dits bungled the holdup of a northbound
Kansas City Southern passenger train be-
, tween Hatfield and Menay Ark., early
J today. One was wounded' and captured
and the others escaped after a battle
with Express Messenger Merrill Burgett
of Kansas City, Mo., In which Burgett
exhausted his ammunition and was badly
beaten. ' -
" Burgett shot the robber, who was dis
covered an hour later, after his com
panions had deserted him. Fifty or more
In an armed posse are pursuing the
bandits. Burgett is in a hospital at,
Mena. He will recover. The robber has
also been taken to Mena.
The train. No. 2 left Hatfield about 2
'clock. While Burgett was working In
bis car be saw the bandits clambering up
to the side door. Then they smashed the
Ilass with their revolver butts.
Saves HU Valuables.
Burgett sprang to .his most valuable
rack ages and hid them, despite the hail
of bullets which the bandits poured into
the car. Once, the messenger says, a
bullet pierced his . shirt. . .The packages
bidden, Burgett turned his attention to
the men,' who had abandoned for a time
their firing into the car. As Burgett
! fired at them , the robbers ' reached.
j through the smashed windows and loos
ened the catch which held the door from
the inside. Then they opened the door
and sprang into the car, one by, one, fir
ing on Burgett as they advanced. The
messenger leaped behind baggage and
met the robbers' fire, shot for shot. .
: The train had attained a SDeed of
V about thirty miles an hour and appar-
featly none of the train or locomotive
crew knew that a holdup was being at
tempted. A last shot fired by Burgett
I before the robbers gained the inside , of
J the car wounded one of them. !
The fight ' continued hot, until Bur-
i gett's cartridges were gone. The robbers
closed in on him and by force of num
bers overpowered him, although he gave
battle to three, wielding the butt of his
shotgun effectively' until conquered. The
'.bandits clubbed the messenger repeat-
I ediy, asking. . v.
Y "Where's that package of money?"
' Bleeding, Burgett crouched in a corner
of the car, . while the robbers brutally
beat and kicked him, but the messenger
did not reveal the hiding place.
The bandits .searched the car care
fully, but Burgett had been too wily -for
them. So they applied the airbrakes and
made another careful search.
By this time the train conductor feared
something was amiss and began an In
vestigation. As the conductor came for
ward with his lantern, the robbers took
fright and fled. '
Jn answer to the conductor's repeated
knockings on the door of the express
car, Burgett struggled to his feet, un
locked the door, then fainted. He was
revived long enough to give a brief story I
of the attempted robbery and the train
was rushed into Mena.. ,. ',, ... .
A posse was organized to pursue the
robbers Into the hills near , Hatfield and
Potter, Ark. Near Potter the wounded
robber waa found.
So far as is known the outlaws took
nothing.
MONTENEGRINS BEAT
TURKS IN BATTLE ON
TURKISH TERRITORY
(Continued from First Page.)
tiated within a week in European Turkey.
This will bring the effective force of the
Turkish army there up to 400,000 men.
Turkish officials say that the days of
trial has found the, military depots full
of stores and the army equipment com
plete and of good quality.
If the Bulgarians are counting on the
superiority of their organization and the
greater rapidity with which their army
can be mobilized to give them a material
advantage they will, according to Turkish
officers, receive a disagreeable surprise
The Ottoman authorities . for months
past have been gradually strengthening
their , defenses and concentrating troops
in the Important gone, comprising Adrian-
ople and Kirk Klllsseh, Just south, of the
Bulgarian frontier. Since the general
moblllzatton was ordered men have been
pouring Into the district at the rate
latterly of 30.000 dally.
The Redifs, or men of the second re
serve, now being brought from Asia
Minor, are determined once and for all
that the Bulgar, whose persistent in'
trlgues In Macedonia, the Redifs say,
caused them to be constantly called from
their homes, is to receive a sound lesson'
They have decided to take no prisoners
and to give no quarter. .
The Montenegrin efforts In Albania are
not taken ' very seriously here, but the
efficiency of the Greek fleet Inspires some
misgivings. .
The Albanians in the north are ex
pected by the Turkish authorities to keep
the Montenegrins busy. Emissaries have
been dispatched to the tribes there and
the Albanians have responded that they
will fight for the Turks.
The reliability' of Christians serving In
the ranks of the Turkish army is one of
the great problems of the moment, for the
Ottoman commanders. ' The Armenians
are expected to behave loyally, but it Is
expected it would be to show Ignorance
of human nature to expect the Greeks to
fight against Greeks, or Bulgarians
against Bulgarians, and there are many
of those nationalities in Turkey.
The feeling among the native Chris
tians may be gauged to a certain extent
by their efforts to escape' from service
by the payment of a tax, or by bolting
abroad.
The Ottoman government Is consider
ing the putting in operation of the bill
passed under the late Teglme, calling out
all Christians between the ages of 30 and
40. This action would swell the govern
ment receipts enormously, as most of the
native Christians are in settled positions
and well able to pay.

