ROBBERS
Attempted Hold-Up of Rock
Island Train Proves -Failure.
SCARED BY RESISTANCE
Conductor Murray Knocks Kevolver
From Robber's Hand, and Gang
Flees After Stopping Heavily-Loaded
Train..
PEORIA, 111., Sept. 14. Four masked
men attempted to hold up passenger
train 311 on the Rock Island Railroad
one and a half miles north of Peoria to
night at 10 o'clock. But for the presence
of mind cf Conductor Murray, who dis
armed one of the men after being
struck on the head, the passengers
would have been robbed. There were
about 75 persons on the train, whlhc
left Chicago at 6 o'clock.
Sheriff Potter and a force of depu
ties and Peoria police are searching
the woods near the scene.
The would-be robbers placed an ob
struction of railroad ties on the track
and brought the train to a standstill.
They then, at the muzzle of revolvers,
commanded the engineer and fireman
to remain on the engine. Running back
to the front end of the smoker, they
mounted the platform with drawn re
volvers. Conductor Robert Murray met them
at the door. One of the bandits pushed
a pistol into his face. He struck the
weapon up and knocked it from the
man's hand. He was struck over the
wrist and the head with a club, but the
robbers became alarmed at his unex
pected resistance and fled.
The men are described a. being about
25 or 30 years of age and of slight build.
All wore masks, but evidently were
amateurs at the business.
. Many of the passengers were women
and children. One traveling man, repre
senting a Peoria brewery, had on his
person $3500 as the result of a day's
collections, and sat near the front end
of the smoker.
BETTER WAR THAN DESPOT
Kobel General Says Cubans AVant
Liberty, Xot Intervention.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. The World to
Bay prints the following message which
Its correspondent with the insurgents in
Santa Clara Province cables he has re
ceived from General Guzman:
"Headquarters In the Field, Central
Adrieta Plantation, near Cruces, Santa
Clara Province, September 11, 1906 To
the American People: Difficulties have
arisen among us, questions of liberty,
and of law or peace. We do not ask
for sympathy: we ask only an open field
nun wo uitLy seme w i in li imiia ana lor
Cubans the Issues that we have Joined.
"There has come a time in the history
of this Republic when the only way to
secure a permanent and righteous peace,
safe In guaranteed constitutional liber
ties, is by war.
"Under the empty name of a Republic
the shackles of overthrown Spanish do
minion have again been imposed upon us.
Our constitution has been cast aside with
contemptuous egotism, the royal laws of
the ancient regime have been revived
and Issued to us with the very forms
and words of the royal Spanish decrees.
Absolutism was again fastening itself
upon Cuba, and in the more dangerous
guise and formulas of a republican sys
tem that was but the shell of democratic
Ideals. .
"It has become necessary to resort to
arms not for wax. If it can possibly be
avoided, 'but as a demonstration before
the court of last resort, that the spirit
which for a century has fought- against
royal oppression still endures and will
suffer again the hardships of campaigns
rather than yield the fruits of hard-won
liberties. By a vast majority Cuba is
with us.
"If the present administration in Ha
vana so chooses it will be war no
longer.
"Shall we be tricked by commissioners
from Palma ana armistices whose legal
ity and validity he then denies?
"The Intervention of the United States
we do not wish. This is our own Cuban
question; a question of our rights and
liberties that we ourselves must settle.
And in considering the question we ask
consideration of the fact that It is one
fraught with more consequence to Cuba
than momentary commercial loss or
gain. -
"The rights and properties of Ameri
cans will be respected by our forces.
"That all In Cuba will suffer as the
result of the depression due to war Is
unfortunate and inevitable, but it is the
Cubans, our countrymen, who will suffer
most, and with their patriotism they are
gladly accepting the sacrifice; for out of
it will emerge the firmer rights and ab
solute liberties of real constitutional gov
ernment. "To those Americans who believe In the
liberties of all peoples and that right and
Justice should triumph, even over peace,
we present our cause and ask their sym
pathy. "EcJuardo Guzman. General Jefe de la
Division de las Villas.

AN INVITATION AND A FEW INTERESTING FACTS
The Portland Brewing Co. has made the largest percentage of gain in sales during the past six months of any Brewery on the Pacific Coast. Taken under the new management on March 14th
last, the Brewery will be running full capacity within the fiscal year. A recommendation that illustrates fully the excellent quality of the beer.
We have set aside tomorrow between the hours of 1 and 5 P. M. to have our friends call and inspect the Brewery; in fact, we are always pleased, to have the general public call at all times.
It is our intention to make EDEL BRAU, which is the brand of our beer, a family password by keeping the quality just a little better than the majority of beers offered on thi3 market. It is
brewed a mild stimulant, the best natural tonic for convalescents, and an excellent friend to those delicious Dtch suppers so often participated in after the theater. ,
You can have the bottle beer delivered to your home direct from the brewery if you so prefer it. If you have not already received a sample, please telephone us for one. Main 708.
