BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN.
Rob Mail Car About Ten Miles East
of Spokane.

Two bandits held up the N. p. pas
senger train 10 miles east of Spokane
Friday night, and have not been cap
tured. The entire force of the sheriff's
office and railroad detectives are
securing the vicinity of the holdup,
trying to find information which might
lead to capture.
The robbery equalled in daring the
lone attempt by Roman at Naples,
Idaho, recently.
The holdups climbed into the cab
of the engine soon after the train
pulled out of Rathdrum and forced
Engineer Fred Whittelsey to keep
going at full speed. When near Moab
the train was stopped, and while one
holdup covered the fireman the other
took the engineer back and uncoupled
the mail car. The engineer did not
work fast enough and the robber fired
two shots into the ground to hurry
him.
The car was then taken past Trent
to a rockcut only nine miles from
Spokane, where stop was made and
the registered pouches rified.
The bandits took the keys and watch
from C. H. Raymond, mail clerk, and
ordered him to tell where the rest of
the registered matter was, but he
claimed there was no more.
The bandits then ran the engine
and car a short distance and left it,
From the point where they left the
train all trace of them has been lost
1t is believed by the postal authori-
ties that the loot taken would not
amount to $1,000. There were only
two or three packages in the Chicago
Spokane through pouch and about 1C
packages in the st. Paul-Seattle pouch
which is made up en- route
The presence of mind of Clerk Ray
mond saved local registry matter
which the clerks do not put in a pouch
but handle as they go along. When
the train was brought to the sudden
stop Raymond suspected something
was wrong, so he put this registry
matter in a paper sack and threw il
among a lot of others.
AS soon as the bandits were gone
the trainmen returned to the engine
and back to the balance of the train
In the meantime the Spokane office
had been notified from Trent and {
special car with detectives was SEN
to the scene.
The bandits are described as botf
young men of medium height. Boil
wore SLOUGH hats and old clothes. 1

HAINES KILLS ANNIS|
HORRIBLE CRIME Committed
In new YORK CITY.
Captain Pumps Five Bullets Into w.
e. Annis, a Rich Publisher, for Al
legged Running of His Home-Haines'
Brother Holds Back the Crowd
While Revenge Is Taken.

New Worthwhile his victim cow
cred in fear and his brother, with
drawn revolver, held off a throng of
wealthy yachtsmen, Captain Peter c.
Haines Jr. of the United States army
late Saturday afternoon pumped five
bullets into the body of William e.
Annis, rich New York publisher and
the alleged despoiler of Haines' wife,
on the float of the fashionable yacht
club at Bayside, Long Island.
IF any one interferes," said t. Jen-
kins Haines, the brother, who is a
notable author of sea stories, Il will
shoot him down where he stands. This
is matter between these two men. "
No sooner had the shooting occurred.
however, than a crowd of yachtsmen
made a move as if to attack, but the
sight of the two brothers, back to
back, their white, stern faces and the
CLINT of their pistols was enough. No
one came on.
Il am the man; l killed him." said
Captain Haines when the police ar
rived. He submitted quietly to arrest
and was, with his brother taken to
Flushing Jail, while Annis, apparently
at the point of death, was rushed in
an automobile to Flushing hospital.
Annis had two bullets in his stom-
ach, one in each arm and one in the
left leg. Annis died tonight.
AS soon as the brothers reached
Flushing jail Captain Haines wired his
father, Brigadier General Peter c.
Haines, U. S. A, at Fort Hancock
"Annis is shot. Come to Flushing
Jail"
The Haines brothers were cool and
composed on their way to the Flushing
Jail. Captain Haines said to the arrest
ing officers:
81 have merely done my duty. Any
married man would have done the
same under like circumstances"
One witness said: "Annis, who was
moaning family, stretched out on the
float, turned to Peter Haines and said
Captain, you have made a horrible
mistake Peter Haines hesitated {
minute and replied: L may have, bu
don't believe it, Annis then turned
to our Swede boatman and asked

