T., June 2.?The details of the robbery last night of the W ells Fargo Express car of the Santa Fe passenger train make a . story unexampled outlawry oif~Tllepart of the bandits and brave resistance on the part of the custodians k of the express company's property. f The robbery was an unique one in the history of Indian Territory out lawry. In the first place the robbers - got everything in sight. Again, during the battle between the messengers and bandits, in which nearly g '200 shots were fired, not a man was wounded. Then again, the robbers were of gentlemanly appearance and deportment in their relations with the trainmen, who were not pressed into service, and with the passengers, spvpral nf whr> rnnvprsprl wifVi flip robbers' leader. Finally, the robbery was doubtless r committed by the notorious Dalton gang for whom large rewards are still standing and who were even e then being trackedby a detective and his posse, who were behind them no more than a day's journey on horseback. It was 10 o'clock when the train reached Red Rock in the northwestern part of the Otoe and Missouri reservation in the Indian strip. 3 Just as it was pulling out a few minutes later two men, with black masks covering their faces, jumped suddenly in the engine's cab from the tender and covering the engineer and fireman with their revolvers, com j raanaed them to run the train to stock yards and to stop at a given signal. Carl Mack, the engineer, and Frank Rodgers, the fireman, obeyed the command. To have resisted i robbers were joined by five masked companions. Their leader com| manded the engineer and fireman to walk back to the express car, and commanded the fireman to break open the door with his coal pick. F. ' : C. Whittlesey, the messenger, and J. A. itiem, tne guard, anticipating I j what was going on when the train I ' came to a stand still, had blowed out | the lights in the car and refused to 1 j allow any one to enter. The bandits I then opened fire upon the car from all . sides, but the two men within reJ I ; sponded promptly, aiming all their ' ! shots at the door. The highwaymen I I shot into the car from all quarters, : even getting under it and shooting ' j through the floor. Their firing, however, was all to no effect, for the | messengers bravely stood their I I ground. In the meantime one of the rob; bers had choppoed a hole in the door of the car large enough to admit a ' ^ "U /vw/-] iVk a rrroo ILLiXll S UUUJ, axiu LJJC uicuiau r? no ? told to crawl through it into the car. This placed him literally between two fires, and Engineer Mack, seeing that I it meant death to his companion, ex| plained the situation to the messen^ ! gers within and told them to cease firing. When the robbers at last en- ! tered the express car they covered those within with their guns, and j with a sledge hammer and chisel ! broke open both way and through ! safes and robbed them of everything I of value. % y j They also took $50 and a gold j watch from the guard of the express Mr AFpwsnna-er Whittlesev had hid ^ I ; ? | den his money and watch and the n i robbers got nothing from him. id j The robbers are described by sevI eral of the passengers who talked ! with them as being well dressed and | of gentlemanly appearance and bearing. This is especially true of the leader, who apologized to the enr9 | gineer for a rough remark made by | one of his crowd and promised him ! that it should not occur again. The -i j # | leader, in conversation with a passeniu | ger, asked for some smoking tobacco. ^ ; The passenger reached into his coatI tail pocket for it, when the robber j told him if it was in his hip pocket ? j he had better not attempt to get it. j The amount secured by the robbers ' | is unknown, as the express company ?< > ! i 1 A j Das mam; uu staiexueuv. auci I robberrv the men mounted their -5. horses and rode oft* to the southwest. tr* ,re | The Daltons are charged with the : Cj-jme, and judging from the descrip 3o- j lion given of the robbers by those oi ; who are acquainted with the Daltons. J.. I _ ^ it was undoubtedly that notorious jrang. The detective and his oosst no ? had been on the latter's track for some time.

The readers of the the Lexington Dispatch will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Once upon a time a man and his wife agreed to write down the faults they saw in each other and read them carefully, with a view to self improvement. They were to be handed to each other at the same time. So one morning before leaving the house the husband handed his wife a bulky envelope and in return received a little sheet of note paper. "Of course," read the wire after the husband had gone, "you have some faults, an I would really take it as a token of your love for me if you would try to / correct them. I notice that you never wash the dishcloth out when you are through with the dishes, and that you use one towel for everything, instead of a separate one for the silver, the glass and the china ware, as my mother did. Occasionally I come j home and find you with your hair j in curl papers. The girl I used to ! go with before I met you would never show herself to any one unless her hair was frizzed. You are probably as good as the average wife, but I j hope you will try and correct these ' faults, as wrell as others I will speak i about next time." ^Vhen the husband reached the j office he untwisted the little note in bis hand and read tfre following: 'T loue you, John.

This was another advantage for Mitchell, and his backc? ers pressed it all the harder. It was now 1 a. m., but the Mitchell cohorts, many of whom had had no sleep for forty-eight hours, did not C propose to quit the wigwam till their b man had been pushed to the front k and nominated. R. S.

P Mitchell current was too strong to 71 be stemmed, and on the roll call of & a counties, the motion to adjourn was lost, 241 to 175.

The "Board" to "Magister." . | To the Editor of the Lexington Dispatch: In the outset the Board wishes it understood that it has no " it has ill will against itiogiouv.. treated him respectfully, notwithstanding disrespectful treatment from liim. Now we propes to make "'A a plain statement of facts. We reto be d^TnrT^s^^u'e he has forced it, he must bear it. "Magister" failed to get first grade certificate from this Board at the October examination. This should not have caused him disappointment for the questions were comprehensive and to answer them took much care and time. Besides, his average was 75 per cent.?almost first grade. Then he had received second grade from a former Board; and at the April, 1891, examination, after working till sunset on three branches, he gave up, failing entirely. True, the questions on this examination were difficult, and many good teachers in the State failed. But there were . several here at the examination whc . secured first and second grades, twc 3 negroes making third. And yel "Magister" assumes an injured aii I when he failed to get first in Octo f ber last. There was no name knowi e to the Board in its examination o: v papers, and "Magister" received [_ with the others, liberal grading When he presented himself before th< Board to make complaint, he was ac e corded a respectful hearing, at hi p request having pointed out his mis ie takes on some branches. The Boan d replied to him that if he so desired, i a- would go over his papers again am + ?1 n 1 i. v^wnl-innr fhp i- he held. But he refused to accej at the proposition. The Board the ?

E[e was then informe it- that he might copy his work, ar se make an appeal.

False. There were teachers who, after working all day. left one or two branches untouched. The Board gave such teachers grades on those branches that they seemed entitled to from the grades made on the other branches. He says the Board refused to let the public hear what it had to say to him when he asked for an explanation. Untrue. The Board is very willing for the public to know its every act: and it challenges "Magister," or any one else, to prove any irregular or wrong action on its part. He says "Discipulus" said in his last !he Board' to prevent his publish- I ng his own answers promised to I publish correct answers. Every one i 'xeept "Magister," caught the" sarasm of "Discipulus" in saying that perhaps the Board, to prevent that ' aVYll&L i/jac \ n failing to comprehend the plain j Cnglish of "Discipulus" "Magister" | lemonstrates bis inability to obtain j i first grade certificate.
