ers Are Now at Work
BUTTE, Mont., May ".The two bandits
who thU morning held up the North Coast
Limited at Welch's spur, murdering Engi
neer Frank Clow and wounding Fireman
Thomas Sullivan, thus far have managed
to elude about IS officers scouring the
mountains in the vicinity of the hold-up.
Officers returning tonight from the spur
state that the trail was lost by the prison
dogs on a road leading to Butte, where
the bandits had sprinkled a quantity of
red pepper. The officers have a number
of spar hounds In reserve and early to
morrow1 -morning the hunt will be - re
sumed. It Is the belief the bandits are making
their way to Butte. If they are not already
within the city limits. All passes leading
from the divide where the outlaws are
supposed to be hiding. Into Butte, are be
ing closely watched, stimulus to the ef
forts of the off leers being added by the
announcement this evening of a reward
of 20OO offered by the Northern Pacific
Railway Company for each of the bandits,
whether they be dead or alive.
Scores of officers are on the alert and the
belief Is expressed that with the descrip
tion they have of the robbers furnished by
the wounded fireman and Charles Craw
ford, who was stealing a ride on the
train, that they will soon have the men
in custody if they come to the city.
Bloodhounds on Trail.
Chief of Northern Pacific Detectives R.
H. Goddard arrived t Welch this even
ing with four officers, and with the dogs
will resume the man hunt tomorrow,
confining his search to the main divide
of the Rockies, whose heavy timber and
fastnesses are thought to be sheltering
the desperadoes.
Crawford, the tramp, was brought to
Butte tonight and lodged in jail pending
a further examination by the officers,
who are not quite satisfied that he is
telling the truth. He Is held on suspicion
that he was one of the bandits and be
came frightened when the shooting be
gan, remaining with the train Instead of
flying with the other two.
The officers made an arrest near Wood
vllle this afternoon, but the suspect was
later released as he failed to correspond
to the description given of the outlaws.
.Engineer Clow was shot five times
through the body. The robbers, as they
left the train, fired a number of rounds
at Conductor Culver.
Explosives Identified.
Detective Mdlnerny, who examined the
suit case found, says there were 114 sticks
of SO per cent nitroglycerin .dynamite in
the grip, packed as tightly as it would
fit. This would be more than ten times
as much as was needed for the job. The
powder was In six-inch sticks with the
maker's name on it, and in every way
answered the description of the hundred
pound case lost at the Silver Bow pow
der house. Up to this time no officer
has been able to get a clew to the thief
who stole the powder:
TRA1XROBBERS ARE FOILED
Engineer Loses Life In Saving Pass-
' , ' engers From Destruction.
" BUTTa Mont., May 7. The North Coast
Limited east-bound train of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company was held-up
early this morning by two masked me
near Welch's Spur, a siding 18 miles east
of Butte, and Engineer James Clow shot
dead and Fireman James Sullivan shot
through the arm. Without maklncr an at
tempt to blow up the express car, as was
evidently Intended. the two robbers
iumted from the cab and ran down the
' mountain side, disappearing in a gulch
several hundred yards from the track.
On the tender of the locomotive was
found a telescope grip full of giant
powder. Intended for use In blowing u
the express car. The men boarded the
train presumably at the Butte transfer,
where a locomotive for the Montana di-
vision was attaohel One mile west of
Welch the men crawled over the tender
and with drawn guns commanded Engin
eer Clow to stop the train, which he did.
The engineer rjade no resistance but
' turned on the air brakes and one of
the robbers fired, shooting him. through
the bodv and killing him Instantly. The
other man fired at Sullivan, the bullet
breaking ills arm.
Clow Lost His Life to Save Others.
Had not Clow turned on the brakes, it
is very probable that the robbers woul 1
have entered the express car, as the ror
of the train had drowned the sound of
their shots, but the remainder of the
train crew was aroused by the sudden
stopping of the train and poured out of
the express car, in company with Sheriff
Webb. Seeing that the game was up, tne
thuss fled.
