FRUSTRATE PLANS
TO ROB TRAIN

Pueblo. May pa plot to rob San
ia Fe train No. 6 near Pueblo of near
ly 100000 in coin and currency which
was being shipped from Denver to the
east was foiled Tuesday night when
the special agents of the road were
told of the robbers. Every plan was
made for waylaying the train after the
robbers had boarded 1t at the union
depot here and ransacking the mail
and express coaches. The absence of
the informer evidently caused the con-
splrators to be alarmed and they failed
to show up at the depot when the train
arrived. A score OF detectives heavily
armed boarded the train both in this
city and at outlying points and were
prepared for an attack from the train
robbers. A good description of the
two men was obtained as a result ev-
cry railroad special agent and officer
between Chicago and the Pacific are
on the lookout for them. Nothing has
been learned OF their whereabouts and
the police were called upon to assist
in the search. II is believed that both
OF the men are in or near the city and
every effort is being made to locate
them.

Every successful business venture.
no matter how humble, has "a man

Misleading Report.

An evening paper yesterday gave
a reported reliable statement to
the effect that with the opening of
Moberly's New Telephone Exchange
last night, the entire plant would
be transferred to the Missouri and
Kansas department of the Bell Tel
ephone Co. E. D. Graham, the own
er of the Moberly Exchange called
at he Monitor Office today and
said that the statement was entire
ly unauthorized and not matter
of fact.
Mr.. Graham stated to the Mont
tor that it was a well known fact
that there has existed a community
of interest between the local ex-
change and the Mo. and Kansas Co.;
that they had acted as the MOberly
terminal for the Bell Co., under con-
tract and received and transmitted
their messages. When the con-
struction of the new exchange be-
came certainty the Mo. and Kan
sas assisted in financing the plant
after entering into a perpetual con-
tract for service with the Moberly
Exchange. Then MIR Graham
added:
The Moderly Exchange still sus-
tains and will sustain the same re-
lations to the community in the
future as it has in the past. That
so far as can learn, no one in au-
thoritY gave the Information that
the Bell Telephone Co., would take
over the Moberly Telephone Co, on
October "a, or any other time. 1t
is true the M. and K. Telephone Co.
has assisted materially in financing
the Moberly company. 1t is also
true that the Moberly Company has
perpetual traffic contract with the
M. and K. But so far as the Mob
erly Exchange is Concerned the
management is the same as it al
ways has been and so far as I know
there is no arrangement, either i'm
piled or otherwise that the Mis-
souri, and Kansas ever will take
over the Moberly Exchange

accepted and Pulitzer got the paper
for S34S. 00O.
1t was in a bad way. but its new
owner took hold with a vigorous
hand and an inventive brain. He
made many innovations in all
branches of the newspaper field. and
usually they we're successful.
Three years ago. there was a eele-
bration of the twenty-ffth a%nnivers-
AIRY Of Pulitzer's control of the paper.
He lost his sight in 1887.
In 1898 he sought TO realize one
of the dreams of his life and gave
$1,000 900 to Columbia University
to establish a school of journalism.
He offered another million when the
school should have been in operation
for three years. But the plan was
so severely criticized that Pulitzer
agreed to the postponement of its ex-
e%cution, leaving the $1,000, 900 for
its establishment after his death.

A SAM DAVIS
NATURE FAKE STORY.

Sam p. Davis is the authority for
a new nature fake story that arouse
from his recent visit to the convict
camp where Warden Baker is having
about 80 prisoners of the peniten-
tiary do work on the highways with
out guard. The men are on their
honor not to attempt to escape.
Davis has a wide reputation as a
humorist and there is no doubling
his ~veracity.
The humorist SAYS the prison
boys told him that some days ago
they caught two coyotes. who. being
under the impression that the work
men were harmless. made no resis-
lance. The two primitive dogs we're
tied up at first and n by the ex-
eroise OF considerable effort managed
to gnaw his rope in the night and
get away.
THE other coyote showed a dispo-
sition to be docile and apparently
relished his confinement. making no
struggle to break the rope that boud
him. Accordingly by degrees he was
initiated into the life of the inmates
of the ~penitentiary. He was photo
g~raphed. measured. a paw-print
taken and then he was painted with
broad stripes around his middle so
that he looked for all the world like
the familiar Tammany tiger. He re-
sented the new uniform for a while,
but finally exhibited such signs OF
good behavior that one day he was
put upon his honor and the rope was
removed from his neck.
And the next night he escaped"

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
AGAIN IN CONTROL
HARTMAN LINES BETWEEN
OGDEN AND SPARKS AND
BRANCHES PASS FROM CON-
TROL. OF OREGON SHORT LINE.

That part of the Hartman lines
lying between Sparks and Ogden. the
Nevada & California road running
south from Hazen and the various
branch lines in Nevada have been ia
ken from the Oregon Short Line and
placed under the jurisdiction of the
Southern Pacific, the change having
been made last Tuesday.
The Southern Pacific lines In Ne
vada will hereafter be under the
management of E. c. Calvin, vice
president and general manager. In
connection with the change ii is
rumored that E. c. Manson. former
superintendent of the Salt Lake div
ision and later general superinten-
dent of the Short Line. is to go to the
Southern Pacific and will have gen.
eral charge of the company's lines in
this territory. Superintendent
Rowlands will remain in charge of
the Salt Lake division, but will move
his headquarters from Ogden to
Sparks.
Prominent officials of the Southern
Pacific and Short Line met recently
at Inlay. thence proceeded to inspect
the company's lines in southern Ne
vada, and these officials completed
the formal transfer of the Short Line
back TO the Southern Pacific.
The entire Nevada territory was
formerly under the jurisdiction of
the Southern Pacific. but was turned
over TO the Oregon Short Line about
six years ago. As far as the road is
concerned the change merely trans
fers the various lines affected from
the jurisdiction of one set of officials
to another.
Hereafter the railroad will change
the time of its schedules at Ogden in
stead of Sparks and Pacific instead
of mountain time will be used on all
the lines in Nevada.
