PASSENGERS HELD
 UP IN NEW MEXICO
ALL ARE ROBBED OF vALUABLEs AND EXPRESS AND MAIL CARS ARE RUN DOWN TRACK AND DYNAMITED.

Fl Paso, Tex July s1.-A train crew which has just arrived with light en- zine from Santa Rosa reports that Rock Island passenger train No. 4 which left El Paso yesterday morning at o'clock, was held-up near Tucumcari, New Mex ico. and robbed.
 The passengers were lined up and their valuables taken from them. after which the express and mall cars were uncoupled from the train and run about two miles up the track and there dynamited and | robbed The robbery was reported at Logan, a small station some distance from Tucumcari, by one of the passen- gers, who had escaped the robbers.
 At the headquarters of the Fl Paso and Northeastern railroad, the news of the train robbery has received partial con- firmation, but the officials say they can learn nothing definite as the hold-up oc- cured off their division. The dispatchers in this city, while admitting a knowledge of the reported robbery, profess to know no particulars.
 Delhart Tex, July 31.-Rock Island pas- senger train No. 1, east bound, was held up last night about seventy miles west of Delhart by three masked men at a small station called Logan. Engineer G. D. Walker made the following statement concerning the hold-up:
 We had made our regular stop at Lo- gan when both myself and the fireman were covered with guns and ordered to move up. We did as ordered, and stop ped the train at the end of the swith. The robbers then had us uncouple the mail and express cars, and run a. short dis tance up the track where they again or- dered us to stop, when they proceeded to enter the express car and attacked the through safe with explosives. They ex- ploded two separate charges of dynamite on the safe, but failed to effect an en- trance. Having used up all their explo- sives, they made off in the darkness. The mail car and passengers were not disturb ed. The explosions badly wrecked the ex- press car and safe. The local safe did not contain any money, consequently the robbers did not secure anything"
 A posse from Delhart, headed by Sher- fir J. N. Webb. was rushed to the scene of the hold-up, and at a late hour this evening 1t Is said they have the rob- bers surrounded and expect to make a capture.

PRESERVES CUP USED
BY ROBERT BURNS

Boston, Nov. 26.-Treasured by Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Crosby, of Arlington,
as one of the most valuable relics in
this state is an old wooden stirrup cup
which was used by Robert Burns.
The cup was a legacy to Mrs. Cros'
by from her father, William Gibson
Smith, of Boston.
1t is a goblet-shaped affair of dark
colored wood, about ive and One-half
inches high and three inches across the
bowl and base. The bowl has been
broken in several places, but is mend
ed, and, to better preserve it, Mrs.
Crosby has had il lined with silver.
While it was in her fathers posses
sion silver band was put around the
stem at the base of the bowl, silver
plate bearing the inscription, "Robert
Burns Stirrup Cup" was fastened on
the base and the exterior was var
nished. The stem, piece of wood
about two inches long, is formed from
ipart Of an old dining table used by
Robert the Bruce, the remainder OF
the table still being preserved a
Broderick Castle, Isle of Arran.
During the later years Of the poet
life the cup was used by his Bonnie
Jean" as sugar bowl, and at tn
sale of Mrs Burns effects at DUN
fries, after her death, it was bough
by Thomas Cruikshanks, of Beverl,
Farms.
A festival attended by about 10
members of the CaledOnian and BO'
ton Scottish Clubs was held at the RI
we're House January 25, 1859, to eel'
brate the centenary Of the birth Q

PEARLS
ON THE
WABASH

Alto Pass, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-Hundreds
of people are searching for pearls along
the Wabash river, which is reputed to
be the greatest producer of pearls of
the world IS rivers. Me demand for
Wabash pearls has grown so that even
in Paris and other large foreign cities
dealers are besieged with orders from
the wealthy and titled people, and it is
believed that pearl for which the
finder receives $500 or $4OO will bring
that many thousand dollars from a
wealthy foreign nobleman.
The fame of these pearls, which
grow on the inside of an mussel shells,
has spread like wildfre, and the de-
mand cannot be anywhere near sup
piled. Several of the more fortunate
pearl hunters have already made a com,
potency.
