BY TWO MASKED HIGHWAYMEN
After Brief Encounter They De-
tached the Engine and
Mail Car. i
Boarded Train at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
or Booty Obtained Unknown
No One Was Injured.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 15.-One of the
most daring hold-ups ever attempted
on transcontinental train befell
Norther Pacific No. 3 almost within the
city limits OF Spokane after midnight
last night. Two masked highwayrien
stopped the train at Otis and boarded
the engine. After brief encounter
with the engineer and fireman, the mail
car, next to the engine, was detached
ana one of the highwaymen, taking
charge of the engine. the party came
on west to Trent, where the trainmen
were dismissed by the robbers. The
bandits then proceeded to within "a
mile of Yardley. where they proceeded
to rob the mail car.
The baggage car and the express car
were untouched and none Of the pas
sengers We're molested.
As soon as word was received in
Spokane a special train was made UP
consisting of switch engine, and
coach with several deputy sheriffs and
special agents of the Northern Pacific,
was rushed to the scene.
Shortly afterward a complete posse,
headed by Sheriff Doak, who had not
been notified in time to catch the first
special started out to scour the country.
IL is not yet known how much booty
they obtained.
Tricked by the quick wit of mail
clerks, little plumber is believed to have
been captured by the two masked men.
Warned that the robbers were coming,
the clerks took advantage of the time
after the train had been cut in two
and threw the local registered pack
ages into newspaper sack where they
were not noticed, So far as reported
the only booty stolen was the pouch of
registered mail sent from Chicago to
Spokane and one for Seattle made up
along the road Neither is known 10
nave carried any packages of great
value.
one suspect has been captured, hav-
ing been found on top of the train after
the robbery He gives the name of
Frank Snyder and may prove to be
a plain tramp who was simply steal
ing ride.
REPORT TO OFFICIALS.
ST. Paul, Aug. 15.--Only a brief re-
port was received at the office of Sec
ond Vice President Levy of the North
ern Pacific today concerning the hold
up of the westbound Northern Pacinc
passenger train east OF Spohahe' AT
1910 last night.
The report says that the robbers
boarded the train at Rathdrum and
hid themselves about the engine. AFTER
the train had gone short distance.
the engine crew discovered the men
and attempted to put them of. The
bandits covered the crew with guns
and forced them to disconnect the
engine and mail car from the rest OF
the train The enginemen were then
compelled to run the engine and mail
car n safe distance away from the
train. After this had been accomp-
lished the bandits proceeded to rob
the mail car The report does not
say how much booty the robbers Sc
cured.
No one was injured.

to tempt hungry dog.
Noticeable among the throng that
consumed what everybody declared
was the finest barbecue beef they ever
tasted were many Glenwood Springs
business men who with commendable
public spirit closed their stores from
noon until 'clock this afternoon in
order to let themselves and their clerks
enjoy a little of the fair. Tomorrow
afternon when the fun will reach its
height many, it is expected, will close
again for few hours.
The barbecue was a fine beginning
for the two days Of fun and when the
racing began about three O'Clock this
afternoon there was crowd Of more
than a thousand present. The Grand
Valley band reached the fair grounds
little before after playing down town
and their presence added much to the
pleasure Of the crowds. The band will
play tomorrow also when big delega-
tions from surrounding towns are ex-
peeted.
Not all the exhibits were in place
this noon but the display was such a.
to excite much comment. Some Of the
fruit is the finest ever exhibited here,

msnts are full Of Ane display.

According to Norris they both got

J. c. Gum, a farmer, who saw the

Bucc1 GOT HIS TINE AT PUEBLO
From Wednesdays Daily Post.

CTOH W V00neDuAy . OAhy Vos'
One Of the boldest criminals that
ever evaded arrest, according to infor-
nation received from Pueblo. is Domi-
nico Bueci, the Italian track walker
who is being sought by the authorities
for the murder Of Sam Henshey at
Spruce creek last Saturday morning.
Bucci, it has been learned, walked
into the paymaster's Office at Pueblo
and secured the wages due him from
tho Rio Grande. Two kilograms had
been sent there giving instructions that
he be taken into custody if he appear
ed, but they evidently miscarried or
had not arrived when Bucci walked in
to the Office early Monday morning.
The paymsster who had heard OF the
killing which was in first reports at.
tributed to Pat Devergentes, the Sec
tion foreman, asked Bueei what they
had done with Devergentes in conec-
tion with the killing, to which Bueci
who was as cool a. = cucumber re-
piled that he didn't know-it must
have happened after he left there.
As it was not known that Bucci was
wanted for the crime NO attempt was
made to detain him and II is feared he
has put . long distance between him
and the scene Of his crime Of wantonly
killing hungry man who took crust
Of bread.
H. X. Henshey, Of Trenton, No., faith
or Of tho unfortunate young man, ar
rived here this afternoon and will make
arrangensnts for the disposition ef the

Candidate For President Saw
That the Way Never to Get Tariff
Revision is to Elect Bryan
LIQUOR QUESTION IS NATIONAL

Mr.. Chain address was punctuated
with witty remarks which always drew
forth laughter and applause as when he
said he had always been a woman suf-
ffagist--that he had six sisters and q
mother, all women.
A Party Question.
| Working toward the climax of his
speech Mr.. Chain stated emphatieally
that prohibition is a national party
question and asserted that II every
Democrat and Republican prohibition
ist would vote for prohibition he would
get every electoral vote in the nation.
Indeed, he said humorously, the cleo.
tion is all over now, but the voting.
"Think- of Bryan holding up his plat
form and saying thstl" he cried and
then turned y Taft who, he said, is
getting black: Ia the fase fearing be
will not get = sslsgsa ,spts, i.
speakia nscre sesieas saff. reasans'
said that in no election in the past SO
years had the result been so uncertain
az now, or 80 many men undecided as
to how they are going to vote. Telling
of farmer who said he would like to
vote for him but did not want to throw
his vote away the speaker said that
the Democrats and Republicans vote
for what they don't want and get it
and the Prohibitionist votes for what
he wants and doesn't get it.
Only One Remedy.
Concluding he quoted statistics re
garding crimes due to liquor and re-
garding the white slave traffic and
said that vote for anything but pro-
hibition is vote for the continuance
of these evils.
After few remarks by one of the
members of the Prohibition state com
mittee the meeting adjourned and the
party Immediately left for the eastern
part of the state. Mr.. Chain impressed
all as an effective speaker and as hav-
ing sense Of humor that Bryan's
faith in the possibilities Of his own
election shows his Democratic rival to
sadly lack.

Desire to obtain money in way that
involved NO particular amount of lsber
has resulted in the arrest Of Lee Sinels,
q well known young man of Rifle, on
charge which If proven can send him
to the penitentiary.
About q week ago sinele presented
two checks at the Citizens National
bank. one for t25 drawn on that bank
and another for s2l drawn on the First
National, both bearing supposedly the
signature Of his father, Peter 8. Sinele,
. prominent and respected resident Of
Rife.
1t was discovered the next day when
the checks were sent to Rife that the
signatures were forged and still hunt
was begun for the young man who had
in the meantime disappeared. E. E.
Drach swore to q complaint before
Judge Hedden charging the young man
with forgery and officers in neighbor-
ing towns were instructed to be on the
lookout for him.
No trace of the youth was obtained
until yesterday when he appeared IN
ADeBeque having evidently kept away
during the intervening time from any
lowns along the railroads. He was I'M
msdiately taken into custody and Tn
dervheri6 Cardnell went to DeBeque
and brought him in last night. sineie
took his arrest eoolly and said he
thought the thing could be fixed up.
He is being held in the county jail
