TACKLED A DUMMY TRAIN.
A Gang of Train Bobbers
Neatly Trapped.
They Held Up a Train Loaded
With Police.
Two of the Bandits Killed and
Three Taken Prisoners.
Only One Escaped and the Chances Are
Tbat Be Too Will Be Caught.
A Bold Plot Cleverly
Frustrated.
By the Asuoctated Press.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 25. 3 a. m.—
A telephone message from St. Joseph
Bays tbat north bound train No. 3 of the
Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs
railroad, was held up at Amazonia, Mo.,
by six masked men at 1 o'clock this
rnorning. The trainmen resisted the
robbers and in the fiicht two robbers
weie killed and three more captured.
RECEIVED BY BLUECOATS.
The robbers stopped a dummy train
that was preceding the regular train.
The dummy was loaded with bluecoats,
they having been posted, and expected
the hold-up. Tbey were just rounding
a big hill in a cut, about a mile north of
St. Joseph, toward Amazonia, when the
robbers flagged tbe train. Two of them
covered the engineer and fireman, while
the others made a rush for what tbey
supposed was an express car, but were
met by a squad of officers, who poured a
deadly fire into the bandits. Two of
them fell, one mortally wounded and
the other dead. The remaining four
were surrounded, but one broke
through the line and eecaped in the
darkness, though it is supposed he too
is wounded. Three of them were cap
tured and taken back to St. Joe.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Kansas City, Sept. 25, 3:30 a. m. —
The officers of the Kansas City, St. Joe
and Council Bluffs road got wind of an
attempt to rob north-bound passenger
train No. 3, leaving St. Joe at 11:50
p. m., at a place jus* north of tbe
Francis street depot, ia a cut known as
Dag hill. The road runs under the
bluffs there. A special train of two bag
gage cara and six coaches was
made up at St. Joe and filled
with city and county officers,
and also tbe superintendent and
general manager, and left Francis
street on the time of train No. 3, No.
3 being held at tbe Union depot.
Dummy No. 3 was stopped, as ex
pected, and tbe robbers boarded it, got
into the baggage car and tbe officers
opened fire on them, killing two out
right and capturing three. There was
said to be cix in tbe gang, but one got
away. The names of tbe killed are: Fred
Kohler and Hngo Cleitze. The captured
are N. A. Hurst, Henry Garver and
Charles Fredericks. John Gleitz es
caped. Garver and Fredericks gave it
away last week that the attempt was
to be made. It was expected last Fri
day, but they mistook the train for a
freight and the express got by them.
Train No. 3 is tbe regular fast express
from St. Louis and Kansas City. The
robberß are a)l residents of St, Joseph.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
St. Joseph, Mo., Bept. 25.—A bold at
tempt at train robbery was cleverly
frustrated here just after midnight this
morning. As the: result two would-be
train rubbers are dead and three are
behind the bars in jail. Of six men
who attempted the robbery, only one of
them escaped. The robbers who were
killed are Fred Kobler and
Hugo Gleitz. The three men cap
tured are N. A. Hurst, Henry Garver
and Charles Fredericks. John Gleitz
escaped. The train which the bandits
had attempted to rob was passenger
train No. 3on the Kansas City, St. Jos
eph and Council Bluffs railroad, which
left Kansas City at 9:05 p. in. Sunday
night, and which arrived here at 12:30
Monday morning. Tha officials of the
road had been notified that the robbery
of the *train had been planned,
and ihey notified the police. When
the train arrived here a dummy
train was made up and 16 police offi
cers, under command of the chief of
police, were put on board. In order
to thoroughly deceive the robbers, tho
train wsb made an exact duplicate of
train N. 3, and consisted of an engine
and tender, an express and baggage
car, the usual coaches and Pullmans.
When tho decoy reached a point two
milts north of St. Joseph, the engineer's
attention was arrested by a lighted lan
tern, moving to and fro between the
rails. He obeyed the signal and soon
six masked men surrounded tbe engine.
One ot tbe bandits mounted the engine
and preeented one revolver at tbe en
gineer's bead and another at the fire
man's, keeping them in subjection,
while the other five men hastened
