is the best in the world.

 

Containing among its ingredients the purest
of medicinal French brandy and the best of
Imported ginger, it is vastly superior to the

Desperadoes In Colorado Rob an Ex-
press Company of $20,000.

$35,000 LEFT UNTOUGHED.

E'he Bandits Had an Easy Time of It, but
Were Too Credulous—Bloodhounds
Put on Their Trail—The Com-
pany’s Official Statement.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 13. —The
Wells-Fargo Express company has given
the following official statement regarding
the robbery at the Santa Fe depot:

Twenty thousand dollars were sent

‘from Denver to the First National bank

of Colorado Springs early in the after:
noon. This money was in currency of
small denominations and was received
about 4 o’clock, and too late to be deliv-
ered to the bank. The package contain-

»ing the money was placed in the depot

safe, and both doors locked. There was
nothing to indicate its value. Evidently
the thieves knew of its existence. When
train No. 6 came in, about 9:43, there
Were other packages aboard with currency
to the amount of $35, 000 consigned to the
same bank. These packages were deliv-
ered to the agent and placed in the safe
with the other. After the train had de-

parted, the agent, George Krout, went to
the platform to straighten the trucks
which were standing there, and when he
returned to the Office he was met at the

door by two masked men with drawn re-

volvers. The package containing the
$20, 000 was demanded, and the agent was

compelled to open the safe and give it up.

The agentsaid nothing about the remain-

ing packages, and the robbers left at once.

The standing rewards of $300 for infor-

mation or arrest of the robbers of course

holds good, and the a‘mount willundoubt-

edly be increased.

When Krout entered his office after per-
forming his duties outside, two men, one
tall, the other short, confronted him with
revolvers pointed at his head and com-
manded him to throw up his hands.

Krout, badly frightened, obeyed. Then
one of the robbers, stepping close to the
agent, said: “Not a word from you. We
want you to open that safe, and be quick
about it. Hurry up.”

Krout denied that there was any money
in the safe. The revolver was pressed
close tothim, and he was told to open the
safe or suffer the consequences.

Krout Saved $35,000. .

With trembling hands he slowly turned
the combination. When 1; door swung
open, Krout explained thatt row was only
one package there, and reaching in be
picked up an envelope containing 320, 000,
which he handed to the short man. He
then closed the heavy door.

The robbers, seeming satisfied that the
agent told the truth, stepped away from
the safe.

KrOut’ ction in handing out the $20,-
000 packs 6 and closing the doors of the
safe saved the company $35,000.

During all this time the thieves did not
appear in the least excited.

The robbers ordered Krout to undress
himself and get into bed. After he had
done so one of the robbers took pains to
see that the quilts and comforters Were
drawn tightly over Krout’s head and
tucked down. Then Krout heard one of
them say, “Now, open the door and see if
there is any one about.”

Krout heard the door slide ‘back and
bump, and then one of the robbers said:
“Wait now. We mayhavo missed some-
thing. Let us take a good long look over
the place and see. ”

When Krout plucked up courage to
jump out of bed and go outside, there was
no one in sight. An alarm was given,
and by 11 o’clock posses Were scouring the
vicinity of the depot on the eastern out-
skirts of the town, but no trace of the rob-
bers was found. Finally two bloodhounds
were put on the trail, and it was found
the men had gone along Pike’s Peak av-
enue through the heart of the city. 0n
the theory that they would go to Cripple
Creek over the Cheyenne Mountain road
a posso started from that city to head
them Off. The depot agent was not 100
yards away from Krout’s Office while the
robbery was being committed. but he did
not see the robbers and knew nothing
about the matter until informed by Krout.

METHODS OF THE SPANIARDS.

Innocent Men Put» to Death Boo-Ilse In.
ens-gents Attacked Troops. '

KEY Wasr. Fla, Nov. lie-Advices
from Santiago de Cuba under date of Nov.
7 state that several country seats in that
district have been burned by the rebels
within the last week, among them a beau-
tiful place called La Lecheria, a mile from
the city. The rebels come so near the city
at night that there are alarms in the city
every evening. _

Twenty rebels, Well armed, came into
the city on the night of the lst inst. and
visited a. store in one of the streets of the
suburbs. They inquired for the owner,
and when he appeared they compelled him
to go with them to the field.

