HUNTING FOR BANDITS.
Posses in Pursuit of Outlaws Who Held
Up Express Train Near
Malta, Colo.

DENVER. Colo. Sept. 17.-Posses
are in pursuit of outlaws who Thurs
day night held up the Denver & Rio
Grande train, which is known as the
Chicago & San Francisco express, near
Malta. Colo. 1t has been found that
there were only three men in the gang.
They are in the mountains and every
pass believed to be available for the
escape of the bandits is being searched.
The officials of the Globe Express com
pany, whose safe was attacked, made II
statement today that the car which was
dynamited by the robbers was in fact
the car containing the funds sought. The
snfe contained a large sum, how large,
the officials refuse to make known. 1t
was at first believed that the express
money was in the first section of the
train.
1t is practically certain that the ban
dts climbed aboard the tenders of the
engines at Malta and awaited an OPP
portunity to hold up the engine men.
Although a number of shots We're fired,
nobody was hurt. The express ear was
partly wrecked by dynamite. Dan Shea
.he express messenger who at the risk
of his life refused to open the express
safe, has been commended by the OIL
Gals of the company.

MEAT EXPORTS LESS.
Effects of South American Competition
and Other New Condi-
tons

WASHINGTON, -. C., Sept IL
In his forthcoming annual report. Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson will call the
attention of Congress and the country
in a graphic way to some startling con
ditions in the beef trade Of the United
States. The fact that there has been
n decrease Of =, lS7 900 in the number of
cattle in this country in the last two
years and that the exports OF cattle have
dropped off nearly 100000 in the last
eight or nine months is giving the de
partment of agriculture a great deal of
concern.
The price of beef has gone steadily
higher in the United States, while it APP
pears to have remained at a fairly rea-
sonable standard abroad. Last year, for
the first time in history the shipments
of South American beef into England
exceeded the shipments from America
The European market for that product
is said to be growing by leaps and
bounds.
In connection with the rumor that
the South American countries soon will
begin q struggle to get into the Ameri-
can markets with their beef. is a special
report received this week from Consul
Frederic W. Cooling at Montevideo,
Uruguay, in which he says that Ameri-
cans have Deen collecting data there rel

HARTMAN, THE BUILDER.
Some Of the Great Achievements on
the Roads lie Controlled.


Z. ii. hartman was one of the
greatest railroad reconstructionists
this country has known. When he
took over the Union, Central and
Southern Pacific he foresaw that the
entire lines would have to be rebuilt
He put his whole energy into the task
of expanding many millions of dollars
for that purpose; some say S20,000,-
000 He Strengthened out crooks and
curves; tunneled mountains at their
bases, where the roads formerly went
over them; put steel viaducts and
bridges across ravines and streams;
reduced grades, built excellent road
beds and placed on them the heaviest
steel rails.
Starting at the east end of the sys-

bridge across the Missouri river be.

considered one of the finest railway
