TRAIN DlTCHED
Bandits Then Opened Fire on Passengers and Also HurI.
 cd Bombs
THEY WERE REFUSED

Tiflis, Transcaucasia, Dec 14.-A band of sixty robbers attacked and derailed the mall train running be- tween Tifiis and Baku last night, near the station of Salakhlu. The train was carrying large sum of money. The train guard repnlsed the bandits after a fight in which many passengers and soldiers were wounded. The bandits finally re- treated, leaving four dead behind them.
 The attack was daringly conceived and carried out. Thirty yards of track on a down grade had been torn up and the train, running at full speed, plunged it's way over the ties. Both locomotives and most of the cars were ditched. The robbers, who were inhiding nearby, immedi- ately came out and advanced on the train guard and passengers. They They threw eight gbombs and opened a heavy fire on the confused travel CTS. The train guard rallied quickly and returned this fire from behind the mass of wreckage. They held their ground tenaciously until the robbers were driven off, carrying their wounded.
 A hospital train has brought a number of the wounded passengers and guards into Tifis. Troops are in pursuit of tho robbers.

Suit To Recover on Note of S4.000
 By C. E, Hoadley.

Attorney '. G. Church, counsel for Charles E. Hoadley, does not believe the hearing of the suit of Charles H. French against Jacob Albert will de- velop any sensational matter. The case is down for hearing next week and it will be tried unless settled. A number of deeds and other documents are involved in the hearing and it is very likely that MT Hoadley will be called upon to explain certain signed releases in the town clerks office. The suit is to recover on a note for $4,- 900 which MT Hoadley gave to A. M. French to secure which MT Hoadley mortgaged two lots on Lincoln street to MT French. Samuel Root claims to have a mortgage on the property, Louis Raffel claims to be interested in it and s. L. Arthur claims to have an attachment on it. c. H. French is trustee of the note and as such brings the suit He asks strict foreclosure or a sale of the property It is quite probable that a settlement will be made

 ing Tuesday Night.

As a result of the arrest of one of the employees of the Connecticut Co for sprnkling salt on the tracks, public hearing will be held on Tues- day evening on the matter of sprink- ling salt on the car tracks of this city.
 Luigi Maduro was brought in this morning by Officer Mullings for throw- ing salt on the tracks in Exchange place, but he was later released by Superintendent Beach. .,
 After the arrest of Maduro, Super- intendent Wales of the trolley cams pany had a conference with Mayor Thoms and the latter gave the super intendent a permit which will allow the company to sprinkle salt on switches until Tuesday evening, when the matter will be definitely settled. It was after this conference that Mas duro was allowed to go by the super- intendent of, police.
 It is q violation of d city ordinance to sprinkle salt on the tracks or on the street or walk. but it has never been rigidly enforced.
 Mayor ThOms stated this afternoon that he gave Superintendent Wales a permit good until Tuesday night on which evening d public hearing would be held to decide the question.
