Conductor Shoots Robber.

St. Paul, July 20.-The North
Coast Limited arrived in St. Paul this
morning. DR.. j. w. Guest, Of Louis
vile, who occupied berth in the
sleeper robbed, was relieved of 500
in bank checks. DR.. Guest attended
Olson, the wounded engineer, and
says his wound is not serious, being
hardly more than flesh wound IN
the lower left breast.
N. V. Mcmillan, also of Louisville
occupied a berth next. to DR.. Guests,
and was robbed of 500 in bank
checks and Sc in cash. when the
robber came to my BERTH" said Dr.
Guest, "I handed him my pocketbook

my railroad ticket. He took the
checks out, and handed back the

Then he asked if I did not have any
cash, and when I told him l had

was attracted to the berth opposite
me occupied by Mr.. Stark, of Gin

A remarkable thing about the affair
was that the robbers passed up berth

SAYS ARSON TRUST EXISTS.
Headquarters in Kansas City, Says
Illinois Fire Marshal.

Chicago, July 19.-That there ex-
lists gigantic arson trust, with head
quarters in Kansas City and repre-
sentatives in nearly all the large
cities, the members of which make a
business of setting fire to buildings
to enable the owners to collect insur-
ance, was the sensational charge
made to-day by State Fire Marshal
C. J. Doyle, in an address before the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
1.-The country is facing one of the
most gigantic organized arson con-
spiracies ever known" said Mr..
Doyle. "The State fire department
of Illinois, has united with the State
fire marshals of Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Ohio to wipe out the band OF
fifteen men at the head of this arson
conspiracy.
'The office of the firebug trust is
in Kansas City, from which the op-
erations of the entire gang is direct
ed.
"Members have been found at work
in Bloomington, Springfield, Illinois,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, New York, Buff
falo, St. Louis, Chicago and other
cities.
1.-TWO of this gang have been con-
victed and are now in prison in a
Southern city. The others will be be-
hind the bars before long, if we are
successful in completing the cases we
are now working on.
"Without the cases of arson, the
fire losses of the country are appall-
ing. The yearly loss in this country
amounts to about $500 minute. In
Chicago the loss is about $5,000,00O
a year. We need to adopt the fire
protection plans of European cities y

Father and Daughter Buried.

ANDERSON, July l9.-Ine DOQleS OF
W. V. Beasley and his daughter,
Mrs. Emma Beasley Hyde, who were
slain yesterday by Samuel N. Hyde,
husband of the latter, were laid to
rest side by side in Silver Brook
cemetery this afternoon.
At the coroner's inquest.it develop
ed that the linen on the bed where
Mrs. Hyde was shot caught fire from
the explosion of the pistol and it was
completely consumed. This shows
how close Hyde was to his wife when
he fired the fatal shot. The coroner's
jury returned the usual verdict,
holding Hyde responsible.
Hyde maintains his demeanor to-
to-day, stating that he is as much
pleased as ever over the success of
his act.
Hyde is very intelligent, has fair
education, and has been known
among his acquaintance as a quiet
and peaceable man. The majority
of the people are inclined to believe
that his mind became affected. They
give this as an explanation for his
deed. A conversation with him,
however, would dispel this opinion,
as he talks deliberately and with pre-
cision and apparently with all of his
faculties. He expects to be hung for
his deed and has reiterated his readi-
ness to pay the death penalty at any
time.

ROBBERS HOLD UP LIMITED.
Passengers on Train on Northern Pa
cific Relieved of $500.

Grand Forks, n. D., july w.
Train No. 2, the eastbound North
Coast limited, on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, was held up by three
masked robbers near Buffalo, n. d.,
about II o'clock last night. The
robbers secured about $500 in cash
by going through the passengers and
shot Engineer S. P. Olson, of Fargo,
twice in order to make him stop the
train, and made a successful escape
in an automobile which they had
awaiting them near the scene OF the
robbery.
The hold-up was the most daring
ever perpetrated in this part OF the
country. The men were not anna
teurs, as everything was cleVerly
planned and admirably executed.
When the train stopped at the high
bridge at Valley City, the three men
boarded it and went into the day
coach. Heavily armed and shooting
recklessly in order to intimidate the
passengers, they first lined up the
train crew at one end of the car and
then proceeded to search the passen-
gers in the day coach.
Pistol Shot Calls Passengers.
In all they secured about $500 in
this car. The sleeping car was en-
tered and in order to awaken the oc-
cupants of the berth a shot was fired
down the aisle, narrowly missing the
head of one of the passengers and
embedding itself in the woodwork.
After searching the occupants OF
the berths the robbers climbed out OF
the diner over the baggage and the
express car to the engine, reaching
that part of the train when near
Buffalo. They ordered Engineer o.
son to stop the train so they could
get of and when he refused to COM
ply two shots were fired directly at
him, one miraculously glancing off his
watch and the other striking him on
a rib, injuring him slightly.
Robbers Vanish in Dark.
After being wounded and seeing
that the men were desperate, Engin-
eer Olson stopped the train and the
three masked men jumped from the
train and ran into the darkness.
Engineer Olson was brought into
Fargo with the train and is resting
easily at his. home there. After leaV-
ing the train the robbers went to an
automobile which they had waiting
nearby and flashed off into the dark
ness.
The train was run into Fargo,
where the. sheriff, every available
deputy and three United States mar
shal hurried back on special train
to pursue the robbers.

Kansas CITY in Ignorance.

Kansas City, July 19.-If Kansas
City is the headquarters for an arson
trust, as was declared by State Fire
Marshal Doyle, of Illinois, before the
Chicago Association Of Commerce
to-day, the police here have never
learned of the fact. Chief of Detec-
tives Foos laughed at the statement.
