TRAIN URECkERS
SHOOT MARSHAL
AFTER An ATTEMPT TO BURN
BRIDGE ON THE SOUTHERN
RAILROAD.
ONE MAN IS CAPTURED;
SEARCHING FOR OTHERS
Fire Is Discovered by a Telegraph
Operator and Extinguished-Wh
ReIighted He Wires for Help
Marshal Cummins Seriously Injured

Evansville, Ind, April 26-Several
attempts of train wreckers to set fire
to bridge on the Southern railroad
near Temple, Ind, were uncovered late
Wednesday night by the town marshal
Of English, Ind, who was shot twice by
two men believed to be the guilty
parties. Later information indicates
that there were four men in the gang.
The gang has been located in a wood
near English and posse has been
sent to endeavor to capture it.
About midnight the telegraph oper-
atOr at Temple saw a fire in the middle
Of the bridge near his station. Upon
investigation lie fuuir a bunch of
waste burning and extinguished it,
After he returned three freight trains
passed the station in the regular block
spacing. When they had gone he again
saw flames and, upon investigation,
found the bridge had been set on fire
the second time.
Marshal Is Shot Twice.
Immediately he notified the train dis
patcher at Princeton, Ind, who tele-
the bridge on train that was coming
in to that station and to pick up all
suspicious men along the track. After
leaving English the marshal came on
two men and halted them. He de-
manded of them that they give an ac-
count of themselves. One of the men
opened fire on the marshal, shooting
h in hi
the body. The posse of the marshal
succeeded in arresting one of the as
sailants, but the other got away.
1t is not known whether the mis-
creants attempted to wreck the train
for vengeance or for the purpose of
robbery. The section men on the
Southern road have been ordered to
patrol the tracks in this vicinity.
Superintendent Sheridan left Prince
ton, Ind, early Thursday and will take
charge of the search for the train
wreckers.
Feeling is very high at English over
the shooting and it is feared that the
arrested man will fare badly. He re-
fuses to talk
Posse Now Out.
Evansville, Ind, April ga posse
of men started out of Decker, Ind, at
ten o'clock Thursday morning with
blood hounds. The dogs took the trail
near the bridge, where the miscreants
started the fire, turning directly into
the woods at the side of the tracks.
The marshal, who was shot twice
Wednesday night, is not fatally wound
ed, it is said.

Peace REIGKS IN
Central America
NICARAGUA AND SALVADOR
AGREE UPON TERMS OF
TREATY.
THE DETAILS RECEIVED
BY STATE DEPARTMENT
Terms Are Honorable to Both Coun-
tries-Report of New Revolution
in Honduras in interest of Deposed
President.

Washington, April 2G.-DetaiIs of
the treaty of peace and amity be-
tween Nicaragua and Salvador which
was signed at Amalapa OIL Tuesday
last were received at the state de-
partment Thursday through a cable
gram from Philip Brown, charge of
the American legation at Guatemala
The treaty is similar to that entered
into a year ago and known as the
Marblehead pact, and it includes
provision for Central American peace
congress to be held in Nicaragua in
the near future, and a special com
mercial treaty between Nicaragua and
Salvador.
Peace Treaty Signed.
San Salvador, Republic of Salvador,
April ga treaty of peace between
Salvador and Nicaragua was signed
Tuesday night at Amapala by minis
terS representing each country. The
terms of the treaty are honorable to
both countries. The conditions pro
posed by Salvador were accepted, and
the demands made by President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua, for reparation for
Salvador's part in the recent war be-
tween Nicaragua and Honduras, and
that there be a free interchange of
commodities between Nicaragua and
Salvador, were rejected.
Another Bonilla Uprising.
Mobile, Ala, April 26.-According
to news received here Wednesday by
steamer another revolution is starting
in Honduras in favor of Manuel Bo-
nilla, and it has gained some headway
in the vicinity of Ell Pimiento and
Chaloma. The railroad bridge at
Chaloma has been tampered with and
everyone along the line of the road is
said to be ready to rise at a moments
notice.
There is enough dynamite and
bombs at the fort of La Guna (Puerto
Cortez) to blow up the whole place,
and the invaders from the interior
have only three small trails by which
they could enter the town. Cortez
can therefore be defended against a
much superior force. Guatemala, it
is reported, has a large force on the
border, about 40 miles from Puerto
Cortez, but they have made no move
yet.
Going Back to Resume Contest.
Coatzacoalcos, Mex, April 26.-For-
mer President Manuel Bonilla of Hon,
duras arrived here Tuesday night
direct from his own country, via
Salina Cruz. He states that he will
await here the arrival of a steamer

friend whom he refuses to name, and
that with this friend he will proceed
to Belize and from there back to his
own country to take UP arms.
