RAILWAY ROBBERS
.Four of Them Caught iu nn
Attempt to Capture cv Tram
on the Missodn Pacific.
Bold Scheme Frustrated by Mem
bers of the Police Force.
Kanx.il I'll } Journal , IMIi ,
The passengers who come in last
evening over the Missouri Pacific on
the ( rain duo in this city at 8:50 : , may
heartily congratulate themselves that
through the efficiency of one of the
oflicers of the public lorco they wore
saved from a train' robbery which
threatened to surpass any of those
previous , in daring and horrible re
sults. For a week or moro the officers
of the police force have evidently been
on the qui vivo , and it was plain to
interested observers that something
big was in the wind. Yesterday after
noon ut about 2 o'clock Capt. Mnlloy ,
Sergeant Lnydor , Officers Nugent
Bryant and Hunt , loft the city very
mysteriously , and did not return until1. )
o'clock last evening , at which time
they tU'iiod up at the station with
four prisoners in charge , and weap
ons enough to start a first-class arse
nal. Tlio prisoners were genuine
train robbers , who had boon caught in
thu very act of preparing to wreck and
rob a passenger express train The
officers left the city on the C. it A.
train going cast at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon , and with instructions to
tho'onginoortostop the train about six
miles east of the city. At this point
.the officers alighted from the train.
The place was one well fitted
TO WOKK A SCHEME
of the kind laid out by the thieves
and especially so , as there was a largo
pile of ties , old iron and rails close beside -
side the track. It was in a 'kind of
cut , and near the point where the
Chicago it Alton and the Missouri
Pacific curve , and como very near to-
gather. Captain Mnlloy lott his men
behind , and wont ahead to reconnoi-
ter. Ho had not gone far before ho
saw two men sitting near the track.
The track was so curved that
ho was enabled to get very near
before his presence was perceived.
When the two men discovered him
\ y they started up , but ho called to ono
of them to come towards him. The
fellow did not seem disposed to obey ,
and began to draw a revolver , but the
captain ordered him to put it back
and como to him if lip did not wish
to , bo killed. The man then obeyed ,
and both of them gave themselves up.
Not long after two more men were
discovered and they wore easily cap
tured without any resistance. They
. wjro terrified into telling
THE WHOLE STOKY
n which it was show n that they had
three comrades who had not yet arriv-
d but who were to have taken
part in the robbery. The officers and
heir pursuers then sat down and wait-
d until dark , expecting the others -of
he band to arrive but they did not
make their appearance. It is suppos
ed they came and saw the police * "ith-
out being seen , and concluding that
discretion was the better part of val
or , left. This supposition is confirm
ed by the fact that as the
police were on their way
to town they stopped at Sea
ler's wine garden on the Independ
ence road and discovered that a short
tiino before the three men had
stopped there ; and were , at that time ,
on their way to the'city. The prison
ers confessed the scheme to the cap
tain. They had intended robbing
only the express car , and had ar
ranged to first attempt to stop the
train by signals , but if unable to so
had made arrangements to ditch it
by placing ties and obstacles across
the track. They had also ar
ranged to tear up some of the track
west of the obstacles , to make their
fiendish schema secure. They were
all heavily armed , but the weapons
were all old-fashioned and nearly use-
lea. There were four largo revolvers
found on the prisoners , and one shot
gun which was heavily charged with
buckshot. A largo stock of ammuni
tion was also discovered , and black
cloth to bo used in making masks ,
and several masks already cut out.
Everything was arranged to accom
plish theit fiendish purpose , cost whal
it might.
HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED.
Some two months ago a man named
Kelly was arrested .in West Kansas
by Officer Todhuntor , and , while be
ing brought to the station , attempted
to throw the policeman over the Blufl
atreot wall. He was clubbed by the
officer , who finally succeeded in got
'ting him to the station. Kelly was
lately from Las Vegas , N. M. , and
at the time of the arrest volun
tcored the information to Capt. Mal-
loy that a scheme was being concocted
-cocted in Now Mexico to rob a train
near this city. Tlio captain took this
as a pointer , and since that time has
been closely watching matters. Not
Iqng ago ho heard some conversation
among a crowd of young follows in
this city which aroused his suspicion.
