Father Kroeger, the priest healer of
Epiphany, an armed guard has been
placed over the treasure.
Epiphany is situated in an out-of-

Father Kroeger always has on hand
many thousands Of dollars in cash,
the fear that robbers, urged on by the
possibility of securing a rich prize,
might raid the bank appears to be
based on a solid foundation.

FREEDOM FOR LONE ROBBER
DOORS OPEN ON MAN WHO HELD UP
TRAIN SINGLE.HANDED.
Wilson Voluntarily Surrendered and Con-
fessed His Crime. A Most
Notable Exploit

The doors of the Missouri peritenti-
airy opened Thursday to Sam Wilson,
known as the "lone train robber, !"
who was received at the penitentiary
July 3, 1893, and was set at liberty
after serving three-fourths of the 10
years to which he was sentenced.
The most notable exploit in Wilson's
criminal career was the robbery of
the Missouri Pacific train which left
ST. Louis on the night OF May "a, 1893
1t was held up one mile west OF the
town of Pacific. The express car was
shattered with dynamite and the ex-
press messenger was compelled to open
the safe and deliver its contents, which
amounted to "a 900 in silver, to the lone
robber. Within a month after the
robbery Wilson voluntarily surrender
ed to the authorities and confessed his
crime A considerable portion of the
money was recovered.
In view of these facts and his good
conduct while in prison Wilson was
released several years before the ex-
piratlon of his sentence.

Lost thousands in Terraplns.

Perhaps the most disgruntled man
in Maryland is Mr.. Frank G.. Lewis,
who lost in a recent storm 1880
terrapins which he had in ponds on the
Chesapeake Bay ready for shipment to
the millionaire nabobs of New York
and other parts of the country. The
diamond terrapin of Maryland
retails at about IS each. In old times
they could be purchased for about 2s
cents, and it is of record that they
were so cheap and abundant that
planters of the tide water used to feed
them to negro slaves, until the darkeys
rebelled against such fare.

there is no certainty of Judge Park

in Connection with his ST. Louis trip
or at any other time or place. The
principle on which Judge Parker will
act in the matter was learned from an
intimate associate of the Judge, who
said:
Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility of speechmaking for it's own
sake, and will make no speeches any
where for the mere purpose of ap.
pearing in any given locality. He
believes a stumping tour by politi'
cal candidate to be improper and he
will undertake no such tour The
only condition upon which he will
make any speech anywhere will be the
fact that he has some definite thing
to say, and that he is convinced by
his own reason that some given time
and place best suits the saying of il
there and then You may say with
the utmost confidence that under no
other conditions will Judge Parker
make any speech anywhere"
