Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-Charles

Shields remarked when he had ex-
planned his desire to see Wiehe.
McGowan's appearance as a witness

DARING TRAIN
H0LO-UP ON
ROCK ISLAND
Mail and Express Cars Cut
Away From Passenger
Cars Near Hubert, Ark,
and Big Booty is Secured.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. Five men
plundered the mail and express cars
of the Rock Island train No. 43 near
Hubert, Ark, early, today and made
away with their booty long before an
alarm was spread and posses could
seek their trail. The holdup was SO
cleverly planned and executed with
such precision that none OF the train
employees could offer resistance and
few of the passengers knew anything
had happened until they awoke to find
their train stalled.
The value of plumber the robbers got
has not been determined. They ran
sacked the postal car, blasted the
Wells Fargo Express Co., safe, ap.
parently overlooking nothing that
might add to their profit This was
the second holdup near Hubert within
the last four months.
The train left Memphis about mid
night. After it cleared the western
terminus of the Mississippi river
bridge it was boarded by two masked
hen. They climbed over the tender
and covered the engine crew with
guns. Then the train was halted. The
engineer was bound and gagged then
ran the train on several miles until
the track where three other bandits
waited.
Here the baggage and mail cars were
detached from the passenger coaches
and before any Of the train crew knew
what was happening, the locomotive
with its light load was hurrying far
Their into the country.
While one Of the bandits held gun
over the fireman, the remaining four of
the band clambered into the express
and mail coaches and covered the
messengers and clerks. The engine
with the two cars proceeded to point
a mile east Of Hubert, Ark. Then the
robbers ransacked the postal car, blew
open the safe, gathered their plumber
and fed. II .as
They had obtained a good start at
flight long before an alarm could be
given. The telegraph wires into Mem
phis had been cut. The first intimation
of danger to the train came to en-
ployes of the Rock Island road at the
western terminus Of the Mississippi
river bridge. They heard heavy de-
donations apparently from a point far
in the country. The noise was made
by explosions Of ammunition that was
destroyed when the combination bag
gage and express cars burned after the
safe had been blasted.
Recalling last November's holdup the
Rock Island employees sent in hurry
call to the Memphis police. A posse is
searching the country about Hubert
and patrols have been stationed up and
down the Mississippi river.

STILL INVESTIGATING
VIII Not Cease Their Efforts But no
One Of Men Arrested Has
Been lncrimin-
ated.

1t now seems probable that the
murderer of Miss Ellen Cullene Will
never be brought to court to pay the
forfeit for his deed and another mys-
terry will be recorded along with the
already growing list of unsolVed
crimes.
When Ward Stafford was arrested
at Warsaw for the deed it seemed that
the circumstantial evidence was very
strong against him but he has refused
to cringe before the accusations OF
the authorities and despite the many
runners that he was about to confess,
he has stolidly maintained his inno-
cencc unit. the authorities were
forced to give up the case against
him.
At the time OF the murder suspicion
Immediately pointed to two strangers
who had been hanging around the
town about the time Of the murder,
and the two men were apprehended
later and found to be William and Ar.
thur Carpenter, of Quincy. The for
mer was arrested upon the charge OF
arson but he seems to have explain
ed himself out OF the suspicion first
turned against him in connection with
the murder.

the case and will not give up the
search. They have examined a mum

Two st. Louis coIored Boys Devise
Winning Plan to Capture

POLICE SPOIL THE GAME
Sixty Heads Of Cabbage Found
Stored Away in Several Houses
Where the Conquest
Was Planned.

Two colored boys from ST Louis hit
upon neat plan to gain a front rank
in the estimation of the colored
feminfnity of the town but the prompt
action Of Chief Kenney's men brought
them to grief
They stood up in the police court
before Judge Mcnamara this morn
ang and gave their names as William
Edwards and Lester Williams. They
were charged with stealing about
sixty heads of cabbage from w. B.
Daniel, commission merchant, while
unloading and hauling 1t away from
the car.
When the cabbage began to show
up short an investigation was begun
and an ample supply of sauer kraut
was found safely harbored away in
the houses of several dainty bits of
dusky hued loveliness. The prospect
of continued blessings from their rich
st. Louis friends was cut short by
the unpleasant actions of the police
and the rapid social rise Of the two
boys was cut short
| The colored boys had no love for
Keolsuk and were gladly willing for a
chance to travel back to the big city
to the south. In fact, when the Judge
| put the question they both broke into
smiles from ear to ear and at once
both began to explain their desire to
again assume their enviable position
/ in that city.
Thirty days or st. Louis was the
sentence pronounced and the latter
alternative looked the better.
