MargaTet's life seemed hcdgrd around

encouraged her husband 10 get hin away

TRAIN ROBBERY EXPECTED
Railway Authorities Placed Heavily
Armed Guard on Duty.

ATTHGO OudTO OF Duly.
Gochen, Ind, Aug. 6.-The authOri-
ties now make public that the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railway
officers expected train robbery Tues
day night, and extraordinary precau-
lions were taken. Trustworthy men of
Chicago, heavily armed, were placed
on the train, and cities along the line,
from Chicago to Toledo, were similarly
called upon. There was no attempt to
disturb the train, and it is now said
that the contemplated attack was
clipped off" by a Chicago man, who ex-
pected to profit thereby.
Joseph Thiele of this city met one
of the supposed Illinois Central train
robbers in this city, not knowing at
the time that he was wanted" and
when he informed the police it was
too late to successfully pursue. The
fellow met Mr.. Thiele and asked him
for coat; the garment he was wear
ing being badly torn in the back. The
stranger remarked, 1--WE f1eshy men
can't climb through barbed wire
fences" He answered fully the de-
scription sent out by the Chicago po-
lice.
