LEADS TO ANARCHY.
Portland Oregon IAN

Portland Oregonian,
At Corvallis, Forest Grove
and other places where at
tempts are being made to sell
liquor in defiance of law and
public opinion, it will be found
that such a course only serves
to strengthen the anti-saloon
forces and increase their de-
termination to win. The To-
cal option law is now the law
of the state and should be
obeyed. The man who open
1y defes the law is walking
the high road that leads to
anarchy.

GEORGE WILSON'S BRAVERY
PREVENTS TRAIN ROBBERY.
TAKES BANDIT BY SURPRISE
Daring Attempt to Rob North Coast
Limited Ends in Capture of
Robber.

Missoula, Sunday, May 28.-George
l.. Wilson, engineer of train No. 2,
the eastbound North Coast Limited,
which left here a little behind time
last night, is the hero of the hour.
His train was held UP at the fatal
spot, two and one4half miles east OF
Bearmouth, where Dan O'Neal was
killed three years ago, and where
George Hammond and John Christie
a year ago held UP the same train.
Wilson and the express messenger
Of the train, while the robber was
blowing the side out of the express
car, hit him with club and beat him
badly, and when, after the smoke
had blown away and the train had
pulled on to Hell Gate, the next sta
ton east of Bearmouth, the robber
whose name is not known, was Sc
curely tied and safe. He is so badly
injured from the humping that ne
received that it is feared that the
results may be serious.

tails concerning the sinking of the

Only Meager Advices Given Out Re-
garoing Great Battle.
New York, May 28.-A cable to the
Associated Press from Toxic says that
a report has reached here that the
Japanese fleet under Admiral Togo
has engaged the Russian fleet and
that four cruisers, two battle ships
and one supply ship have been sunk.
1t is not stated that the Japanese have
lost any vessels.
A special to the Sun from Washing
ton says a cable has been received
from Nagasaki by the Japanese minis
ter, saying that the Japanese sunk
one battleship, four cruisers and a
supply ship. The Japanese consulate
caples that the great battle began last
night, and is still raging.
Only meager advices have been given
out in Toxic regarding the battle be-
tween the fleets of Rojestvensky and
Togo, but such as they are they have
set the city wild with joy. They are
taken as indications of a decisive JAP
anese victory and the crippling of the
Russian fleet. One battleship and
-four cruisers have been sunk and five
other unnamed vessels badly damag
ed. 1t is rumored here that the tor
pedo boats played an important part
in the Japanese attack, but this is
only one of many conflicting rumors
flying everywhere. Everywhere crowds
are marching the streets crying "Ban
zai! Banzai!"
The imperial navy is silent, but
confident of the outcome.

Glasgow Municipal Traction Expert
Enroute to Chicago.

Enroute to Chicago.
New York, May 28.-James Dali
rymple, superintendent of the city
tramway system of Glasgow, Scotland,
who comes to this country at the invi-
tation of Mayor Dunno of Chicago, to
advise the officials OF the western
metropolis in their experiment with
municipal ownership, arrived here yes
terday on the steamer Campania.
Speaking of his mission to Chicago
and municipal ownership generally,
Mr.. Dalrymple sald that the principle
had been successfully demonstrated
in Glasgow.
Glasgow now controls its gas, elec-
tricity, tramways, water, markets,
parks, baths, lodging houses and tele-
pnone systems" he said. 'The tele-
phone system is not so much OF a
success as we expected, however, as
we are fighting the National Tele-
phone company, but we belive that in
time, however, we will get it in better
order.
"The situation in Glasgow is diff.
ferent from what it DIS here" he said
I'm this country I understand every
man holding a municipal position has
to be a politician, whereas in Glasgow
every man in the city service must
not he a politician"

Wilson's Story.
Engineer Wilson told the following
story when interviewed today at the
roundhouse on the fats east OF Butte:
After leaving Missoula we stopped
at the water tank, and / think this
is where the man got on l do not
know how many were on the tank,
but think there had been a couple
of bums stealing ride. heard some
one shout to me to stop, but paid no
aLLention to him until finally he enter
ed the cab, and sticking two guns
into my face he said: 4 guess you will
stop now, won't you? / followed di-
lrections and put ON the air.
"He then compelled Fireman Frank
Daggett to uncouple the mail and ex-
press car and forced us to pull ahead
few lengths, when he had the mail
car taken off, and we went ahead
again for short distance. The man
stood close to me all the time but
never asked me to put up my hands.
"After the dynamite had been pro-
cured he forced me to blow open
the safe I was playing for all the
time | could get and the safe was not
opened until the third blast. AT first
he wanted to blow UP the car, messen-
ger and all, but l would not stand
for this and he finally consented to
go after the safe.
"The first two charges were light
and did little damage, but he forced
me to use more dynamite the third
time when the safe was opened. Inc
sight of the money must have turned
the thief's thoughts from his danger
for moment, as he put down the

money. All our work had been done

then put the holdup on his back, and,
holding him down with my foot on mis-
neck, searched him, but he did not
have any more guns.
1--WE then tied him and backed up to

Butte, leaving the holdup at Drum

just beginning TO come around when
we left him. Lobdell hit him an awful
blow, and if he RECEIVERS from it

Mail Clerks Story.
F. c. Kendall, one of the mail clerks
who makes his home in tnis city, tells
the following about the holdup:
"We must have been about two and
one-half miles east of Bearmouth
when the train was stopped. The
mail and express cars were uncoupled
and taken about four lengths away
when the mail car was uncoupded and
taken about the same distance again.
c. A. Danner, my partner. was forced
to get the dynamate, which was hid
near the scene Of the holdup, and the
man standing behind Danner forced
the messenger to leave his car.
"The engineer was with him all the
time After looking around the hold-
up thought there were too many peo-
pie present, and forced Kendall, Dan
ner and the electrician to enter the
coaches, where Fireman Daggett had
already been sent. The work OF blow
| ing up the safe then started, but we
did not see it, as only the messenger
and engineer were present. He must
have got on at the water tank and
crawled over the coal into the cab.
Two tramps were stealing a ride, but
they disappeared very quickly.
1--WE found several cartridges, 40-44,
on the floor of the car, and the hold
ups pockets were filed with them,
he also had one full box. He wore
blue bandana handkerchief over his
face, with holes cut for his eyes and
his mouth, and we cut the most OF it
up for souvenirs. This is piece Of 1T
here,' and the clerk showed a quar-
ter section which he had taken, and
also one of the cartridges.
Part of Crew Went On.
4Aail Clerk Danner did not stop in
Butte, but went on to his destination,
Whitehall, Messenger Lobdell also
continued on his run ,and went
through to Forsyth, where he turned
over the car to the messenger of the
next division. The damaged car was
brought to Butte, where it was chang
ed for another, and the damaged one
sent back to Livingston for repairs.
The sides and top in the vicinity
of the safe had been blown out, but
the floor was not damaged.
