Train Held Up.
Rkniiali.vili.e. JCnd.. Sept. 12.
The Lake Shore fc Michigan South
ern passenger train, No. l4,was held up
by a gang of robbers this morning, at
Kesler Hiding, Ave miles west of here.
The west switch was thrown, showing
a red light, and when Engineer Knapp
stopped his engine, he was flred upon
and bit lu the shouldol by a bullet from
a Winchester rifle. The robbers then
covered the train crew with rifles, and
after blowing open the door of the ex
press car, three of them entered, and
covering the express messengers, pro
ceeded coolly to blow open the safe.
It took five cartridges to accomplish
this. The robbers, after taking what
they wanted, departed. The train was
held about an hour. Engineer Knapp
will recover. The amount taken from
the safe is not known.
Engineer Knapp brought his train
here but was unable to go farther on
account of his wound. It is believed
he will recover. There were two safes
in the express car, one for through mat
ter, to which the messenger had no
key, and one for local matter. The
robbers compelled the messenger to
open all the safes, from which several
thousand dollars In currency were
taken,'tum blew open the bigsafe with
dynamite.
In the outer department there was a
quarter of a million dollars In gold,
with which tbe robbers loaded them
selves, not stopping to open the inner
compartment, in whloh there was a lot
mora money. In their baste to get
away tbe robbers also overlooked two
gold bags.
Tbe train Is tbe heaviest for express
on the road, and frequently carries half
a million dollars. It la believed this
fact was known to tbe robbers.
When they left the train they went
In a southerly direction.
The point at which the robbery oc
curred, Is In a deep cut In the woods,
but all tbe country around is thickly
populated, with little timber, and it la
believed to be impossible for tbe robbers
to escape. Posses are out scouring the
country In search of them.
General Superintendent Crosby of
tbe United Btates express company de
clared the total loss to be less than
twenty tnousand dollar. He says the
robbers thought they were carrying
away bank notes, but secured mostly
paper, worthless to them, and that
Iihey overlooked f 16,000 worth o! gold
bullion. He emphatically denied tbe
report inai iiop ww -says
only five or six men are coacernrd
In tbe robbery.
President Newell, of the Lake Shore
this afternoon offered a reward of
thousand dollars for the capture and
conviction of the robbers.
AS ARREST MADE.
Fkbu, Ind., Sept. 12.-A man giving
bU name as O. A. Belden, of Pocatello,

freight train.
Chicago, Bept. 12.-A dispatch from
Albion says; The robbers who brid up
the Lake Bhore train are surrounded by
a sheriffs posse, and a light Is in prog
ress, with lndlcatjous that the robbers
will be captured-or exterminated.
McKinley'fi' Sound Sentiments.
Akron, Ohio, Bept. 12. Governor
MoKinloy opened the Republican cam
paign" here today with a big meeting.
Speaking on silver MoKinley said:
A great majority of the Republicans In
the senate would vote for repeal; If re
peal was not carried the Democrats
would have to bear the blame. "We
do not want to strike down either gold
or silver," he Bald. "We want to use
both metals, but insist that one shall
go at parity with the other, and both be
equal In Intrinsic value."
He declared that the trouble was not
a lack of money, but taking money out
of circulation through distrust. Con
fidence would come back, and tho trou
ble end if the declared polloy to Intro
duce revenue tariff polioy in the country
were abandoned.

IN FAVOR OF THE CITY OF SALEM
Aud Oregon City Slroot Improve

J. Q. Wilson, et al reap. vs. the City
of Salem, app. Judgment of court below
reversed and tbo cause removed for
further proceedlugs not Inconsistent
with this opinion, opinion by Bean J.
Bingnam & D'Aroy and J, J. Bbaw for
city, and Boise & Ford for property
owners on Ohemekota street.
An entry similar to tho aboyo was
made lu a like case from Orogon City.
Tho decision Is very clear and strong
and relied upon authorities that oxtond
to tho highest oourt and are based upon
legal opinions and principles that were
perfeotly familiar aud woll established
slnco years.
the opinion.
This was a suit to restrain the execu
tion of a warrant for sitlo of plaintiff's'
property for a delinquent street assess
ment, commenced after tho work had
been com pie tod and accepted by tho,
city, and tho property advertised for
sale.
The" opinion then sets out the pro
ceedings lu the olty oounoll aud courts
below. It holds that tbo city violated
no express provision of Its charter, and
that a court or equity will not, after
the work Is completed, restrain tho en
forcement of" an assessment on account
of Irregularities lu the proceedings.
Tbo court cites the provisions of the
charter aud shows decisions holding
that tho wisdom and expediency of an
Improvement, the character and cost of
the wprk are all matters of legislative
control and vested by ohartor, in the
discretion of tho council and upon
which tho property owners have no
constitutional or ohartor right to bo

In conclusion, the oourt holds that
tho property owuers having suffered
tho work to proceed to llnal comple
tion and acceptance, without protest or
obleotlon, and received the benefit of
the Improvement, tbey could not con
test tbe validity of tbe proceedlugs.
