UP in the northeastern part of he
county the town of Braddock recent
ly turned down the proposition of
Incorporating as village by a close
vote and will continue along in the
same old way. At present there are
three towns incorporated in the
county, Linton as city and Stras-
burg and Hague as villages. 1t is a
peculiar fact that Braddock is the
Oldest town in the county, being es-
tablished at the time the 500 grade
was ironed Since then the inland
town If Williamsport has ceased To
exist and Braddock is the pioneer
town Of the county.
1t is strange thing that every
town where incorporation is at
tempted is the scene of local scrap.
Incorporation rarely carries by more
than MALT dozen majority. How
ever it is seldom that it goes the
other way. No doubt the people Of
Braddnck who voted against the
proposition had good and sufficient
reasons for such action. But. on
the whole. the idea of opposition is
a mistaken one and mistaken views
often tend to defeat the best inter.
ests of the town. Of course, there
is always fly in the ointment, nc
matter what the proposition. City
and village governments are potent
factors for the instigation Of Ioca
factlonal scraps. However, towr

there being benefits. Strasburg. tt

entirely by foreign-born persons

Fight on Jones Shifts to Senate.

Washington, July 10.-President Will
son will make no nominations for the
federal reserve board in place of Pau
Warburg, of New York. until the senate
takes definite action on his name. Mr.
Wilson expects thus to place the re-
sponsibility on the senate for leaving
the board incomplete.
That is the presidents position in his
fight with the senate over Mr.. War
burg's nomination. as expressed today
by officials in his confidence. Mr.. War
burg has finally decided that he will not
appear personally before the banking
committee to be cross examined, and
the president is backing him in that
stand.
The nomination Of Thomas D. Jones
which the banking committee has voted
to report adversely, is in different po-
sition. A fight for his confirmation may
be conducted in minority report.

Ottumwa, July 1O.-The state golf
rowed down today to four players.
Arthur Bartlett. of Ottumwa: Ralph
Rider. Of Des Moines; j. H. Bever, of
Cedar Rapids. and Purdue Sheldon. of
Keokuk. The first two and the last
two were matched in the semi-fna
1t is generally conceded that If Bart
lett, holder of the low score medal for
two years, can eliminate Rider he will
have q good chance of winning the
title, tho neither Rider nor Sheldon will
be an easy opponent
Yesterday Bartlett put Charles
Smith out Of the running after thirty
three holes of thrilling play, in which
the best work of the week was done.
A big gallery. which followed the pair
in spite of the hot sun. was rewarded
by seeing some wonderfully clever
shots.
Cedar Rapids suffered like Ottumwa
in having its two best men pitted
against each other. Bever'S playing
was steadier than that of his team
mate. Terry, and he won by close
count. Sheldon, of keokuk. won from
Carr. Des Moines, and Ralph Rider
literally walked away from Alfred
Peaslee. of Dubuque. winning II up,
8 to play.
Peaslee, who equaled the course
record for eight holes in his match on
Wednesday, went to pieces when op-
posed to the veteran Rider.

g. Texas road, near Matson, Mo-, sixty
miles northwest of ST. Louis. last night
captured a track walker who surprised
them as they were robbing the train
and took him away with them to pre-
vent him spying on their departure.
The train, which left ST. Louis at
s:32 last night for Texas. stopped at
Matson. on the north bank of the Mis-
souri, river at 1O:45. There the bandits
are supposed to have boarded the
train. After the train had gone short
distance from Matson, John Smadley.
the engineer, heard noise behind him
and, turning, looked down the barrels
of two revolvers.

"He told me to stop the train." said
the engineer, and stopped. Then they
told the fireman to run back and un-
couple the train between the last ex-
press car and the first passenger car.
The fireman did as he was told and
the bandits forced the engineer to run
the engine and express cars to a point
near klondyke. on the river banks.
They entered the American Express
car and forced the express messenger,
j. NJ. Nicholson, to stand with his face
to the wall while they blew both doors

When the train first stopped at the
command of the bandits the conductor.
A. L. Mudd, and William Glass, train
auditor, got off to learn the trouble.
: I'VE were greeted with fusilade OF
Shots" said Mudd, "and were told to
stay In the coaches. | thought l saw
five, or six men, but of this I am not
positive"
N. T. Brown, general agent here for
the American Express Company said
there was no shipment of money in tho
express safe but that there were few
packages of jewelry. the value of which
he would not estimate.
Only Two Robbers.
The engineer fireman and express
messenger say there were only two
.robbers. The bandits made no effort to
molest the passengers, whom they
warned to keep inside the cars.
The express messenger refused to
discuss the robbery, saying the rules
of the company enforced silence on
him. So far as known nothing was
taken except the contents of the ex-
press safe. Mudd said he saw several
pieces of jewelry on the express car
after the robbery.
The bandits are thought to have
crossed the river near the scene of the
robbery and to have started south.
Emil Ahmann, constable, said the
train crew told him the bandits car
ried away a sack of silver weighing
fifty pounds
