One ran rapidly toward the engine j and climbed into the cab. He had a: gun in each hand and quickly had J the fireman and engineer under sub-; jection. As soon as the train was! stopped another baDdit ran to the i mail car and hammered the door. . During this time both men were shooting rapidly alongside the train | to intimidate the passengers and: train crew. It is estimated they fired at least fifty shots. The bandit in the engine cab forced the engineer and fireman to j accompany him. While one of the' bandits stood guard over the en- i gineer the other one compelled the j vfireman to enter the mail car and j point out the registered mail. Then marching the engine crew back to the engine they ordered them to proceed at full speed to Denver, threatening to shoot if not immediately obeyed. The robbers fled and! the train ran to the nearest tele-1 graph office where the robbery was reported. V" 1 Ano We receivec hand was g selected by < perience.

" * Result of Father's Objection to Daughter's Beau. A good joke is told on one of our over-the-river neighbors who sveral years ago had a family of good looking daughters, who were smart and good workers. They, of course grew up and the boys, as is natural, took a fancy for them and wanted to marry them, but the old gentleman for some reason (perhaps best known to himself) objected to and used every precaution to prevent any of them from marrying and especially one young fellow who was especially distasteful to the old man. As time passed on this young renow ana nis gin went on wim their courting "unbeknowing" to the old man. The old man had the house surrounded with a strong pailing fence and there was no means of ingress or egress, except through the gate, which he kept pretty well guarded both night and day. They knew they would have to run away if they got married. So one morning he awoke to find a hole in an unguarded part of the fence and his girl was gone?gone to get married against his will or wish. He was at his wit's end. None of the family claimed any knowledge of the elopement, but the old man thought differently. Turning to his other girls, whom he suspected would soon follow suit, he said: "If you want to go, go now while the way is open."? Gaffney Ledger. GIRL SURGEON'S SUCCESS. Miss Fannie Belle Walton, of Georgia, Makes Unusual Record. Eatonton, Ga., Feb. 11.?Miss Fannie Belle Walton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J.

Many Negroes Arrested. Pittsburg, Feb. 12.?In a raid the police of Brownsville, Pa., arrested 150 negroes who have been loafing about the coke ovens. All were discharged at a hearing later and ordered to leave town, except six, who are being held pending an investigation of their records in Pittsburg, Cleveland and other places.
