RoeBERs LOOT A TRAIN.
Great Northern Overland Held Up
Near Seattle Wash

Near Seattle, Wash.
The Great Northern overland train
ieaving Seattle at 500 Monday night
was held up and the express car dyna-
mited about FIVE miles from Ballard. at
$40 p. m. 1t was IL o'clock before the
train pulled into Edmonds. and meager
reports were sent to the Seattle office.
Sheriff Smith and a posse. armed with
rifles, shCtguns and revolvers. and led
by trained bloodhounds, went in pursuit
of the band of robbers Two boys who
attempted to rob the passengers while
the adult bandits dynamite9 the through
safe in the express car are in jail. Mean
time it is reported that the highwaymen
obtained big shipment of gold from
the Alaskan mines. The amount stolen
is estimated all the way from 81 600 to
100000.
Three men, well dressed in rain coats
and wearing slouch hats did the work.
Conductor Grants report of the holdup
shows that at least seven men were in
the gang that committed the robbery
The condTctor believes three or four of
the gang were further down the track,
but did not take any part. possibly be-
cause the train had stopped too soon.
When once inside the ear the robbers
began dynamiting, the first explosion
being of six sticks. the second of twelve
and the third of eighteen. No one was
injured seriously. although a continual
fire of reyolyers was kept up. After
securing the contents of the safe the
three men started off in an easterly d.
rection.
The train was tagged and as the engi-
neer slowed up two or three men climbed
over the tender and pointed revolyers at
his head. When the train stopped two
OF the robbers jumped off, making the
engineer and fireman follow, and all
marched to the express car door. "Open
the door" the robber commanded the
messenger. He refused and the robber
placed an extra heavy charge of dyna-
mite against it, which he exploded The
explosion tore the car almost to pieces.
The safe was then dynamited. The
train was delayed two and half hours
and then was pulled into Edmonds, max
ing brief report before proceeding to
Everett.
While the robbers were engaged on the
safe, two who had been riding on the
blind baggage slipped off and went
through the train, attempting to hold up
the passengers. They had no guns, but
took advantage of the timidity of the
passengers while the shooting was going
on outside. The boys assert they never
met the holdups until they got on the
train and are in no way connected with
their work. The idea to hold up the
passengers occurred to them after the
explosion

Police Nab Fugitive Accused of Kid
MAPPING Cudahy's Son.

Police Nab Fugitive Accused of Kid
mapping Cudahy's Son.
Pat Grove, wanted by the Omaha po-
lice for kidnapping the son of Edward
Cudahy, the millionaire packer, in 1900,
was arrested in Butte, Mont, Monday
night. Grove acknowledged he was the
fugitive, becoming alarmed when he
feared the authorities were going to
shoot him.
Capt. McGrath and Detective McIner-
ney of the Butte police made the arrest,
placing the muzzles of their revolvers
against his stomach as he emerged from
a saloon in the tenderloin section. Grove
declared he would return to Omaha
without requisition papers. He cursed
bitterly at his arrest, expressing chagrin
at his apprehension in town the size
of Butte, when he, as he said, had trav-
eled the world over and evaded capture
in all the large cities. Grove has two
brothers in Montana, one living in Butte
and the other at Great Falls.
A friend of Grove clipped" the police
as to his presence in the city and his
arrest followed after photographs of the
fugitive had been secured from Omaha.

LINK LAKES AND OHIO
PlTTSBURG PARTY is TO SUR
vEY TWO ROUTES OFFERED.
Projected that Boats Shall Be Run
from Lake Erie Into Ohio River in
Summer of 19I1-WhoIesale Houses
Burn in Portland.

What may he called the first decisive
step toward connecting Lake Erie with
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys was
taken in Pittsburg Tuesday, when the
board of directors of the Lake Erie and
Ohio River Ship Canal Company met
with President John Z. Shaw, and it
7-as decided to devote two days soon to
going over the two routes offered from
Lake Erie. One route is from Ash
tabula, Ohio, to Pittsburg, and the 9TH
er from Erie to Pittsburg. Either route
is about 100 miles long, and it is esti-
mated that the cost would be about $780,
100000. President Shaw said it was
now figured that vessels would be run
from Lake Erie into the Ohio river at
Pittsburg in the summer of 1911.

THE WORLD WANTS TO LEARN.
But onT< 1000 of the 5000 Can Enter
the Cnrnei.ie Sc hnnIs

the Carnegie Schools.
Nine thousand applicants for about
1000 scholarships-this remarkable con-
dition marks the opening of the Carnegie
Technical Schools in Pittsburg. These
applications have come from all over
the world. Those from the United States
lead, numerically, with France, Ger
many and Russia following CLOSELY. Even
twenty Filipinos desire to take courses.
Every civilized country on the face of
the globe has its applicants. While at
the start only 1000 pupils can be accom-
modated at the schools, this number will
eventually reach 5000. All that is re-
quired of an applicant is that he or she
shall speak English, deposit a tuition fee
of $40 year and demonstrate desire TO
learn.
No limit has been set to the extent
of this latest benefaction of Andrew
Carnegie, which starts with an endov-
ment of S12,OOO,O00. And no matter
what a pupil desires to learn. he or she
will be taught that branch. If-no pro
lessor on the school roll is capable of
teaching desired study one will be
secured for the work, no matter at what
cost or whence secured. The scope of
the institute is to be absolutely without
limit and, even at the outset. the courses
shall embrace almost every known call
ing.
Rush for admission began almost as
soon as the nature and extent Of the steel
kings new educational enterprise were
announced. knowledge of the opportu
mites to be afforded seems TO have sped
around the earth. At any rate. appli-
cations for membership have poured in
from all quarters of the globe A num-
Der of the applicants overlooked the first
requisite-ability to read and write the
English language. Lack of this renui-
site is practically the only thing that can
bar out an applicant, as the insignificant
tuition fee of $50 a year is not ant TO
deter one who IS determined to secure a
technical education.
