DARING AFFAIR RECALLED.

The Copley robbery was a daring at
fair that cost Express Messenger w. j.
O'Neil his life and brought nothing to
the robbers in the way of booty. On
the night of March 81, 1904. the south
bound Oregon express was held up at
Copley, Shasta County, by three men.
When they called upon Messenger
O'Neil to open the door of his car he
refused. The robbers then forced a
brakeman to ran on the door and when
O'Neil opened 1t a little way and
showed himself he was shot dead.
Then the robbers entered the car and,
placing package of dynamite on top
of the express safe, retreated g. dis
tance and touched the explosive off.
Unfortunately for their plan, however.
the main part of the safe, in which was
stored much coin, was not destroyed
by the explosion. Consequently the
robbers got nothing for their daring
but murderous work. Realizing that
their time was precious the robbers cut
of from the train the first locomotive,
and boarding it ordered the engineer
to convey them to a point near Kes-
wick, where they alighted and disap-
peared in the darkness Of the night.
The next seen Of the robbers was four
days later, while they were making
their way northward, and the fact that
they had formerly lived in Amador
County and were acquainted with min
ing caused the detectives to believe
that the men were heading for the
extreme northern part Of the State

Long Pursuit of Murderers
of Messenger w. j. O'Neil
Closes in a Tragic Manner
on the Southern Frontier

George and Vernon Gates, the Cop
ley train robbers, whom the Southern
Pacific and Wells-Fargo detectives
have been eagerly looking for eevr
since the commission of the robbery on
March 81 Of last year. have paid the
penalty of their many offenses and
now lie buried In unmarked graves on
the outskirts of Lordsburg. N. M. This
information was received yesterday by
John F. Seymour, chief of Wells, Fargo
d Co.. secret agents, from Detective
j. N. Thacker, who is now in Lords
burg. whittier he started a week ago
last Saturday on receipt of information
that the Gates brothers were in that To-
cality. Thacker had hardly arrived in
New Mexico when two men, who have
since been identified as the Gates
brothers, were shot by Sheriff's posse.
According to the message received by
Captain Seymour two men held up
saloon in Lordsburg on March Is and
with their loot hurried off to the noun
tains. Sheriff McGrath of Lordsburg
Immediately organized posse and
started in pursuit After a hot chase
the posse overlook the robbers at the
town of Separ and when the two men
showed resistance they were killed. The
youthful appearance of the dead men
caused the authorities of Lordsburg to
institute an investigation with view
of discovering their identity. which, it
is said was finally effected through
photographs of the Gates brothers then
in the possession Of one of the South
ern Pacific representatives of the Pink
erton Detective Agency of Chicago.
THACkER IDENTIFIES BODIES.
Learning that Detective Thacker was
scouting along the southern border in
search of George and Vernon Gates, the
authorities of Lordsburg communicated
with him, and arriving at Lordsburg
the San Franciscan promptly complet-
ed the work of Identification. Thack-
ers message to Captain Seymour reads
as follows:
Seymour Special w. F.-Just returned from
Parral. Mexico. 1 find that George Gates and

he was fully satisfied that the men
killed at Separ were George and YER
non Gates. Several weeks ego the ex-
press company was advised that the
Gates boys had been seen in New
Mexico, apparently making for the
border, and Detective Thacker, who
was familiar with all the incidents of
the Copley robbery, Immediately start
ed south with the idea of heading the
robbers off and capturing them. 1t
was Thacker's plan Of intercepting the
men before they could reach Mexico
that accounts for the detectives pres
ence in Parral. from which place he
was summoned to Lordsburg.

the .srcssslom OF NORWAY.

