Offer to Equity For
Proposed Packing Plant

cial club late yesterday afternoon it
was decided by the club to renew it's
offer OF 100 acres of land for the pro-
posed s1,OO0,OOO Equity packing plant
The club had an option on 100 acres
of land near the city when the Equity
proposition was first put up to this
city, but since then this option has ex-
pired and the land has been sold to a
third party. This necessitates the Sc
curing of an option of other land and
this will be done at once.
Sec. J. P. Hardy was instructed to

PLENTY OF TRUTH IN WORLD
But 1t Is Impossible Unless One
Ignores Fact Long Enough to
Examine Soul, Saws Writer.


A writer in the Atlantic makes use
of the sentence: until the facts are
in their right order there is no truth"
He might have expressed it until the
facts are all in and in their right Or
der" etc., for truth is not directed
from limited facts. Edmund Burke
gave this definition: '"Truth is those
unalterable relations which PrOvi-
dence has ordained that everything
should bear to every other" So it is
not the right order but the number
that expresses the truth. And here is
the fearful dilemma we encounter,
since it is impossible to get all the
facts, for no fact is unrelated, it is
impossible to get at the truth. Human
reason does not reveal it, which eN-
plains why human reason is always
disagreeing about it. There is not a
point in the universe that human rea-
son is solid upon. Then there is no
truth in the world? Yes; plenty Of it
the intuition, the inspiration. the
fruit of the spirit and the voice of the
conscience. But the relation of every
thing to everything, in all time and
eternity and in all the universe, is i'm
possible, and hence truth is impossi-
bic, unless one ignores fact long
enough to ask the soul what it means.

SHAKESPEARE SEIZED IDEAS

The reader now has the fabulous
story Of Macbeth" as it existed when,
by the arrival Of King James in Lon
don there was theatrical value to be
found by Shakespeare in a Scots play.
We have read the story as it existed in

he was born; as it would have existed
until today whether both Shakespeare
and Middleton had lived or not, or
even if there had been no written Eng.

A thought so impressive concerning
Macbeth is to be considered here as
casting intellectual light on our mod
ern attitude toward the entire scrip

cepted by his worshipers that Shake

sion I turned the man over to my
operative and took the first train for
Detroit, where I arrested Denny Down.
er. Downer at once admitted his con-
nection with the robbery, and stated
that Little AL" was Al Perry of Bos-
ton, a noted porch climber and thief.
Downer and Perry were lodged in
the county jail at Wabash, Ind. In
due course both we're put on trial.
They pleaded guilty, and each man re-
ceived a sentence of six years in the
penitentiary at Michigan City, Ind.
Their sentences were made compare
lively light because they pleaded
guilty.
Lumas, who pleaded guilty also, was
used as a witness before the grand
jury against Downer and Perry. AS
he was much younger than the two
men, and inexperienced in crime, and
had, furthermore, been used as tool
by them, sentence on him was sus-
pended.
After the robbery the express COM
pany had offered a reward for the ar
rest and conviction of each OF the
robbers, and when they had been con'
victed Pat O'Neal, the private detec'
tive, filed claim against the COM
pany to recover the money. AS he had
had nothing to do with the arrest or
the conviction, he naturally failed to
obtain it,

I then made my way to Detroit,
where l had an interview with Lumas,
the express messenger. Lumas was a
young man about twenty-six years Of
age, fine in appearance, some six feet
tall, and weighed about one hundred
and eighty pounds. He was born in
Vermont. He had an elder brother
who was a passenger conductor on the
main line of the Wabash railroad, and
had been in the service Of the CON-
pany for many years. This brother
remained In the service continuously
until his death, 30 years later. They
had a widowed mother, who resided
in Vermont Bert, the messenger, had
always lived with his mother until he
took service with the Pacific Express,
and he had an excellent reputation.
So much was told me by Mr. Brace,
superintendent for the Pacific COM
pany Of the Wabash division, with
headquarters at Decatur, ILL.,, whom I
met at Detroit while making my in
vestigations.
"Lumas is in good standing with the
company, and there is no possibility
of his having been in league with the
robbers" said Mr.. Brace, when sug-
gested that Lumas might have been
implicated. why" he continued, you
must remember that Lumas was al
most dead when he was found in his
car at Peru. The robbers undoubtedly
attempted to kill him, and would have
succeeded, too, had it not been for
the timely assistance rendered by the
doctor. Now, if Lumas had been i'm
plicated in the affair in any way, the
robbers would not have attempted his
life"
While still dubious, I appreciated
the stand which Mr.. Brace had taken
on behalf of one Of his subordinates.
1 knew him personally, and he had
reputation for kindness, which was
well deserved. l next interviewed Mr..
Fuller, the general superintendent or
the Pacific Express company, and all
the other officers who would have been
likely to know anything about Lumas.
They all spoke in the highest terms
of Lumas, and Of his brother also. I'm
der these circumstances, l did not deem
it advisable to repeat my statement
as to the possibility of Lumas having
been implicated in the affair, but re-
uuested that Lumas receive instruc-
tons to report to me whenever l
wished to see the messenger. 1t was
also arranged that Lumas should come
to me whenever he was wanted for
the purpose of Identifying any sus-
poets.
next decided to shadow Lumas in
the most thorough manner at both
ends Of his route. placed two OF my
operatives at work for this purpose,
one at indianapolis and the other at
Detroit. The instructions given to the
operative at Detroit were that he
should pick up Lumas when he left
his train at that point, and not lose
sight Of him again until he boarded
his train for Indianapolis. The OPP
crative at Indianapolis was told to
pick up Lumas when he stepped off
his train and to keep him in sight UNI
til he left for Detroit. Thus the ex-
press messenger was kept shadowed
at both ends of his route and this pro-
cedure was kept up for four months,
until every act Of Lumas was known.
The operative at Detroit soon no.

