ROBBER HOLDS UP TRAIN
He Ordered Passengers to Dig up in
a Hurry
West bound passengor train No. 3,
oo the Burlington road whioh arrived in
Denver at 7.10 o'olook thin morning
was held up live miles cast of Haiglcr,
Nth , at 1 *40o'olook by a lono masked
robber who socured about #100 in money,
two diamond ring*, one diamond
stud, thrco gold watches and other articles
of minor valuo, all tho property
of passengers. No women passengers
were molested.
The lone robber, flourishing a revolver,
made his way through the oar and
forced his victim* to hand over their
property, threatening to shoot if they
did not comply. A good description of
the road agent was scoured and Burlington
t llieiftl* immndiatnlv nffnrml ?
rcuard of $1,000 for his capturo and
oouviction.
Tho robbor boarded the train at Bcnkleman,
20H miles south of Denver,
where a stop was made to cool off a hot
box and take on water. After the train
left Boukleuian, ho mado his way to
the rear car, the Chicago sleepers and
there covered Dorter Boll, Brakcman
Tomiinsou with a rovolv<r and com
polled tlmm to start through tho oar,
drawing back the curtains from borths.
The robbor confined his operations to
tho men and his orders wcro sharp and
to tho point.
"Dig up your purses," he commanded.
B. W. Wilson, of Sacramento,
was in the Chicago sleeper. Mr. Wilson
"dug up" $2(1 in gold and a diamond
ring worth $175. 11c had otner
money and his watch but tho robber
overlooked thoso.
"I had no time to think," said Wilson
today. "Whon tho man orderod
mo to dolivor my valuables 1 know that
ho meant what ho said. 1 simply
handed him what was. oonveni it and
ho went on. Ho had mo oovev 1 with
his revolver and was proceeded i tho
brakcman, whooponcd tho ourta?-s for
him. There was comparatively no excitemont.
It was all over in a fow minutes
and when tho robber dropped off
tho train in tho dark there wcro few
whoroalizod fully what had happonod. '
Large sun spots, astronomors say,
caused tho extreme heat this summer,
and doctors dcolaro nearly all tho pros
tratious wero induced by disorders ot
tho stomach. Good health follows
good digoetion. Kodol DyBpopsia Cure

500 Boxers soven miles from M&ohipc.
Tho Boxors wcro armed only with

Russians succecdod in killing tho commander
of tho onomy's forcos. Tho oas

A dispatch from Galveston says the

tho Twolfth stroot wharf for tho pur
poso. Tho firemen rendered hereto

HOWTHESTORMCAME.
It Was Predicted Two Days Before
It Came
The tcrrifio oyolono that produced
such a distressing disaster in (ialveston
and all through Texas was predicted
by tho Unitod States weather bureau
to striko Galvoaton Friday night and
'oreated much apprehension, but tho
night passed without the prediction being
vcriliod. The conditions, however,
woro ominous, tho danger signal was
displayed on tho llagstatf of tho weather
bureau, shipping was warned, etc
Tho southeastern sky was sombre, the
Gulf beat high on the beaoh with that
dismal thundorous roar that presaged
troublo, whilo tho air had tho stillness
that betokens a storm. From out of
tho north, in tho middlo watbhos of the
night, tho wind began to oomo in spitoful
puffs, inorcasing in volumo as tho
day dawned.
Ry 10 o'clock Sunday morning it was
almost a gale; at noon it had increased
in vclooity and was driving tho rain,
whipping the pools and tearing things
up in a lively manner, yot no serious
apprehonsion was felt by residents rcmoto
from tho encroachments of tho
Gulf. UosidontH noar tho beach were
aroused to the dangor that threatened
thoir homos. Stuponduous waves bogau
to Bond their wators far inland, and
tho pooplo bogan a hasty exit to scourc
places in tho city. Two gigantio forces
woro at work. Tho Gulf drove tho
wavos with irrosistiblo foroo high upon
tho boaoh, and tho galofrom tho northoast
pitched tho waters against and
over tho wharves, ohoking tho sowers
and il coding tho city from that quarter.
Tho stroots rapidly began to fill with
water; communication bogan to bo difficult
and tHh helpless pooplo wo'o
caught botwocn two powerful elcmonts,
whilo tho wind rapidly inorcasod in velocity.
Railroad communication was out of!
shortly after noon, tho track being
washed out; wiro faoilitios completely
failod at 3 o'olock and Galveston was
isolatod from tho world. Tho wind momentarily
inorcased in volooity whilo
tho waters rapidly roso and tho night
drow on with dreaded apprehonsion do_!.i
-J il. * O *
piuiou in mo iaoo 01 every ono. Already
hundreds and thousands were
bravely struggling with their families
against the mad wavos and tioroo wind
for places of refuge. Tho public school
buildings, oourt house, hotols, in faot
any place that offered apparently a safe
refuge from the elements, became
crowded to their utmost. Two minutes
of 6.30 p. in., just boforo the ancmomctor
blew away it had reached tho
' frightful volooity of lOOmilos an hour.
Huildiugs that had hitherto stood,
f tumbled and crashed, oairying death
and destruction to hundreds of people.
Hoofs whistled through tho air, windows
were drivon in with a orash or
shattered by flying slato, telegraph and
electric light pole,n,i with their mat-sos
of wires were snapped off liko pipe
stems; and^Ntter communications were
broken.
What velocity tho wind attained after
the anemometer blew olf is purely a
matter of spcoulation. Tho lowest
point touched by tho barometer in the
press correspondent's offioo, which was
filled by frightenod men arid women,
was 28.011 2; this was about 7:80 p. m.
It then begaa to riso very slowly and
by 10 p. m. had readied 28 00, the
wind gradually subsiding and by midnight
tho storm had passed. Tho water,
which had reached the depth of
eight foot on tho strand at 10 o'clock
p. m. bogan to obb and ran out very
rapidly and by 5 a. in. tho orown of the
stroot was froo of water. Thus passed
out ono of tho most frightful and destructive

A dispatoh from Livorpool says tho
' cotton market was feverish Wednesday

I strengthened under tho influence of the
advanoe in prices in Now York and
r unfavorable American crop reports
Tho spiqners and manufacturers have
> boon buoyed with hopes that a good crop
, would insure prosperous business in
1901, but tho diminished crop prospoots
i and tho delay in ozportations from (ialI

hard in bringing bodies to tho wharf ?tr

wero aooordinly sent out and cycry
ablo bodied man they found was

wero worked in relays and wero nip- Mi

loads containing about 70b human Mi
bodies had been sent to sea, wherothey Mi

No elfort was uiado after 0 Ot

Tho Soaboard Air Lino is experiencing
a slight taste of imperialism
in having to buy $20,000 worth of xovoi
nue stamps to put on its mortgago to
i tho National Mortgago company; and

to pay tho United Statos government
several thousands of tho legacy loft by

citizen who doos not deal so inuoh in
millions and thousands, pays his sharo
all the same, but ho pays it in small installments

overhanging New York must bo like
