east-bound No. 2 passenger {rain, due
here at 8:45 from the west, wax held
up at Rio I’uerco bridge, about twenty
miles from this city.
As soon as the train pulled out of
the station it was halted by several
masked men and the express messen
ger commanded to open the doors of
hls car. A general fusllade of shots
kept the passengers terrorized. Late
accounts, although meagre, say that
the messenger is still locked In, but a
number of shots have been fired into
the car.
At 10:10 o'clock a message was re
eeived from Rio I’uerco stating that
one of the robbers, Cole Young, is
dead.
When the robbers jumped on the en
gine and compelled Engineer Ross and
nis fireman to uncouple the engine
and express car from the train, dep
uty I'nlted States Marshal Loomis,
who was returning from the West,
took in the situation ann fired at the
first man, killing Young. The rob
bers then commenced shooting, and
shot a lantern from the hand of a
brakeman. Rumors here are that
several others are shot, but this is not
yet confirmed.
The hold-up was a failure financial

Joseph, Mu.
Ht. Joseph, Oct. 4.—Near Arkie,
Mo., five miles north of here, yester
day afternoon some unknown man,
presumably a tramp, entered the
house of John Uomley white he was
away and murdered his wife, who
was alone at home. After a hard
fight, and the breaking of consider
able furniture, the man finally over
powered Mrs. Uomley, who was a
powerful woman, and beat her brains
out. All the rooms in which the fight
took place are 'covered with blood.
No cause can be assigned fpr the ter
rible crime other than the tramp
found Mr* Uomley alone and at
tempted to assault her. Posses are
scouring Nodaway county, and if the
man is caught he will be lynched.
Bloodhounds have been ordered from
Clinton county, Missouri, and the po
lice of thla city are watchlDg closely
for the murderer.

trocha, inflicted terrible losses on the

aroused from sleep to find a hail of
insurgent bullets falling upon them.
General Arelas and his staff, half
clad, rushed from their headquarters
and tried to rally the Spanish troops,
who were panic-stricken by the at
tack. It was half an hour beforeeven
a semblance of order could be re
stored to the Spanish column, and
during that time tiie troops remained
huddled together, an easy mark for
the Cubans' bullets. It was during
this period of the psme that so many
of the Spanish troops were killed.
