Private Wilson and Sergeant Hoey were endeavoring to induce a young soldier to stop chumming with Beacham on the ground that he was an improper char- acter. Beacham brooded over the mat- ter and, crazed with drink, attacked and killed Hoey and Wilson. The shooting of the others is reported to have been unintentional. The three ‘bodies were brought’ to Manila for in shipment to America. e DL ATON NN 2 Absolutely Pure Y TIPS LTI of fruits, comes YA From Grapes, the most healthful chief ingredient of made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Costs a little more than the injurious alum or phosphate of lime powders, but with Royal you are sure of pure, healthful food. / ' T O-LAALASS AL O/ LU T LA the P T2 LS RELIC OF MOUND BUILDERS| Remarkable Discovery Made Near Boone, la.

Seattle, Wash,, May 13.—J. E. Per- rine, express messenger on the Great Northern train from Seattle for Van- couver, B. C., was beaten over the head with his gun and tled hand and foot by two men who entered the train just as it was leaving Seattle and who, after overpowering the ex- press messenger, looted the strong box of a sum of money estimated at from $1,000 to $10,000. The robbers escaped. Just as the train was pulling out from the King street station in Seattle two men dressed in brakemen’s uni- forms entered the express car. Per- rine paid little attention to them, sup- posing they were trainhands. As he was stooping over his strong box, which was unlocked, one of the men snatched Perrine’s revolver from his pocket and struck him over the head. He did not lose consciousness, but was beaten until he was powerless, although still able to know what was going on. The higshwaymen then tied him hand and foot with heavy wrap- ping cord and proceeded to loot the strong box. Perrine was not discovered until the train was some two miles out of Bal- lard. Brakeman Latham entered the car and found the messenger. He no- tified the conductor and the train was backed to Ballard, where Assistant Division Superintendent Chapman was notified. A brakeman’s cap worn by one of the robbers was found in the car. The name of Anderson is written in ink in the inside. Mother and Child Killed.
