Putting off the mail clerk, they pro-
ceeded east short distance, when they
jumped from the engine while the short
train was in motion and made their es-
cape. The engine and cars went on for
about mile and half, when they
struck grade and stopped.
No dynamite was used and no shots
were flei, but about thirty sticks of dy-
Mantle were found in the mail car later.
Conductor Willerton was in the dining
car when the train stopped, and states
that hardly minute elapsed after they
came to standstill until the train had
been uncoupled and the engine and two
cars were moving away.
1t is not likely that the robbers made
\ very rich haul, as they missed the cx-
press car, which contained the safe, and
which was probably what they were
after.

Hillyard.
The engineer and fireman were COM
PEELED to dismount from their engine and

ter the holdup offering the above sum as
reward for the robbers.
Conductor Willerton states that the
robbery was committed by two men, the
proverbial long and short men, who
boarded the train at Hillyard, conceal
ing themselves until the train had pulled
out, when they climbed over the tender
and covered the engineer and fireman
with their guns.
A mile and half east of Hillyard the
engineer was ordered to stop the train,
when one of the men got down and
quickly uncoupled the two front cars.
Then the fireman was put off and the en-
gineer was compelled to run the engine
and the two cars about mile further,
when he was ordered from the engine
and the holdups took charge of it. They
went on east another mile, where they
opened the mail car and took five

BREAKS WINDOWS

A Swede lumberjack raised quite a
disturbance ON Central avenue early
Monday morning, while drunk. He
went into the Milwaukee restaurant and
ordered meal, for which he refused to
pay. The Japanese proprietors promptly
stood him on his head and compelled
payment.
To get even with the restaurant men
for this treatment, the lumberjack went
outside and got four empty beer bottles,
and proceeded to smash in the windows
of the restaurant, after which he made
tracks out Of town with such haste that
nothing has since been seen of him.

Kelley vs.. Hills.

Have you noticed how stoop-
shouldered Agent Hills is getting lately?''
asked Denny Kelley recently of Pilot
representative.
"You see" continued Mr.. Kelley, it S
like this: When the box car which Mr..
Hills uses for an Office was fitted up for
him, it was the intention to have it set
on end, so there would be plenty of room
up and down, but the workmen for some
reason made the terrible mistake of set
ting the car in its natural position, and
the effect of their error is now quite no
ticeable." Then Mr.. Kelley muttered
something about getting even, and buried
himself in the piles of official looking
documents in his office.

MIGHTY HUNTERS COME
HOME
(Contributed)


j. D. Perdue, accompanied by Chas.
Brawley, Lee Stout, Frank Ridell and
Badger Hole Pete, returned from Fisher
river last Sunday from their annual deer
hunt. They report having good time
and plenty of game.
Pete Gutensohn had very bad luck,
and lost three nice deer by falling in
badger and hole causing his gun to lie
discharged.
If there is anyone in the county that
wishes to challenge Chas. Brawley on a
walk, please call at Brawley's house. 1t
is declared by the crowd that BrawIey
walked from Jennings to Fisher station
on the old line in 45 minutes. The first
three days in the woods Charlie did not
take any gun with him; he thought
he could walk the deer down and kill
them with his knife
The buck fever deprived Frank Ridell
of any game at all except a pine squirrel
that was said to be blind.
Badger Hole Pete and Perdue got the
largest heads of the season. The deer
head secured by Perdue no doubt is the
largest head that was eyer taken in this
part of the state. So say all the old
timers.
Joy P Stout finally got himself down
to business and secured two nice bucks.
Ridell says that he will go to Fisher
where Stout and Pete killed the deer and
open up lead mine-next season.

GAS BY THE POUND.

Invention of German Chemist Puts
Light In Dark Places.
Give me two pounds Of gas. Folks
complain it's getting kind Of dark up
at our house"
Thus the farmer of the near future,
addressing the bewhiskered corner
grocer, who will hand a little iron CYL
inder over the counter and write the
amount in the customers red covered
charge book, says the New York Tri-
bune. And that evening the farm
house will blaze once more like the
ballroom of summer resort hotel or a
sideshow at Coney Island. Light,
plenty Of light, for the common and
isolated people is not a distant dream,
but a fact already achieved with COM
mercial success in Germany, and wait
ing the first favorable opportunity to
come across the pond.
Blaugas, the invention Of the chem
ist, Hermann Blau, will make any su-
burbanite lantern lecturer, camper or
travelling professor Of phrenology quite
Independent of gas trust and oil trust,
not to mention the wayward appari-
tions Of the moon. Just get 22-pound
cylinder of liquid gas, six inches in
diameter and three feet long, and you
will have more than enough super
brilliant illumination to last four
months. A small portable outfit the
size of a grip will furnish a 60-candle-
power light for three and a half hours
a day for fortnight. 1t Is said to be
absolutely safe aboard ship or train.
You could use it advantageously in the
subway.
This gas, which is mostly liquified
under a pressure Of 1900 pounds to
the square inch, is not poisonous or ex-
plosive. It costs slightly more than
metropolitan gas. but the public service
commission may have a say on that.
Anyhow, it beats electricity, acetylene,
tallow candles and kerosene. 1t can be
piped through a copper tube as small
as a telegraph wire 1t burns right side
up or upside down in mantle burner,
giving an incandescent white glow. A
number of suburbanites could with lit
tie expense have a common plant for
the distribution of the great light CIV
er. or each one could pipe his house
separately. taking care not to inform
the plumbers union, which might OBJ
ject to the simplicity of the installa-
ton.
Mr.. Blaugas-that is, Mr.. Blau, the
inventor-is praised by scientists be-
cause he ingeniously constructed his
gas by a reversal of the usual gassy
process. dstilling oil at a low temper
ature and mixing in gases the trust has
no use for There may be some polit-
ical significance in the fact that the
invention is coming this way in cam
paign year. Herr Blau on the stump,
Illuminated by blaugas, might add
cheer to some dark prospects.

Too Well Initiated.

1t is no easy matter for a violin
maker to rival the famous Stradiva-
rius instruments, but this an Ameri-
can maker did, and did so effectively
that experts pronounced his violin a
genuine Stradivarius.
The successful man was the late
George Gemunder. a famous violin
maker of New York His remarkable
ability as a preparer of violins was
known to many a distinguished play
er, such as Old Bull, Remenyi and
Wilhelmj. But he made, so runs the
story, his greatest success at the Par
is exposition of Eiffel tower fame
To that exhibition he sent an imita'
ton Stradivarius and to test its merits
had it placed on exhibition as the
genuine article.
A committee of experts carefully
examined the instruments and pro-
nounced it a Stradivarius. SO far Mr.
Gemunder's triumph was complete
But now came a difficulty. When he
claimed that it was not an old violin
but a new one made by himself the
committee would not believe him
They declared he never made the IN
strument and pronounced him an I'M
poster He had done his work too we'll