' Every lady will welcome the glad
news of a really successful hair
shampoo. Soaps, fade the hair and

finally been made from the cocoanut
and vegetable oils that gives a most
wonderful shampoo. It is known as
Coconide. You sin.ply dissolve a tea
spoonful In a cup of hot water and
shampoo in the usual' way. The re
sults are astonishing. The hair be
comes wavy, fluffy, bright and silken.
The scalp is delightfully refreshed
.and all dandruff disappears. But the
best part Is the after-effect The hair
roots are invigorated, growth pro
moted and hair loss immediately
stopped- Women everywhere who
have tested this Coconide are enthus
iastic about It A fifty-cent package
is sufficient for ten or more delight
ful shampoos. Any druggist has Co
conide in stock or will quickly get it
from, his wholesale house. Any lady
that ' really cares about her hair
should get some of this Coconide
without delay, but should not be

Omaha's Greatest Clothing House
The Questions
which ordinarily con
front a man when he con
templates the purchase of his clothes
are: First (and doubtless foremost),
"Where will my money buy most?'1
Second, "where can I be sure of
finding just what I want? And fi
nally, "Where can I place my con
fidence to that I may be certain of
that every day satisfaction that is my
right?"
To all these questions Berg
makes the one answer: "You'll find
every desire an accomplishment if your
choice is here. We are building up a remark
able business in Omaha; we're doing it sim
ply by giving our patrons the squarest kind of a deal." .
Our advertising can t succeed: this store can t maintain its estab
lished leadership unless the man who buys once buyi again. It is mighty poor policy to give a custo
mer anything else than satisfaction. If you find a year or a month after your purchase, that you didn't
get-all the satisfaction you think you should have, we'll give you something else just as good your
money. . '." ' . " ". .' '" v . ;

'Jimmy' Richardson, Insurgent member
of the Board of Education, has cut out
cigarettes, limited the number of cigars
he consumes per diem, fallen in love
with his wife all over again , and Is
learning the practical art of dish-washing.
'Tried to get a maid for five months,"
said Jimmy. "Found it useless., Then 1
said to ray wife, 'Here's where I get In
the game.' And she says I've qualified."
Richardson at first objected to wearing
an apron. He thought he'd look sissy. In
it, not being very robust of physique,
anyway. , r But the missus showed him
how to wear it properly and it was al
most becoming.
Richardson says his housekeeping ap
prenticeship has not been very expen
slve, as he has been compelled to buy
only one oomplete new dining, set since
he took to juggling dishes.
The real pleasure of helping your wife,
he maintains, is not so much the musical
Jingle of crashing dishes or the , soapy
feel of the dishwater; but It's the surest
way of getting acquainted with you better
half,
When he first started washing dishes
jimmy secured the promise of a sub
stantial Increase in wages, but he says
It is the "honest truth" that if his wife
wouldn't let him wash dishes any more
he'd Install a kitchen in the parlor and
wash 'em on his own account. .

into this classification. Their acting Im
proved with . the progress of the play.
Miss Constance Moliheaux in the role ol

The story of the play deals , with ths
plots . and contrivances of an actress to
get revenge on a young man who' has
