A. M. WILLIAMS & GO A. M. WILLIAMS & GO THREE DEAD ROBBERS Attempt to Hold Up a Train Frustrated. BY OFFICERS WHO WERE ON BOARD Kobbery Had Been Planned for March 11th--High Water Necessitated a Postponement. Chattanooga, Tenn., Mach 27. At tnnnel No. 9, near Somerset, Ky., about 2 :50 this morning, five robbers boarded an express-car on the Cincinnati South ern road. ,: A fight ensued between them and the trainmen. Two robbers were killed and one captured. The other two escaped to the woods. No trainmen were hart. Greenwood, Ky., March 27. A most daring bat unsuccessful attempt at train-robbery occurred at 2:30 a. m. to day in the southern part of Kentucky, when six men undertook to rob south bound train No. 3, of the Queen & Cres cent. One of the six was killed oat right, one died at 4 o'clock this morning, and the third, giving the name of Miller, lies here severely ' wounded. The- other three escaped. j The train reached Chat tanooga today on time. The reason for this summary disposal of trauwobbers is fonnd in the fact that some tidings of their purpose had been given to railroad or express authorities, and T. R. Griffin, superintendent of police on the Southern road, had with him on the train two trusty assailants. The train had just reached the Bouthj end ot tunnnel No. 9, a mile north of Greenwood, when the robbers signaled it to stop. They had scarcely disclosed their purpose until Griffin and his assailants began offensive operations. In ten minutes three rob bers had bitten dust, the other three had flown, and the train was speeding on its way. . - Chattanooga, March 27. Engineer Tom Springfield, of the train held np by the robbers at the tnnnel, ten miles south of Somerset, Ky., early today, says the train was flagged by a man standing on the track. - When he stopped the train, the man climbed into the cab, pointed a pistol at the engineer, "Stand here till I tell you to go on." Shooting began and the robber left the cab, ordering the engineer to go head. "After the fellow told me to go ahead," said the engineer, "we had gone but a short distance when ' Rankin found a wounded man on the tender. We stopped at Cumberland Falls, four miles from the tunnel, and put him -off, leav ing him in the telegraph office. Ho was badly shot in the arm and said he.waa a tramp stealing a ride, and was not with the train' robbers, but we did not be lieve it." - A telegram from Cumberland Falls says -the third man taken from the en gine has since died. The robbery was planned' for March, 11th, but as the creek was out of its banks the men were afraid they - would be caught, and post poned It. Senator Mitchell's Amendment. . Washington, March 27. The amend ment of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, in serted in the sundry civil bill, may lead to some interesting results and also cause further international complications, sim ilar to those over Behring sea, a4 a part of the appropriation for protecting sal mon' fisheries in' Alaska. There is a provision by which the secretary of the treasury is authorised to send an in spector to investigate and report upon' taxing and destruction of the eggs of wild fowls and the alleged wanton des truction ot game birds, deer, fox and Other animals in Alaska. A report is also asked as to what method should be taken to prevent : such - destruction - in future. It appears the .Canadian poach ers, not content with the destruction of seals, is playing havoc in the wilds of Alaska,' where game birds make nests in the summer and rear their young. These eggs have - been found valuable in the manufacture of certain articles, and are taken by thousand. While poach ers are at work they kill everything that comes along. There has been a percep Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U S. Gov't Report i. t IT vwkv3U" tible fallinz off in the number of came birds on the Pacific coast, and an inves tigation of the causes led to the discovery of this new lorm of poaching. It is be lieved by Senator Mitchell ' that an official report on what the people of the Pacific coast have discovered will lead to legislation to prevent further poaching. A Great Battle at Knslso. Colon, Colombia, March 27. A great battle was fought at Ensiso, March 15, between the government forces, under General Reyes and the rebels. The latter was defeated after a struggle of 10 hours, although 1500 government troops died while on the march. The rebels. who numbered 2500, were routed, and the town captured. The government forces lost 700, and the rebelB 1200. Two thousand rebels surrendered. The steamship' Allianca, of ' the Colombia line, from New York, March 20, arrived here after passing over the usual course.. She was not molected. ' JBngland'a Ultimatam. Washington, March 27. It is claimed by those who are in position to know that there is a misconception of the text of England's ultimatum to Nicaragua. The words said to be contained therein, that "not a citizen of any American re public" shall be selected - as the third member of an arbitration committee to which differences between England and Nicaragua be submittted it i nowstated are meant to apply only to the small re publics of. Central and South America. It was these republics that Great Britain desired to exclude from having a casting vole between the Nicaraguan representa tive and the commissioner chosen by Great Britain. It is explained the En glish foreign office never classifies ' this great government and people with the Spanish and ' Portuguese-speaking South and , Central American - governments. Well-informed diplomats say ; they do not expect any complications will arise from the course - Great Britain will pur sue to enforce settlement of her claim for $75,800 "smart money." It is not believed' resort will be had to the ex treme measure of threatening to bom bard Grey town. If Nicaragua proves her inability to pay at once it is believed the claim will, with other matters, be submitted to arbitration. mm 1M1 Help wanted. $12.00 a day to agents selling the Royal White Metal Plater or taking or dera for plating.'
