LONE BANDIT HELD UP AND BOBBED NORTHERN : PACIFIC PASSENGER TRAIN - - Engineer Grappled, with 'him and was Shot Dead Chicago Young Woman Captured a Thief : - Other News. ' Butte, Mont., Oct. 24. One of the most daring train robberies-in the history of the Northern Pacific Railroad occurred early this morn ing at a lonely spot known as Mul- key Canyon three and a half miles west of Drummondj Mont., So far as known, but one man was en gagad in the attempt to rifle the express safe. That one man seemed to be a ho3t in himself, when he killed the engineer, cooped up a whole train and an entire train- load of passengers, and kept three men at work obeying orders.. En gineer Daniel u 'JNeil was shot in the abdomen and killed 'when he grappled with the desperado, who had covered him with two revolv ers. ' lhis train was known as the North Coast ' Limited, and is- the finest train on the Northern Pacific system. This is the fist time it has ever been held up. Single-handed, " the . desperado captured two cars, the express mes senger, the electrician of the trail and the postal clerk, and went about his task of rifling the mails and at tempting to blow up the safe in the express car with as much coolness and nerve aB if engaged in enter taining ctrmpany. It i3 believed that the robber boarded the train at the water tank, which is located about three hnndred feet .west of Bearm.outh, where a stop was made for .water.- Just after the train pass ed through Bsarmouth statioo. where no stop is made, the fireman started to put in a fire. It was then . the. hold-up occurred. ;s' C Re ports are connicting as to the num ber of men ' engaged in the rob bery. The firemen, mail clerk and express messenger say they eaw but one man, who did all the work and all the Ehootiog'. The conductor and passengers insist there were men at least engaged in Jhe hold up. 1 he robber, or robbers mada little by the ! desperate deed. The charge of dynamite failed to open the safe in the express car, and the postal authorities- stats that the contents of the registered packages amounted to but a small sum. Had the train going the other way been selected, the booty, it is believ ed would have been rich, as that train is accustomed to carry much treasure. : : ;' v. ' ' The train had left Baafmouth and as the fireman turned to gather a ecoopful of coil, he was startled to hear a yell, and turning around found a man standing on the coal pointing.two big revolvers at his head. - . "Throw up your hands," shouted the man, elevating his voice to ov ercome the roar of the train. "Throw up and obey my orders and you won't' get hurt." The man slid down the coal onto the engine deck,' and forced the fire man against the left seat of the cab. He covered the,e igiaeer with one le volver and ordered him to throw up his hands. . "You mind what'I say," said he to the engineer, "if you -don't NI'll blow your head off." Then the robber turned to the fire man and commanded: "The first thing you do, go out and put out that headlight, and be quick about it and mind you come back here." . . - The fireman lost no: time in obey ing the order, and was returning to the cab when he 'heard a shot fired, and peered in just in time to see the engineer falling backwards out of the gangway to the ground alongside of the engine. - Justbe fore the shot, he had heard O'Neil say, "Well if you've got tatfoit you might as well do it here as any place." . ; .. Just then steam " was shut off, and the .brakes applied and the train came to a stop in the Mulkey canyon. JiBgineer O Neilr it 6eems, etepped from his seat, and in doing so overturned his lantern which was set below him y-Immediately he grappled with the robber and : tried to overpower him. The man re leased himself, and placing the big revolver almost against the engin eer's abdomen, fired.O'Neil gave a groan and fell to the giound out side. ' The fireman was frightened and. jumped rrom tne running board to the ground, and hid himself until what followed was over. The rob ber went from the engine to the ex press car, and at that instant the passengers began poking their heads oui oi tne car windows. Immedi 4- 1 . l r 1 1 . - .. , ernuiv mora lunowea a iusua,ae o snots, which speedily sent the frightened passengers back into the coacnes, . - Ihe robber pounded on the door of the express car and demanded that it be opened. : When no atten tion was paid, hethreatened to blow it open. The t wo men inside op ened the door to find themselves facing two bis guns. Both were ordered out of the car and marched back to the eneine. , Rnt.h nlaim? to know nothing about, starting up, ana tne robber tried himself to but failed. The two men were then forced back to the tender, and ord ered to uncouple the rengine from the train. This they-were unable to do. They were then ordered back to the express car, where the robber tried to blow oen the big eaie wnn a light charge of dynamite, ihiB failed, and 15 sticks of dyna mite were placed in the next charge. The outer safe bf the door was blown i open. and , another ' charge of la eticks of dynamite wa9 used in an attempt to force the inner door. This charge blew the express car to pieces. 