on to the top ot the express car. They
ordered the messenger to open tbe door,
which he did forthwith. The bandits
entered the car, leaving two without to
guard. The policemen who were guard-
Ing tbe train were distributed in the
various ears, tbe majority of them being
concealed in tbe express car. As soon
as the tbree bandits who had under
taken the work of robbing the car en
tered tho door, the police within ordered
them to surrender.
Tbe robbers were taken completely
by surprise, but they opened fire at
once upon the police. Tbe police re
turned the fire and a general fusilade
followed. About 25 shots were fired on
both sides, and when the smoke
oleared away, tbe lifeleae bodies of Koh
ler and Gleitz were found lying on tbe
floor of tbe car. They had been shot
through the head. The bullet which
pierced Kohler's bead produced instant
death. He never stirred after he waa
bit. Gleitz was Btill breathing, but he
died shortly after he was brought here.
Fredericks, the third robber engaged in
the fight, was not injured and was
placed under arrest. None of tbe offi
cers were injured.
While the fight was going on in the
car, those of the police not engaged in it
were looking after the two robbers who
had been left ontside to keep watch.
The police quickly took them in and
placed them under arrest. The bandit
who had been detailed to guard the'
engineer snd fireman quickly
realized the situation when 'be
heard the battle going on in
tbe express car, and promptly made
his escape. A detail of officers was put
on his track and quickiy took up tbe
pursuit with every prospect of captur
ing the fugitive.
A very remarkabie feature of tbe
fight in the express car was the escape
of all tbe officers from injury. The
tbree robbers in the car were each
armed with a brace of revolvers, and
used them freely, but still they did
no damage. The bodies of Kepler
and Gleitz were brought here on the
dummy train which returned to tbe
city soon after tbe encounter. They
were taken to an undertaker's. Prisoners
Fredericks, Hurst and Garver were
brought here on the same train with
their dead comrades and were locked up
at the police station. All the robberß
lived here.
He Left No Clue.
Newport, K. 1., Sept. 24.—TheBoston
detectives have not yet succeeded in lo
cating Thomas 0. Robinson, who is
wanted in that city for embezzlement.
He disappeared without leaving a clue.
MONEY KINGS SCARED.
MILLIONAIRES THREATENED BY
ANARCHISTS.
(J. F. Huath?Kt»n and tJnrnelius Vtndar
bill'* Palaeee to Be Blown Up—An
Army of Detectives Are on
Guard Duty.
Niiw Yobk, Sept. 24.—While the
moneyed men of New York will tell you
they have not tbe slightest fear of dan
ger to person or property from tbe al
leged great army of hungry men, now in
the slums of New York, they will admit
they have taken precautions. One oi
the first discoveries made by a reporter
was that C. P. Huntington, the railroad
magnate, and Cornelius Vaaderbiltwere
notified quite recently by anarchists
that their new palaces en Filth avenue
would shortly be- blown skyward by
dynamite.
One of the workmen at the unfinished
Vanderbilt residence also discovered a
card tacked upon the covered entrance
to tbe building. The card was covered
with a scrawl which declared the time
had come for the rich man to suffer for
tbe so-called wrongs of the poor.
It was very incendiary in tone, but Van
derbilt believed it was the work of some
crank who became agitated over the
recent newspaper discussion about an
archists and their threats. However,
another card wae tacked upon the boxed
up fsjee of C. P. Huntington's mansion
across Fifth avenue. Both cards were
nndoubtedly of the same origin, and if
the author is really an anarchist, be is
one of the most pronounced types of the
disciples of Herr Most. There are now
four times as many watchmen and de
tectives along Fifth avenue, in tbe vicin
ity of the residences of the money kings,
as a law months ago.
Superintendent Byrnes was asked if
be believed tbe anarchists would dare
molest Fifth-avenue property or its own
ers. "I do not intend telling," he said,
"just what our plan in dealing with
these so-called anarchists is, but suffice
it to say that they are absolutely under
control, and the Filth-avenue mansions
are in no danger of destruction by
bombß, I assure you."

