BL0ODHOUNDS
FOUND TRAIL OF THE
TRAIN ROBBERS
SIX WERE CAPTURED
Armed But Offered No
Resistance.

Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 16.-Infor-
for the Rock Island train robbers is
to the effect that four men have been
captured, two having been taken into
custody as they were boarding an
Iowa Central train at the Brighton de-
pot at D. m, and two earlier in the
afternoon.
The detectives engaged on the case,
are convinced that the arrests are inn
portant though they acknowledge
there is a great possibility of mistake.
The prisoners, they state, have told
conflicting stories since their arrest.
They closely resemble the minute de-
scription furnished by the crew of the
train that was held up and are strang-
ers in the locality in which they werfe
found. Yet they offered no resistance
when arrested Notwithstanding the
fact that they were heavily armed.
Detectives Eddy, Romeler, Shields
and Herr of Chicago in the employ of
the United States Express company,
secured fresh pack of bloodhounds
at noon after all others had abandoned
the search and the hounds led rhcm
in exactly the opposite direction from
that which had been taken yesterday.
Detective Brendle of the Rock Island
secret service and Sheriff Macarthur of
Davenport then obtained Information
independently by which they were
able to trace the two men who were
first captured. in the direction of the
Sunk river bottoms west of Winfield

SORE At CITY
No New Station Is in
Sight.

From surface indications the Penn.
sylvania Railroad company and Canton
are not dwelling together in the spirit
of brotherly harmony that for many
years characterized the relationship
of the two corporations.
The cause that has lead to this feel
ing may have resulted from the action
of the people and the firms of the city
who have been quietly issuing orders
to give all the shipments possible to
the Wabash or the b. G. o. and only to
the Pennsylvania when compelled. 1t
is known that the Wabash has had a
phenomenal increase of business and ii
is surmised that much of it is at the
expense of the Pennsylvania company,
In the passenger department the loss
of the business of the company is even
more marked. The Wabash has cut the
st. Louis business of the Pennsylvania
in two. this for the reason that it has
the faster train service and better ter
ting so that only those who are not
posted use the Penna. for st. Louis.
For Chicago travel those who are post
ed use the night B. & o. train from Chi
cago. Owing to the length of the route
of the b. & o. from Chicago to Cleve-
land the railroad pool allows them to
carry passengers for less than the &C
tual mileage with the result that Ii
makes the road the cheapest means of
transportation from Chicago to this
section of the country The length of
the ride Is an advantage rather than
disadvantage for the reason that II
allows you to stay in the sleeper long
er and thus secure your normal rest
1t is pretty well understood in cer-
tain quarters that many who have
smarted under the actions of the PENN
sylvania and the opportunity seems to
be at hand to feed their ancient
grievances.
However this may be it is semi-offi-

SEVEN DOLLAR
CLERK SHOWED FINANCIAL
PRECOClTY.
PLUNGED AT RACES
On Proceeds of Clever
Forgeries

New York, Sept. 16.--Youthful pre-
cicity and financial ingenuity which
rebelled at compensation at 81 week
for managing a millionaire's real es-
tate interests are the principal features
of the story surrounding the arrest
this afternoon of Frank O'Donnell, a
clerk, who was later locked up at po-
lice headquarters in this city charged
with forgeries said to total 100000.
Inspector McCuskey, whose detectives
made the arrest, says ODonnell has
shown abilities in his brief career
which mark him as youth of I'M
doubted powers.
AS the facts are related by the po-
lice, O'Donnell shook off the fetters
OF poverty by a skillful manipulation of
his employers checks. With the cap
ital thus acquired he seized upon the
bookmakers' trade as the surest meth
cd of developing his finance. When
Detective Sergeant Flannelly located
the young man this afternoon he
found him seated on a stool in the
Big Ring" at Brighton Beach where
only the bookmakers prepared to ac-
cept the largest bets are permitted to
do business. Flannelly touched the
young man on the shoulder and told
him he was wanted"
"AH right" was the steady answer.
1--WE just cleaned up $1,000 on the
third race and am doing business on
the fourth. Will you wait until fin
'sh!"
The detective acquiesced and O'Don-
nell closed up his books, with a sub
stan,ial profit on the fourth race, set
tied other matters at the track and ac-
companied the detective. When he
was searched $4,000 in bills were
found on his clothes.
O'Donne!l was employed by Edward
Fl. Floyd-Jones, a millionaire lawyer
ana real estate operator with offices at
81 Wall street. Mr.. Floyd-Joncs WIS.,
tied the st. Louis fair and later went
to Europe, leaving his business in
O'Donnell's hands. The youth received
81 week Mr.. Floyd-Jones returned
en- September 10 and found his man
ager had been missing since the 9Th.
An investigation of the Office ac-
counts, Mr. Floyd-Jones told the .po-
lice showed that O'Donnell had raised
his 81 check weekly to $40 and fixed
other checks so that his forgeries
reached over $4,000. ODonnell had
been in the lawyers employ for four
years and was trusted When locked
up the young man partially admitted
the charges.

DYNAMITE
Plot Is Discovered at
PittSburg

Pittsburg, Pa, Set ia large stick
of dynamite, a cap and a long coil of
wire was found this afternoon under
the city stables, connected with the
east end ponce station and the police
fear an attempt was to be made to
blow the station up. The stick, which
an expert said was dynamite, was
about a foot long and rne wire ran to
an incandescent light bulb, where evil
dences of an attempted connection
were found. After the first stick had
been removed, a more thorough search
revealed four more sticks hidden be-
hind an old box, one broken but the re-
mainder intact. The police are on the
hunt of the dynamiters.
1t was suggested that joke was
being perpetrated but the expert said
this was impossibple.

Man Held on Grave Charge Sunday Selling
Got SaIO0nkeeper Into Trouble.
SEVERAL UGLY. CASES REPORTED

The grand jury which had been in
session since Monday, reported to
Judge Harter Friday afternoon at 4:30,
returning 35 indictments. The jury
examined IT'S witnesses, covering 33
cases, returned 35 true bills and ig-
nored six cases. Some of the matters
reported were not gone into, but were
certified down to the probate court.
Among the indictments was one
ing goods by false pretense. Settler
had charge of the Manhattan Supply
company in Canton and few months
ago went into bankruptcy, failing for
about $4,000, his assets selling for
a little over $4,000.
The hnot-Stephenson Co., of
Pittsburg, one of the creditors, had
Mr.. Seltzer arrested and taken before
Mayor Smith on the charge of obtain
ing goods by false pretenses, and he
was bound over to the grand jury with
the result that an indictment was re-
turned. The charge was that he had
represented himself to be worth a
large sum of money, when in fact he
was insolvent. He owed the Pittsburg
company $1,954.
OTHER INDICTMENTS.
William II. Wilson, who shot Clif.
ford Boylan on the occasion of the
race riot in Canton some time ago,
was indicted for shooting with intent

John Quincy Adams, who was mixed
up in the same riot, was also indicted
for assault with intent to kill. Both
the men are colored. Wilson is in
stealing eggs, having secured his re,
lease from Jail on bonds. Boylan's un.
expected recovery alone prevented a
more serious charge.
A prominent Stark county physician
was indicted for criminal practice, but
as he has not been arrested his name
cannot be given out.
SUNDAY SELLING.
There are six indictments for sell
ing liquor on Sunday and keeping
places open on that day. Two are
against Caroline Studor. It is said
that some one of Carolnes enemies

things. The result was the indict

tion has been made a number Of
times.
In dismissing the jury Judge Hartel
thanked the members for their dill

often at great personal sacrifice. Tht