SOL. KIMBALL ON THE GRIDDLE

It appears that there is another bomb.
shell following that which Mr.. Sol.
kimhall so proudly signed and circulst-
ed during the recent campaign in this
city and county. This second bombshell
has more explosive force TO it and it
carries more specific destruction than
did that of Mn Kimball.
In his campaign bonn bsheu, Mr.. Kim.
ball set forth two main propositions;
first, that some Gentle Understood to
be Mr.. Adame) told him of deep and
damnable plot by the American party
which was hatched some years before
the American party bad any existence e.
This plot aimed to rob the Mormons of
their property and drive them into exile.
The idea that Mr.. Adams could fore
see a plot Of this kind by party to be
organized some years after his death,
was one Of the remarkable pellets in
that bombshell, And another quite as
remarkable was the supposition that
this prophetic party was to commit rob
berries utterly repreheDsible, inexcusa-
Bile, and lawless, while the courts and
government were still in full operat ton,
thing to be wondered at.
Another Of Mr.. Kimbau s bombshells
was that he knew all about the author
ship of some letters printed in The
Tribune. being those OF a Mormon
bishop to his son, who was a missionary.
The Tribune has offered Mr.. Kimball
very substantial reward to come for
ward with any proof as to this portion
OF his bombshell We have offered also
a very substantial reward to the tith;no
fund or to any charity that President
Joseph T. Smith may name, if on q
straightforward, clear, investigation.
Mr.. Kimball is able to support by anv
real evidence his statements with re-
spect to these letters Although these
substantial and quite rich offers have
been out for quite a while, and although
we have offered the most liberal terms
rs to the body before which Mr.. Kim
ball should present his proofs, we have
not heard Of any willingness on his part
to come forward and earn the money
offered
Judge Powers now comes forward
with the succeeding bombsheil and at

THE BUILDING OF THE CAPITOL.

The report made by the land board
on the funds available from sales of
land grant, for building State cap
itol is not especially encouraging. To
say that the capitol building fund Hbas
a possibility from this source Of ap-
proximately 100000 within few
years" is to admit that something must
be relied upon aside from the capitol
building fund if we are TO have a State
House at all One hundred thousand
dollars would hardly make beginning.
It will not be worth while to begin
at all unless we can find some other
means to proceed with than this.
The Real Estate association Of this
city has the subject in hand and we
shall wait hopefully the plans Of that
association to bring into practical effect
the proposition to begin the erection
of suitable State capitol for Utah.
The ideas submitted by Mr. Morning
star short time ago on this question,
through The Tribune, were deserving
OF candid consideration. Whether we
may not anticipate to large extent the
capitol fund that is TO be derived from
the sale of selected lands, is something
for fair estimate in this consideration.
The amendment of the Constitution to
provide for the issue Of capitol bonds
would be rather slow proposition. But
anticipating that such a referendum
would have. favorable issue. we might
in the meantime proceed with the pre-
liminaries and the foundation, using
the capitol fund now available and with
such means as the Real Estate asso"
citation might be able to suggest, in the
preliminary steps for constructing q
State capitol.
1t is to be understood from the first
that no one is in favor Of the construc-
ton of building, unless that building
is to be adequate, and a structure that
we can point to with admiration and
pride. The site for the capitol build.
ing is magnificent. It will not do TO
put anything mean or shabby on that
site The capitol should correspond
with the admirableness of its situation
and with the magnifceuce of the view
Of valley, mountains, and lake which
it will command. A capitol that will
suffice for great many years to come
and one that will be an architectural
triumph, as well as a commodious, use
full, and well planned structure for the
public business to be conducted therein
Is what is desirable; and nothing else
will meet the views Of those who are
moving so strongly and with such good
hope towards the speedy construction
of fit and beautiful building for a
State capitol for Utah.

revelation Of Joseph Smith might as
well deny every other principle in con-
nection with the mission of the founder
OF Mormonism. The added fact that
the existence of new polygamy has
been officially confessed by the church,
and that there has been no at.
tempt to chastise the offenders, is evil
dence that there is no real intention TO
abandon the evil. Especially does this
conviction appear with great force
whom it is considered that not only has
there been no effort To punish new po-
lygamists, but that the church has used
every facility in its possession to Pro-
tect the criminals from the law and to
shield them from action in the ecclesi-
astical courts.
The fact is. the Mormon hierarchs
thoroughly believe in the practices of
modern Orientalism and ancient bar
barism, in which the chief euioyments
are the possession Of many wives and
concubipes and numerous slaves to wait
upon these multiple households.
