WANTED A LARGE SUM.
Dynamiters AK Railway Company for
Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Helena. Mont. Sept. sS.-It has de
veloped that the recent attempts tc
dynamite bridges and tracks ca the
line of the Northern Paoil> between
Livingston and Missoula. was il fur
therance of plot to force the railway
company to pay 5000 for Immunity
from the outrages.
In August last the company receiv-
Gu letter demanding $4,000 in
which it was threatened that if the
terms proposed were not agreed to
No attention was paid to the demand
and shortly afterward the railroad
bridge at Livingston was partially
wrecked by dynamite. A few nights
later another stick of dynamite was
exploded near Bozeman under pas
senger train. Other letters followed,
and the dynamiters proposed that the
company pay $4,000. and if it acc"d-
ed to the demand it was to carry a
white flag on engines hauling trains
and Sept % was to run light engine
from Butte to Missoula and at point
on the road it was to stop on signal
and an agent Of the company was to
pay over the money.
The company. hoping to catch the
men. put out the white flags and on
the night agreed upon ran the light
engine. Behind it followed another
engine pulling two cars. One was
filled with armed sheriffs and deputies
and the other contained horses and
bloodhounds. The run was made
from Butte to Missoula but there was
no signal and it was thought the men
had been scared Off. Shortly after the
letters began to arrive again from the
dynamiters making the same demand
and telling the railroad if it agreed to
the terms to put the flag on the en-
gines. This the railroad company has
not done and in the past two weeks
there have been four attempts to dam
age the line by the use of dynamite.

American Citizens There Suffer III
Treatment,

Washington. Sept. 2G.-Additional
information obtained at the state de-
partment about the trouble near Blue
fields. Nicaragua. is to the effect that
a number of American citizens have
suffered Ill treatment on the island of
st. Andrews, forty miles from Blue
fields, and that the local authorities
have failed to afford them protection.
The matter was reported to the state
department by Edwin w. Trimmer.
the American agent at Bluefelds. and
at his suggestion the Nashville has
been ordered from Pensacola to st.
Andrews. The Americans involved
are connected with a plantation at ST.
Andrews.
The state department officials say
they do not anticipate serious trouble,
but the evident inability of the local
authorities or their unwillingness to
maintain order makes the presence Of
an American warship desirable

DAVID NATION DEAD
AT MEDICINE LODGE
Man Succumbed Suddenly to
Stomach trouble.
EX-HUSBAND OF CARRIE
Funeral Arrangements VIII Be
Made Latter.

David Nation, ex-husband of Carrie Ma
ton. an old soldier and not many years
ago a practicing lawyer at Medicine
Lodge, died suddenly yesterday afternoon
at that place Of stomach trouble.
Mr.. Nation had been afflicted with
stomach trouble for some time. but not
80 as to keep him from his usual daily
routine He was taken i'll Friday even
ing and without much apparent suffer
ing, died very suddenly at 1:35 o'clock
Relatives in Ohio and Texas have been
notified of Mr.. Nations death Until
word has been received from them no
funeral arrangements viii be made.
David Nation has visited Wichita many
times and had many friends here who
VIII be greatly surprised and shocked
to hear Of his sudden taking off. While
a man OF mature years Mr.. Nation was
unusually strong and healthy appearing.
He got about as man twenty years his
Junior.
The name of David Nation was brought
into considerable prominence two years
ago at which time Carrie Nation, then
his wife. gained much notoriety through
her embarrassing escapades- Mr.. Nation
did not sympathize with his wife's ac-
tons in dealing with the liquor traffic.
That fact later led TO his applying for a
divorce. 1t was granted in the courts at
Medicine Lodge after lengthy trial.
In appearance, David Nation was a
man Of medium height. and rather slen-
der. He wore long flowing beard and
his countenance always bore kindly ex-
pression-one that commended respect as
well as confidence fromm all who knew
him.
