BULLETS FOR THE BANDITS.
One of the Outlaws Thought to Have Been
Winged—Little Booty Secured—Prac-
tically Useless United States
Deputy Marshals.
SEDALIA, M0,, Nov. l6.—The bullet
riddled and dynamite shattered cars and
' coaches of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
passenger train which was held up and
robbed at Blackstone, I. '1‘., have arrived
in this city.
W. W. Glover, who was in charge of the
mail car, said that no sooner had the train
stopped than the robbers opened up a reg-
ular fusillade. Going to the express car,
the leader demanded admittance of Mes
senger Lyon. “Instead of opening up,”
Glover continued. “the occupants of the
car fired a number of shots from the in-
side. Convinced that resistance was to be
offered. the bandits began exploding sticks
of dynamite, but no damage was done.
Leaving the express car temporarily, the
cutthroats fired possibly 200 shots into
the coaches. That one or more passengers
were not killed or wounded is a miracle.
The bandits then turned their attention
to the passengers. A young man of 26 or
27 years, wearing a white slouch hat and
a brown coat, acted as leader and entered
the smoking car, while the remainder of
the gang stood outside, standing guard.”
The leader carried a sack for the receipt
of valuables. and it was given a passenger
to hold, while the work of holding up'was
going on. From passenger to passenger
the leader proceeded, and money. watches
and other valuables were handed over with
rapidity.
An Excited Robber.
Colonel Leslie Marmaduke of Sweet
Springs, Mo., who was one of the passen-
gers in the Wagner sleeping car Gunita,
said there was only one robber in sight,
and he appeared to be greatly excited.
“He took my gold watch and then, leav-
ing our car, stepped into the second sleep-
er car in our rear and went through it.
There were more passengers in it than in
ours, and I understand the robber got
$700 in cash and a number of gold
watches.”
C. I. Lyon, the American Express com-
pany’s messenger, who, with Guards Bud
Lebetter, Peyton Talbott and Rodney
Johnson, held the fort against the bandits
and would not surrender the treasure in
his care, said:
“-We refused to open the door when
called upon to do so and endeavored to re-
turn shot for shot. About 30 in all were
fired, I imagine. The outfit finally left in
disgust and paid their attention to the
passengers. After the successful defense
of the express our Lebetter. made a charge
upon the retreating robbers. He pumped
two winchesters dry before they got out
of range. I do'not know ‘ to a certainty,
,’ but I have good reason for believing that
the leader of the gang was shot by Guard
Lebetter just as they had completed their
work. ”
‘ Six Useless Illarshnls.
TALEQUAH, I. T., Nov. 16.—Four Unit-
:ed. States. marshals were guarding the ex-
7pres's car of the Missouri, Kansas and
“Texas train which was held up by the
Cook gang, but they were as useless as
.' lambs until the bandits had disappeared.
There were six marshals in the coaches,
but they contributed their guns, money
' .;and jewelry without a murmur.
SOOEIELD a Home.
' Indian Agent Wisdom has wired Secre-
tary Smith for troops forthwith. L. C.
Perryman, chief of the Creek Nation,
wired the United States attorney at Fort
Smith to place his marshals in the Chero-
kee Nation, and that he would place 75
Indian sheriffs in the Creek Nation at the
nation’s expense and drive the Cook gang
out of the Creek Nation or kill them.
Agent Wisdom has wired all his In-
dian police to report at the agency at
once. J. J. McAlister, United States
marshal for the Indian Territory, has just
arrived and is co—operating with Chief
Perryman, Agent Wisdom and the Unit-
ed States attorney for the territory.
Marshal McAlister has 200 deputies that
he can draw from. Agent Wisdom has 28
Indian police, and the Fort Smith court
. has 75 marshals. In all there are 350 men
subject to call to hunt the robbers.
Are the Officers Implicnted?
Troops are not necessary if the various
officers will compel their men to do their
duty. It is the general opinion that some
of the deputy marshals are implicated in
the holdup, and that they act as couriers
for the gang. It is also reported that two
of the Indian police would feel more at
home with Bill Cook and Cherokee Bill
than they do with law abiding men.
Since the Arkansas Valley train rob-
bery the gang has not been 20 miles from
Muskogee. It was reported on the streets
not one hour ago that four of the bandits
were on the edge of this town, and not
one officer would go to the house where
they were reported to have been.
Attorney General Olney has wired the
United States attorney at this place to rid
the country of the robbers by all means
The bandits are now hid-
ing about ten miles from Muskogee, as-
sured that they will not be molested. It
is generally believed that Muskogee has
three citizens in the gang, and that they,
return to their homes after the robbing is
completed.
Many Men In the Gang.
MUSKOGEE, I. T., Nov.‘16.—D. N. Wis.
dom, Indian agent at this place, talked of
the holdup on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas as follows: “From information re-
ceived I think that there were 14 or 15
men in the gang that held up the train at
Blackstone switch. They are evidently
old hands at the business, and it is a mir-
acle that many persons were not killed,
as the train was riddled with bullets.
The commander of the gang was a large
man. 81101115 30 years old. He bad light
hair and snagged teeth. He wore a false
beard and talked in a squeaky voice. He
was the only robber that entered the cars.
After the robbery the man left the train
and started westward. The authorities at
Washington have been notified of the rub
bery land the desperate situation of aflairs

BURNED IN THE FOREST FIRES.
A
Eight Lives Lost In Burning Woods In
Tennessee and Arkansas.
MEMPHIS, Nov. 16,—Reports from the
forest fire districts in this vicinity show
that, while the loss to property is not
great, considering the extent of territory
covered, the loss of life exceeds expecta-
tions. Within 15 miles of Memphis three
lives have been lost by. fire in the past
two days. and there are rumors of a fear-
ful burning in Arkansas, where five lives
were lost.
The remain - f five human beings were
found. the flew and clothing all burned
off, in the St. ii‘rancis bottom, all within
a quarter of a mile of' each other. There
are fears that they ‘are'remains of a party
of hunters from Texas that went into the
country last week, but there is nothing
to support this except the number of
bodies.
'Ihc :aialities is this county were pecul-
iarly distressing. Fanny Woods, an aged
negress, had her dress ignited as she fled
from the burning house, and she ran sur-
rounded by the flames till she fell dead.
Pitt Roy, a :Q-year-oi'd boy, run into his
father’s house, which was slim, to save
some property. The house collapsed. He
was pinned in and burned to death be-
fore many spectators. The name of the
third victim is notfiafscgrtainable. »

LYNCHER§_1_N_‘INDIANA.;
Prevented by Brave Officers From
Executing Their Purpose.
A BAD MAN’S LATEST CRIME.
He Lay In Wait For His Victim and Brn-
,tally Shot Him to Death—A Plucky
Woman Disregards \Varnings and
\Vili Not Leave the Town.
ZIONS‘VILLE, Ind, Nov. 16.—-This vil-
lage is in a state of the wildest excite-
ment. An angry mob is organizing with
the intention of lynching Joseph Conrad.
confined in the county jail in Lebanon,
charged with the murder of John Martz,
a merchant.
An armed posse of 100 deputies, in
charge of Deputy Prosecutor \Villon A.
Dutch. took possession of the jail in Leb-
anon. They are determined to protect it
at any cost. Serious trouble is inevitable.
The immediate cause of the murder was
Conrad’s jealousy of Mrs. Martha A.
White, a wealthy widow, to whom he was
engaged to be married.
Martz had sold Mrs. White some prop-
cfty, and. according to their agreement,
Martz was to have a part of the garden.’
Last week he called to see her several
times on business. Hearing of his visits,
Conrad went to Martz’s store, and after
some angry conversation said:
“Don’t let me catch you »down there
again, Or I will shoot you.”
Swore to “Fix” Him.
Martz ordered him out, and he left
with the remark that he would fix him.
Conrad went to Mrs. White’s house and
told her he intended to kill the entire
Martz family. Conrad drank heavily the
entire day.
Martz closed his store and then started
home. At the corner of Main and Walnut
streets he met Conrad, who, without a
word, drew a revolver and fired four shots
at him, three of which took effect. Martz
was carried home and his wounds dressed.
He died a little later.
Conrad escaped and took refuge in a
barn at the edge of the town. Within 15
minutes after the shooting 50 men, armed
with shotguns and revolvers, were in hot
pursuit. When discovered, he showed
fight, and stepping to the door drew a re-
volver and asked:
“Is there a man in the crowd with‘
nerve enough to tackle me?”
He was instantly covered by a score of
guns and lost no time in obeying the
command, “Throw up your hands?” He
was taken before Justice Kinneman and
given a hearing.
During the progress of this trial he sat
with an air of bravado and cursed the of-
ficers as well as the angry mob that had
gathered. There is little doubt that he
would have been lynched at that time
had it not been for the coolness of one
man, James Broughard, who made a
speech to the excited gathering.
. Rose of the Officers.
This for the time quieted the mob, but
more hot headed counselors finally we '
vailcd, and providing themselves with a
rope they went about two miles from
town on the Lebanon road and there
awaited the arrival of the omcors and
their prisoner. The officers were expects
ing the attack and passed the would be
lynchers with their horses at a run.
Then began a race for the prisoner’s
life. For four miles the pursuers and
pursued kept up a running flro. At
Whitestone the mob gave up the chase.
and Conrad was lodged in jail without
further interference. .
The mob returned to Zionsvillo and
dispersed, but not until after they had
sent a committee to call on Mrs. White.
This committee told her that unless she
left town within 48 hours she, together
with her house and family, would be
blown up with dynamite.
Mrs.White is a pretty women. about 30
years of age. When asked what she in-
tended to do. she said:
“I have no intention of obeying the or-
ders. They may blow me out, but they
can’t scare me out. I have a mother liv-'
ing with me. She is 80 years old, and I
don’t intend to desert her for all the dyna-
mite in Indiana. I have provided myself
with a small cannon, and if they come
bothering around my house they will get
a warm reception. ”
' Conrad la n Bad Man.
Conrad bears a bad reputation. Shortly
after his arrival here he cut-Urban Flank-
ley, city marshal. He has since : "iv
killed Thomas Hawkins with' a 85011.5,
and about six months ago he assaulted
Bert Lewis, a half witted boy, and nearly
kicked him to death. For all these of~
tenses he has served but one short term-
in jail.

one of the wires and was fatally shot.
