Bold Robbery on a Train.

A bold robbery was committed on a
Northern Pacific train at Fargo. Sam
Mcdowell, an elderly resident Of New
Rockford, was the victim. He had
been in California for the winter and
was returning home. He and his
wife had a double seat in the day
coach and when Fargo was reached he
went to the open door to get a breath
of fresh air. While in the doorway
he remembers being crowded and JOS
later missed his pocketbook, said to
contain s400 in cash and $500 in drafts
There were some other small checks
and his watch. which were also stolen.
The men are thought to have been on
the train from Minneapolis and there
is said to have been four In the party.
A Russian farmer was recently robbed
at Hankinson In the same manner.
The Fargo police think the gang
operates out of the Twin Cities on
crowded trains.
Crop Prospects.
It is expected that there will be a
slight increase of wheat sown this
spring in the Red River valley, and
probably In the Western counties as
we'll. The area of land sown to fax
will be diminished, one Of the elements
tending in this direction being the re.
duced price, and another the fact that
fax seldom does we'll when raised from
year to year on the same SOIL The
falling of from these causes will be
partly made up by the fax sown on
new breaking, which will be large, as
there will be many thousands Of acres
of new land broken in the Western
counties this spring. There will be
more hoed crops and forage crops
sown this season, this applying to the
entire state. The dairy interest is

THEY MADE FRIENDS
Lion and Bull Dog Forgot Natural
Enmity in Mutual Woe.

Kingman, Ariz., Sept. g. Especial COR
respondence OF The Republican)-A few
days ago a rancher on the Big Sandy
went out tc hunt a COW that had stray
ed from his house. Returning, within
half mile of his house he found the
carcass Of deer. 1t had been killed
and dragged into a secreted place in
the rocks where it was partly covered
with brush.
well knowing the habits of the noun
tain lion he took two big steel traps
and placed one on either side of the
dead deer. Soon after dark he heard
the squeal and roar of the lion and
looked for his trusty bull dog but he
had gone toward the place from v hence
the noise came. Soon he heard the
mingled roaring of the lion and howl
ing of the dog. Taking his rifle he went
to see what the fun was about but the
night was dark a. drizzling rain had
set in. he was afraid to shoot in the
dark. had no lantern and everything
being wet he could not kindle a fire.
He returned to the house and ct day
tertained all night long by the moaning
of the two animals, one of which he
found to be in each steel trap. He shot
the lion and liberated the dog. Though
they were less than six feet apart and
natural enemies they had through their
common misery become reconciled and
made peace with each other The lions
skin measured nearly nine feet from
up to tip. He evidently was an old
settler. w. II. HARDY.

SHOOTING AT BONITA
A. I. Thomas Murders Han Who Re-
fused to Loan Him Gun.

Sergeant John Foster. who arrived in
Bisbee last evening from the north
ern part of the territory, brought the
news of another killing on Monday last
at Bonita, a little station near Fort
Grant, the scene of recent trouble be-
tween soldiers from the fort. in which
several Were wounded and one of the
victims CT the brawl died, says the Re-
view.
The name of the cowboy who was
killed by Thomas is unknown. 1t is
said that Thomas asked the man to
have a drink. He said in reply to the
invitation that he did not care for any
thing to drink, but that he would take
a cigar. The men were lined up at the
bar when Thomas asked the unknown
man for his gun. He refused, where
upon Thomas slipped the sun from the
strangers belt and without a word shot
him dead, the bail from the mans OWE
siX-shoOter entering his head at the
corner Of his mouth.
Thomas cColly took the Scabbard CT
the man he had murdered in cold blood,
and, adjusting it to his own person,
went outside the house whether he had
committed the crime and took the horse
of the dead man and started in the di-
rection of Wilcox. Nothing has been
seen of him since.
No motive is assigned for the crime,
but it is supposed that it was done in
momentary fit of alteration. The
rangers are on the track of the man,
but so far no report of his capture has
reached either Captain Rynning or
Sergeant Foster.
Thomas is q COW puncher and is well
IL.
where the shooting occurred 1t is not
known to any of the friends of Thomas
that he ever had any trouble with the
man whose life he took.
Another account of the incident is
given by tho Douglas Dispatch as fol-
lows:
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Slaughtec
received the word to look out for A
L. Toms, which is given as the name
o. the man who committed the murder.
Later intelligence gave the following
IS the circumstances connected With
the affair:
Toms had been On the Fort Grant
military reservation for some time rep
resenting that he was a government
official sent to the reservation to collect
monies from the indians 1t appears
TIL he had piled mis- trade very gene:-
ally and had succeeded in eXacting d
considerable sum of money from the
Indians. who had looked upon him with
suspicion.
After he had gotten what money he
could from them he left for Wilcox and
the Indians reported the matter to the
officers at Fort Grant. The officers 1T

located and arrested without any trou-
bic. He WIS taken back TO Fort Grant

A MEXICAN NINE
In Which Plenty of Phoenix Capital
Will Be Invested.

f. w. Sheridan left last night for
Mexico on mining business. He is ne
gotiating for q gold mine not far from
Cananea. He is backed by plenty OF
local capital Mr. Sheridan heard of
the property while he was in the en-
ploy OF the Greene Consolidated COM
pany and he made a careful investiga-
ton of it. It includes 200 pertinencias
or about 496 acres and is about twenty
miles from Cananea. 1t is free mill
ing gold property and though no as
says have been made horn spooning re-
suits in streaks of gold from an inch
so two inches long. 1t is estimated
that the ere will average S35 to the ton.
Mr.. Sheridan will spend about three
months in the further investigation Of
the mine and he is authorized by his
hackers here to take any steps in the
matter of the purchase he sees fit.
Speaking of the affairs of the Greene
Consolidated, Mr.. Sheridan says the
reports that Col. Greene is to be super
seeded in the management of the great
property are entirely without founda-
ton. In the first place he says Col.
Greene is a holder OF the majority of
the stock of the company, or at least
he has a majority of it under abso-
lutte control. But beyond that none Of
his associates would want to deprive
him OF the control of the property if
they could. He enjoys a relation with
the Mexican authorities and he has a
standing in the community which
makes him extremely valuable to tho
company, much more so than any other
man could be.

1t was with deep regret to many friends
to learn that Miss Laura Gold, who has
built up and successfully conducted the
young ladies' school here, has accepted a
position with the Stephenson Seminary
at Charles Town. She and her efficient
assistant. Miss Rose Macdonald, have
won the confidence and esteem not only
of the people of the town but for miles in
the surrounding county. But few ladies

on securing the services of such an eff

In Memorium.

In loving remembrance of our dear father
Randolph Custer, who departed this life
years, Monday, June 10, 1901.
Gone but not forgotten
The parting words which two years ago
We never can forget,
Nor soothe those pangs of woe
Deep in our sad hearts yet.
Though this world is full of trouble.
Full of sorrow and of pain;
Yet to us it would be Heaven
If you We're only here again.
How sadly we grieve the loss of father.
And many sad tears we have shed:
Our home is so gloomy which once was Sc
bright
Since our dear father is dead.
Time may pass and years may fly.
And every hope decay and die,
And every peaceful dream may set.
but our dear father we cannot forget
There's grief that cannot find comfort,
And wounds that cannot be healed.
And the sorrow too deep in our hearts
That can't half be revealed.
Farewell dear father, long farewell;
Thou hast left us here to weep.
The grief we feel no tongue can tell;
Sleep gentle spirit, sleep.
Thou art gone but soon we II meet again
On Canaan's peaceful shore.
Free from the world of grief and pain
Wen meet to part no more.
lis ours to miss thee all our years
And tender memories of thee keep:
Thine in the Lord to rest for so
He giveth His beloved sleep.
He is waiting by the river
just across the silver stream.
Where sweet flowers forever bloom.
And the banks are ever green.
There no cold chill blasts of winter
Turn the roses blossoms fair,
And where all is love and sunshine,
He is waiting for us there.
God of love send US some token
From the Spirit World above.
That our hearts all crushed and broken.
May be healed by heavenly love.
