Sir Thomas Challenges the Fourth
Time for the Americas Cup.
London, Sept. 15.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will make another attempt in
1908 to regain the Americas cup for
Great Britain.
This announcement was made yes
terday afternoon by Sir Thomas in
London, and also by the secretary
Of the Royal Irish Yacht club at Dub
lin. The challenge, which goes to
the New York Yacht club in the name
Of the Royal Irish Yacht club, was
mailed from Dublin yesterday
Fife will be asked to design the
challenger if he is not already at work
on the model of Shamrock W., for
that is to be the new yachts name.
Sir Thomas is credited with saying
that if he does not win this time he
will believe it impossible to bring the
cup back.
Neither Sir Thomas nor his secre-
tary would diyulge the contents of the
challenge, saying that they thought
that in all courtesy to the New York
Yacht club the latter was entitled to
be first to know what it contained.
The latest challenger, like the three
previous Shamrocks, will have to be
sailed across tthe Atlantic, but it is
understood she will be built SO that
the handicap on this account will not
be SO great as in former years.
1t has been reported that Sir Thorn
as intends to send two yachts across
and after trying them over the Sandy
Hook course he will enter tie better
in the races for the Americas cup.
This, however, cannot be done without
the consent of the New York Yacht
club.

Northern Oriental Limited Train No.

ing for Seattle, was held up seven
miles west of Rexford, Mont, by two
bandits early yesterday morning, and
the mail car robbed of seven bags of
registered letters. Advices to this eff
feet were received yesterday at the
Great Northern general offics. The
details of the robbery are somewhat
meager, giving little information be-
yond the fact that two robbers held
up the train and that seven bags con.
tanning registered letters were taken.
Loot the Mail Car.
According to the reports received by
General Manager Ward the robbers,
who had been riding between the mail
car and the tender of the engine,
climbed over the tender at lonely
ford, Mont. They ordered the fireman
and engineer to leave the train and
then looted the mail car.
The fireman was sent back through
the train to tell the mail clerk and
express messenger to go into the pas
senger coaches. With the coast clear
the robbers entered the mail car,
keeping up continual fusillade to ter
rify the passengers and prevent any
interruption.
Crack Express Safe.
An extra express car was being
carried with the train and the robbers
entered it, first blowing the safe,
which contained nothing Of value.
The mail car was then visited the
mail bags gone over and seven bags
OF registered letters taken. The rob.
bers then escaped in the darkness.
Only meager description of the
bandits has been obtained Both we're
young, wore dark clothing, SLOUGH
hats and black masks. The Great
Northern Express company, whose
safe was blown by the robbers, says
that 1t suffered no loss.
Reward Is Offered.
A reward of $4,000 for the arrest
and conviction Of each Of the robbers
has been offered by the Great North.

was held up is particularly lonely
spot, and it is believed the robbers
knew it we'll.
AS soon as the news Of the robbery
was sent along the line posses were
in the neighborhood, and the noun.
tains and woods are now being scour.
ed by the posses in the search.
