Wireless Telegrnphy for Weather Bureau.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
directed Chief Moore, of the United

addition to reporting all vessels pas

The tests made by the Weather
Bureau show that with only such
transmitting power as vessels con-
,veniently can carry it will be possible
easily to keep them in communication
within a range OF 200 miles off shore.

MASKED MEN HELD UP TRAIN.
Daring Robbery Of an Express Car on North.
ern Pacific Road.

Bar Mouth, Mont, (SpeciaD Two
masked men held up the North Coast
Limited Northern Pacific passenger
train, eastbound, at about a mile and
half east of this station After
bringing the train TO stop they dyna-
mlted the express car, blew open the
safe and secured all its contents The
amount secured is not known. but it
is believed TO be large. After blowing
out the rear lights of the train the two
men disappeared.
The holdup was similar to the one
which occurred two years ago at
nearly the same spot and i'll which
Engineer O'Neal lost his life.
The robbers boarded the tender Of
the engine at the water tank at Bear
Mouth, and, after having remained
quiet until the train had gone mile
and half, they crawed up over the
coal and covered Engineer Wade and
Fireman Reed with their pistols and
told them to throw up their hands.
Engineer Wade was then commanded
to bring his train 10 standstill and
Immediately complied.
The engineer and fireman were
ordered from their engine and, with
the robbers, went back to the express
car. Before making an effort to gain
an entrance they forced the engineer
to light cigar The express messen-
ger was commanded to open the door,
but refused. The engineer was next
commanded to light a stick of dyna-
mite, OF which explosive the robbers
had large quantity, and he placed tho
lighted stick against the car door
The force of the explosion completely
wrecked the door, and the engineer
and fireman were cmpelled to precede
the rObhere
