Northern Pacific's North Coast
Limited the Object Of the
Robbers Intentions
TRAIN MEN WERE UNDER FIRE
Engineer Failed to Stop at Point
Where Ordered and Lone Robber
Found Himself Separated From His
confederates-Makes His Escape
After Shooting at Engineer.

Tacoma Wash, June 23.--An at
tempt was made to hold up the North
Coast Limited on the Northern Pacific
In the outskirts of Tacoma early to-
day. The robbers plans were frus-
trated by the tranmen. They got
nothing and escaped.
A man boarded the train at Puyallup
and when the train was three miles
from the station ordered the engineer
to stop the train at a fire which was
burning near the tracks. Engineer
Woods did not stop until half mile
beyond the fire. Brakeman Harkins
ran up to the engine to see what the
trouble was and the bandit shot at
him. Harkins threw his lantern into
the ditch and started back for the
coaches. The bandit then ordered the
engineer and conductor to get out Of
the way while he made an attempt to
back the train to the fire where his
confederates were stationed. He fall
ed to get the engine started and called
for the engineer to come back. The
robber then began to realize his po-
sition and : as the engineer stepped
into the cab the bandit fired twice,
Jumped to the ground and ran into
ambush.

CAN'T STOP WEEPING.
A Sioux City Woman Who Has Cried
for Four Days Without ceasing.


Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, June 2S.-For four nights
without ceasing. Mrs. Kate Wilburn,
who makes her home with Mr.. and
Mrs Peter Hopner, 321 South How
ard street, has wept Unable to cease
crying she appeared at police head
quarters this morning and begged Ma
tron Thurston to arrange for her in
carceratiom at the Cherokee hospital
for the insane.
The woman sobbed constantly and
tears coursed down her furrowed
cheeks as she pleaded with the matron
to give her a ticket to Cherokee.
Pm going crazy she explained, Il
know that I'll be so mad that I'll never
recover if something isn't done at
once. Help, help, help. Do something
for me-"
The woman is in pitiable condition
and the efforts of physicians to stop
her hysteria have proved u1availing.
Matron Thurston took the woman to
the Cherokee asylum about year ago.
1t is said she was in an asylum once
before, but recovered within a short
time She returned here about eight
months ago and until recently she has
shown no signs of dementia.
Even now she appears perfectly RAJ
tional, except that she is unable to
cease crying. She was sent home in
charge of Mr.. Hopner and the case re-
ported to the board of insanity COM
missioners, which will consider the
matter probably tomorrow

B.dse. For clersymen Advoo.ted.

badges For Clergymen Advocated.
Not infrequently we read Of an acci-
dent or calamity Of some kind in a
great city, where Roman Catholic
priest appears on the scene and adj
ministers comfort to the stricken or
dying. It is seldom that we read of a
Protestant minister in similar circum-
stances, says the Church Economist.
A priest will be easily recognized and
readily admitted to an injured man.
A minister is not SO easily recognized.
Some may wear q cut of clothing that
will confirm their claims to be clergy
men, but others do not. Why should
not Protestant ministers who wish to
improve every opportunity for doing
good supply themselves with badges,
which they can always wear, though
concealed, but which they can display
when the emergency arises, thus Sc
curing access to the center of a crowd
where lies a PROSTATE man, or to a
burning building where the average
man is debarred? There would need to
be nothing on the badge except the
words, Clergyman, New York"

CLOSE TO SECOND WRECK.
Twentieth Century Limited West
Bound, Escapes BY a Hair.


Laporte Ind. June 23.-The west
bound Twentieth Century Limited yes
terday morning narrowly escaped a
disaster similar to the one which de-
stroyed the eastbound limited at Mem
tor o. Wednesday evening.
AS the west bound train came liz
sight at this point f. II. Kirkwood, a
switchman, glancing down the track
toward the oncoming flyer, saw that
switch from the main line was open.
Kirkwood raced for the switch anu
closed it. A fraction of a minute lat
er the limited sped by in safety at a
fifty mile an hour speed.
The limited was a minute or two
late. This fact alone saved it from a.
fearful disaster for the switch closed
by Kirkwood in the nick of time led u
a siding occupied by string of heav-
lily loaded freight cars.
No one knows who is responsible for
the open switch and the Lake Shore
officials have ordered searching in
vestigation.
The fact that the west bound Twen-
tieth Century Limited narrowly es-
caped a wreck under circumstances
which duplicate the causes of the
wreck at Mentor lead some to believe
that a deliberate attempt was made to
wreck both trains.
This theory is supported some think
by the similarity of the circumstances.
Railroad men here, however, scout the
conspiracy talk. They accept the
theory that some switchman or section
hand carelessly left the switch open.
A freight train, it is recalled, had
been, sidetracked short time before
the limited was due, in order to give
the fast train clear track.

