Manitoba, says:
The Canadian Pacific westbound
transcontinental express was held up
by four masked men.
The holdup occurred our and a half
miles west of Mission Junction. in a
wooded district. Three of the men
crawled over the tender of the loco
motive. and at the point of revolvers
ordered Engineer Scott to stop the
train. They left one man to guard the
engineer. the others taking the fire

robbers then had the engine and eX-

Messenger Herbert Smith at first re-
fused to open the car door, but on be-

blown up with dynamite. of which they
had a quantity. he complied, was dis
armed and forced to open the safe.
They secured $4,000 or $4,000 in gold

WAS CLEvERLY PLANNED.
Details of tho Robbery Arc Telearaphed
to Seattle.

Seattle. Wash. Sept. IA special to
the Observation-Disclosures from Vancouver,
II. c.. says:
Today's developments in the robbery
of $3.50 from a Canadian Pacific rain
on saturday night show that the rob-
hars fled for the United States and
probably are now safely across the
border.
The robbery was planned to the
minutest detail. After having robbed
The express and mail cars the robbers
forced Fireman Freeman to uncouple
h engine, and with it they started for
a point which they named two miles
down Tie track toward Vancouver.
When they approached the place the
leader ordered a stop. The robbers
clambered off. the leader backing away,
covering the engineer with his revolver.
This morning the special train carrying
the posse arrived at the spot where
the robbers jumped off. From there the
tracks led plainly along the railroad
for 200 yards. then through a field to
the bank of the Frazer river, close at
hand. There the three men had
jumped into a boat which they doubt
Iessiy had previously prepared, and
crossed the river. On the other side
they started for the international
distance of eleven miles. They may
have had horses. and could have
reached American I 'rritory by daylight
today. hi police are watching this
district and enclosing the roads on all
sides. SO that there is still a chance Of
the men being captured before they
reach Blaine or Bellingham.
They left nothing behind to give the
slightest indication of their identity.
Their masks and outer clothing must
all have been removed. The registered
lnafl sack was carried away. The mys-
terry is increased by the receipt of a
telegram yesterday from an unknown
source directing the telegraph operator
at Mission to have the express agent
open the safe. This message evidently
couver was away Or for some other
reason that the combination could not
be opened here. The telegram was
signed D. fer the dispatcher, and 1t
is thought to have been sent by the
robbers tapping the wires and using
their own instruments. The safe was
opened. but contained nothing. The
sending OF the telegram, together with
other circumstances. shows that the
robbers were familiar with local con-
ditions. 1t is thought that they climbed
on the blind baggage at Mission.
Neither the brennan or engineer heard
Il sound until a revolver in the hand
of the leader touched the drivers
shoulder. When the engineer turned
he found his revolver and two rifles
leveled at him from the coal tender.
The only man In the train crew who
had u gun was the express messenger.
and he promptly put it away, when
the.r robbers appeared at his door with
the muzzles Of their rifles sticking into
the ribs OF the ireman and engineer.

AN American or Englishman looks In

Of the huge advertising billboards that
disfgure to such a great extent his
home cities. Flashing electric signs,
that blaze over half the heaven by
night and demand in green and red and
blue letters that one use Browns pure

pills." are also absent. In place Of
these necessities of nineteenth century
commercialism Freiburg has establish
ed a system of municipal bulletin
boards and columns. There are fifty
of these display places in the city, sit
uated where they will attract the most
attention without injuring in any way
the appearance of the street as a
whole. A person having something to
announce goes to the city hall with his
bills, pays his fee, which is % cents
per square foot for the first day and
10 cents for each succeeding day, with
liberal reductions for long periods, and
goes out. On his way home he will
see the poster already sticking up his

The Zeal ms Imitation.

Professor Ray Lancaster, the British

trick practiced by London dealers in
osprey plumes. Some time ago the
Princess of Wales placed herself at the
head of a movement to discourage the
use of real osprey piumes in order to
save the birds from slaughter. The re-
suit was an immediate decline in the
sale, since fashion could not fly in the
face OF the Princess Of Wales. But re-