For over 400 years. from 1876 to 1914.
Norway was q province of Denmark.
Against her will she was transferred to
8 seden, Bernadotte, one Of Napoleon's
marshals, who had been elected Crown
Prince Of Sweden by the efforts Of a
coal. ton Of mobiles. King Charles XIII
b sing childless, united with England to
compel Denmark to make the transfer.
Il 1918. Bernadotte succeeded TO the
throne as Charles XIV. He united the
two countries. but each kept its laws
aud its national Legislature, with
power to l~egislate for its own territory
subject to the royal veto. and represen-
tatiyes from each sat in the cabinet.
Ever since the union there has been a
strong opposition to it. Norway Is
more liberal, more democratic. as Is
natural ia a land of m~ountaineers,
sailors and fishermen. The nationalist
movement has been stimulated for
sentimental aud poetical reasons 10y
Norwegian writers. Norway Is Tor
free trade, Sweden for protection.
Since 1890 the Non wegian nationalist
have demanded a separate Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and a separate consular
service. A bill for the latter purpose
was passed by the Norwegian Ssorthing
or national assembly. 1t was vetoed by
King Oscar ii. one Of the ablest and
most democratic of rulers. Thereupon
the Storthing declared the union dis
solved. Sweden declined to recognize
the dissolution. Norway invited GER
tain royal families to furnish her with
q king. The German Emperor shows
an ostentatious sympathy with Sweden.
Russia, which covers Scandinavia, is
not in a position to take much OF a
hand in the controversy. IL involves.
or may involve, the command OF the
Baltic and the exclusion Of Russia there
from. 1t might involve a world war.
In short, it is so dangerous that 1t will

Nondon Catholic Times. Aug. 12)
The Most Rev. DR.. Glenuon, arch
bishop of st. Louis, [. S. A, landed in
Queenstown from the Campania on
Friday. His Grace was received by
Fathers Browne and English. repre-
senting the bishop of Cloyne. whose
guest he became during his stay at
Cork. At DR.. Brownies residence he
had the pleasure of meeting DR. Scan
nell, bishop of Omaha and DR.. Garri-
gan, bishop of Sioux City, who were
about to leave for New York after hav-
ing spent a pleasant holiday in Ireland.
Here DR.. Glennon also met Rev. ]. =
Ryan, president of st. Patricks coz
lege, Thurles, representing the arch
bishop Of Cashel, whose invitation to
spend few days with him he accepted.
On Saturday evening he left for
Thurles, where he met the Most Rev.
DR.. Ryan, archbishop of Philadelphia,
his predecessor in the See of St. Louis,
who is also the guest of the Most Rev.
DR.. Fennelly. The people of the pros
porous Tipperary town must have felt
highly honored on Sunday by the pres
ence OF three distinguished archbishops
in their midst
In reply to an address of welcome,
presented TO him by the Thurles Ur-
ban council on Wednesday, the arch
bishop Of Philadelphia delivered an elo-
quent speech, in the course of which
he said the heart swells within man
when he comes TO visit his native
place, and when he finds that there are
hearts true and warm and thrilling
with affection to receive him. One
loves his country, and who does not,
is wanting in some respect; he is not
perfected, rounded man, with all the
qualities of true manhood, in whose
heart is not found the spirit of pa
triotism. His Grace went on to ex-
plain that there was something deeper
in our nature than even patriotism,
and that was the feeling for religion.
In his case both were united in that
spot. There he served mass for years,
holding up the train of that great old
archbishop, DR.. Slattery. With all that
was holy, there was united all that
was patriotic in the association OF the
place. There he first saw Daniel O'Con-
nell kneeling inside the rails, for that

was privilege granted TO the Eman-
cipator of the Catholics.
There he took the pledge from Father
Mathew sixty-six years ago. There
he saw that glorious and accomplished
prelate who built up and decorated
their magnificent cathedral-Arch-
bishop Leahy, who shed a lustre upon
the diocese, who, at the great general
council Of the vatican, evoked the ad-
miration of the assembled bishops OF
the world, and who made the diocese
of Cashel famous throughout the uni
verse. Having referred in terms OF
deep affection to DR.. Croke. that great
patriot whom he met in later days
and who had passed away a short time
ago, his grace said he was encouraged
by these associations to go on in his
career, for first impressions were the
deepest and most permanent AS ne
came through the town shat day ana
looked around hi mat the old houses ne
knew so we'll and approached that
sanctuary, within his breast he felt
the desire to reconsecrate his heart TO
God, and for the few years that may
be left TO him to more and more en-
deavor to serve the God who had given
him his vocation and protected him
during all these days. In conclusion,
DR.. Ryan said he felt his heart too full
for perfect utterance. From his soul
he thanked them and would ask Al
mighty God to bless them and theirs
until the end.
