Engineer Defies Pistol and
F0ils Robbers Plans.
RUNS PAST DANGER ZONE
Bandit Boards Train as Passenger, Goes
Ahead to Locomotive, Confronts En-
gineer With Two Revolvers
and Orders Him to Stop.

Tacoma, WASH, June PA daring
attempt at train robbery, the second
raid on the same train within eighteen
months, was made by a lone "road
agent" On the Great Northern road yes
terday three miles west of Puyalhup.
The attempt failed because the engineer,
defying the pistol pointed at him by the
robber, dashed past fire built by the
side of the track by the bandit con-
federates, at which he had been ordered
to stop. Half mile further on the
train was halted and the robber tried
in vain to back it up to the fire. Failing,
he fired at breakman and the engineer
and fed.
The train was the North Coast Limit
| ed, from st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Eighteen months ago it was held up
between Garrison and Missoula. A lone
bandit turned the trick in this case and
LIED, but was pursued and captured.
He was punished with long term in
the penitentiary.
Yesterdays bandit boarded the train
as d passenger at Payallup. He left
| the smoker and made his way to the en-
CINE cab, saying he wished to see the
engineer, who was friend. He closed
I the door Of the baggage car, adjusted
mask over his face and climbed over
the coal tender with revolver in each
hand
The engineer turned to see the muz-
zles of two pistols and heard the com
rnand that he stop at fire beside the
track short distance away. He didn't
start to close the throttle, however, UNI
It'll the robber had climbed down into
the cab and, placing the revolver at his
head, yelled: "Stop her Of I'll shoot!"
The order was obeyed as the train
flashed by the fire, but the momentum
was so great that the train did not
stop for half mile. When it did stop,
Breakman 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 train.
The bandit then ordered the engineer
and the conductor to get out of the way
twhile he made an attempt to back the
train to the fire, where his confederates
were stationed. He failed and called
for the engineer to come back.
The robber then began to realize his
position, and as the engineer stepped
| into the cab he fired twice, one bullet
flattening on the boiler head. The ban
dit then jumped to the ground and ran
| into the brush.

BIG INDIAN GRAB.
Chickasaw Warrant Steal Now Alleged
of Some 100000

Kansas City, Mo-, June 24.-A special
to the Journal from Muskogee, |. T.,
says:
1t is alleged that steal in connection
with the payment of Chickasaw war
rants has been discovered which will
outriyal the famous Creek warrant steal
and may involve 9 fugitive banker of
Tishomingo and ''men high up" The
amount cannot be determined at pres
emit, but it is between 100000 and $780,
900.
This sum represents Chickasaw school
warrants that were paid, and afterwards,
is is said, were relocated. One firm in
st. Louis, it is understood, has about
100000 worth Of these warrants, and
some of them are known to have come
through a combination of which Kirby
Purdom, the absconding banker OF Tish-
omingo, was said to be the leading
spirit. A large number of these war
rants are thought to be fraudulent.
The grand jury is making an investi-

Look to Your Food

TT is we'll known fact that nearly So
I'D per cent. of the people living in cities
are anamic. Their blood is pale and
weak. It is deficient in red blood corpusclcs.
This condition is due largely to wrong choice
and preparation of foods. The necessary
food elements are not supplied in correct
proportions. What is most generally lack
ing is iron, which is the only element known
to make the red of the blood-its vital
property. Apitezo supplies iron in abund-
ance, and of the right knd-organic plant
iron. the same as that found in vegetables
such as peas, beans and spinach-not the
metallic iron of tonics and tncturcs which
harms the teeth and upsets digestion. Api-
tezo is SO perfectly balanced in the necessary
food elements as to furnish complete in itself
what dictists call The adequate ration" Api-
tezo is wholesome, delicious and substantial
Il is the unequaled energy food for everybody,
every day, while it is actually needed by
those whose blood is "short on reds"
Apitezo is -eminently red blood builder

Mary Rogers Happy Over Present Turn
of Affairs.


Windsor, June 24.--In vivid contrast
to what had been appointed for her,
Mrs. Mary NJ. Rogers, who was to have
been hanged yesterday for the murder
of her husband, spent the hours in
mingling freely with the other women
prisoners in the institution where she
is confined. 1t was the first occasion
for several months that she was per-
mitted this freedom, for since the time
when her reprieves began she has bsen
living in solitary seclusion in a cell. NJ
Sheriff Henry H. Peck visited the
prison yesterday and read to Mrs. Rog-
ers the reprieve which had been signed
! by Governor Bell and which again post
poned her execution, this time until Dec
s. Mrs. Rogers listened to the reading
quietly and when it was finished sht
thanked the sheriff and gave expression
also to her gratitude for the kindnes:
shown her at the prison, and especially
for the untiring efforts of her counse
to save her life.

Chicago, H., June PA passenger
rate war, which will involve all the
eastern railroads, is imminent. To the
Michigan Central railroad the right to
make differential rates eastbound from
Chicago was granted recently by two
of the three members of the board of
arbitration. The third declined to grant
the request. G. F. Daley, passenger
traffic manager Of the Vanderbilt lines
west of Buffalo, states that the Michi-
gan Central will reduce its rates from
the standard to the differential basis in
a few days.
The Grand Trunk railroad refused to

Wheat Territory Spreading,

Ford county is now a wheat field
instead of COW pasture as it was but
few years ago." said H. H. Wood.
bury of Spearville,, Kas. recently.
Pastures are being plowed up right
along and wheat put in, and now
there are threeacre in wheat to every
one three years ago. The land owners
could not plow the land fast enough
with teams, so they are now investing
in steam gang plows, which do more
work than the teams could do. But
the wheat crops in that country have
made big money for the farmers, and
a great many land owners have paid
for their farms during the past two
years with the wheat they raised. The
farmers aregoing ahead at a fast rate,
and they arc acquiring more land and
paying for farms out of the crops
Mr.. Woodbury. has been a resident o
Ford country 10 years, and owns a
farm Of 1000 acres.
