BANDITS TRIckEo BY CLERKS.

and Are Poorly Paid for Trouble.

Spokane.-One of the most daring
hold-ups ever attempted on trans

Its OF Spokane after midnight Satur-

mail car, next to the engine, was de.
tached and one of the highwaymen,
taking charge of the engine, the par

trainmen were dismissed by the rob-

The baggage car and the express

passengers was molested.
Tricked by the quick wit Of mail
clerks, little plumber is believed to

Taft, Montana.
One Grocery Store and Saloon Lief,
Standing When the conflagration
Was Gotten Under Control
Rebuilding Operations
Start at Once.

Mlssoula, Mont.-The entire town
OF Taft. with the exception OF the
postonice, one grocery store and a
saloon, was destroyed by fire Thurs
day morning.
The warehouses of the construc-
ton companies which are located on
the opposite side of the railroad
tracks escaped. The loss is estimat
ed at between 100000 and $4,000,
with little insurance. A message
from Mayor Dennison OF Taft is to
the effect that the fire loss will Ak
coed $4,000. A total OF fifteen bdsi-
ness buildings and saloons were de-
stroyed and nothing Of the contents
was saved. Rebuilding operations
have already started. 1t is learned
that the fire was not the result OF
q forest blaze. The origin OF the con.
fiagration is somewhat OF mystery
and the officials Of the town are now
attempting to discover who was re-
Bponsible. 1t is thought that an
overturned lamp In the Anheuser
building next to the postoffice caused
the disastrous fire.

defy the world, refuses to grant pro-

NO OCCASION TO FEAR
INVASION FROM ABROAD
Churches and Schools Are the Only
Army and Navy We Need, Says
Senator knute Nelson.

Chicago.-The churches and tho
schools OF the United States were held
up as "the only army and navy that
can protect us in the future" by
Knute Nelson OF Minnesota on Fri.
day night.
He delivered an address at the
rally that marked the close of the
eighth convention OF the Luther
League of America at the Auditor
ium. Fully 1900 persons we're pres
ent.
Severed by two vast oceans from
the other great powers OF the world"
he said, with our hundred millions
OF people and our almost limitless
resources, we have no occasion to
fear any attack or invasion from
abroad. The enemy that will attack
us, and the danger that will threaten
us, against which we must constantly
be on our guard. will come from
within; viii come when we are I'M
true and unfaithful to our great trust
and duty; will come when we cease
10 pass good laws and when we cease
to enforce the laws without fear or
favor against the rich and poor, the
high and the low; will come when we
grant immunity to transgressors and
law violators; will come when we al
low the mammon of pelf and upright
eousness to rule and dominate; will
come when we stife or permit to be
stifled the conscience of the masses
of the nation.
Against this enemy and this dan.
ger the only standing army and the
only navy that can protect us and
guide us in the future, as in the past,
are our schools and our churches.
These, rather than brute force, will
be our solace, our hope, and our sal
yation."

NAVY COSTS VAST SUM.
England May Borrow $5oo,ooo,ooo to
Build More Ships.

London-The British government,
according to the Daily Telegraph,
oontemplates raising large loan in
,iew of the growing naval competi-
ton abroad It is stated that imam.
clers of the highest standing have
undertaken to find $500, 100000 on
nominal terms to meet the necessi-
ties of the fleet for the next few
years without disorganizing the an
nual budgets or casting heavy bur-
cen upon the present generation.
If such plan is attempted it will
be because it is impossible to fore
cast the future requirements of the
navy until foreign shipbuilding pro-
grammes have crystalized, and the
setting aside of this fund would be a
declaration translated into terms OF
cash, of the country's intention to
maintain a twopower standard at all
costs
