Investigation in Chicago Will
Be Thorough
MUCH EVIDENCE IS AVAILABLE
United States District Attorney Is
Confident of Securing the Con.
viction of Conspirators.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Fifteen iur-
ors were accepted today to investigate
the alleged beef trust in the federal
court. OF the 22 men summoned two
were excused because they owned
stock in railroads and five for other
reasons. The questions asked venire-
men were searching and indicated a
disposition on the part of the gov
ernment to carefully avoid possible
error. Other veniremen will be sum-
moned this afternoon and the panel
will probably be completed tomorrow,
when the hearing of evidence will be-
gin. Assistant Attorney General
Pagin declares the investigation will
be most rigid. He believes sufficient
evidence is already in possession Of
the federal authorities to indict the
principal members of the alleged
trust. The prosecution will be made
under the Sherman anti trust law, the
maximum penalty for the violation of
which is $4,000 fine.

well-known school teacher in and

Miss Holden's mind has become de-

she was compelled by i'll health to quit
teaching school and went from Illinois
to Lincoln to live with a brother. The
brother recently moved to Kansas, and
thereupon she came to Omaha in quest
of work. She hired out as a domestic,
but was unable to do her work, and

in which she was employed.
She has a brother at Warsaw, and

MESSENGER FOR STANDARD OIL
REFINERY AT OAKLAND
HELD UP.
He and a Companion in Buggy
Were Seized, Bound and Gagged
by Two Masked Men.

OAKLAND, Cal, March 2O.-At II
this morning John Daley, messenger
for the Standard Oil company at Point
Richmond while returning from the
Central bank at Oakland was held up
bv two masked men and robbed of
$4,000 in gold.
Daley, with F. K. Roche, was driving
in a buggy along lonely road which
runs a short distance from the rail-
road. Two masked men jumped out of
the brush, leveled revolvers at the oc-
cupants of the vehicle and ordered
them out. AS soon as the men
alighted they were bound and gagged
and thrown face downward on the
ground. The robbers then entered the
buggy and drove away with the
treasure. In about half an hour
workmen passing found Daley and
Roche, released them and took them
to Point Richmond in a car. The po-
lice in all nearby towns have been
notified and number Of posses are
securing Contra Costa county. The
money stolen was to have been used to

Letter to Abandon His Zeiqler Mine.

DURQUOIN, ILL.,, March 2O.-A re-
port based on seemingly reliable au-
thority was received here today to the
effect that Joe Letter will definitely
suspend operations at his Zeigler mine
this week. For some time it has been
generally understood that the results
obtained in the output of coal have
failed to meet the expectations of the
company. This is due no doubt to
the fact that nearly every foreign type
of labor for the most part unskilled,
is represented there and cannot work
to produce satisfactory output.

block were burned. The Churchill &
Alden Shoe factories on opposite sides
of Main street caught fire.

entire west half of the building was
razed to the ground. In the wreckage

logs at Ferguson's camp. The section
crew had proceeded leisurely along on
a down grade for about two miles
when one of the men happened to
glance backward. The sight that met
his eyes was enough to freeze the
blood in his veins.
Scarcely twenty feet behind the
hand-car three logging cars which had
gained headway of at least seventy
miles an hour were about to crash into
the section crew. One of the men with
a cry of: Jump for Gods sake"
leaped clear of the hand-car, and was
followed by one companion without a
seconds hesitation. Ryan alone, who
seemed transfxed, did not heed. per-
haps from fright, and in an instant
the logging train swept into the hand
car carrying it's human freight. Ryan
was knocked from the car as if shot
from a cannon and when the runa-
way had passed, his companions hur-
ried to his side. He was picked up un-
conscious and brought to the city.
At the point where the logging train
had broken loose, there is a steep
grade. For almost three miles the
runaway sped toward Maple Falls, be-
fore it crashed into the nand-car, and
in an uninterrupted path it bore on
ward until deraiied. When it broke
away a message was hurriedly sent
over the telephone to the next station,
to look out for the logging trucks in
their wild flight. There was no chance
to warn the section crew. A leaking
air valve is assigned as the reason for
the accident.