a Spanish General.
Two Bombs Thrown at Him
by an Anarchist.
General Campos Badly Injured and
Staff Officers Killed.
Wildest Excitement Throughout Spain
Over the Outrage—The Bomb
- Thrower Arrested—Austrian
Anarchists.
By the Associated Pren.
Barcelona, Spain, Sept. 24. —An at
tempt was made today to murder Gen
eral Martinez Campos, ex-president of
the council, who made the military
pronuociamiento which gave the throne
of Spain to Alfonso XII. General
Campos was present at a review of
troops, surrounded by a brilliant staff.
He watched the maneuvers and seemed
highly pleased. Many thousand people
had gathered to witness the review.
The troops commenced to march past,
when a wild-looking man pushed
through the crowd, pulled what ap
peared to be a ball from his trousers
pocket and threw it at General Campos.
He quickly took a second ball from his
inside pocket; a man in the crowd
struck the bomb-tbrower's arm just as
the second deadly weapon was thrown,
and it exploded among tbe staff officers
not close to the general. The man who
had thrown the bomb was seized and
thrown to the ground.
The first bomb exploded right under
the horse upon which General Campos
was sitting, shattering its legs and tear
ing open its belty. The general fell
heavily and, it is thought, sustained
cevere internal injuries. However, he
wbb only partly stunned, and soon
staggered to his feet, wiped the ilnst and
blood from his uniform, mounted the
horse of an aide-de-camp and calmly
ordered the review to continue;
but tbe exertion was too much
for the veteran and, suffering
from the lose of blood, he was obliged to
allow staff officers to assist him out of
the saddle. His wound was attended by
surgeons, who tried to persuade him to
leave the field. The general laughed at
the suggestion, and entering a carriage
had it driven to the front of the review
ing point, and then the march was con
tinued, the crowds cheering the general
until they were hoarse.
In addition to General Martinez Cam
pos, General Castelln, chief of staff,
Generals Bustos and Molius and two po
licemen were badly wounded by the ex
plosion and several people in the crowd
sustained severe injuries. A member of
the civic guard was instantly killed.
Several attempts were made to kill
thr bomb thrower, who appeared to be
alone. He was, it is said, detailed to
murdar the general by a branch society
of the anarchist brotherhood to which
he belonged. When the troops near the
general learned of the attempt upon his
life it was with difficulty tbat tbey could
be kept in the ranks, as they wanted to
make short work of the bomb thrower.
Tha bomb-thrower's name is Pallas.
He is known as a notorious anarchist,
and when questioned concerning his
crime, defiantly admitted tbat he in
tended to kill General Campos and
staff. He will be promptly tried and
conrt-martialed and may be shot within
24 hours. At the bomb-thrower's resi
dence a mass of anarchist literature wbb
found, and letters also fell into tbe
hands of the police which led to the ar
rest oi the anarchists who are said to be
hie accomplices.
The news caused great excitement in
Madrid, and the review which will be
held there in honor of the birthday of
the heiress presumptive, Infanta Dona
Maria de las Mercedes, has been post
poned.
Tbe wound from which General Cam
pos, is suffering is not believed to be
dangerous, though it is a serious injury
to a man of his age, 00 years.
After tbe roview General Campos tel
egraphed the queen regent, Maria Chria
tini, telling her an attempt was made
upon his life and announcing his deter
mination to crush tbe criminals who
were thus disturbing the peace of tbe
kingdom. The queen regent in reply
telegraphed the general, expressing sin
cere sympathy and congratulating him
upon his narrow escape. The bombs
used were large iron spheres charged
with dynamite, and the explosion was
so poweriul that it broke windows in
bouses a long way from the reviewing
point, and caused a stampede in which
many persons were injured.
AUSTRIAN ANARCHISTS.
Continued Arrests in Vienna—An Inter
national Plot.
Vienna, Sept. 24.—Arrests of anarch
ists here continue, and the police are
more than ever convinced that the raid
they made yesterday, as exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press, nipped
a wholesale anarchist outbreak in the
bud. Papers found upon a man in cus
tody show that the anarchists are in
timately connected with tbe anarchists
in England and America, and the bombs
now in the possession of the police are
made exactly according to the ruies laid
down by Uerr Most. It is also said that
Russian anarchists are in communica
tion with the anarchists of Spain.
THE IRON PRINCE.
As Soon a* Able to Travol Bo Will Re
turn to Frledricheruhe.
Berlin, Sept. 24. —Router's special
correspondent sent to Kissengen for tbe
express purpose of ascertaining tbe
truth in regard to Prince Bismarck's
movements and health, telegraphs that
he learned tonight from the family of
the prince that he has decided to return
direct to Friedrichsruhe from Kissengen,
showing that bis reported acceptance of
lbo Wiesbaden palace ia not based on
fact. Prince Biemaick n ill soon be able
to travel. He Bleeps and eats well,
though hie shoulder still troubles him
occasionally, the sciatica not having
been entirely driven away.
The Associated Press agent is able to
state on undoubted authority that the
relations of friendship between Emperor
William and Prince Bismarck will soon
be restored. When the prince passes
through the city on bis way to Fried
richsruhe his reception will be attended
by all the symbols of affection.
SOUTH AMERICAN REBELS.
The Siege of Rio Keuewed — Grave
Affaire In Argentine!
New York, Sept. 24.—The Herald's
Montevideo dispatch says: Admiral
Mello, commanding the rebel fleet of
Brazil, has renewed the blockade of Rio
Janeiro, so the latest dispatches state,
and is now organizing a squadron to sail
for northern ports.
The Herald's Buenos Ayres dispatch
says: The situation here is extremely
grave. The government apparently fears
combined action by army officers of high
rank and naval commanders. Many re
movals are taking place. Chief of Police
Alems resigned on tbe plea of illness.
The chigf of artillery has been removed
because he is a Radical. The Radicals
say that they #ill prolong the agitation
until Pena resigns.
A fight between revolters and a party
of government troops occurred at Santi
ago del Ketero and resulted in tbe rent
ing of the revolters. Orellano and Oor
dero, radical chiefs, have been impris
oned in the artillery barracks.
THE VALPARAISO ROBBERS.

