New Orleans. - Suffering from 4
fractured skull, the bandit who, sin
gle-handed, robbed the New York linn
tied train OF the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, IL miles east Of New
Orleans, later to be felled by the loco

After Edwards had completed a
round of the coaches he went forward

Baer. who welded a heavy brass
torch. The bandit dropped, uncon-
scious.
Following SO closely upon the at
tempted robbery Of the Cincinnati
southbound passenger train on the
same road at almost the same spot
the night previous, the work of Ed
wards is considered most daring.
Edwards first crawled aboard the
engine not far from New Orleans and
covered Engineer Baer and the fire
man with two revoIvers. He carried
a small valise, in which he had dyna-
mite and nitro-glycerin. The train
was stopped, and with the engineer

mail car of all registered mail and
then relieved the male passengers in
five Pullmans and club car of their
valuables He did not offer to modest
women. He secured several hundred
dollars, according to the police: then
marched the engineer and fireman
back to the engine and ordered them
to proceed.
After riding on the engine for about
rs miles Engineer Baer caught Ed

terrific blow on the head with brass
torch. fracturing the base of the skull.
Edwards, fired one shot as he fell. 1t

rain blows with the torch until he had

FAIR A SUCCESS
argely Attended by Loyal West Wiz.
ginians--Big Annual Event.

Wheeling, w. Va.-The state tair
was largely attended by local West
Virginians. This annual event was
larger and better than ever this year.
The amusements and various attrac-
tons we're splendid Just a few facts
will suffice to prove the point. To be
gin with, this years event is bigge
because every class is full, to put
most mildly. some are full to over
flowing. Chickens will be found where
there should be passageways; swine
will be found where extra accommoda-
tons had been arranged for something
else and fine horses and cattle will be
seen where it was the intention to
have nothing-on the outside of the
buildings prepared for them.
The event is better for the reason
that most of the exhibitors have shown
specimens at state fairs before they
have a pretty fair knowledge of the
standard to be met before they may
expect prizes, with the result that
there are absolutely no inferior ex.
hibits.
