COWBOYS KILL 5000
 SHEEP; TWO MEN HURT

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, May 26.- As a result of battle between sheep men and cowboys on contested range near Atchee, Colo, yesterday, 5000 head of sheep were killed and two sheep men were injured. The sheep, which belonged to Taylor Brothers, of Montrose, were grazing on a range near the hamlet of Carbinero.
 It appears that the cowboys dashed in on the herders and tied them to trees and then rode out and killed the sheep. They first cut the telephone wires. Several hours later the sheep herders were liberated.
 The authorities of Garfield county have been notified, but it is not be- lieved the cowboys will be captured.
 The range in which the crime was committed has long been contested range and several mureds have re- suited from quarrels over it.

STATISTICS OF TOXIC TELL
 OF JAPANESE IMMIGRATION
NEARLY SIXTY THOUSAND JAP
 ANESE HERE IN 1906
Nearly Fifty Per Cent of Total Num- Der in United States Found in Cities of Cali.
 fornia.

TOXIC, April 25.-According to sta tistics recently compiled there were in December, 1906, 59,1OO Japanese subjects in the United States, and out of that total no less than 5S per cent were in California and it's immediate neighboring states.
 In California cities 50 per cent of the total were found and of these PC per cent were engaged in labor on rail- roads, and in mines, the remaining 24 per cent being occupied with agricul- ture.
 It is in the last named enterprise alone that anything like signal sue cess has been attained
 There are 14,000 Japanese farmers, speaking roughly, in California, and they own an aggregate area of 12,000 acres, which land is devoted mainly to the cultivation of fruit and vege- tables. Many of the settlers have been living there for from ten to thirty years.
 They speak English excellently and may be said to be virtually domiciled.
 An important feature is their con tribution to trade with Japan. but more remarkable are the sums of money sent to the home country by them. In 1904 they sent to Japan SS,750,0 ,000; in 1905, nearly S5,000,000; and in 1906. S5,6SS, 900.

ROBBERS HOLDUP
 OVERLAND LIMITED
FOUR MASKED MEN HALT TRAIN AND
 DEMAND REGISTERED MAIL
Two Empty Mail Pouches Are Found Near Scene ofRObbery, butNo Clew as to Whereabouts
 of Bandits Who Plundered Them

OMAHA, Neb., May 25.-Four masked bandits held up and robbed Union Pacific passenger train No. ?, known as the Overland Limited, a few miles west of the city, just before mid night tonight, and secured seven mail sacks, believed to have contained a large quantity of registered mail.
 The robbers evidently got on the train at some point west of here. The holdup occurred about five miles west of the city limits in deep cut along the recently constructed Lane cutoff.
 The robbers climbed over the tank and forced the engineer to stop his train and then proceeded to the mail car. The clerks were forced to open the door and hand out seven pouches of registered mail. The robbers then hurried away in a southerly direction and permitted the train to proceed. The passengers were not molested and as soon as the robbers left the scene of the holdup the train came to this city.
 A large squad of police hurried to the scene and quickly started in pur- suit of the bandits.

Find Emptv MaiI Sacks.

OMAHA, May 26.-AlthOugh the pO- lice department of this city and the sheriff have had large forces of men securing the country in the vicinity of the scene of last nights holdup on the Union Pacific railroad, three miles west of the city, little progress has been made toward arresting the ro0- bers.
 Two empty mail pouches taken f.om the train were found some distance from where the robbery occurred. They had been cut open and their.eoR- tents removed, the outlaws overlook ing only one package.
 The highwaymen dropped from sight so completely that not a single person has been able to give a clew.
 Every town in the county has been notified and the sheriffs' offices of sur rounding counties have been keeping lookout for strangers. The postoffice department has taken steps to aid in the search.
 Rode in an Auto
 It is believed the robbers rode in an automobile to the scene of the holdup.
 It has been learned that a fire was burning on the bank near where the robbery occurred, and it is believed to have been used as a signal for the rob bers on the train in order that they might know where to begin opera tions.
 Conductor Wallace says he was more surprised at the boldness of the robbers than anything else.
 T got out of the sleeper at the rear of the train when heard the shooting" said Wallace, "and the robbers prompt ly began using my lantern as a target. I walked forward to the next car, when one of the robbers yelled at me: Get inside there before you get your head shot of. It did not take me long to obey.
 Had Finished Job
 'I went forward inside the train and when I got to the dining car just be- hind the baggage car, the robbers had about finished their job. I found the colored walters in panic.
 "They were all up. expecting to leave the train at Omaha. Two or three of the dining car men had stuck their heads out and the robbers sent few bullets in their direction. None of the passengers knew what had happened, because nearly all were asleep
 Chief Clerk Whitmore of the mail car says the pouches stolen were con sidered among the less important reg istered mail. One of them was for eign pouch, four were destined for Chi cago and the other two to New York.
 A number of secret service men ar rived in Omaha from Kansas City to- night to join in the hunt. Sheriff Bauman of Fremont has notified the local police that three men had hur- riedly left a saloon near the depot at that place just as the Overland Linn ited was getting ready to leave, and he believes they boarded the train. He has supplied a good description of the men.

NEW YORK-Following the opening of Coney island all owners of poultry in that vicinity have been ordered by the board of health to get rid of their roosters. Until Coney island opened last Saturday roosters in that neigh borhood never crowed until sunup, be- tween and o'clock in the morning. Since then, however, they have mis- taken the bright lights from the ia nous resort for daylight and have per sistently crowed from 1 o'clock until the sun has risen. The noise of their vocal exercises caused many com plaints to be made to the board of health.

INDIANS PLAN POW-W0W FOR
 TRIBESMAN WHO KILLED WIFE
RED MEN SURROUND PRISON TO
 AWAIT BODY
Aborigine Hanged in Nevada for Slay- ing Spouse Much Wanted by His Tribesmen, Who
 Are Indignant

RENO, New, May 26.-Because more than 500 Washoe Indians are gathered in Carson City and intend when the body if Charles Kaiser is turned over to them by the warden of the penitentiary to hold big pow-wow over the hanged mans re mains, and also because the author ities fear trouble as result, the body will be buried within the walls of the prison, and tomorrow morning mem bers of the state police will order the Indians to disperse.
 Kaiser was hanged this morning at II o'clock. He was a son of Black Horse, a Washoe chief. Washoe h. dians from the nearby reservation re sent the interference of state author ities in their affairs, and declare it was their duty to have hanged Kaiser should he have deserved it in their opinion.
 Kaiser killed his wife for allegd in timacy with another man-an offense punishable by death by the Washoes. Kaiser was the third Indian to be hanged by the state, and the Indians are resentful for this.
 Early yesterday Indians began to gather outside the prison walls, await ing the turning over of Kaiser's body. They declare openly they would hold a pow-wow, and as the majority of them were armed, it was deemed advisable to bury the body within the prison walls.
 Kaiser, despite has bravado yester- day, broke down completely just be- fore the execution. He wept and had to be dragged to the scaffold.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.-Carl Erickson, aged S1, holds the record for somnambulistic feats in this sec tion of the country.
 While asleep Tuesday night he walked. out of the window in his apartments and fell twenty-five feet to the ground without awakening, and kept right on sleeping for more than three hours.
 When he was aroused by a vivid dream, in which he imagined he was freezing to death, he found himself clutching at the grass in the yard, believing it to be a wood coverlet.
 Beyond a few minor bruises he is none the worse for his thrilling ex- perience.
