Hamburg, la.,' 'Aug. 3." About midnight last night, as Burlington Council Bluffs-Kansas City passen ger train No. 22 was pulling out of Hamburg, a big' negro climbed over the observation end of the rear car, presented a .revolver at the head of the flagman who was sitting on the platform and ordered the trainman not to make a noise. The negro then gave the flagman his orders. He was to escort him through the train to the front end, the plans of the negro evidently being to be gin work there to rob the passengers or possibly to rob the mail and ex press cars. Obeying the negro, who walked behind with his. gun pressing on the flagman's back, the flagman started forward. Before they had reached the front end they came to a car the door of which was locked. The porter of the car, through which the two had just passed, sus pected that something was wrong and he quickly locked the door of his car, thus leaving the negro bandit and the flagman in the vestibule with progress cither forward or backward blocked. The negro bandit was equal to he situation. He ordered the flagman to stop the train, which he did, meanwhile also opening the vestibule and the moment the train slowed down the negro dropped off and disappeared in the darkness. An alarm was sounded and a posse organized, but no trace of the would-be bandit rould be secured. The search is being continued today. Widow Sues Slayer of Husband for $30,000 Humboldt, Neb., Aug. 3.

Washington, Aug. 3. The long fight for legislation to end the na tion's neglect of its disabled veterans was brought to a trimuphant con clusion Tuesday when congress put the final stamp of approval on the Sweet bill. By a vote of 264 to 4, the house agreed to the conference report on the measure, following the example set by the senate yesterday. The bill will become a law just as soon as the president signs it. An effort will be made to have it sent to him at Mount Prospect, N. H., so that he can sign it without waiting to re turn to the White House. The four votes against the con ference report were cast by Repre sentatives Hamilton Fish of New York, Rosebloom of West Virginia Lincbergcr of California and Blan ton of Texas. They opposed the conference report because the senate amendment suggested by Represen tative Fish to increase the allowance for attendance hire for totally blind ex-service men from $20 to $50 had been stricken out of the bill In the brief debate preceding adoption of the conference report Representative Sweet of Iowa, author of the bill, informed the house that the government would spend approximately $480,000,000 for the relief of disabled veterans during the present fiscal year. He stated that the outlay during the fiscal year just passed for this purpose was about $460,000,000 so that the increased expenditure under the Sweet bill would be about $20,000,000, Oltumwa Man Found j Murdered in House Ottumwa, la., Aug. 3.

Phoenix Hosiery P Main f,oo, Sufferer Seeks Cure by Letting Rattler Bite Him Ex-Sailor, Tuberculosis Vic tim, Deliberately Lets Dead ly Snake Sink Fangs in Hand; Doctors Interested. Fremont, Neb., Aug. 3. (Spe cial.) Desperate for a cure for tu berculosis with which he is suffering, George Burke f Fort Morgan, Colo., formerly of O Neill. Neb., de liberately allowed a deadly rattle snake to sink his fangs into his hand, believing that the poisonous venom would check the progress of the white plague. Word arrived here today of the unusual incident, Burke being known in this vicinity. Physicians are anx iously awaiting the outcome of the daring experiment after they had treated Burke for a case of snake bite. Burke is 38, an cx-sailor, who vent to Colorado a year ago to nd himself of tuberculosis. His health has been slowly failing and relief did not appear to be in sight. He hail heard that a snake's venom would kill the ravages of the plague disease and resolutely stuck his arm into a box holding a four-foot rattlesnke with seven rattles and a button.

Burke withdrew his arm from the box, seiz ed the snake, calmly severed the head from the body and waited pa tiently for the poison to begin its work. Several hours later, when he felt sure that the snake poison had had the opportunity to permeate through out his system, he called a doctor and was treated for snake bite. Latest reports state that Burke is s:ill in good health and that he be lieves his cure for tuberculosis has been efectcd. Medical authorities who berated the idea at first aie watching his case with -interest to determine whether rattlesnake venom will actually cure the plague disease.
