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. IIUUI.IMTOnoiiTn. .

" TOLCDO , July 24. Shortly after midnight rain No. 37 on the Lake Shore road , to hlch was attached an express car which uns between Buffalo and Chicago , was slop ed at Heecc sultcli , midway between Arch- old and Stryker , forty-four miles west of Us city , When some distance from the \vltch the enclncer saw the switch was irned , displaying the red light , and as ho urned on the air brakes several shots were red at the cab. One of the shots put out the cadllght. When the train stopped four rob- 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 he robbers. This discouraged them and they uinped from the train and disappeared James P. Stark , u clerk In Superintendent ohnson's ofllce , of the Lal'e Shore road , was n the train at the time of the robbery. He vas seen at his home this morning and gave lie following account of the affair "I think It must have been about 1 o'clock his morning when It happened I was sleep- ng In the smoking car at the time and was wakened by hearing several shots as the rain came to a standstill The conductor aid the train was being held up I did not ; u outside to Investigate , being satislled from ili.it I heard that something was going on. Shortly after hearing the shots 1 heard four xploslons of dynamite and then all was still , ml soon the train pulled out for Stryker , vhere we arrived at 1 20. I went Into the xpress car afterward and the mesbenger aid he saw only four men. The Interior of ho car did not appear to be damaged , except hat the windows had been snot full of holes he only damage to the safe was a small lent In thp door. The robbers did not make nn attempt to get Into the passenger coaches. When the robbers left the express tar one if them shook hands with the mesbenger and ipologlzed for putting him to so much rouble. " TIIAIN ARRIVES AT CHICAGO. CHICAGO , July 24. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern express train , which was robbed nt Reece siding , 0. , shortly after mid night , arrived In Chicago today about on time , but with the express car In n badly shattered condition. Every window In the car was broken , the big safe , though un opened , showed the walks' of .dynamite . and the small or way safe lay open In the center of the car while the train crew and paEsen gers showed plainly the effects of their mid light scare. The express company's olllelal statement w IB to thu effect that but1 $150 had been stolen. The trainmen ware ordered to avoid ; ie\\spaper notor'ety. ' 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.
