BARRAQUE STREET IOOPl
 IS GENERALLY FAVORED
MANY BUSINESS MEN EXPRESS DESIRE TO SEE STREET CAR
 LINE EXTENDED.
Movement Would Be a Great Improve ment and of Untold Benefit to
 Patrons of Company.

The movement to induce the Pine Bluff Company to extend the street car line north on Main to Barraque west on Barraque to Walnut, then south to Second, forming loop around which all cars will go, is meeting with general favor. Citizens who have no interests other than the desire for good system readily express them selves for the loop"
 Ignoring the question of enhancing the value of real estate in the district through which the line will extend many arguments are put forth as to the benefit the public generally would receive and the added patronage to the company's lines.
 It was stated yesterday that large petition signed by hundreds of busi- ness men and citizens whose inter- ests lie in all parts of the city would probably be presented to the manage ment of the street railway company urging the big corporation to make the proposed improvements.
 Ten prominent men, eight of whom would not be materially benefited by the improvement, were interviewed by a Graphic representative yesterday with the following result:
 c. B. Leyerenz: 'I think the build ing of the loop would be big i'm proyement for the business district
 F. Lee Fox: The extension would be greater benefit to the patrons of

 No arrests have been made.
 It is believed here that the bandits bearded the train at Coffeyville shortly before midnight last night. Concealed along ihe sides of the ten der and at the front of the baggage car, the men were Tot detected until they were ready to stop the tra Il. Two craWled over the tender and covered the engineer and fireman when the train was about 10 miles north of iBartlesvile at lonely spot in a narrow cut. No shorts were fired at the time, but each robber was ljsavily armed.
 The train at step, it was but the work of two minutes for the other four robbers to enter the express car SUI prise the mesanger and his at tendant. Two robbers stood guard over the express employees while the remaining two dragged the safe to the door and tumbled it to the ground whence, end on end, it was rolled to the edge of the shallow embarkment. Then enc Tcbber left the engine and picketed themselves near the entrance to the combination smoking car and day coach to ward of possible inter- ference from trainmen or passen- gers.
 The robbers distributed the'r forces and effectively blocked attack from these on the train. At the ap- pearance of the first trainman several shots were fored into the air. There after trainmen and passengers con1 tented themselves with occasionally glancing from the windows, as de- tonat on after detonation rem the air succeeded by curves from the two robbers bent on opening the safe. For more than two hours the robbero worked with dynamite but finally gave it up and retreated with few shots from pistals. The train arr we'd here three hours late. Posses are en- leavoring to pick up the robbers trail today.

MORE RIPE PEACHES
RAISED IN KEOKUK
The Returns Come In Slowly but
Show keokuk Ms,Sured Some
Good Fruit.

This is the third report that has
come to The Gate City from three
different residents of Keokuk who
have found ripe peaches on their
trees this season. 1t was the general
opinion before the first report waH
received that not a single peach had
been grown on any tree in the city.
After the first and second reports ap.
peared in The Gate City the general
opinion was withdrawn, and now
comes George w. Wright, contractor,
who resides at 1916 Bank street, who
reports that he picked three ripe
peaches yesterday from tree on his
premises.
This intimates the fact that not
withstanding the severe temperature
of the weather in this locally at
times and the sensibility OF the
peach tree, peaches might be raised
here without so many failures, if the
trees were properly pruned and at
tended to in the matter Of better pro-
lection from the severer storms of
this locality. Next.
