At the Inquest held yesterday morning
over tho dead train robber the Jury decided
thai Churles B. Baxter, the Adams express
messenger, was held to bo Justified In shoot
ing and killing the man. K. Kosedale, Vigo
Uadollett and W. S. Goodrich comprised the
Jury. Tho toatlmony of Engineer John Don
nelly, Fireman Frank Holman and Kxpress
Moiscnger Hoxter was listened to with much
Interest by the crowd present.
Engineer Ddnnelly was tho first witness
to testify. Ho said: "Shortly after leaving
the Hock Island crossing my fireman, Frank
Holman, called to me and, looking around,
I saw a man with his fuce masked crawling
over the tender. Hefore I knew where I
was he had us both covered with his re
volver and b were ordered to throw up our
hands upon pain of ' Instnnt death. Our
hands went up and then tho fellow told us
to pull down to thu covered bridge over tho
creek. Heachlng the center of tho bridge
ho ordered mo to slow up and stop when
tho mull and express car were on the other
side. When I stopped the train another
masked man with a gun appeared so sud
denly from somewhere that I felt certain
he must have been on the bridge watting
for us. Tho second fellow then escorted my
fireman hack and compelled him to uncouplo
tho mall and express cars from the rest of
the train. Coming back with the fireman,
the fellow told me to pull ahead nnd I nsked
him how far. He said about a mile or a
mile and a half, but not to go within two
miles of the next station. I told him we
wcro within two miles of the next station
und the fellow who got oi: at the bridge
then ordered me to pull down the road un
til he told me to stop. He ordered me to
stop about a quarter of a mile south of the
road crossing.
Illilnc I lie Cur Open,
"Tho two robbers then ordered us out of
the engine and inarched us down to tho ex
press cur. As we passed the mall car one
of the clerks put his head out of the door,
but quickly drew It In again when the rob
ber next to me threatened to blow his head
off. At tho express car tho tnllest of the
two robbers ordered me to enll to the ex
press messenger to open the door of his
car. I did so several times, hot received no
answer. The fellow then ordered mo to tell
Uaxter that If he did not open the door they
would blow the car up with dynamite. I
did os the robber ordered, but of course re
ceived no answer, as Uaxter was not In the
car, as I afterward learned. One of tho rob
bers took a sack from under his Jumper nnd
from It brought out a stick of dynamite,
which he placed on the door sill of the ex
press car. He handed me a mutchsafe,
which I still have, and orderrd me to light
the tUFe. The matches went out In the wind
nnd the tall fellow escorted me hack to the
englno and made me get a torch. Then I
lit' the fuse nnd the dynamite exploded,
tearing a hole In the door and part of tho
sill off. After I ilt tho fuso tho man or
dered us all to stand hack.
"I was again ordered to tell the messenger
that If ho opened tho door and came out he
would not bo Injured. I got no reply and
ono of the follows, with an oath, said tho
messenger must be from Missouri and would
have to ba shown. The toll fellow then
plarcd two sticks of dynamite on the door
slll nnd I wos again made to light the fuse.
This tlmo there was a big explosion and
the door was blown off Its hinges Into the
body of the cur and a big hole torn In the
floor. They then mado me nnd Frunk crawl
Into the car and seo whether the messenger
was there or not. We told them the west
door was open nnd that the messenger had
evidently dropped out that way. We were
then ordered out of tho car and the tall
robber Jumped In and commenced to throw
tho packages around. He pulled a vial out
of his packet and told his partner to take
us back from the car.
Iliitlrr Win IIiin)- NliootiiiK.
"This fellow then ordered us to start up
tho track and wo did so, but not fust enough
lo suit him, and he threatened to plug me If
I did not movo faster. I Incrcnsed my pace
and this mado n gap between us nnd the
robber. Suddenly there was a shot from the
west side of tho dump. I looked around
and snw tho robber raise his revolver. Im
mediately there was another shot from the
samo direction nnd the robber run from the
track Into tho grass on tho east side. At
the tlmo I supposed bo was hiding so ns to
get a shot nt Uaxter. I nnd tho llreman ran
down the track to the rood crossing, calling
he heard some one moving there. He lay i
on the embankment until Conductor Mc
Oee cHttie up.
Conductor MrOee testified that when he
wont to the front end of the day coach
to ascertuln the cause of tho train slack
ing up he was met by a man who put n
gun under his nose nnd ordered him back
Into the ear. He went back to Bccure
his revolver, but by the time he got It
and stnrted for the front end again, the
mall and express car had been uncoupled
and wero pulling ahead. He then sent
Ilrakenmn KM en hack to town to call for
assistance.
Tho other witnesses were the brake
men, their testimony not being of material
Importance.
.No One Kmmi flip Ilolilier.
The Head robber has not yet been Iden
tified, although several persons profess to
know the muti. A man named Cummins
from Omaha Informed Chief of Police
Albro that he knew the dead man three
years ago In Hock Island, 111., nnd at that
time he was an operator In tho employ
of the Milwaukee. He said the dead man's
name wns Uaston, but could not remem
ber his Christian name. Another man
claimed to know tho bandit as n man named
Goodrich nnd that ho had seen hltn fre
quently at North Platte. Olllclals of the
IJurllngton road are of tho opinion that
the two robbers aro the same as went
through one of their trains a few weeks
ago near Lincoln. This suspicion Is
strengthened by 'the fact that tho dead
man woro a pair of shoes Bold by Sander
son of Lincoln.
On orders received by Coroner Troynor
last evening from J. F. Kennedy, secretary
of the State Hoard or Health, the body of
the deud man will be turned over to the
Sioux City Medical college and will bo
sent thero toduy In caro of Dr. Wil
liam Jcpson. Dr. A. P. Hnnchett of this
city applied to the state board to have
the body turned over to him If not claimed.
Tho boat Htolon from Kapp was found
yesterday morning on the other sldo of
the river nt a point some dlstanco below,
Hellevuo nnd It Is generally bellovcd that
the second bandit escaped into Nebraska.
Colonel I)uenpnrt of tho Darlington stated
yesterday thut the company would make
tho effort of Its life to run the second rob
ber down, even If It took a year or longer.

