TWO BANDITS KILLED IN
 ATTEMPT TO HOLD BY TRAIN

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 3.-Jack Ken nedy of Memphis, alias the Quail Hun ter" an ex-convict, who has served iopg term in the Missouri state peni- tentiary for robbery of a St Louis and San Francisco passenger train, and al unidentified bandit were shot and killed early today near Wittenberg, Mo, Fl what railroad officials here declared was an attempt by gang of or more bandits to rob the mail and express cars of the East St. Louis-Memphis Frisco Train No. SO5, which left St. Louis at 1 g o'clock last night.
 Reports received here conf1icted. One was that a number of pouches of mall and some express matter was obtained while another said that the robbers were driven off before they could enter the mail car.
 The holdup was planned in Memphis about ten days ago, according to post | office inspectors here, who were inform l ed of the plans of the bandits. As a re- suit all night trains in both directions l on the Frisco between Memphis and St. Louis during the past week carried ex- tra guards, heavily armed. According to the original plans, officers said, the holdup was to have taken place :n North Arkansas, but the theft of an au- tomobile which it was planned to use upset the plan. Learning that they were being watched by post office in- spectors the men left Memphis, but we1 traced to Seventy Six, Mo, near where the holdup occurred this morning. Re. 'cently one or more of the band had
 been under constant surveillance. No information as to the method used
 to hold up the train was received by
 Frisco officials here, although they
 were of the opinion dynamiting of tn,
 track near Marshheld, Mo, earlier ],
 the night might have been part of tn,
 plan.
 When the train was stopped near Wit tenberg, Mt, early today according t.
 reports received by Frisco officials, fusillade of shots was fired by the ban dtts. who seemed to be scattered alon the track. This rre was returned b. guards on the train. In the fight whlc
 followed, Kennedy and one of his com . panions were killed instantly. The re
 mainder of the band escaped in an au
 tomobile
 Arrangements previously. had bee made by postofice inspectors to for posses in the neighborhood of Seyent Six, and according to long distance te ephone messages from there this nor ;ng, number of posses were in pu,
 suit of the bandits. .

There should be closer cooperation, par ticularly in the matter of appropriations. between the federal and state govern ments, so that the largest amount avail able from both sources may be obtained, he says.
 The department of agriculture declares that if the prairie dog alone were ex- terminated over its entire range, which ts economically possible. 100000 more cattle and 4,o0O, 900 more sheep could bs raised on that area, because of the tn- crease in the amount of forage.
 Records of the Biological Survey, q brmanch of the department show that in Texas its hunters cooperating with the state agencies, have killed about 2o.o0e predatory animals. aggregating saving of more than S2.700,O0o. Of the total 1 17,s00 wolves and coyotes captured more than half had records as killers.

He watched the vast moving concourse only few minutes and then returned to his study to attend 10 inc duties of the day.