Valparaiso, Ind., Sept. 24.—Coroner
Coates will hold an inquest tomorrow on
Frank Robinson, the robber killed yes
terday. Tbe robbers had in their trunks
shoes with the soles cut off, heavy black
masks and cartridges. Papers and let
ters found in tbe trunk of the wounded
man show his name is Claire Robinson,
instead of Moody, as he gave it last
night. It is believed he is a brother of
the dead man, and when told so today it
seemed to unnerve bim.

men, foundered and all hands were lost.
The Pousalka, as exclusively cabled to
tbe Associated Press, sailed from Revet,
in the gulf of Finland, for Helingspont,
in the same gulf, and has not been heard
from since. The Pousalka had 4, I J-inch
armor and carried four 9-inch guns, was
of 2000 tons displacement, had 780 indi
cated horse-power and was classed as
having a epeed of 18 knots. She was
built in 18G7. The body of a sailor
supposed to belong to the crew was

severe gales swept over those waters
soon after she left port. There is no

BIG FOUR KMI'I.OVEH.
To Strike or Not to Strike, That Is the
Question.
Turkic Haute, Ind., Sept. 24.—A fea
ture of interest in tbe Big Four situation
today was a largely attended secret
meeting at Mattoon, 111., in which all
six of tbe federated orders on tbe Big
Four system were represented. It is
impossible to learn what action was
taken. But for tbe fact that the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois, tbe Milwau
kee and other roads are known to be
ready to reduce tbe men's wages if tbe
Big Four succeeds, there would be no
probability of a strike at this time.

The Dastardly Crime Laid at the Door
of the Seamen's Union—No Further

Police.
By the Associated Frees.
Ban Francisco, Bept. 24.—The scene
o! yesterday's explosion has lost little
of its horror, save that the dismem
bered bodies of the victims are no
longer among the ruins. Everywhere
in the neighborhood are evidences of the
terrific power of the explosive. Two
apartments occupied the froni of Oar
tin's boarding-house; one walk the of*
fice and bar and the other trnrdiniug
room. Of these there is little left
save a mass of splintered furniture and
woodwork, broken glass and plaster.
Beneath the spot where the deadly
power wbb released is a hole through the
sidewalk over five feet in depth. Had
the force of tbe explosion extended up
ward with the earns degree, the loss of
life would have been appalling. The
saloon and grocery next door are almost
a wreck, and in the sailors' home across
the street hardly an unbroken pane of
glass remains.
There seems to be but one theory re
garding the origin of the fiendish crime,
that in that it was the result of a long
standing feud between tbe Coast Sea
men's union and the non-union sailors.
John Tyrell, who was arrested last night,
has been suspended for non-payment of
dues, but is not generally regarded as a
vicious character. The police are bard
at work on the case, but no further ar
rests have yet been made.
The dynamite must have been placed
upon the sidewalk in front of the board
ing house about 20 minutes before
the explosion. At Jhis time Mrs. Cnr
tin heard footsteps which paused be
neath her window. Soon after a crowd
of men returned from the theater.
Johnny Curtin first saw the valise; he
picked it up and after a few moments'
examination dropped it With tbe ex
clamation : "Boys, it's dynamite I" ard
ran across the street. The others,
drawn by curiosity, gathered around the
walls when the explosion occurred.
This accounts for the terrible destruction
of life and the mutilation of the bodies.
Four men are now dead, a fifth is
dying and a sixth with only a chance
for his life, is now the mortality record
of the infernal machine. William Mc
kenzie and Edward Murphy died at the
receiving hospital today. John Curtin,
jr., son of the proprietor, was horribly
burned and is suffering from internal
injuries, end there is small chance of
his recovery.
Tbe death of Charles Bernard is hour
ly expected.
Sacramento, Sept. 24.—At a meeting
of the Sacramento Typographical union,
today, strong resolutions were passed
condemning tbe dynamite outrage in
San Francisco last night as inhnman,
and expressing the hope that whoever
participated in its perpetration or con
nived at it in any way, will receive the
severest penalty that can be imposed
opon them by law.
A MURDER MYSTERY.
The Body Fonnd Hear San Diego Helleved
to Be Identified.
San Diego, Sept. 24.—Suspicion is
now aroused tbat tbe body of the man
found yesterday near La Mesa was tbat
cf A. E. Warner, who disappeared from
this city some weeks ago after stealing
$30 from his room-mate. He was said to
have engaged passage by tbe Pacific
Mail Bteamer leaving this port Septem
ber sth for Chile, and is understood to
have had $-1000 in Chilean scrip. Hav
ing stolen the American money to meet
his immediate requirements, be is be
lieved to have taKen refuge in the brush
and' to have been murdered there by a
chance acquaintance who knew of his
Chilean money, and whose intention
waa robbery. Other theories are afloat,
but all indications are that it was a case
of murder, and not one of suioida.