tary of the state fair that never in the
history of the state was as much
money put into the fair and the at
fractions as this year. Where last year
there were two attractions before the
an,phitheatre during the races there
are this year four. In addition there
are four new racing attractions this
year with extra large purses besides
the ladies' relay race, which makes the
races better than ever before. Then
In the cattle, horses, hogs and sheep
the premiums are this year larger
than ever before and there are two
more premiums and some entirely new.
In addition to this there are two out
side bands, one with a national repu-
tation to give concerts on the grounds
and the effort has been made to make
the pay admission shows on the
grounds better in quality than hereto
fore. Consequently there is hardly a
feature of the fair but the effort has
been made to better 1t in some way
and the directors will be disappointed
if the attendance is not larger in pro-
portion.
b. Cummins will call meeting of the
child labor committee for one week
from next Saturday. Mrs. Cummins,
according to the intentions of Mr.. Lind
say, was to act as chairman of the
committee until it had been called to-
gether and organized because of the
fact that she received the highest
number of votes as a member of the
executive committee. A letter
which was sent to all the men-
bers of the committee was addressed
to Mrs. Cummins, carbon copies being
sent to the other members of the COM
mittee. The letter asked her to act as
chairman to call the committee to-
gether. but it seems that Mrs. Cum
Minis did not receive this letter, but
only the mere notification that she had
been elected. On learning yesterday
that she was to act as chairman she
stated that she would take the matter
up at once. Professor Loos Of Iowa
City, is member Of the committee
and it is most convenient for him to
meet on Saturday. 1t was considered
too late to call the meeting for this
Saturday so it will likely be one week
later. This committee is to formu-
late the plans for the campaign of
legislation next year ito secure a child
labor bill and 1t is considered import
ant that the committee begin the work
Of preparing for the campaign soon.

Professor Accuses Cornelius Daily Of
Practice Forbidden in University.
New Haven, Conn, June % An of
fetal report has been made to the Yale
faculty by Professor II. NJ. Farr that
Cornelius Edward DAILY, one OF the:
best oarsmen in the varsity eight, had
been caught cribbing in his examina-
tions in his studies at the Yale crew
quarters, Gales Ferry, last week. DR..
Farr has been asked to appear before
the faculty at meeting which will
be held tomorrow and to present his
evidence.
Daly's scholarship record was clean
when the marks were made up last
in April and he had no conditions in
his studies. He had no reason, at
least no incentive, for cribbing as far
as inability to pass his examinations
was concerned.

SENATOR ON TRIAL
Mitchell of Oregon, Passing Thru the
Greatest Ordeal Of His Life-lncrim-
mating Evidence Given by His 6usi-
ness Partner In Trial for Land
Frauds.

Frauds.
Portland, Ore, June 23.-On the day
that marked the sevenueth milestone
of his journey thru life, his face
blanched until the blue veins stood out
across his temple, with beads of per-
spiration glistening on his forehead,
with hands clasping and unclasping
along the side of the table at which he
sat, John H., Mitchell, senior United
States senator from Oregon, listened
to the testimony Of Judge Tanner, his
life long friend and law partner.
judge Tanner was not less white or
less agttated, and thruout his testi-
mony his words came hesitatingly and
falteringly, and so low that the tick
ing of the court room clock was aud
ible thruout the hour or more that 1t
took to give his testimony.
When court adjourned for the day
Judge Tanner was stin on the stand.
During the examination District
Attorney Heney questioned, Judge
Tanner as to his trip to see Senator
Mitchell in December last.
Judge Tanner told of having receiv-
ed a telegram from the senator ask
ing him to come as far as Kalama,
Wash, to meet him. The judge had
taken the trip, and had met the sena-
tor on the train with Binger Hermann
and Frank C. Baker, chairman of the
republican state central committee
The senator, he said, was eager in re-
gard to the land frauds.
Mr. Mitchell expressed, said the wit
ness, deep concern about the entries
and transactions the firm had had with
Kribs and wanted to see the books.
The following day, Judge Tanner testi-
fled, the senator went to the office,
and in company with him (Tanner).
looked over the books, page by page.
According to the testimony OF the
Judge, Mitchell expressed surprise at
the way the entries had been made and
demanded that the old books be de-
stroyed, saying the entries in regard to
the Kribs transactions would not only
indite, but would convict him if they
fell into the hands of the government.
Judge Tanner testified that he told
the senator that tho it would necessi-
tate irregularity and that he had new
er done such thing in his life, he
would stand by his partner and do
what he could to help him. He had
agreed to destroy the books if neces-
sary and had' called the senator's at
tention to the clause in the partner
chin apreement byf which the senator
was to receive all the fees for work
done before the departments. He had
changed them and the new agreement
had been dated to March, 1901, the
same as the original, and had been
signed by both. The subsequent let
tiers passing between the two men were
also entered into evidence as tending
to show the knowledge of the defend
ant that he had been violating the
