A local paper some weeks ago announced
to Its patrons that a series of prizes would
bo awarded to those ol its subscribers Aho
sent In the largest number of words made up
out of the letters In "Emulation. " A certain
> oung lady of this city was remarkably suc
cessful In the use of the unabridged and for
her success received the first prize , a lady's
blc > cle. This fact was duly heralded through
so much of the land as the paper In ques
tion was able to cover. This was three
weeks ago , but It was not until yesterday
that the winner of the prize saw the fruition
of her hopes. And a green , gnarly sort ol
fruit It was. Tor three weeks the manage
ment of the paper has kept her waiting on
account of some hitch In the proceedings
whereby a bicycle could be obtained without
expense to the publishers of the sheet , save
the cost ot setting up and printing an adver
tisement.
The young lady was told several times thai
her wheel would be on hand In a few dajs
Yesterday It came , accompanied by a letter
from the business manager of the paper. The
Ijlcjclc Is one of the small sized children's
wheels , while the young lady who Is expected
to ride It Is five feet nine Inches In
height. It has been nt the newspaper ofllce
subject to Inspection for several weeks , bul
every ono was told that It was put there
merely to show the general st > le of the ma
chine , while a full sized bicycle would be fur
nished the winner of the prize. The lettci
contained nn apology for the delay , and a
statement that the baby wheel could bo ex
changed at a local bicycle establishment bj
the payment of the balance , $35 , In cash.
There Is a young man who won the second
, prize In the same contest , "a trip to Splrll
Luke and his expenses while there. " When
he reads this he will probably begin saving
his money to buy his return ticket , Inasmucl :
as the prize offer contained no allusion to UK
homeward trip.

contract which she was to sign , with the
understanding that she need take only the
first month's Installment She signed It , but
when her husband returned home he told her
she had made a mistake. A day or two ago
the agent put In his appearance again , and

urned on the air brakes several shots were
red at the cab. One of the shots put out the

ers went to the express car , In charge of C.
, Nettleman of Buffilo , and ordered him to
pen the door and come out.
Nettleman refused and the robbers threat-
ncd to blow up the car. He then came out.
Vhen the door was opened the four men
ntered. They secured the contents of the
ocal safe , amounting to about $50 , and then
ent nt the big safe , which contained ton-
Idernblo money. Since the Kendalvllle rob-
ery the express company tins supplied Its
ars with dynamite proof safes and this stood
tie test of four dynamite cartridges llred by

Shortly after hearing the shots 1 heard four

hat the windows had been snot full of holes
he only damage to the safe was a small

When the robbers left the express tar one

The passengers' story Is that the train was
Hearing Reece sidlrjg , a Jonely spot In the
woods near Wauseon , whan the engineer saw
i reJ light showing & . { . the gvvjtc'i. ' He le-
versed his engine and as the tram cnme to a
standstill a volley of revolver shots raided
around the locomotive cab ] and express i u
Hnglneer Tlernan was ordeted to btand out
on the tender In full view and when CondiiL-
: or Darling appsared ho was fnt bck in
side his coach with a half dowi bullets as
pacemakers. Whlb one , man covered the
: nglneer the other three poured n few rouno >
of shot Into the express car as > an eye-opener
tor the messsnger nd ordered him to 3pe i
the door , and threatened to blow the whole
train over Into Indiana If he refused Mes
senger C. D. Nettleton fired one shot at the
robbers and then slowly opened the door
Two of the men sprang Into the car , pitched
Nettleton Into a heap , out of the door , anc
begin operations on the big safe Severa
atte.npts to blow It open were made , but th
big steel doors stood fist With an oath
the dynamiters finally pave It up. They
then turned their attention to the small
"way" safe. Meanwhile the robbers out
side kept up an Irregular tire to prevent an
attack fiom the passengeis Finding the
small safe securely locked , two of the men
picked up Messeng > r Nettletan and dumped
him back In'o h's car with an Imperative
order to unlock the safe doors. With the
cold muzzle of a revolver at the back of
his neck the messenger promptly complied
and the robbers quickly cleaned out the
compartments. After a few uncompliment
ary remarks regarding the Invulnerability of
the large safe the robbsrb backed Into the
weeds lining the road , and with a parting
volley disappeared Into the woods
The trainmen believe that the desperadoes
were old railroad men , hut as all were
masked wllh handkerchiefs none were recog
nized. The large safe which resisted the
attacks of the robbers contained a large
amount of money. How much the officials
refuse to say , but had the safe been opened
the loss would have been very heavy.
RECEIPTS WERE LIGHT.
CLEVELAND , July 24. The agent of the
United States Express company In this city
has received a telegram giving brief particu
lars of the train robbery at Reece station
last night. The exact amount of money se
cured could not be ascertained , as It was not
known how much local money the express car
carried. The opinion prevails , however , that
the robbers secured batween $800 and $1,000
from the United States Express company.
A representative of the company said : "The
robbery was committed near the village of
Kendalville , Ind , where the big express rob
bery occurred about two years ago , and , In the
opinion of the company , It was perpetrated
by the same gang. The express train pulled
out of Cleveland at G.GO last evening and
arrived at Reeca near midnight. It Is a
lonely region through that section of the
country , well adapted to the purpo = es of the
thieves. Had the company not been supplied
with stationary safes a large sum of money
would have been taken , but the through safes
are so arranged that even the messenger was
unable to open them , notwithstanding that he
had a revolver placed at his head and was
threatened with death. "
Later a telegram was received by Superin
tendent Mitchell of the United States Ex
press company from the messenger In charge
of the car attacked by the robbers saying
that only a few packages \ the local safe had
been secured by the bandjts. All of the
money collections made , ba veen Cleveland
and Toledo and at Toledo were In the large
safe , and the only mondjr lnt > the email safe
was that picked up at slatlo'ns between To
ledo and Reece station. ' It Js now believed
that the largest amount possible for the rob
bers to have secured Is but little more than
$100. i i
ROBBERS WERE GQ0P NATURED.
ELKHART. Ind. , July 24 < r-Partlculars ol
the train robbery recelvad here say there
were 200 passengers aboard the train. The
robbers drove back all who attempted to
get out , while four of the robbers went to
the express car. During the attempted safe
blowing the robbers seemed afraid of n
rescue. Tor the last explosion a terrific
chirgo was need. The steel chest did not
jlclJ , but the car was raised from the
track. The sides bulged out and the three-
Inch plank floor was shattered. There nero
nine In the party. They were Jocose with
the train crew , saying all were disappointed
at the failure , but would call ngiln before
the mow files. While the explosions wc'o
taking place the fireman slipped away , but
had gene enl > a few rods when the robbers
gave up. Ho was called back , and pro
ceeded with the train. The obstruction of
the track was found to consist of ties