Close watch ng brought to light fur
ther suspicious circumstances , and
finally the date and nature of the pro
posed scheme were discovered. Mon
day nightaconsultationwasheldcntho
matter , _ and the captain was given
the privilege of choosing some moi
and working the case up to suit him-
self. The result has already beer
told , and to the efforts of the captain
and the police is duo credit for saving
not only an immense amount o
money but in all probability the live :
of a largo number of people. It cat
be IT lur imagined than describee
what ilio result would have been hue
the villains been allowed to carry 01
their hellish designs.
1NTE11VIEWINO THE I'lUSONKIlS.
A Journal reporter was shown dowi
to the Houtheost corner cell of the central
tral station , whore the would-be robbers
bors were quartered. The cell was
dark , except as it was lit from th
open door of the stove , but from tin
source there was sufficient light to
show that instead of being men of th
supposed Jesse James typo , they were
beardless boys who looked much bet
tor fitted to the ordinary pursuits o
boyhood than to train robbing. Th
oldest one claims to be but 18
years old , and there was ono wlo (
was nearly of the same age. Tl > o
other two were younger. They till
'appeared rather sheepish , and not at
-all inclined to brag about about their
ntpndod exploit. Three of them re-
nained sullenly quiet. Tlio other ,
"im Noon , was a little moro talkative ,
nd gave the reporter the following
) oints : The plan had first boon laid
onio thrco months ngo , in this city ,
t had first been spoken of in fun ,
, ml afterwards was talked of in earn- '
at. Shortly after the first broaching
if the subject , Noon wont to Now
Mexico and was there at work. While
here , ho saw a man from Kansas
City who informed him that the
chomo was
TO IIB CAIIIIIKI ) OUT.
shortly afterwards Noon was called
> ack hero by letters announcing the
icknoss of some of his friends , nnd ho
eon joined the band that had the
chemo in view , They had laid out
hnir plans a la the conventional Jesse
James style ; had appointed 6110 mane
o settle the engineer , with a shotgun
f necessary ; two men to tnko the ox-
> ress car and go through it , and the
ithor four were to walk backwards nnd
orwards along the side of the train ,
iring pistols and calling each other
' " " " " "
'Jessie , "Frank" and "Ed.
Two of these men who have not as
yet been captured are older , and had ,
0 n large extent , planned the thing.
They were the ones sot apart to take
charge of the express car. The idea
was not to rob the passengers at all ,
Hit to got the money from
; ho express car They had in-
.ended . to signal the train to stop it ,
nit in case this should fail they had
made preparations to have the track
: orn up or obstructed so that the
rain should bo ditched. Kails nnd
ilcopors were nt hand to bo used for
, his purpose. The scoundrels' only
regret seemed to bo that the scheme
lad failed. When questioned by the
reporter , Non said : "If wo had not
icon caught , by this time the train
would have been lying in the ditch. "
All of them were
POOC1ED AND SULLEN.
, nd disposed to say as little as possi-
) lo about the matter. To the police ,
lowover , who captured them they
wore so thoroughly frightond that
; hey confessed the whole story. Mere
joys as they are , they seem heartless
and hardened , and though terrified at
.ho punismcnt which they see glaring
hem in the face , they are not in the
east penitent. Noon says that ono
of thb parties not yet captured is a
jrothor of O'Shea's and is but 1C
. 'cara old.
It will bo scon that the story of
ivolly , who is supposed to have es
caped from jail at Las Vegas , coin
cides to a certain extent with the
story of one of the robbers , and there
seems to bo little doubt that the
ichcmo was actually discerned by at
east ono of them , in New Mexico.
The thrco men who are actually deserving -
serving of punishment for the heinous
crime , although still at liberty , will
irobably bo captured very soon. They
ire well known , and are not well
enough acquainted with the business
of fleeing from justice to thwart the
officers in their search.
The deed contemplated was ono of
.ho most daring of its kind in all the
eng record of Miseouri train robberies ,
and would undoubtedly have resulted
"atalljr to manypprsons. The whole
affair is very shocking , from the fact
; hat the would bo perpetrators are
wore boys , and boys who are well
tnown here in Kansas City , Their
names , as given by themselvesves ,
ro Jim Noon , Tom O'Shea , Pat
Hanley and Peter Speer.

A LIBER AX OFFER :
For the past two years the publish
ers of this paper have given to the
subscribers of THE WEEKLY BLE the
best line of premiums as inducements
to subscription which have over boon
offered by any newspaper in the coun
try. The plan has proved a success.
It has given universal satisfaction to
the patrons of the papar , and has in
creased the subscription list to a de
gree far above the expectations of its
publishers.
Many patrons of THE DAILY BEE
have asked why wo do not offer them
the same inducements hold out .to sub
scribers of TUB WEEKLY BEE. In re
sponse to the inquiry wo make the
Following offer : Each subscriber to
THE DAILY BEE who pays his arrears
of subscription and remits prepayment
ment for six months and every new
subscriber who remits pro-payment
For six months will bo entitled to ono
of the premiums mentioned in our
tist. These premiums will bo dis
tributed in the same impartial manner
which marked our first and second dis
tributions.
This scheme was first devised to
collect subscriptions in arrears from
patrons of the Weekly BIE. : Its suc
cess exceeded our expectations. Wo
have now no back collections on our
weekly edition , have established the
prepayment system , quadrupled our
circulation and correspondingly , en
hanced the value of our advertising
space. A number of subscribers to
the Daily BEE are now in arrears , nnc
if by an extension of the same plai
we can induce them to pay tlio amoun
duo us , wo can well all'ord to make
this liberal offer. By this means wo
hope to still further increase the largo
list of the Daily BEE , and having es
Uiblishod the prepayment system wo
propose to maintain it , as wo are doiii ( ,
with our Weekly edition.
To those who are not familiar witl
our plan of distribution or the manner
in which the premiums are secured b ;
us wo append , the explanation mad
' to our Weekly subscribers , which ap
'plies equally to the subscribers of th
Daily BEE.
Two years ago the publishers of Tut
) F.K devised a scheme for collecting
mck pay from delinquent subscribers ,
ccuring renewals and oxtondinij tlio
irculation of tins paper y a distri.
mtion of valuable nroiniuins. Tlio
ucccaa of tlmt experiment , both in
ho collection of back pay and increase
if prepaid subscribers w.is so oiicour-
ging that tlio publinlicM ventured
ipon tlio same system of premium dis-
ributions on n moro extensive scale
ast year. It was demonstrated that
vo couldbotter allbrd to distribute the
nonoy usually paid to indents , local
lollectors ami attorneys , directly to
itir patrons by oflerin them extra-
irdinary nuluceineiils to square ac-
ounts and prepay for another year.
Jy this method \vo have succeeded in
wo years in quadrupling the circnla-
ion of Tun WKRKI.Y IJin : and extend-
tig its inllucnco far beyond the
loundarics of this state.
During the first year only n portion
jf the articles distiibutod wore pro-
tired in exchange for advertising.
When the marked increase in circnla-
ion became known to merchants and
nanwfacturors last year they willingly
ilaccd their machinery and mcrchan-
Use at our disposal in p lying for ad
vertising. That enabled us to do
what s'oomoil incredible nainoly , fur-
lisli a mutiopolitan weekly for two
dollars a year and give our siibscuibers
> romiums that aggregated in value
J20,000. And yet it was n paying in
vestment for ns , and gave general
satisfaction to our patrons.
What grow out ot n deairo to collect
lc pay has developed into a now
and practical idea. We have discov
ered that we can allbrd to make our
subscribers sharers in the income of
ho paper from advertising. In other
words wo can afford to divide the ad
vertising patronage of the paper with
ts subscribers , inasmuch as the income
'rom advertising grows with the in
creased circulation. Advertising space
n THK BKK that was worth one hun
dred dollars five years ago Mil com-
inuld ono thousand dollars to-day.
This fall moro goods and machinery
mvo been offered us in exchange for
dvortiaing than wo could accept in
iow of the limited space wo devote
or that purpose. What wo have con-
racted for makes the grandest and
nest varied list that has over been
iffored for distribution by any nows-
mpor and that too without paying a
lollar in monoy. The only outlay in
: ash wo expect to incur in connection
vith these premiums will bo for post-
igo and oxpressngo. This explains
axactly how wo procure our premiums
ind why wo can give away property of
o much valuo.
All the premiums in our list are
vorth at retail just what wo represent
hem. In contracting with manufac
urors and wholesale deulois wo ac
ccpt them only at wholesale rates , but
hat does not lesson their value to
, hose who receive them.
THK BEE has for years stood in the
: rent rank of nowspipora west of the
Mississippi , and to-day circulates
moro extensively than any paper west
of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A
argo number of eastern people who
desire to procure a far western paper ,
with a view of acquiring reliable in-
'ormation about the resources and de
velopment of the country west of the
Missouri will doubtless avail them
selves of the opportunity now offered
, hem. Having for moro than ton
ears been under ono man-
igomont pursuing a course
: hat has established for it public con-
Bdonco at homo and a wide
reputation abroad , THE BUK could not
afford to engage in any undertaking
that was not conducted fairly and hon
estly. The distribution in 1880 nnd
1881 gave general satisfaction to our
subscribers. The coining distribution
will bo made in the same impartial
manner , by a committee whom the
subscribers present may select from
their own number , and in such man
ner as they think fair and equitable.
Last year nil the premiums gave good
satisfaction , excepting some engrav
ings which were not appreciated. This
year no engravimrs , maps or pictures
have been placed among the premi
ums.
ums.Our old patrons need no assurance
from us of the reliability and stability
of THB BEE , nor do wo need to inform
them that the principles it advocates ,
and the fearless defense it makes in
behalf of the producers , makes it al
most indiaponsiblo to the industrial
classes of the great west.
No intelligent person would expect
that every subscriber will receive n
§ 050 threshing machine , a § 500 piano ,
n § 300 harvester , or a 8150 organ ,
but all have an equal chance in the
distribution.
Each subscriber that pays up his ar
rears and prepays another year , ant
every now subscriber that remits prepayment
payment for ono year , will receive a
premium worth at least Ono Dollar ai
retail. As a matter of fact , Tin'
OMAHA \VnKKtY BKE is worth the
subscription price , Two Dollars
year , to every farmer , mechanic or
merchant. Without boaating , wo as
sort that no weekly paper ? east or
west , can compare with it in variety
and choice selections , general news ,
interesting correspondence , and IK
other paper in America containn au
much far western DOWH , ranging fron
the Pacific coast to the Mmnissipp
river. With the proof of good faitl
and honest doalini ; before them in the
numerous acknowledgments wo pub
lish , wo can safely enter upon our on
larked undertaking ot this year , eon
fidontly behoving that its success wil
bo mutually satisfactory and udvan
tagcous. E. ROHEWATEH ,

'osscssing line water power nnd a fno-
ory bmlt with Bpocial rcforonco to the
immifncturo of the best instrument at
ho least possible cost , this company

actory. They have near at h.uid in
nrgo quantities the finest timber in
ho world , mid have an opportunity to
nako the first selection , and save
ho high freights which must bo paid
jy eastern manufacturers , nnd conso-
liiently can furnish a better piano for
lie money than any other makers.
The College of Music at Cincinnati ,
mo of the largest institutions of the
and iu this country , after trying the
pianos of nil the best makes discarded
others and are mint ; only the
CiiAHi : , and decided tlmt it possessed
ill the qualities accessary to with-
tand the Jianlships of a genuine inns-
cal warfare. Tins speaks volumes in
aver of those excellent instruments ,
he product of western enterprise aim
ikill. All disinterested experts ad-
tut that those pianos are utndu bettor
h.ui those from nuy other factory and
hat they are the most sorvicablo.
The piano wo offer is their
tylo seven nnd for elegance of
ippi'aranco , beauty of tone nnd
.olidity . of structure cannot bo OK-
x-llod. Parties who are not familiar
vith this make of pianos would do
veil to write to the factory for an il-
ustratod catalogue.

THK TI1UKSI1INO MACHINES.
Tlio first one on the list is from
'ilta & Son's celebrated factory , of
Chicago , 111. , nnd has a reputation for
' rood work over the whole , country
The , Gold Modal Thresher is from
ho well known firm of .Robinson &
? o , I'lchiunnfl Ind. The Robinson
nachino w iks were established in
.81U , and aioono o' the oldest thresh-
in , ' machine builders in the country.
The machines of this firm are in use
n every state from Maine to Oregon.
2very farmer and dealer admits their
superiority. Our contract with the
Robinson machine works is for a com-
> loto threbhor ready to attach either
torso or steam power , bdth of which
, hey manufacture , and under our'con-
ract they will furnish the party who
receives this machine , either power at
§ 50.00 less than their regular price.
This discount to bo given in addition
o any cash or other discounts offered
jy the firm , .
THE 8ELK-DIND1NO JIAHVESTEH.
The reputation of the Mnrsh har
vesters is BO well established that no
special description _ of them is deemed
necessary. Wo will only state that
this is their latest improvement. This
machine was on exhibition at the No-
> roska state fair last September , and
was admired by every one , and the
workings of it declared superior to
hat of any other harvester made.
TUB LKWIS HEADEB.
This machine stands at the head of
; ho header family and has mot with
most surprising success. The factory
at Hastings , Nebraska is kept busy
: ho year round , and the past year
ias not boon able to make enough to
ill all orders. These headers do moro
work with less power than any other
style of reaper , and with loss loss of
rain than by any other mode of liar' '
eating.
THE AMKUIC'AN OUINDINd MILLS
which wo offer as premiums are guar
anteed to bo first-class in every respect -
spect , simple in construction , durable
and easily managed. These mills are

Till : C'ALDWELL WAOON ,
which is offered ui a premium , is the
same style as the ono we gave last
year and which was considered ono of
the finest farm wagons over made.
These wagons are made , by the Kansas
Manufacturing Company , of Leaven-
worth , Ka.s. , a western firm with truly
western enterprise. They are making
u first-class wagon and will soon bo
supplying the entire trade of the
west.
THK CKAMI'IOU COKN FLANTISU
is the old reliable rotary drop , made
by Boodle fc Kelly , of Troy , Ohio.
These goods are as staple as white
sugar and are indispensable on every
well regelated farm. Wo are safe in
recommending it as the best corn
planter made.
KINO COCKLE MILLH.
These mills are now and simple ,
separating cockle chaff and all aecd
from the wheat , is also used as a seed
separator. This mill works with iv cer
tainty and rapidity not attained by any
grain manipulating device heretofore
placed on the market. It furnishes
its own motive power and needa no
blast or agitation. Every farmer ,
grain dealer and miller should have
ono. The ono on exhibition at the
last Nebraska state fair was acknowl
by every ono M a "groat invon
tion. "
WATCHES AND S1LVKHWAUK.
The goods in this line have boon
secured through the jewelry firm of
Edholm & Erickson. Thii firm has
met with remarkable success in
Omaha. Coming hero a fo'V years
