertion md eonfpira- ey. The remaining five indictments are based on the charge of Accepting a bplbe." If the demurrer to these Is sustained the case Is closed; otherwise It will come to trial November g.

When Aldus Manutius set up la busi-

This boy was soon. lsh0wh all over the city Us "the little pluck deVll," for, at that time, negroes were not often seen la Venice, and some of the most lghor. ant people believed him to be either an embodiment, OF en er1'ssary of Satan, who aided Aldus in the work of his profession, One day Manutius desir= ing to dispel this strange and spread Ing opinion, displayed the young imp publicly to the poorer classes, making this short but characteristic speech; "Be It known to you and all Venice, that I, Aldus Manutlus, printer to the holy church, and the doge, have this day made exposure to all of the priht- er's devil, And if any think he Is not like Us, flesh and blood, they may come and pinch him and they will find cut, that though he Is blaek, he Is hnman." This derivation of she expression "pfinter's devil" as applied to E boy who makes himself useful and sets type in printers office will explain to many people that there Is nothing vulgar intended by the word ''devil" when used ia thIs sentenee.@Tha Indiana Farmer,