Clow's last heroic act probably saved
hundreds of lives. The grade at Welch's
Spur. Itself on the top of the divide, is
verv steep and the curve incessant. Had
both men in the cab fallen before the
brakes were put on. the express train un
doubtedly would have attained a rate of
speed sufficient to Jump the track and
plunge into the canyon.
When the train stopped. Conductor
Bert Culver and the train crew ran to
the engine, where they found a colored
man. who related the circumstance of
the hold-up. This man said that he had
been stealing a rido and that the man
had offered him a third of the swag if
he would assist them. He said he had
refused and . had taken no part in the
hold-up. The man, however. Is being
held. He says he could identify the
murderers It they should be captured.
The body of Clow was taken to White
hall where an Inquest will be held. Clow
lived at Livingston, where he has a wife
and son. He was S3 years old and had
betn in service with the Northern Pacific
IE vcar.
Bloodhounds on Trail.
herln Henderson, of Butte, with a
uosse left on a train at S o'clock for the
scene of the hold-up. Sheriff Webb, of
Yellowstone County, happened to be on
the train, and with one of the train
crew started on the trail of the hold
up men five minutes after the shooting.
Sheriff Webb trailed the men half a mile,
picking up their masks, and then lost
:tU trace of them. They were later joined
bv Sheriff Center, of Powell County and
y posse from the state penitentiary; R.
H. Goddard. chief of the Northern Pacific
detectives at Livingston: by Deputy
Sheriff James Keown, of Gallatin Couuty,
and by James Latta. of Boseman. The
latter two men were the men who tracked
and oaDtured Ike Gravelle. the man who
tried to force the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company to pay him $50,000 black
mail Bloodhounds from the penitentiary,
being given the gripsack left by the
robbers and their masks to sniff. Imme
diately took a trail leading west and" back
toward Butte. The dogs crossed, the
divide unerringly, but became baffled at
a point north of Homestake, and about
four miles east of Woodvllle. Here, how
ever, after beating the bushes, the posse
happened bv chance upon fresh foot
prints of two men. The trail, once taken,
ran clearly defined to Woodvllle, a station
three miles east of Butte, and the posse
is now scouring the hills just east of the
city. . -
On Rough Mountain Summit.
- The country where the hold-up took
Place Is extremely rough, being six miles
from the summit o the main range of
the Rocky Mountains. It is not settled,
and the trail is not likely to be crossed
bv other men on foot, so that the. blood
hounds will have a fair chance to track
the men. Officers believe that the men
are trying to get back into Butte.
William Powers, aged 34, who says he
came here last week from Sand Point,
Idaho, was arrested near Woodvllle by
the posse at 2:10 o'clock this afternoon.
Powers was unarmed. Asked to explain
his nresence In the hills, he said he meant
to board a train at Woodvllle and beat
his way out of the country. He denies
all knowledge of the murder and hold
up at Welch's, but he was sent Into Butte
by the Sheriffs.
TWO BOYS UNDER ARREST
Suspected of Being Implicated in
Welch Train Robbery. .
HELENA, May 7. A dispatch to
Sheriff Shoemaker here says that the
train robbers of the North Coast Lim
ited have been arrested at Basin, a
few miles from 'Woodville. where they
caught the train. They are mere
youths. . . "
Word, however, was received from
the telegraph operator at Basin late
tonight, saying that a man or men
were taken off the rear trucks of the
Great Northern passenger, which
reaches Helena at 11:30. and that they
got on the train at Woodville, where
the trail of the North Coast robbers
was last seen. , The prisoners were
taken to Boulder. No definite partic
ulars can be learned.
BUTTE, Mont., May 7. Inquiry at
Great Northern offices and of officers
tonight elicited a denial of the report
from Helena of the capture of train
robbers at Basin, north of here.
Clow Had Been There Before.
