SANDMAN BRIGANDS
HOLD UP TREASURE TRAIN
Make Their Plans Badly and Miss
Selling the Greater Part Of
the Bullion Shipped.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


MILAN. October 90, 1910
Sixteen Sandman brigands, under the
leadership of the notorious chieftain Toll
sana, held up a train in the wild noun
famous country near Ogliastra. but
through want Of foresight succeeded in
selling upon booty to the value of only
$1,000.
The train In question runs every Sunday
morning from Cagliari, the capital, to
,Tortoli, on the east coast. for the pur-
pose of distributing at all stations along
the line bags of money containing the
weekly wages destined for the local staff.
Luckily the brgands had prepared the
attack one hundred miles distant from
the starting point, when the bulk OF the
bullion had already been delivered.
The train was derailed and overturned
into a hollow. Masked men stood over
the travelling staff with loaded rifles,
threatening to blow out the brains of any
body who dared to stir. Meantime two
of their number rifled the luggage van
and passenger car. Disappointed at SO
small a haul the brigands stripped the
staff of their watches, chains. rings and
pocket money, which. however. the chief
tain ordered to be forthwith restored to
them.
A squadron Of mounted police was has
tily sent to scour the region, but met with
no success.

BRITISH PEERS WILL
SELL PART OF ESTATES
Lord De La War; Tells His
Tenants They May Have
First Chance at Land.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, October 49, 1910.
Two more peers are selling parts of
their estates-Earl De Ia War; and Lord
Sondas. Although both are conservatives,
they are probably selling for totally diff
ferent reasons. In the case of the FORM
er, the land is being sold because the
owner knows that the present is a profit
able time to sell
He has written to his tenants, intimat-
ing that he intends selling by auction the
greater portion of the Buckhurst estate
cTunbridge Wells), but that before Offer
ing the farms to the public he wishes to
give his tenantry the opportunity of ac-
curing their holdings. This latest In
stance of the cutting UP of large estate
is all the more noteworthy as the land
has been held by the SaokvilIe family
since the time OF the conquest, and 1t Is
understood that his lordship has instruct
ed his agents to negotiate with his ten
ants, and to put up to auction in Novem-
Der all the farms which the tenants may
not wish to purchase.
Last autumn Lord De la War; made
crushing reply to the tories. who were
then crying out that Lloyd-Georges IA
nous budget had ruined the property
market" In a letter he declared: In my
own case l find that during the last
twelve months I have had more applica-
tons for land at good prices than / have
had for may years. both at Bexhill and
in other parts of Sussex. / can now sell
land at $500 an acre in Sussex, land
which a few years ago would not have
fetched $3.50 an acre"
Lord Sondas is negotiating for the sale
of his estate at Elmham, Norfolk. The
tenants have received formal notice to
quit at Michaelmas, 1911.

DIES OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Disease Fatal to Another Princeton
Student.

PRINCETON. N. j., October 31.--Mar-
Gus Crawford OF the class of 1914, whose
home was i'm Franklin, Pa. died in
Princeton University Infirmary Saturday
night of infantile paralysis.
This is the second death from this cause
within three weeks. Robert o. Funk
houser of Lincoln, Neb., also member of
the class of 1914, being the other victim.
DIR. J. NJ. Carnochan, the university ply
stefan, last evening gave out the following
statment regarding this fatal d sease:
Paralysis is a disease Of the summef
months and few cases have been known
to occur in this latitude after the LIST of
November. Overexertion and severe men
tai strain seem predisposed to cause it.
The best preventive is careful living.
Many physicians advise the use of some
simple gargle. Most authorities are agreed
that the disease Is communicable only
to slight degree"

GANG MEMBER SHOT DEAD
AT DOOR OF DANCE HALL
Special Policeman's Quick Work
Saves Life When Six Guns Are
Drawn on Him.

NEW YORK, October 31.-Through
quick work with his revolver, Robert Ad-
Ter. the special policeman in West sd
street dancing academy, who late Satur-
day night shot and killed one man and
probably fatally injured another while
the dancers were in the mazes of waltz,
broke up. temporarily, at least, the Co
pher gang, a band of gun fighters.
Six of the gangs members, led by
Charles Hunt, are said to have had a
grudge against Adler, and, according to
the police, went to the dancing academy
to get him. When Adler stopped them
at the door six hands reached for as
many pistol pockets. A shot was fired
and the door near Adler's head was splin-
tered. Then Adler's pistol flashed and
Hunt fell, shot through the head. He
never moved again.
Three other shots were fired at Adler,
but all missed. William Morris. one Of
the band, then lunged forward with pis-
tol raised, but the special policeman was
too quick and shot him through the head.
The remainder of the band fed.
Morris probably will die.

PARIS. October %, 1910.
NJ. Charles de la Ronciere. CONSERVATION

Two French viceroys were commissioned
to saT and occupy the American conti-

Tell Secret.

MIDDLEPORT, N. Y, October 81
Falling from an apple tree and. injuring
his" back, James Dean" who had been
employed as farm laborer by B. NJ. Bell
Of Alabama township, was forced to admit
that 'he" was a girl and had been mas

name really iss left her home, which she
made with her married sister at East
Syracuse, early in May, and during the
summer months was employed at the
assembly, grounds at Chautauqua as a
boy waiter. Leaving there at the close
of the season, she hired out 10 Mr.. Bell
about the LIST of September, and with
five other hired men had done her share
of the apple picking. No one suspected
that she was a woman.
The physician who was called to attend
her when she fell from an apple tree dis
covered her secret and told Mr.. Bell
Then the whole story came out.

While posing as boy at the farm of
the Bells she was nicknamed Handsome
Jimmy and was quite favorite with
the girls of that section, paying atten-
ton to one for some time, and even
taking her to dances. Being slim, tall,
fair. with auburn hair closely clipped.
Miss Meeker made all the boys and girls