In the month of October, 1883, a
daring train robbery occurred near
the station of Rohan, Ind, on what
was then a part Of the Wabash rail-
road
One of the cars belonging to the
Pacific Express company was at
tached to the Wabash train, which
was running between Detroit and In
dianapolis. It left Detroit in the eve
ming and was due to arrive at the
latter city at about two o'clock the
following morning. When the train
stopped at Rohan it was boarded by
two men, who entered the front door
OF the express car and held up Bert
Lumas, the express messenger. They
stuffed large gag, consisting OF two
handkerchiefs rolled together, into his
mouth, and, after tying another hand
kerchief around his face and fasten-
ing his hands behind his back, they
dashed him with rope to the safe,
which they opened with the keys they
had taken from him. The safe con-
tanned about four thousand five hun
dred dollars besides a quantity OF
jewelry and other valuables. The
two men left the car with their plum
der at some point between Rohan and
Peru, Ind.
When the train halted at Peru the
expressman raped on the car door
and, receiving no reply, called for as
sistance and forced an entrance
Lumas was found lying on his back
unconscious, with his arms and shout
ders tied to the safe. There were
found Indications that a struggle had
occurred, and there were three or
four bullet holes in the side and roof
of the car, the shots having evidently
been fired from within. Medical aid
was summoned, and the doctor, after
considerable trouble, succeeded in re-
storing Lumas to consciousness. He
bore no marks Of violence other than
what he had suffered from the gag,
but this had nearly cost him his life,
as it was so large that it had almost
stopped his breathing.
When he was revived Lumas stated
that as the train was leaving Rohan
he was busy writing out his report,
and while thus engaged he was
bounced upon by two powerful masked
men. They felled him to the floor,
gagged and bound him, took his keys,
end robbed the safe. Lumas said that
he became unconscious during the
course Of this latter operation, and
that he had been surprised so Nnex-
pectedly that he was quite unable to
retain any memory Of the mems ap-
pearance. He added that they had
taken his pistol, which was lying on
the table in front Of him, and fired
several shots at him, none OF which,
however. had hit him.
At this time l was chief special
agent for the Gould system of rail-
roads, which included the Wabash.
On the morning after the hold-up
received Geographic summary Of
these events, and at once went to Ro-
han. was unable to obtain any
further information there, however,
since nobody in the town or at the
station had seen the robbers or had
any knowledge of them. 1t seemed
probable that the robbers had been
lying in hiding and had boarded the
train unobserved, just as it was leav-

Mr.. Furlong, I only received ten

"Lumas, wait a moment until I call
in Mr.. Brace, who is your friend" I
said.
Mr.. Brace, who had heard every
word, was still seated behind the door,
thunderstruck. AS entered the room
I noticed that he appeared almost as
distressed as the messenger. l asked
Mr.. Brace to write down a record Of
the conversation as he remembered it,
and Mr.. Brace did so.
When we emerged into the room in
which the messenger was still seated,
l said:

whom he called Little AL" replied the
man. Il never did know his real

Lumas went on to say that he had
made the acquaintance of Denny
Downer in q saloon in Detroit, and
that Downer evidently knew at the
time that he was an express mes
senger. The two men formed an init
macy, and soon Lumas got into the
habit of drinking with his friend a

to let him know wheel he would be