1 he roof was blown off and one end f the' car was" practically demolished. "The concussion put out the lights in the mail car at the forward end, and the jar was felt all through the train. jMaUClerk C. W. Otis refused to open the door until threatened with dynamite. Once in the mail nar, he went to work on the registered mail pouches, which he forced the man to open. The packages were handed to him, and with the ut most coolness the fellow took a seat and opened the first package, and then another;' using his gun to break them. - Therewas one pouch from Portland to St. Paul, one from TacOma to Washington, one from Taeoma to. Chicago, and . one from Tacoma to New York. c During all the time he. was his . prisoners, J he kept up a with run- ning talk and joked with the crew over his poor success in getting valuable plunder. Two or three times he expressed regret at havr ing been forced to kill the engineer, whom he characterized as foolish for trying to resist. : The robber declared: ; ' "If anybody wants to know who I am, tell 'em I'm the same feller thatheid up the Southern Pacific out at Portland last fall." Only a meager description of the dare devil robber could be obtai' nfd. He is described as a small man not over 5 feet four inches in height and weighing lees than lbu pounds ne was neavny masKea, and wore a peculiar shaped cap, : which he pulled down over his face and neck. The only distinguishable portion of his clothing was a pair of overalls of dark color. . Bloodhounds from the state pen itentiary have been put on his trail. The Northern Pacific today posted notices ot oUUU reward for the cap tc re of the robber or robbers dead or alive. Officers believe that the outlaws are headed north and that capture will soon be effected, settlers, however, who know country, and its roughness Old the say there is little likelihood of the men being captured in the mountains. as this section of the country is a veritable hole-in-the-wall arid wild and thickly timbered. . Chicago, Oct. 18. Miss Mary Cull to-day chased a thief two blocks through crowded thorough fares, overtook him, knocked him down, and then sat on him till a policeman arrived.": " Miss Cu!l cairied a purse con taining $20 and the thief seized it and ran. She dropped her packages and started in pursuit The theif took the middle of the street between the car tracks. Hundreds of persons who saw' the chase stood in wonder at the speed exhibited by the young woman. She gained -on the robber at every jump. Soon she overtook the man and began pum meling him. The robber was to weary to fight-back, -and a blow from the girl's fist sent him to the ground. , '. I was a long-distance Tunner in Sacred Heart Convent, in St Louis," she explained. could have gone five more blocks."

' News. Salem, Oct, 26. rSpeciall Judge .Burnett's decision in the hop cases pesteraay nas been almost the ex clusive topic in crop circles since the decision became known. As said by one dealer last evening. ibis decision puts a stop to all con tracting on the plan -y. regarding which the decision .was rendered It has been learned since the decis ion was handed down " that several attorneys in this city have advised their clients, who were interested either as; buyers or growera: that the contracts would not stand if tested in the courts. . A number of groweri were on the point of mak ing contests, but finally decided to deliver the hops instead of entering into litigation. -.' ' The feature of the contracts which makes them unenforcible as contra cts of sale, is that theyare one-sided As Judge Burnett said in his opion ion, the buver is at liberty to take the hops or not as he may choose, and, therefore, the contracts lack the mutuality which is essential to a sale. The grower agrees to deliver, but the buyer does not agree to re ceive unless he wishes. As the contracts also provide for advance for picking-money, for which a lien was to be had upon the jhops, the coatracts are v held to be chattel mortgages only. . ' This decision will make it neces sary ioi aeaier3 io draw up a new form of contract, which will not be open to the objection that it ia one sided. It is not known whether the cases decided yeEterdaywill be "ap pealed, but a- prominent dealer said last evening that if other grow ers refuse to deliver the ' hops as agreed, suits will ha brought, and if the contracts are held inorpera tive as contracts of sales, appeals will be taken to the Supreme Court. lae dealers have so much at stake that they cannot give up until they have taken their cases to the court of last resort. - - ' ' - Londbn, Oct 25.

One of the rarest operations known to surgery the sewing up of a severed ven tricle of a human heart has been performed at Bellevue Hospital. The patient was Annie Kingsley, who was stabbed by her husband during a quarrel on the etieet. She was thought to be dying when the ambulance reached the hospital. The blood was pouring from a long wound in the left ventricle, which eupplies the body with blood. while the right pumps to the lunge The surgeons knew that the flow must be checked at once if the woman was to be saved. ' The operation was decided uponi It was performed by two surgeons, with i5 more looking on. The heart was laid bare and the surge ons saw that the wound" was - very severe.
