BUFFALO BILL HAS
GENUINE TRAIN WITH HIM
Among the new and varied scenes
which will be depicted with Buffalo
Jill's Wild West is one showing the
various stages of far western develop
ment and "the great train holdup."
The depredations of train-robbing out
laws have been a constant menace to
tho advance of civilization in the set
tlement of the prairies. With the ad
vance of time their occupation has been
made so hazardous through the vigi
lance of railroad officials and the meth
ods employed for their capture and
punishment that train holdups aro now,
fortunately, few and far between. Along
tho line of the Union Pacific and its
tributary roads, train-robbing has be
come almost a thing of the past. This
state of affairs has been brought about
by the good work of the ' bandit hunt
ers of tho Union Pacific," a body of
men experienced in "roughing it" and
familiar with men aud country where
bandits were wont to thrive. These
avengers of lawlessness are provided
with a special car, in which thoir horses
are stabled, ammunition is stored and
all is held in readiness for immediate
action in case of need.
Has Real Train.
Colonel Cody has prepared for his
wild west exhibition a reproduction of
one of the typical train holdups which
wero formerly a frequent occurrence.
Science has provided him with a prac
tical train ,drawn by a practical en
gine, and tho scene painter has created
a rugged mountain Bceuo in which to
present the melodrama. The maneuvers
of the bandits in stopping and robbing
the train aro shown in detail and the
arrival of the "bandit hunters of the
Union Pacific" gives an idea of the
quick vengeance which is meted out to
tho lawless in the still sparsely settled
west. Coincident with presentations of
"the great train holdup" will be shown
"the battle of Summit Springs," as
tho chief feature with tho wild west.
Thero will also bo shown "a holiday
at T-E ranch," in which the life of
tho plainsman is reflected, and the dan
gers attendant upon pioneering will be
set forth graphically in "tho attack on
an emigrant train." These western
scones will form only a part of Buf
falo Bill's entertainment; there will be
rough riding, military displays and ex
hibitions of horsemanship which nre
shown in no other entertainment now
before the amusement-loving public.
SHERIFF AFTER MAN

ing the surrounding country today look

MAJOR GENERAL LUARD
DIES BY OWN HAND
LONDON, Sept. 19. Unable to bear
any longer the veiled accusation that
he had killed his wife, whose body was
found shot through the head in a lane
at Seven Oaks, August 24, Major Gen
oral Charles Edwards Luard is belioved
to have thrown himself in front of a
train on the Southeastern railroad yes
terday. Major General Luard 't body was
found literally ground to a pulp near
his home. All the circumstances point
to the theory that the famous army
officer committed suicide.
Tho coroner 'sjury that had been call
ed to investigate tho death of Mrs.
Luard adjourned Thursday afternoon,
September 23, without having reached
any deeisiou. It was intimated by the
officers in tho case that tho murders
would bo arrested before tho coroner's
jury was together again.
Luard is thought to have belioved
that ho would bo accused of the mur
der of his wife. Ho left a note declar
ing that ho could no longer bear the
strain of the accusation. The note was
found at his home.
Tho murder of Mrs. Luard was ono
of the mysteries of Loudon. The gen
eral and his wife wore walking through
a lane in the evening, and Mrs. Luard
complained of feeling badly and start
ed back home. She had not gone far
when she was killed by a rifle shot.
A crosseyed hoppicker was arrest
ed by Scotland Yard detectives, but was
afterwards released. No motivo han :
ever been advanced for tho possible
killing of Mrs. Luard by her husband

KENNETT, Cal., Sept. 17. Kennett
has experienced its first instalment of
winter. The complete change of weath

month.

fall of tho season. It was not suffi
cient to lay tho dust for any length

showers and unless warm weather fol
lows soon the Tokay grapo crop will
be damaged very much.
