I KILLS BANDIT WITH A ROCK Quick Action of Engineer on a Train Robber. TWO SUSPECTS CAPTURED Colorado Midland Passenger Held Up and Engine Crew Forced to Walk to Express Car—Fireman Dashes Un- der Coach and Engineer Strikes Bandit With a Rock and Receives Bullet Wound in Return. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 3.—In a desperate attempt to hold up west- bound Colorado Midland passenger train No. 3 four miles west of Divide an unknown bandit was instantly killed by a rock thrown by Engineer Frank Stewart, after he had shot the engineer in the leg. Sterling and Charles Martin, two young men who were found near the scene of the holdup, are held for in- vestigation as to their complicity in the robbery. Sterling Martin was slightly wounded in the head by a bullet. The highwayman crawled over the tender as the train slowed up at a siding to meet the eastbound train. As he stopped the train Stewart turned to see his fireman, Paul Bach- man, standing with his hands above his head, and heard the robber say, “Put up your hands or I'll blow your head oft.” The robber then forced both men to leave the engine and marched them before him to the express car. Engineer Tells of Holdup. According to the story told by Stew- art, who was brought to a hospital here, the robber ordered them to tell the express messenger that they were in peril of their lives; that the train had been held up and that the robber was determined to have the money in ‘the express car. Stewart states that the robber fired several shots at the heads of passengers who looked out to see what was happening. “When we got to the express car,” said Stewart, “my fireman dashed un- der the car and crawled to the other side. The robber leaned under the car to shoot at him and when he took his eyes off me I struck him with all my strength with a rock I had picked up as I jumped off the tender. As I did so he whirled and shot at me, the bullet striking me in the leg. I guess my blow finished him, for he never moved after the rock hit him. I must have fainted, for the next I knew the con- ductor and express messenger and a group of excited passengers were standing about me.” When the remainder of the train crew heard the shots they seized weap- ons and rushed to the head of the train, firing as they came. Stewart was given immediate medi- cal attention by physicians who were on board and was brought to Colora- do springs. His condition is not seri- ‘ous. Sheriff Naps Two Suspects. Shortly after the holdup Sheriff von ‘Puhl and a posse scoured the country near the scene of the attempted hold- up and discovered the Martin broth- ers hiding in the brush. Sterling Martin aws dazed by a bul- let wound in the head. He is out on parole from the state reformatory. The Martins claim they were riding the blind baggage and were beating their way to Grand Junction. They say Sterling Martin was struck by a stray bullet from the bandit’s gun. They are held for investigation. The dead robber wore a cloth mask and a gunnysack tied about his neck. He was armed with two cheap re- volvers which had evidently been un- used for some time. The engineer and fireman say he spoke with a Swedish accent. There was nothing on his person to identify him. His body was left at the scene of the holdup until the arrival of the coroner from Cripple Creek. There was no unusual shipment of money in the express car, but the bandit told the fireman as they marched alcrg the train that he in- tended to rifie the passengers as well as the Wells-FFargo box.

New York, Sept. 3.—The recent mar- j riage by an Episcopal clergyman of Fritz Augustus Heinze, the Montana copper king, to Mrs. Bernice Golden Henderson, who divorced her former husband some time ago, has been called to the attention of Bishop Bur- gess, head of the diocese of Long Island.

Dr. Handel and ask for an explanation. Farmer Killed in Fall. Roscoe, S.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Teafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Rustachian Tube. When this tubeis in- flamed you have a rumbling sound orim- perfect _hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and_uniess the inflammation cau be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but aninflamed condition of the mucous sur- taces.

The presence of American marines on Nicaraquan soil led to one of the most serious complications between the Madriz and Estrada forces on the eastern coast. They were landed to protect Ameri- can property and American lives, ac- cording to the state department, but Madriz claimed that the United States violated the neutrality laws of the na- tions in landing them on Nicaraguan territory and prohibiting his proposed attack on Bluefields and the“blockade of that port.