ST. PAUL. May 7. Engineer Crow, who
was killed by holdup men on the North
ern Pacific Limited train this morning,
was upon the Burlington engine drawing
train No. 8 on that line on February 26,
1S03, when Geo. Cole and James Howard
held up the train six miles east of Butte.
Three robbers blew open the safe In the
express car and secured $3.75, The rob
bers were caught two days later and
confessed. Cole was sentenced to 20
years and Howard to 30 years in the Deer
Lodge Penitentiary.
RED CMIM OF GRIME
ABERDEEN AROUSED AT FRE
QUENCY OF FOIL MIRDEKS.
Men Given Knockout -'Drops In Bad
. Lands, Robbed and Dumped
Into Bay.
ABERDEEN, Wash., May .7. (Special.)
Coroner .Girard, in a statement tonight
says: '
I am thoroughly convinced that the men
whc?e bodies have been found in the waters
of Gray's Harbor were given knockout drops
In the dives of this city and then thrown
Into the bay. Until such times as the
worthless element, which subsists by virtue
of the earnings of fallen women. Is cleaned
out, we may expect to find floaters almost
dally.
Mr. Girard had refrained from making
a statement as to his suspicions until he
had investigated local conditions. At
the police station a few nights ago Coro
ner Girard and Prosecuting Attorney
Boner were informed that the police had
picked up a man who was found in the
street in an unconscious condition. The
man was taken to the City Jail and for
24 hours was in such condition that tie
could not be released. He said he had
$100 in his purse when he went "down the
line.V but that after having taken one
drink at a saloon, he became unconscious.
His money was gone. In his pocket was
found a bank book showing he had $7C3
on deposit. The man had been drugged
and robbed.
In conversation with a local physician,
Mr. Girard was informed that the doctor
had been called a few days ago to at
tend a man who undoubtedly had been
given a dose of chloral. The knockout
drops were administered in a down-town
dive.
"There is no longer any doubt In my
mind that several of the men whose
bodies have been recovered from the bay
were given knockout drops and thrown
overboard." said the Coroner this morn
ing. "It has become almost a daily oc
currence to take a floater from the water
and the number of violent deaths indi
cates a local condition of affairs which
calls for the most vigorous action on the
part of the authorities."
There is much indignation among the
business men tonight, and there is talk
of raising a private fund to investigate
the causes of so many deaths.
The two latest victims were burled to
day and it is concluded there will be no
further action taken in the matter of in
quests. Acting Sheriff Anstie and Con
stable Dean have taken up the inquiry
where the Coroner left off.

Maniac Kills Six Persons With

CLAIMS HE WAS WORRIED
Head of San Francisco Household
Disregarded Warning Demented
Carpenter Makes in Letter
With Horrible Results.
SAN FHANCISCO. May 7. Walter C.
Davis, a carpenter, in a fit of insanity to
day shot and killed a family of three,
with whom he resided, and three- other
persons at 414 Pierce street, this city.
The dead are:
Orson R. Bush, aged 57, his wife and
their young son.
W. S. Bear, a carpenter, with relatives
in St. Louis and Denver.
M. E. Vinton, a surveyor, recently from
New York.
" Mrs. Lillian D. Carothers. an elderly
woman,, who boarded in the house.
- Davis and Tris victims all resided In the
house, which was conducted as a board
ing house by the Bush family.
- Davis' homo was in Farmerville, near
Visalia, this, state, where he has a wife
and six children. He has been working
here as a carpenter since the fire.
The shooting was done with a double
barrelled shotgun. Davis, who slept In
the same room with young Bush and
Beard, arose shortly after 5 o'clock, and
after arming himself with the gun, shot
his two room-mates and then visited
each room In turn, killing the occupants.
Fancied Would Be Killed.
He fancied that the people in this house
had formed a plot to kill him and take
his money. The shots attracted a large
crowd and a rush was made upon Davis
as he was attempting to reload his
weapon and he was overpowered and
turned over to the police, by whom he
was taken tc the detention ward of the
hospital. The bodies of his victims were
taken to the morgue.
