25Oth ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
 of the Founding Of Norwich, July 5th and 9th

templated Black Hand agents. A num- Der of witnesses have been found who saw the shooting and can identify the man.
 Upon information it was assumed Rodgers was the man wanted and Po- liceman Ernander nabbed him as he was about to go to his room at the Irwin house and took him to head quarters at S.15. He stoutly denied his complicity in the affair and in the interim it is believed he disposed of his gun.
 Rodgers, 1t is said. is much feared and has threatened that before he left town the citizens would know he was around. He was in police court last October but was released on payment of a nominal fine.
 Sunday night at 10 o'clock Rodgers was identified by Miss Anna L. Rob- inson. who was seated in the doorway of Herbert w. Smiths house in Jack son place, and saw the affair. She says she saw Rodgers draw a revolver and fire two shots at Revello and then run down the alley. putting the revolver in his pocket as he ran. MT. Smith also identified, and Mrs. Hines will testify that he was the man who knocked over her child while running away.

All in the Mind.

On the opening day of one winter session the late Prof Tait of Edinburgh university entered the natural philos- ophy classroom in the midst of the up roarous applause common to those oc- casions.
 Presently he looked up at the tu- multuous benches above him with the smile of one who had known the ways of students for lifetime.
 At last, when a momentary lull came, he remarked, his gray eyes twinkling:
 Gentlemen, must remind you that there is really no such thing as noisea It is merely matter of subjective ini4 precision. Youths Companion.

send word to Spokane While he was busy telegraphing, about a half hour after the locomotive and mail car had disappeared, he saw the powerful To- comotive careening towards the coaches, in which many persons were asleep, for the robbers had acted qui- etly in seizing the mail car. Many of the passengers knew nothing of the holdup until awakened by the collision, which was only eased by the quick work of the trainmen.
 No One Fatally Hurt.
 As sson as Robertson realized that collision was imminent, he sailed on the brakeman and porters to aid him. While the conductor and another man threw a tie across the track, a brake man stood ready to board the cab as soon as the shock of the collision checked the impetus of the wild loco- motive. The mail car was partly de- railed by the tie, and the wheels plow- ed into the ballast while the steam inn pelled the locomotive wheels to whirl on the rails. The brakeman was in in the cab, were he seized the throttle and shut off the steam and applied the brakes. Passengers, tJm- bled from seats and jousted in berths, rushed out to ascertain the cause of the shock. None was fatally hurt. Dochors and Deputies on the Scene.
 Two special train loads of deputies were hurried from Spokane when word of the holdup was received, and doc tors were taken along to care for the injured. No trace of the robbers was found today.
 One of the Bandicts an Experienced
 Engineer.
 While it is reported that the ban dits obtained a large sum of money from the registered mail, the amount being placed at $20000. railroad off, cers and mail inspectors say the amount stolen is not known. One of the bandits who entered the cab was more than six feet tall and evidently was an experienced engineer. As the two robbers entered the cab this man said to the engineer: "Youe have heard of us before" indicating that they had been involved in similar holdups in the vicinity of Spokane within the last few months.
