BET ON WEATHER AND FIGHT Two Gents Get Into General Mlxnp When Mercury Begini to Slide Down. ' Making bets was always one of the practices C. Kelly and Charles Rles frowned upon. But they had adverse opinions about the morrow's weather Friday evening, and before they knew it, the stakes were being held by another man. Forecaster Welsh's actions In making Saturday's weather was what would settle the bet. But when the weather began to chango later In the evening, Kelly and Rles fell to quarreling about things In general and the bet In particular. While the wrangle was at Its height, the stakeholder skipped out, and two husky policemen settled the bet for all time by taking the combatants to Jail. They were released aftei; a night's repose In the dungeon keep. Kelly lives at IT Dodge, and Rles at the City hotel.

TV m CHAMPION TRAIN HOLDUP War Time Eaid Makei Big Spring a Second-Eater. RECOLLECTIONS OF HUGE HAUL How Colonel Moahy Sernred the fttoree of Two Paymasters and Divided the Loot Among Ilia Men. The Insignificant haul and speedy capture of the gang which held up the Overland Limited near Omaha a few weeks ago em phasizes the decline of a business once popular In the west and occasionally profit ble. Comparisons have been attempted of the value of the loot secured In various noted hold-ups, but the figures are largely guesswork. Values range from $110,000 at Big Springs, Neb., to a conductor's watch In Chicago. The record hitherto conceded to the Big Springs hold-up, when $110,000 was captured by the robbers, Is lowered several pegs by the historian of the Vir ginia cavalry, Thomas W. Lake, who as serts that the champion train hold-up In this country netted $18,000. It was a war time hold-up pulled off by Colonel Mosby's raider, and formed the basis of an address by Mr. Lake before the Washington (D. C.) History club, recently. Mr. Lake was a participant In what 1 known as the "green back raid," which began October 12, 1884, and describes It In part as follows: "A detachment of Mosby's men, of which I was a member, crossed the Shenandoah river at Castlemans Ferry about dark and moved off In the direction of Bunker Hill, on the turnpike between Martlnsburg and Winchester. Occasionally one of our fel lows would lose his hat by having It knocked off by a tree limb. Our party con sisted of between sixty and sixty-five men. At sunup October 13 the command was halted in a piece of woods close to the pike. It was a splendid place from which to view and command the road, there being considerable hill. Colonel Mosby and a few of the men were on the hill with a field glass. We had not been there long before a patrol of twelve or fifteen federal cavalrymen was seen approaching. Federal Cavalry Boated. 'The colonel Instructed me to order Lieu tenant Grogan to take ten or twelve men and go out on the pike below, and to order Lieutenant Harry Hatcher to take an equal number of men and come out behind the federals after they had passed by. Hatcher requested me to go along with his party, and I did ao. Just before we struck the pike we heard Grogan'a men firing, and soon the federals came thundering back, Just In time for us to meet them. "So the federal cavalry had nothing to do but surrender or scatter over the fields, which a few did, but they were soon cap tured. "That night we rode off In the direction of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and struck It at a point a mile or so west of Duf field b depot. There was a deep cut Just west of Shenandoah Junction, which was an Ideal place to throw a train from the track with the least injury to the passengers. I Plana to Wreck Train. "It was a clear, starlit night and the air waa chilly. The command was halted In a woods close by. Colonel Mosby and four of us rode across a small field to the cut. The colonel asked if there was any one In the party who knew how to tear up the track. There was no response. He com manded me to ride back and get three or four men who knew how to take up the rails. I aecured some expert track de stroyers. The track was a double one and Colonel Mosby ordered that both track be torn up. "Only a short time before the rangers had destroyed only one track and a train came thundering past on the track that had not teen touched. The astonished rangers looked after It as if undeter mined to mount their horses and pursue the flying train or ait down and say 'cuss' words. "Under the direction of Colonel Mosby the troopers pi-led up the rails of the west bound track and pushed a lot of fence rails under It, with the heavy enda rest ing on tne eastbound track. We raised the track to an angle of about forty-five degrees. We then raised the other side and placed a big rock under It. "The work was soon accomplished and the men were ordered to leave their horses In the woods under a guard and take posi tion on foot along the railroad. While we were lying In groups trying to keep warm, for 11 was a cold, frosty, wet night, the guard who had been left with the horse came galloping toward us shouting: " 'The Yankees are coming!" "Every trooper of ua made quickly for our animals and when we got there tx pected to receive a rain of bullets. Wo listened but could not hear a sound. The guard had been frightened by a sow and her pigs running through the dry autumn leaves. Thoroughly disgusted, we went back to the railroad, after Colonel Mosby had used some language toward the guard that cannot be found In Sunday school books. As punishment the colonel threat ened to send the fellow back to the army; which was dreaded by all the rangers, or pistols. "Some nervous ranger fired his revolver when the train reached his post, and there sit down or stand still when In expectancy of a fight, being a wiry, nervous man, walked up and down in front of his men cracking Jokes with them. Suddenly there came the sound of a locomotive whistle and the distant sou'id of an approaching train. The troopers sprang to their feet at his command, and Lieutenant Hatcher was ordered to taae one man and go down the track a hundred yards, with instructions (o fire If there was a guard on the train, if there was do guard, he was not to fire. The Train Wrecked. "Lieutenant Grogan was directed to form the rest of the troopers on the bank op posite the obstructions on the track. I went with Hatcher down the track. We had Just taken our positions when we raw the headlight of the locomotive. Then the train came thundering past us. This was ottwten 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, October 14, 1S64. "It was a fast westbound train going at full speed. We saw no auards on the cars laud consequently did not fire our carbines as a return fire from the cars, but no one was killed. When the engine struck the obstructions it tumbled over onto the other track. The train was not badiy wrecked, and betidea a fceiieiul jolting the passengers were not seriously Injured. "Hatchtr and myself rushed aoivn the embankment and were soon in the rear coach. There were ten coaches In the train. We rushed In, putols In hand, ex pecting to be confronted bj some soldiers, liut to our surprise we found the train al most filled with the gentler sex. there be- I lug but a lew men on ihe cars. W hen the I aomtn discovtiid that we wore Mosby's iien they spiang up and down and gave lent to screams the like of wmcn I had never haid before. "We begged them to be seated, explain ing that we would not iujui them, but lhat only added fuel to the flames. They had no doubt read such txageiaieu stories about us In the northern newspapers that they bfclieved us to be hoiiu-d Uevperadoos. Paymaster aad Fund Captured. "The conductor waa ordered to gather hit passengers in the lind beside tiw tracks so we could burn the train. There were dBfflrleeilTffiftffi Never before in all our business experience have we held a sale that would measure up to this one. Never before were we in a position to put into the homes of the people such splendid goods at prices so near the actual cost of manufacture.
