law Captured.
Omaha, Aug. 31. A special to the
Bee from Gothenburg, Kebraska, says:
Last night shortly after midnight the
east bound overland flyer, No 8, on the
Union Pacific, was held up at Buttermilk
hill, about two miles this side of Brady
Island, where the sand hills terminate.
" There were three men visible according
to Conductor Flynn's description. Two
of the gang got on the train at Brady
island, going forward over the tender
after the train was in motion, and with
revolvers drawn compelled the engineer
to go back to the baggage car and gain
admittance. He informed the baggage
man they were held up and the robbers
bad a gun at his bead. They were ad
mitted and the expressman compelled
to open the smaller safe. He could not
open the larger combination safe and
the robbers proceeded to blow the top
out with dynamite. Meantime the fire
man uncoupled the engine and ran to
Gothenburg. In a short time 20 volun
teers were in route for the scene of the
robbery, but before they arrived the
robbers disappeared. The bandits wore
black slouch hats with black silk hand
kerchiefs for masks. They were about
5 feet 10 inches high and they would
horseback and evidently came in from
.Tine Black hills. Ihe windows were
blown out of the baggage car by the ex
jiiubiuu. iuo pHoeeugera on uuaru were

much excited, but not molested, Sec
tion Foreman Alexander Vrooman has
seen some men around the place of the
robbery several days and ha9 a good de
scription of them. Superintendant W. L
Park and Sheriff Miller, ofJNorth Platte
nave arrived in a special car with a
posse and will leave for Brady Island,
the ecene of the robbery. A posse has
already been sent out from North Platte
and Brady Island. Every effort is being
wade to capture the robbers before they
get out of the country. It is impossible
at this honr to learn the amount of
booty they secured.
Omaha, Aug. 21. Union Pacific train
No. 8, held up by express robbera three
miles east of Brady Island, arrived here
at 1 :35 p. m., two" hours and 10 minutes
late. Express Messenger Thomas W
McArl said the robbers did not get over
$100. They failed to get ineide of the
large safe. Conductor Flynn thinks the
escape of the fireman with the engine
alarmed the robbers and caused them to
leave before they completed their work

Held for Murder.
EixExsuur.G, Wash., Aug. 21. The
examination of the remaining defendants
in the lynching case was continued this
morning, and by noon all the testimony
for the prosecution was in. When the
court convenced this afternoon, no wit
nesses were called for the defense, and
none of them took the stand in their own
behalf. After arguments by the attor
neys on both sides, Justice Boyle held
Frank Ubelacker, Frank Fiegele and
William Kennedy for murder in the first
degree, bail being refused. A motion,
made by the attorneys for Linder and
Linke for their discharge on the ground
insufficiency of evidence, was taken
under advisement by the court. They,
with the other prisoners, were returned
to jail, pending a decision, which will be
rendered tomorrow morning. Street
talk savs a number of men for whom
arrants were issued have skipped.

people were well represented in the mob.
The officers, however, positively refuse
to discuss either proposition, and conse
quently it is not known whether there
will be any more arrests.
