ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
Bomb No. % Destroys a One story
Building in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Bomb No. %
was exploded early today. after the
policemen placed on watch in all
parts of Chicago, since the renewal
of the bomb outrages. had gone home
1t did more damage than any of its
predecessors, practically destroying
one-story brick building in Four
avenue, occupied by Bernard Marcus,
as a saloon.
Firemen who were asleep in their
quarters across the street. were
thrown from their beds by the explo-
sion, which tore out most of the front
and completely wrecked the interior
of the building.
Patients in st. Luke's hospital were
aroused and a slight panic prevailed
for that building was shaken from
basement to roof and only prompt
work by the nurses prevented disor-
der.
Marcus. the saloonkeeper. told the
police he was at a loss to explain why
the bomb had been placed on his
premises. He declared he had built
the place only a month ago.
A man who refused to give his
name to the police was arrested near
the scene of the explosion. He said
he was at Sixteenth street and In
diana avenue when he heard the ex-
plosion, and ran to learn it's cause
He said he saw a man running away,
but when the police began question
ing him he became confused and
would not answer. He then was ar
rested.

DELL TRAVIS is BUSY NOW.
Has just Left 10000 Fish in Streams
Along Central Branch.

Dell Travis, state fish warden. came
in from the Central Branch line of the
Missouri Pacific today, and with his

streams along the Central Branch"
said Mr.. Travis. 81 stocked a great
many streams, but especially the
north fork of the Solomon. Black
bass and croppie were the fish dis
tributed.
'As soon as I can stock the car
again, I will go down into the south
eastern part of the state, and travel
across from Pittsburg on the Frisco.
Il am now sending out pheasants to
the county clerks of the slate to be
placed in their respective counties II
am planning to put ten pheasants into
every county, except some of the ex-
IRENE western counties where there
is no show for pheasants to live. These
pheasants which 1 am distributing
come from Illinois where they are
raised for distribution. The pheasants
which we have already placed in the
state are doing splendidly. They are
multiplying rapidly, and the state will
soon be well stocked with them.
81 don't know how much the state
will get out of its hunting licenses this
year, but / anticipate that 1t will be
about $4,000. This is about the same
amount that was realized last year.

Mr.. Albright is probably the only
man in the state house who enjoys the
distinction of having been appointed
by three different governors of the
state. Albright was appointed first by
w. E. Stanley to a position as bank
examiner, and later, when Bank Com
missioner Mort Albaugh resigned to
become clerk of the United States
court, Governor Bailey appointed Capt.
Albright to fill out the unexpired term.
Mr.. Albright served five months as
bank commissioner during the last of
Bailey's administration and the first
part of Hoch's term. When Governor
Hoch appointed John Q. Royce as state
bank commissioner he gave Capt. AL
bright the place of assistant, and now,
on Mr.. Royce's resignation, has again
promoted him to be head of the de-
partment.

GOT THE ROBBERS.
Trio Arrested and Confession Is
Secured.

Kansas City, Oct. 24-The career of
the three men who held up the crew
on the st. Louis & San Francisco
train. out of Olathe, Kan, Thursday
evening just as it was entering Rose
dale, was short. At 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon the two middle-aged
ones and the one young one were
facing each other through the bars of
separate cells in the Wyandotte county
Jail in Kansas City, Kan. The names
Murray and Roy SIak. The stolen
property was found on them. -. -
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing three men corresponding to the
description of the three train robbers
given by Conductor E. c. Butcher,
ant Hill, Mo. They were arrested by
Constables B. d. Stephens and Charles
8. Bailey.
At the Jail the two men and the boy
were searched. Two revolvers, two
gold watches, a razor, two pocket
knives and few cents of change,
constituted the collection taken from
them.
In the jailers office, where the
searching took place. an odd thing
occurred. Conductor Butcher had
just been called over the long dis
lance telephone at Kansas city and
was giving the constable the story of
the holdup. AS he spoke Bailey
who was receiving the message
passed it along whenever he got a
chance, to others near him. The
prisoners were intently listening to
every detail.
HE says called out Bailey, that
after the men left the car he slipped
both his hands free from the cords"
That's a lie! No man could have
slid his hands out of those things the
way they were tied!" came in a shout
from Murray, the largest of the
bandits. Then he collapsed in his
chair and would talk no more.
At noon yesterday Sheriff ]. E. Por-
ter and Conductor Butcher arrived
at Pleasant Hill. The latter identified
the prisoners. especially Murray, who,
he said, trussed him in the car. The
watches, knives. etc, were likewise
identified as belonging to the conduc-
tor and brakeman.
mot much money in their haul"
Butcher said last night. Probably
they got as much as $3.50. One of the
things found in their possession 1 can
positively identify, although it did not
belong to anyone but the bandit. That
is the big revolver that covered me.
ST remember one of the things that
puzzled me at the time of the hold
up was how the deuce two men and a
boy could manage to get that article
through our narrow door"
