FIGHTS
Q TRAIN BANDITS
Northern Pacific Man Goes to the
Rescue Of His Pas
81 sengers. il

Special to The Journal. o.
Duluth, Aug. "a. H. O'Brien of
Duluth, Northern Pacific conductor,
Tuesday night single handed fought
two thugs on his train and prevented
wholesale holdup. His exciting ex-
perience occurred on the train out of
this city for Brainerd and Staples.
When the train had left Carlton on
the way west, two desperate toughs
undertook to hold up car filled with
sixty-fve laborers, bound for Perham
to do railroad work. Conductor 'Brien
risked his life to prevent the holdup,
some punishment. One of the holdup
men was arrested at Brainerd and the
other escaped by jumping thru win
dow. .~ =
Soon after the train had pulled out
Of Carlton passenger brought word
to the conductor that man was hold
ing up the carload Of laborers at the
FASTENED into the car and, finding
man with a pistol in one hand search
ing the pockets of a frightened Ia
borer with the other, interfered ana
took the gun away from the man.
o 'Brien was taken off his guard, how
ever, in supposing that there was but
one holdup man.
He had just thrust the late pos
SCISSOR of the gun into a seat when he
was dealt a heavy blow on the back
of the head. A second armed holdup
man had struck him.
O'Brien was knocked to the floor,
but came up prepared to fight to a
finish. He overpowered the man and
took the gun away from him, but in
50 doing he dropped the gun that he
had taken and it was picked up by
the first holdup man.
It looked bad for the conductor at
that moment, but passengers had by
this time mustered courage enough to
| assist the railroad man who was put
ting up such desperate fight against
| the crooks. These men wrested from
the thugs the weapon O'Brien had
dropped and both of the toughs were
| disarmed.
At McGregor Conductor O'Brien
wired to Brainerd for officers to meet
the train and arrest the toughs. One
was arrested and the other escaped thru
car window.
The one who escaped was large,
powerful fellow and the other small
man. They are believed to, have been
the same men who attempted to hold
up saloon in Duluth last night.

Beginning with Mr.. Bradley's s

hold to the same belief although
the MADAM IS ALL that her

The meeting of the State
Teachers Association has been
pronounced as the most pleasant
since its organization and If the
evidence of the spectators pres
ent on this occasion could be
taken the fact could be easily
proved.
Mr.. Bradley's organ recital
was attended by an immense au-

gotiations tentatively entered
upon some time ago may be said,
on authority, to have now been
concluded.
The Frisco system secures over
200 miles-ofIine between Albany,
on the north, and Laurel on the
south, and will now have to build
about 115 miles of road south
west from Laurel into New Or
leans, or establish a joint track
service with the New Orleans
and Northeastern road. 1t may
stated in passing that Frisco
freight trains have been entering
New Orleans from by way on Tu-
pelo, Meridian and Laurel for
over year.
The new route will shorten the
destance very much, and it is !
certain that passenger service
from Memphis to New Orleans /
over the Frisco by way of Albany |
and Laurel is in the not far dis
tant future.
The Frisco has been planning
a road from Memphis to New Or
leans for several years and the
company has spent over 1000
within the space of two years

IF the proposed road, which was
planned to parallel the Missouri
Pacific line along the same route,
unning within twenty five miles

way. In fact, the Missouri Pa
ific has profited by the Frisco's
york, and is now using some OF

The Commercial Appes

The Commercial Appeal o
Tuesday Gays:
The report lately circulated
that the Frisco has purchased
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City road was not unexpected !;
in fact, it was stated in the coll
umns of The Commercial Appeal
over month ago that the deal
was on. This has later been con-
lrmed through certain changes
in the plans ofthe Frisco relative
to the entry of that road into
New Orleans from the West.
Since the Frisco was dealt q
body blow by the New Orleans
city council in their refusal to
grant right of way to the propos-
ed Canal street depot the Frisco
has changed its plans materially,
but still determined' to establish

road has been compelled to seek |
entry into the city in a direction
contrary to that first planned.
1t may be stated that the. con-
cession might have been secured
from the New Orleans city coun-
oil in the first place had not those
wise city fathers been aroused to
a realization of the value of rail-
road terminal franchises in all
the gulf ports on the eve of the
building of the Panama canal.
However distantin the future the
completion of that stupendous
work may be, it is certain that
the great railroad systems of the
South and West are losing no
time in securing gulf terminals,
no matter what the cost.
Hence the move of the Frisco
at New Orleans. Baked in the
attempt to enter the city from the
west the officials of the road have
.urned their attention to the east. c