One1 lodger in the house escaped. She
was a young girl of 17. Davis pointed the
gun at her and was prepared to shoot
when he said she resembled his daughter,
so he spared her life.
After killing Bush and Beard, the
maniac took a box of shells from a
shelf and walked down the hallway,
where he met Mrs. Lillian D. Carothers,
an elderly woman, who had heard the
tirst two shots and had come to- her
doorway to find out what was the mat
ter. He shot hor and with the remain
ing shell killed Mrs. Orson Bush.
M. E. Vinton, a Government sur
veyor, who came here from New York,
was killed as he lay in bed.
Bush Fights ( for Life.
Orson Bush, senior, was a tallyman
in the employ of the Dleckman Lum
ber Company, and had got up early in
order to prepare his coffee before going
to the mill. He heard the shooting and
rushed upstairs, where he was met
by Davis. The appearance of the hall
way indicates that Bush made a des
perate fight for his life. His body was
found as it had fallen in the head of
the stairs. Seventeen-year-old Annie
Bush came running into the hallway,
and w-as met by Davis, his shotgun still
clutched in his hands. She was too
dazed to speak or move and could only
stare at the murderer.
- Davis pointed his gun fairly at her
head, but as she stood mutely before
him the madman faltered, his hands
trembled and when the girl found pres
ence of mind to plead, "Don't kill me,"
the gun dropped from Davis' hands and
he said: "I can't do it; you're a good
girl. Besides, you look like my own
child, and I would see her face if I
killed you."
Picking: ud his eun. Davis then walked
down to the kitchen. He wandered aim
lessly around the house until the turning
of a key in the front door attracted his
attention. He rushed forward, prepared
for another emergency.
Policeman Makes Escape.
Officer Fred J. Staegllch was walking
on Pierce street, between Fell and Oak,
when he heard the sound of two shots.
He1 rushed up Pierce street and opened
the door leading to flat No. 441. He
was met by Davis, .who pointed his shot
gun full at the policeman's breast' and
told him that he too should die. The po
liceman made his escape and met Police
man , Thomas E. Bolger, and the two
made a second attempt to capture Davis.
They were unsuccessful, and a riot call
was turned In.
Corporal Ferguson and six officers re
sponded in an automobile. Staegllch and
J.- Quigley. a flagpole climber, engaged
Davis in conversation while Ferguson and
Policeman Lewis got behind him ana
pinioned his arms. The murderer put up
a terrific battle, during which Ferguson
was bitten on the hand., but Davis was
finally captured and removed to the de
tention hospital.
Dazed In Prison.
When the police got the murderer
to the detention hospital fie was placed
In a strait-jacket and put into a cell.
He seemed to be dazed, and had no
realization of what he had done, and
merely said that he had been worried.
Mr. Bush received a note last Sun
day from Davis, which gave a premoni
tion of the tragedy of this morning. They
were warned that the man might do
them harm. . .. This Is the note.:
"You have killed my sons and my
nephews, but you haven't all of them yet.
You expected to kill xne tonight. Perhaps
I'll kill myself."

LILLIAN RUSSELL COMMENTS ON THE
RECENT MARRIAGE OF ELLEN TERRY
Famous Stage Beauty, Who Is Only 45, by the Way, Discusses Matrimony
and Tells Why She Left Comic Opera Stages Crown.
Princess of Good Fellows.
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
ft MERICA'S most famous beauty sat
r in the wings Monday night and
made herself agreeable. It wasn't diffi
cult for Lillian Russell s crown princess
in the realm of feminine good-fellowship.
She Is by nature as free from affectation
as she is beautiful. There is none of
the pomp and circumstance surrounding
Miss Russell, which some of the stars
seem to think necessary to make sure
their calling and election as top-notchers.
Success has never gone to her head
and because she is democratic and sen
sible and agreeable under all circum
stances the members' of her company de
clare she Is the most delightful person
they could wish to be associated with.
This view concerning her charm of per
sonality is shared in by all who come
under the spell of this remarkable wom
an. Having been an idol of th.e public
for more than, a quarter of a. century the
acclaim of the mob has become an old
story with Lillian Russell. ' She Is far
too sensible and clever to undertake the
proud and haughty pose that might be
expected of a less well-balanced woman.
Then she has the saving grace of humor
and that rare quality helps her to see the
true relation of things.
It was during a performance of "The
Butterfly" that I formed one of a little
group with Miss Russell as the center.
She did most of. the talking and ad
dressed herself generally to the party
which didn't suit me, for I wanted to
interview her, and no matter how inter-,
estlng her talk was it seemed necessary
for me to get her centered upon her
own affairs in which the public Is inter
ested somewhat.
"No, really I'm not going to be married
again soon," she might have said but
didn't. I hadn't the nerve to ask her
leading questions concerning possible fu
ture matrimonial ventures. You see she
is something of an authority on marry
ing and giving in marriage and an inter
view with her wouldn't be at all the prop
er thing without some reference to wed
ding bells and decrees and the like. In
order to avoid being too personal I
asked her what she thought of Ellen
Terry, England's chief actress, aged 59.
marrying young Carew, leading man,
aged 32.
"I suppose Miss Terry wanted some
one to get up -end build the Are In the
mornings. Or. possibly she wanted to
show the younger debutantes how
neglectful they -were in allowing eligi
ble bachelors to waste all 'their time
at the clubs." .This mtght not have
been Miss Russell's exact language, but
it was something like that. But she
did continue:
"I. don't know Mr. Carew, but undar
stand he is quite a fine young man
He played leading parts with Maxine
Elliott in London two years ago dur
ing the run of "Her Own Way." and
became one of the favorites of the
British stage. Recently he joined Miss
Terry's company and is now her lead
ing man. Miss Terry is old enough to

the marriage will be a -success."
"As for myself? -Well, I'm in love
with acting and having separated from
comic opera am devoting all my at
tention to my work in "The Butterfly"
and other comedies which I expect to
play. My new career as a eomedienne
without musical accompaniment en
grosses all my time. Next, season I
am going to have, a new play by George
Broadhurst and .George Hobart. I don't
know the name of it yet, and doubt if
they do. .It will be put on in New York
during the Autumn months.
"How cMd I come to 'leave comic
opera after so long being identified
with it? Simply because, I was bored
to .death with it and have always had
an ambition to play the old English
comedies. I'm working toward them
now.
"Such roles as Lady. Teazle and Kate
Hardcastle have always had a great
attraction for me, and I'm going to
play them soon. Maybq not for a -year
or so. but as soon as I can.

tle hope for the interviewer, unless he's
writing railroad' folders, so I felt that
It was lucky when Miss Russell's cue
came and she went out into the cal
cium to lift the second act out of its
boots.
"There is always a heated discus
sion every time Lillian Russell's name
is mentioned concerning the. lady's age.
A friend of mine stoutly avers that she
is over 60 and I've heard people main
tain that she made- her debut about
the time Lee surrendered at Appomat
tox. This . is manifestly unfair, to the
lady, who looks like the early 30s
both on and . off the stage. As a mat
ter of fact she was born in Clinton,
Iowa,., in December, J1861.
"Figure it out for yourself and you'll
see that she is -45' years . old. Her
maiden name was Leonard, her father
being editor of a country weekly pa
per and her mother a noted woman's
rights advocate. Her parents moved
to Chicago In the latter 80s and Lillian
was educated In a convent, r She after
wards sang in . church choirs and stu
died the 'violin. Her first stage ap
pearance was in 1879 in Rice's "Pina

for two months and ;then she con
tracted one of her marriages and re
tired to private life. Soon, however,
she returned to the stage, singing bal
lads at Tony Pastor's. '
"She made her first big success "in
the McCaull Opera Company singing
the leading role in a piece called 'The
Snake Charmer.' Since . then she- has
been a person Vf much importance.