Tho supremo court established an Im
portant point In the case of the State
against Juck Shields, which had been ap
pealed from Pottawattamie district and
which was reversed In tho opinion handed
down this morning. The question at Issuo
Is regardlug the stamping of documents
and tho point mode Is that n forged check
may bo used In evidence, even though not
legally stamped. Shields wus acquitted
in the lower court, because the check
btre u 2-cent proprietary UiiIImI States
revenue stamp Instead of n documentary
stump und It wus considered that It could
not ho used In evidence. The supreme
court reduces the Inquiry to tho question
whether the stututc regarding the stamping
applies to criminal prosecutions llko the
one under discussion and reaches tho con
clusion that as tho act was for tho pur
pose of Insuring the tax required and only
genuine evidence Is required to bo B.amped,
it was not Intended that tho rules of evi
dence prescribed apply In prosecution for
forging.

It was slated today by a prominent rail
road official that the projected line extending
between Iowa Falls and this city, In which
Mr. Ellsworth of Iowa Falls and other cap
italists aro Interested, will bo an adjunct
sooner or Inter ot the Illinois Central rail
way, which Is seeking au opentug Into Des
Moines nnd other southern territory. Tho
construction of tho road itself hinges largely
upon tho question ,oC whether or not the
projectors of the line can secure the right-of-way
of tho Duluth & New Orleans, on
which all grading and other kindred work
has practically stopped. This new road has
secured considerable right-of-way and ut
many places has secured the voting of a tax
by the people In tho way of aid In Its build
ing. Tho road If built along Its present sur
vey would bo In the way of the Iowa Falls
road und an effort Is being marie by tho lat
ter to take over thn tax voted for the formor
and secure Its rlght-of-wny and begin opera
tions. It was announced today that Eugene V.
Debs will spend four dnys of week after next
In lowu. He will probably not come to Des
Moines, though it is possible that In his
route through the stato It will be so ar
ranged ns to give, him a short stop here.
Ho will speak In Omaha on the night of Oc

nlng about n quarter of a mile we hid In
tho grass, and had been there for about two
minutes. It neemed. when a man whom I
supposed was tho other robber came up
from tho east side of the dump and stood
on the track and commenced calling
"Frank." Ho. had heard me call my fire
man by his name, nnd I supposed he wanted
to get us and take a shot at us If possible. J
We ran west to tho wagon road nnd hid
again. After n while wo crawled back to
the englno on our bands and knees and lay
thero In the weeds until we saw a man with
a lantern coming down tho track and heard
Conductor McfJee call to us. We then
crawled out and Uaxter came up on the
track. I snld I thought one of the robbers
was still In Jho car and Mcdee took Bax
ter's gun nnd wont to the car. We found
no ono there. We then went to where I
saw tho robber who was shot by Uaxter
drop, and there we found him dead. I helped
put hire In the express car."
The engineer's testimony was corrobor
ated by Fireman Holman, who gave sub
stantially the same account of the affair.

Messenger Uaxter testified that when the

It was a holdup and Just beforo It camo

Jumped out with his gun In his hand. He
slid down the embankment, which at that
point was nbnut soven feet high, conceal
ing himself In the weeds. He was close
enough to hear tho robbers und tho engine
crew talking, although he could not dis
tinguish everything that was said. It was
after the second explosion when tho en
gineer and fireman and ono of the bandits
approached near where he was that he
was able to distinguish the robber from
tho other two. Ho raised himself on his
knees and steadying his arm on the em
bankment fired at the man wearing the
mask. He fired four or five times In rapid
succession ns tho robber dropped over the
dump on the other side. Ho said after
the engineer and fireman had called out
to him not to shoot again, seeing thoy

"Thfte ytsrs ago I was In a pitiable conditlonj I had just reached that
critical stage in a Rtrl's life when ahe merges from girlhood Into woman
hood. I lud grown too fast and the rapid growth had sapped my slrength.
Consequently, when the change which is Incident to this time of life
took place, my tyttenv was unequal to it and 1 broke down completely.
1 was scarcely able lo drag myselt from one chair to another. My face
was white as a sheet, and 1 looked as though I had not a drop of blood In
my body. 1 became so nervous that at times I was hysterical. One day a
friend told me about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and induced
me to try them. I did so, and Improved rapidly. I gained in weight,
grew strong, my cheeks look on a healthy color, and I looked and felt like
a different girl. In fact, I was made well enough In three months lo be
able lo accept a position and start to work. I cannot praise Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People too highly, as they have nude of me a strong
and healthy girl." A. M. Roberson.
