Rome, Aug. mgr. Vico, the papal

Although the vatican is earnestly

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. Am emil

Of goods was beaten and robbed. and
thrown from a moving train, and so
far as HIS assailant was concerned left
for dead near Reynolds at an early
hour this morning by desperate
tramp who had evidently planned to
kill the owner Of the carload of goods
and make away with the property by
continuing with the car to its destina-
tion and then, in all probability selling
the contents of the car.
The details up to the hour Of pub
4ication are meagre and the names of
the parties cannot be learned at this
time, but the main facts of the story
are known. When the freight train
arrived at Reynolds the desperate
climbed aboard the emigrant's car and
as soon as the train had got out of
town he gave the immigrant a brutal
beating, robbed him of all his money
and papers, including the shipping re-
ceipt or bill Of lading of the car and
tossed the unconscious man from the
moving train.
