LONE BANDIT HOLDS
UP TRAIN; ESCAPES

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. l6.-A
lone bandit who boarded a Pullman
car Of st. Louis 6 San Francisco pas
senger train No. Ill, known as the Me
teor, at the Union station here tonight,
held up four of the passengers on the
car soon after the train left this city
at 10 clock for Oklahoma and Texas.
The robber escaped by jumping from
the train.
The bandit had purchased railroad
aud Pullman tickets and entered the
train as a regular passenger. The train
had passed scarcely beyond the limits
Of this city when suddenly the man
stood up, and, flourishing his pistol
demanded that the other passengers in
the car give him their money and val
uables.
The passengers in compliance with
his demand held up their hands and
four men readily surrendered their pock,
etbooks containing $106. The man
evidently intended to rob all the pas,
sengers in the car and probably had
planned to enter other coaches, but be
became startled when he discovered
that one of the passengers at the end
of the car had disappeared while his
attention was concentrated on pocket
ing the money be had received. The
bandit backed out Of the coach, and
hurrying through another car, came to
platform from which he jumped to
the ground. The trainmen telegraphed ID
a report Of the robbery back to the
local police, but late tonight no trace
Of the bandit had been found.

Three engagements between rebel
followers OF Zapata md government
troops were fought today along line
which extended for three.quarters OF
the distance about the Mexican CAPT

One fight was just beyond Guada

outside of Mexico City, in which TWEEN
ty-six rebels were killed. Another oc-
CURED beyond Atzcapotcnlco, resulting
in the killing of eighteen rebels. The
third engagement occurred near Mllpa
Alta, but the losses there were not
given.
The government forces are driving
the rebels back.
OF the fights registered, one was to
the northeast, one to the northwest and
one TO the southeast Of the capital. In
the battle near Milpa Alta a rebel
force numbering more than 1000 men
stood off greatly inferior force un-
der Captain Pedro Ojeda, son of Gen
eral Ojeda, the federal commander at
Guayas. Captain Ojeda was hemmed
in and dispatched small escort for
more ammunition. The escort and the
ammunition were captured by the reb

ly Strengthened out, the states affairs
will soon be in such a snarl that it will

THINKS HE HAS MADE
PHONOCRAPH PERFECT

Perhaps Salt Lake inventor will
realize the dreams of some Of the mas
ter minds in the field of invention, in
cluding the great Thomas A Edison.
Perhaps a Salt Lake man, still in his
youth, will perfect the phonogrhph.
Those who have heard the marvellous
phonogrnph invented, patented and
built by Frederick La Roche, q quiet
but determined young man who has
been working out his dream, the con.
ception of which was from the sound
ing qualities of the violin, almost I'M
known to anyone, are inclined to pre-.
dict that this dream will come true
soon.
A few people in Salt Lake City have
had the pleasure of hearing a concert
on one OF La Roche's machines which
lie has In his modest little workshop al
ll2 South Second East street. They
have gone away marveling. For there
they heard the violin, the piano, the pic
colo, the flute, the accordion, the banjo
orchestra. bands, the harp, the male and
the female voice reproduced in almost
startling reality,
La Roche's machine has seemingl,
eliminated the greatest fault Of tho
phonograph, the metallic sound thai
gives many instruments and the human
voice, particularly that of woman
singer, an unnatural tone. His ono re
producer faithfully reproduces the sounC
waves Of every kind of an instrument
and the human voice in either converse
tion or singing.
When tho inventor was visited by
Tribune reporter yesterday he wa!
rather reticent. He explained that hi
had avoided publicity until he wa:
sure of what he could do. He sale
that he still hoped to further perfect
his phonograph. that he realized HI
was working in competition with som'
of the keenest inventive mind in thu
world, and that he didn It want to make
any idle boasts.
But he consented to play his ma

MEXICANS ALMOST
FRIENDLY TO LIND

MEXICO CITY, Aug. l6.-hxGov-
ernor John Lind and his mission in
Mexico City serve to fill several col
umns Of the local newspapers today,
but so far as he or the Mexican gov
ernment were concerned, 1t was case
of merely marking time.
Mr.. Lind is waiting for the Mexican
government to make the next move,
and there prevails the opinion III the
capital that Provisional President Huer
ia will not delay his reply to Presi"
dent Wilson IS message later than Tues
day or Wednesday.
It is known that the Mexican govern
ment officials are considering the prop
osition, but the public generally pro-
fesses to believe that General Huerta
will reject any proposal which might
be construed as interference.
The idea of mediation by commits
sion representing the Sosth American
Mexican mind than the one represent
ing solely the United States,
The newspapers of Mexico City be-
tray editorially and in their news col
umns their bitterness towards the
United States. This is emphasized by
caricatures published of Mr.. Lind,
"Uncle Sam" and DR.. William Bayard
Hale, but toward Mr.. Lind personally
there is manifested a feeling that is
almost friendly. The public and Off
cials appear to have conceived for him
a personal liking which is reflected in
the newspapers.
Mr.. Lind remains wholly uncommu-
nicative to the public, however, being
fixed in his determination not to- dis
cuss politics with unofficial Mexicans.
He spent the entire day at the United
States consulate reading and writing,
but aside from his communications
with Washington he appeared to have
done nothing further in the conduct of
his mission.
