ORION WOMAN IS
BURNED To CRISP

Mrs Charles Lindberg Of Viola,
was burned to death Saturday morn
ing at her home while attempting TO
light a fire In a cook stove. She
had filed the fire box with wood and
then poured some kerosene over it
and applied a match. The flames
which resulted caused an explosion
of the kerosene can and the burning
oil set the clothing of Mrs. Lindberg
on fire. She was burned almost to
a crisp and died two hours later. A
neighboring woman who rushed in
to her rescue also was badly burned
when her clothing caught fire but
the blaze was extinguished before
the burns were fatal. Mrs. Lindberg
is survived by her husband and 2
year-old child.

WITNESS DARING
TRAIN ROBBERY
Daniel K. Brennan of This City
Sees How Western Ban
dts Perform.
THIEVES GET MUCH BOOTY
Blow Open Safe and Steal Three
Sack, of Coin-NIake Their
Getaway in Auto.

Daniel K. Brennan of this city, a
member of the business staff Of The Ar
gus who with several St Paul friends
is making a tour of the Pacific coast.
witnessed a daring train robbery Fri
day night at Rainbow. Cal Five ban
dts boarded the train on which Mr..
Brennan was a passenger. at Lamorse
which is 112 miles north of Rainbow
but they did not make their presence
known until they were at the little
town where the holdup occurred.
There they suddenly appeared at the
express car and with drawn revolvers
the train passengers covered while the
safe was blown open by the others.
MAKE RICH HAUL.
The game was worth the candle for
the three large sacks of coins and sew
eral packages of paper money besides
valuable papers were included in the
booty. Passengers upon learning what
was in progress made haste to secret
their valuables on their persons and
in the cars but there was no need for
it as the robbers paid no attention to
them other than to make sure that
they did not interfere in the progress
of the holdup. After they had the
safe blown open and the money remov-
ed. they made their escape in an au-
tomobile which was kept ready for
the emergency by a pal. The rob
berry was carefully planned and there
was not a hitch. Many shots were
fred at the bandits as they were
leaving and the shots were returned
with interest but as far as could be
ascertained none of the robbers was
hit and their bullets failed to hurt any
of the passengers.

The evening train on the Rock Is

at $3.50. came near figuring in a disas-

about two miles south Of Wyoming,
which place is the fifth stop out of PEG
ria. AS it was the tender left the track
and was dragged a distance OF 1909
feet before the train was brought 10
a stop. The tender had swung across
the track and had the train gone a
short distance further it would prob
ably have fallen over and blockaded
the tracks entirely in which case there
would have been a real wreck. p~--
filling the coaches with dust and fright
ening the passengers, little damage
was done.
