and post Office inspectors on horses and

a battle Is expected.
The passengers on the train were not
disturbed and several Of them did not
learn Of the robbery until yesterday

Before the fast mail arrived at Benieia,
two men who had left Oakland on an
other train two hours earlier and had
left their train on the Port Costa ferry,
climbed unobserved on the rear end Of
the fast mails locomotive. The train
had gone less tram five miles from Ben,
way, when the stowawaya crawled over
the oh tank 81 the tender, pointed re-
volvers az the heads Of the engineer and
fireman, and ordered them 10 stop the
engine and get Of.
The engineer and fireman quickly com
piled. Then the robbers compelled them
10 get into the mail car, which was in
charge Of Herbert J Black and his as
sistant Thomas A. Clancy.

CINE crew was then forced to carry the
nine sacks 70 the engine. The engine and

down the track Two miles.
Here the mail ponches were thrown
out, ne engine was uncoupled and IT,

CINE passed the station at snisun, the

Attaeked the slIk Hat.

The SILK hat is not vanishing rapidly
enough to suit the views Of certain
members Of the municipal council OF
Courteuil. In France. who some time
back proposed that regulation for
its abolition should be instituted. The
grounds set forth for this measure
were that the silk hat constitutes a
humiliation for those who can not af-
ford 1t; that It is worn only BY the
aristocrats, who live by the sweat Of
the poor; that II Is unaesthetic and not
a necessary part OF mans attire, and
that its disappearance would contrib
ute to the establishment Of equality
among the citizens Of the republic. 1t
was suggested that any one wearing
the Questionable headgear should be
fined francs for each offense. The
silk hat. however found many sup.
porters on the council. and the meas
ure was thrown out.

 CT at Dallas, Texas.

After ne- s"NtLteen year cd q aaghter Miss i.csina Fergus, ], dis appeared from tLis city early Spr.- day morning without notifying any one of her destination, Mrs. P. J. Fer guson, of No S9S East Second avenue, appealed to the police to locate her and within a few hours the young lady was in custody of the police matron at Dallas, Texas. Patrol man James Hargrove left Monday af- ternoon for Dallas and was ordered to bring the girl back to her mother here. They will probably arrive to- day.
 Mrs. Ferguson said that her daugh- ter ran away against her wishes and was on her way to visit her sister, Mrs. s. H. Zoller, at Sapulpa, Ok, when she stopped her at Dallas. She denies the report that the girl, who lis exceptionally pretty, eloped with 'Freda', a strong man who was a vaudeville attraction at the Moon Theater last week. Miss Ferguson was employed as cashier at the thea ter.
 It was stated yesterday that Miss Ferguson boarded a Cotton Belt train at the railroad crossing, one mile west of Pine Bluff early Sunday morning and further investigation re- vealed the fact that she was accom- panied by the young actor, who is said to have departed from Pine Bluff on the same train. The young people met only three days ago.

Little Rock, June 7.-The Democra- tic State central committee was called to order at noon today by Chairman R. F. Mifwee, and after roll call the report of the sub committee which had been conducting the investigation of the senatorial contest from Cross and Woodruff counties between Elmo CarlLee of Woodruff and J. Emmett Smith of Cross, made it's report
 The report was submitted in writing and came in the nature of surprise even to the contestants. It simply states the findings of the committee and recommends that primary cleo tion be called, and that the matter be sent back to the people of Cross county for settlement. As soon as the report was read A. G. Little of Missis sippi county, who is representing MT. CarlLee, stated to the committee that the arrangement would be satisfactory to his client, as he had always been willing to leave it to the vote of that county.
 L. c. Going of Harrisburg, who rep resents Mir Smith, also accepted the proposition on his behalf
 It was explained that w. J. John- son and J. c. Rembert, members of the subcommittee, had not returned to the city, but the finding of the con- mittee and the recommendation were agreed with Messrs Milwee, Armstead and Walls in all matters.
