MISSOURI PACIFIC CUTS, TOO May Decide t Adopt Freight Unto Mill I, oner Tliiiu Chleno Tnrlrr. LINCOLN, July 7. (Special Telegram.) Among rnllr ' otnclal the feeling Is general that -Dosed reduction of Chlcago-.MItsoiii. '' !-lght rates will result In a reductloi. rcr propor tions In tho present tai.. freight from St. Louis to Mtsioui. -ints nnd west, A movement of lu o would br-ng tho St. Louis rnllroad Ii. Ac rate-cutting war and would probably cause a still further reduction In the rates from Chlcngo. Under tho existing tariffs tho Chicago Missouri river rates aro about 20 cents higher per hunircd than from St. Louis, but tho reduction announced by tho Santa Fo would give Chicago shippers an advuntago over the southern point of 10 cents to the river. This situation, It Is believed, will force tho Missouri Pacific to enter the fight for tho protection of trade with St Louis. Without a change in the southern rate a vast amount of tho trade with tho Missouri metropolis would be lost to Chicago and slnco the other railroads have shown a disposition to cut rates Indiscriminately It Is considered quite likely that the Missouri Pacific will adopt a rate still lower than tho reduced Chi cago tariff.

HOPELESS CHASE FOR ROBBERS Sheriff' Poc Aliout DlncnnrnKCil nt Klectnesn of Rrent Xnrth . ern Oullnvf. ANACONDA, Mont.. July 7. Special dls patches from a staff correspondent of tho Anaconda Standard on the ground aro to tho effect that thoro Is Itttlo hope of tho sheriff's posso overtaking tho men who held up tho Groat Northern express train nt Wagner, Mont., Wedneeday. Tho corre spondent has Just returned from the section of country where the posses were expected to overtake tho robbers. His account Is that the pursuers havo been outwitted and that tho robbers havo eluded them. Thero are now two theories presented. Ono is that tho outlaws, who are far bet ter mounted than their pursuers, have al ready crossed tho Missouri river nnd aro well on their way' toward tho Hole-ln-tho-Wall country In Wyoming, the most notori ous refugo ot criminals In tho United States. Tho Holo-ln-the-Wall Is ,a fastness prac-. ttcally lmpreanabXeand . copablo jot being successfully defended by a few men almost against any force. The region between tho point Is tho Missouri breaks and the Holo-ln-the-Wall Is very sparsely settled, a few scattered cattle ranches being tho only evldenco of human habitation. Pursuit over this wild section, according to old plains men, Is virtually hopeless. Tho other theory Is that the robbers havo gained tho Intricacies of the bad lands along the Missouri river In the Little Rockies and aro thero waiting tho time when tho cbnso shall havo grown cold and then seizo a favorable opportunity to ford the river nt a placo where crossing could not bo effected by men unfamiliar with tho river and Its treacherous windings. Every foot of ground is nn open book to tho robbers, who havo used the vicinity as their stamping ground for years. Officers aro still In the field, but It Is tho opinion of those who aro on tho ground that the scene of active pursuit must now bo transferred to Yellowstone Custer or Dawson counties, through ono or moro of which tho robbers must pass to reach the Holo-ln-tho-Wall.
