Delhart, Tex, July S1.-A Rock Island
passenger train eastbound was held up
last night about seventy miles west of
Delhart by three masked men at
small station called Logan. Engineer
G. e. Walker made the following state
ment:
I'VE made our regular stop at Lo-
gan, when my fireman and l were COW
cred with guns and ordered to move
up. We obeyed, and stopped the train
at the end of the switch The robbers
then made us uncouple the mali and
express cars and run q short distance
up the track, where they ordered us to
stop again.
Then they entered the express car
and attacked the through safe with ex-
plosives. They failed to open thA safe.
and having used up their explosives
they made off in the darkness. The
mail car and passengers were not dis
turbed. The local safe contained no
money, consequently the robbers secur-
ed nothing"
A posse from Delhart headed by
Sheriff Webb, hurried to the scene, and

told that he would almost certainly
die within very short time, but still
believing he will get well, Samuel L.

facts from the patient, threatened to
arrest and bring to Dana's bedside Mrs
B. w. Dignon, the young widow 70
whom he sent note Immediately after
the shooting, and to make her tell
what she knew of the case.
"Oh, don't do that" begged the pa

ment-Japanese Need Only to
Take Golden Hill Now

st. Petersburg, Aug. /, 3: 35 a. m.-Al-
though public attention has been dis
tracted from the events of the war
during the past week the situation at
the front is regarded as critical
The enveloping movement of the
three japanese armies of Gems. Kuroki,
Nodzu and Oku around Gen. Kuropat-
kin's position appears to be almost
complete, and the extended line of the
japanese seems to be the only draw
back to concerted action.
1t is realized here that the Russian
general must now either fight, or with
draw the whole army northward
He is being closely pressed at Hal
cheng.
Extremely Dangerous Position.
At that place Gen. Kuroki's northern
column makes it extremely dangerous
to remain there. because. while hold
ing the position to give battle against
the Japanese, whose advance is noto-
riously always slow and careful. Gen.
Kuroh might push through and cut his
railway communications to Lao Yang.
While nothing is definitely known,
there is some unofficial indication that,
matters are rapidly maturing for either
a battle or a retreat. For instance,
the refusal to accept further press tele-
grams at Haicheng is shown by the
fact that one Of the correspondents of
the Associated Press had to ride
through to Mukden to file an account
of the Tatchekiao fight.
This might be construed either that
preparations are making for a retire
ment, or that the wires are very
crowded incident to a concentration at
Haicheng, or Lao Yang.
A few days are expected to determine
which course Gen. Kuropatkin has
elected to pursue.
Severe Fighting at Port Arthur.
There is no inclination here to doubt
that there may have been pretty Sc
we're fighting at the outer positions Of
Port Arthur, possibly accompanied by
a. ,bombardment from the sea, hut it is
not believed that the japanese are yet
ready to storm the fortress.
Rear Admiral without, in command
of the naval forces at Port Arthur, is
relied on to put to sea If the condition
of the fortress becomes desperate.
While no definite information is OBJ
tainable the report that the fortress
is short OF ammunition is considered
by the public as the most disquieting
feature Of the situation there.
The Vladivostok squadron is expect
ed back in port to-day or tomorrow.
Baltic Squadron 10 Move.
The indications are that the Baltic
squadron is on the eve Of an impor-
tant movement.
Nothing regarding this can be ascer-
tained officially, but many Of the Off
GERS have already said farewell to
friends and families, and are holding
themselves ready for instant service.
The Emperor had arranged to inspect
the squadron. but his plan was given
UP. owing to the assassination Of Min
lister of the Interior Won Plehve.

BY c. w. Cornforth.


Statesboro, Ga, July 31.-That there
was a more horrible crime than mur-
der involved in the killing of the
Hodges family is the settled conviction
of those who are working on the case
That nameless offense at which the
white xen tremble almost certainly
was the fate of Mrs. Hodges and her
9-year-old daughter Kittie.
the full enormity of the fiendish deed
of demons in black, those who have be-
come familiar with to-days develop
ments. shudder to contemplate the re-
suits which a bare statement of the
atrocious crime will bring But as yet
very few. outside of those actively sl-
gagged on the case. more than half sus-
pect the real measure of the offense.
Fire Hid a Darker Crime.
In disproof of the theory of robbery,
there was found to-day five silver dol
lars and some smaller coins on the
spot where the body of Mrs. Hodges
fell prey to the flames. kindled to,
hide a darker crime.
The assailants, if bent on robbery,
would certainly have discovered the
presence of the purse while carrying
the body into the house where the dead
were assembled for the general crema-
ton.
A short time before his death Mr..
Hodges drove to meet his daughter
returning from school. At the barn
the girl waited for her father to finish
feeding. While thus engaged, the IA
theirs attention was evidently attracted
by the rush of the negroes.
Flight of Young Daughter.
The empty school basket told graph-
cally of the girls hasty flight into the
house. Alarmed, no doubt, by the APP
pearance of her daughter, Mrs. Hodges,
lamp in hand, pushed to the gate, set
ting the lamp on a post, where it was
afterwards found still burning.
The woman started to the help of her
husband and was herself attacked.
Her blackened body was found in a
half-sitting position. as if conscious
ness had returned ere the flames en-
veloped her in last embrace.
To the Morning News representative
Cato's wife told of Cato's actions. on
Thursday night about o'clock Cato
came in and told her that Paul, nam
ing Reed had killed Mr.. Hodges, and
cut his throat.
Evidence Against Cato.
When Cato returned from a second
trip, two hours later, he said that
Paul had finished the family, and was
going to burn the house. At that time
the house was in flames.
According TO the story Reed told his
wife they did not know that Kittie
was in the house until they went in
and found her hiding behind the trunk.
Another chain in the proof against
Cato was made by fitting his shoe into
one Of the tracks left near the resi-
dence. One shoe was bursted, and this
was shown in the tracks.
All day hundred determined men
have been securing the country near
the home of the Inflated family for
clues. 1t is these men who have be-
come firm converts to the theory that
the woman and girl were assaulted and
burned to conceal the deed
In the neighborhood there was a
funeral and the crime was almost
the one topic OF discussion.
Taking Prisoners Away.
Every effort was made to keep quiet
the taking OF the negroes to Savannah.