The soldiers of Colonel Tejeda, under
Commander Punet, who were carrying a
convoy from Songo to Sabanilla on Nov.
1, were attacked by a band of insurgents,
who fought desperately to. obtain posses-
sion of the convoy, but were unable to do
so. During the fight they killed 4 sol-
diers and wounded 14.

The soldiers in revenge for the loss they
had sustained took five innocent and inof‘
fensive residents on their way to Sabanil;
la, handcufled them and took them as
prisoners of war. All were shot by the
local authorities of Sabanilla. The news-
paper there published the oflicial news
that the Los Negroes camp of Leader Rabi
had been taken by the Spanish column of
Colonel Roden. A letter received here
from Rabi dated the 28th ult. from his
own camp asserts that it is entirely false.

Colonel Roden. with 800 men and two
cannons, want on a scouting expedition
to the site of the village of Baire, which
was burned by Rabi few weeks ago.

When Rabi heard of this, he immedi-
ately left his camp with 20 infantry and
300 cavalry, with the Object of havinga
battle with the Spanish column, but as
soon as his explorers and vanguards be—
gan to fire on the Spanish, Colonel Roden
ordered a hasty retreat to J iguani, 12
miles from Delta.

Then Rabi ordered a charge with his
cavalry, with the object of compelling
Roden to fight, but it was of no avail.
The Spanish colonel, in spite of his nu-
merous forces, including artillery, con-
tinued to retreat.

The troops had 2 ofiicers killed and 5
wounded, 9 soldiers‘killed and .324 wound.
ed. Of these 5 were left in the pgwer of
the rebels, who cared for them. The in-
surgents had 1 killed and 7 wounded.

Yellow fever continues to increase in
the military hospital in this city.

WBMI’LB’S DOWNI‘ALL.

The Former Senator, Congressman and
Comptroller Arrested For Arson.
AMSTERDAM, N. Y., Nov. 14.——Edward
Wemple, ex-senator, cx-congressman and
exetate comptroller, was arrested at his
home in Fultonville today on the charge
of attempting to set fire to the residence

‘of Hubert H. Fonda in Fultouville on the

evening of Sunday, Nov. 10. A market
basket filled with shavings, saturated with
kerosene Oil, was placed against the rear
door and set on fire. The fire was discov.
ered in time to save the building.

Wemple is also charged with having set
fire to the- Wemple foundry, which was
burned a month ago, and with causing
other incendiary fires in Fultonville.

Wemple was prominently mentioned in
connection with the Democratic nomina-
tion for governor in 1891 and 1894. He
spent a fortune in politics and contracted
dissipated habits, which led to his downs
fall. He took the gold cure treatment,
but failed to derive benefit from it, as he
persisted in drinking after taking the
treatment. His mind seems to have be-
come affected, and a manic. for burning
buildings developed. His friends claim
that his strange actions are due to his be-
ing mentally unbalanced. His arrest has
caused great excitement in this section.

DUNRAVBN’S CHARGES.

The Result of a Preconceived Notion—Some
Sensible British Advice.

LONDON, Nov. 1 i.—In an article headed,
“Should L‘unraven Apologize?” the St.
James Gazette this afternoon again se-
verely criticises Lord Dunraven. The ar-
ticle says: “Lord Dunraven arrived in
New York with tho preconceived idea that
the Defender people were going to play
this trick upon him, and, having expected
it was going to be done, he found an easy
way to convince himself.” In conclusion
it says: “Let Lord Dunravon return to
New York and assist the New York Yacht
club committee in its investigation. If
he can prove it, we know the Americans
well enough to believe that they will ac.
knowledge he has been wronged. If he
does not prove it, the accuser owes Mr.
Iselin and others a. very handsome apol-
ogy. Otherwise we are afraid that most
people will think'that temper and morti-
fication betrayed him into behaving rather
badly. ” '

A Fatal Railway. Wreck.

AKRON, 0.,Nov. 14.—A wreck occurred

DUNDEE, Scotland, Nov. 14.—The Unit-
ed~ States ambassador, Mr. Thomas F.

international comity between the two
great civilized peoples.
