FIRE OF INCEMDIARY ORIGIN
SEVEN PERSONS PERISH IN De.
srRUcTIoN OF NEW YORK
TENEMENT HOUSE.

New York, Sept. 14.-Seven persons
in n family were burned to death
and six others were injured seriously
in a fire which partially destroyed a
tenement building at $50 First street
early in the day. More than twenty
families were asleep in the building
and thrilling acts of bravery accom-
panied their rescue, which was accom-
plished by firemen and the police.
Police Captain McDermott and the
firemen who first reached the burning
building believe the fire vas of incen-
diary origin. Their theory is borne
out by the statements of the %janitor
of the building, who says that an at
tempt was made to set fire to the tene-
ment last Thursday.
A woman who lives across the street
from the tenement house says that
shortly before the blaze broke forth in
the lower hall she saw two men steal
stealthily from the house and disap-
pear.

ROCK ISLAND HOLDUP
BANDITS WRECK EXPRESS SAFE
BUT OFFICIALS SAY THEY
SECURED NOTHING.
BlOODHOuNDS PUT ON THE TRAIL
SPECIAL TRAINS HURRIED TO
THE SCENE ON RECEIPT OF
NEWS OF ROBBERY.
BlooDHouNDs PUT on THE TRAIL

Des Moines, Sept. 14.-Five bandits
perpetrated a successful holdup of a
passenger train on the Rock Island
road near Let's shortly after midnight.
The statements of expressmen are
that they secured no money, though
the safe was blown open and the on
tents taken, the officers asserting that
the safe contained merchandise of
some value, company papers in transit,
ETC., but no money.
Three special trains, on ore of which
are posses of railroad and express en-
ployes and a number of officers, were
rushed to the scene Immediately upon
the receipt Of the news, going from
Muscatine, West Liberty and Daven-
port. Horses were procured in the
country surrounding Columbus juno
ton and in that town, nea which point
the robbers left the railroad. Mounted
men with b~loodhounds are now scour-
ing the country for miles in every d.
rection in an effort to a%pprehend the
robbers. while all the railway trains
that passed through Columbus Junction
or nearby points from the time of the
robbery are being held up by the Off
GERS and carefully inspected by them
to ascertain il the bandits are under
taking to escape in this way. The en-
gineer and fireman of the train fur
nished pretty accurate descriptions of
three Of the men.
Second Holdup at Same Point.
The robbery occurred at 1916 at a
place known as Whiskey Hollow, about
six miles out of Muscatine and near
Fruitland. The train, known as No.
II, is a through Chicago and Kansas
City train. The robbery was at the
end of a sharp curve and exactly
where a similar holdup was engineered
two years ago by the Chicago car barn
bandits. The engineer, as the train
rounded the curve, saw a red lantern
on the track and Immediately stopped
the train. The engine, express car
and baggage car were boarded by the
robbers. apparently five in number.
A fusillade of shots was fired from
the sides of the train to prevent inter-
ference by passengers. The messen-
ger of the express car was compelled
to open the door. The car safe was
dynamited and the contents taken,
after which the engine crew was COM
PEELED to return to the passenger
coaches, the engine cut off and the
robbers mounted it and ran it. west
through Let's and to within two miles
of Columbus Junction. where the en-
CINE was left standing on the track.
The manner in which the robbers
handled the engine. their knowledge
of the fact that Let's was a closed
station at night and their selection of
a point contiguous to Columbus juno
ton to abandon the engine convinces
the officers that the robbers or some
Of them are experienced railroad men.

A WOMAN OF BATTLE.

A
In the old Gays before the Pacific
roads and before the power of the red
man was broken, nine of US troopers Of
the Fourth cavalry, under command of
a sergeant. We're ordered out to escort
the col0nel's wife from Fort Hill to
Lawrenceburg, that she might take the
stage there for a visit TO her home in
the east. There was a truce just then
between white and red, though liable to
be broken by the latter without notice
and at any moment.
During the long days ride, the lady
being in an ambulance. we knew that
we We're being followed by Indians, but
they did not seek to overhaul US. At
about shutdown we went into camp on
a wooded hill, with the ground pretty
thickly streWn with powders of all
sizes. We got the horses and mules
UP there, but the vehicle was left down
on the plain. 1t was d cone-shaped hill
amidst half dozen such, but il COM
nanded the others It was covered
with pines and cedars of small growth.
and there was a splendid spring right
on the crest.
If the Indians had been fierce in their
pursuit or crafty in their plans we
could not have reached this point on
our journey They had broken the truce
and sent out war parties, but were pro

go into camp. the small party Jhat hau

and as soon as we had had bite to
eat we began terrifying our position

Indians made a sudden dash at the hill
We rallied in moment and opened
fire and after ten minutes hot work
the band retreated and left three dead
warriors within 80 feet of our breast

circle a bout 30 feet across, with stones
and powders and logs for shelter, ana
though the situation was an anxious
one and full of danger, We were all IN
good spirits. We made fire between
two rocks and prepared a hearty sup
per, and by the use of blankets we put
up tent for the colOners wife and
made her as snug and safe as possible
We felt that we were safe from
another attack that night, but what
would happen on the morrow was a
matter for grave consideration. 1t
was more than likely that couple
of hundred Indians would be brought
up and take positions during the
night, and even if they did not seek

hold us on the hill until we were
starved into surrender or eXterminat-
ed one by one.
None of US except the women slept
an hour all night long We used lev
ers to loosen other powders and roll
them into the circle. and with our
knives and hatchets we cut off limbs
and cut down small trees and used
them for chinking. We got the ami
mails into a sort of gully below US
and made their position as safe as
possible. and when daylight came
