II was in 1876 Jack Davis, Tom
Lowrie, Bob Hamilton and perhaps
Frank Clifford attempted to rob the
stage running out of Eureka to Typo.
Typo was then a booming mining
camp with a large monthly payroll.
Stage robbers knew that whenever
there were shotgun messengers
aboard there was also treasure, and
they also knew the messengers. Tom
Lowrie took no active part in the at
tempted robbery. According to pre-
yious arrangement he rode to the top
of Pine mountain, eight miles from
Eureka and only a few miles from
the station where the attempt was
made, and he lit two fires, showing
his confederates that there we're two
messengers on board and plenty of
treasure in Wells Fargos box. Jack
Davis Bob Hamilton and third
party believed to have been Frank
Clifford, went to the station about
an hour before the stage was to
arrive, and bound and gagged it's in
mates three, and quietly waited for
the stage, On the arrival of the
stage, Jack Davis called out, Hold
up your hands, Eugene Blair, one
of the messengers, thinking it was
a josh on the part of the station
hands left his gun on the seat and
stepped to the ground when Jack
Davis grappled with him and threw
him to the ground. 1t was quite
dark. Jim Brown the other messen-
I ger quickly realized it was no josh,
and when he had one foot on the
stage step he reached for his gun
and fired both barrels at the man on
top, filling him with buckshot back OF
the shoulder, many of which shots
reached his lungs AS soon as the
shot was fired Bob Hamilton and the
other man ran away. The station

Harry E. Burnham, of Wa-Keeney,
a senior engineer, was drowned yes
| terday afternoon about o'clock in
| the Kaw river about two miles north
| of Lawrence near the west end of the
island, where the south channel
/ breaks away from the main stream
The body was recovered at 5:45 this
morning
Burnham and Amos Johnson, also
a senior engineer, were returning
from Cameron's Bluff in a canoe. At
the west end of the island Johnson
went in swimming, while Burnham
remained in the canoe. Johnson was
swimming about 200 feet down
stream below the canoe. Happening
/ to glance back toward it he saw
Burnham pitch into the water.
Burnham came to the surface once,
made one or two Intellectual strokes
and then sank. He did not rise again.
As soon as Johnson saw Burnham
fall into the water he swan toward
the bank. The current at that place
is strong, and his progress was diff
cult. When he reached the bank he
ran upstream ana swan to the spot
where Burnham sank. He attempted
to find him, but failed.
A couple passing in a canoe were
hailed by Johnson. At first they paid
no attention to him, so he ran down
stream after them. When they heard
of the accident they went to town
after help while Johnson returned
and continued the search. About Is
minutes had elapsed between the
time Burnham sank and the time
when the canoe passed. All during
this time Johnson searched for Burn
ham.
Help arrived in a short time from
town. Efforts to locate the body
were kept up until O'Clock.
Early this morning a party COM
several others went upstream and
found the body with a grab hook
five minutes after they had reached
the end of the island.
| A sister of Burnham's came to
Lawrence this morning, and his
\ father arrived this afternoon. The
body, now at Smiths undertaking
rooms, will be returned to Wa-Kee-
ney for burial.
! On the way upstream that day
Burnham told johnson he could
l swim. DIR. Naismfth and his inti-
mate friends say he is fair swim
mer. Why he could not remain on
the surface johnson does not know,
but believes that his lungs were filed
/ with water at once, causing strangu-
lation. The current at this place is
strong, and the surface of the water
was covered with choppy waves
| Unfortunately, the canoe did not
overturn- The force of Burnham's s
| fall caused it to shoot over the water
for considerable distance, preclud-
ing any possibility of Burnham's US
ing it to keep himself up
Johnson does not know how Burn
ham happened TO fall into the water.
He had a paddle in his hand, which
he loosened upon falling Burnham
was not very familiar with canoe,
and probably, for some reason, tipped
it by leaning too far. The water is s
| feet deep where the accident occurred.
Burnham worked his way through
the University and still managed to
