A Train Robber Arrested. [Svecial to the Kansas City “ Galveston, December 2 egram from Houston to the tive city states that a man named .\ C. Stewart was ar ed there to-| day, charged with being one of the Chicago and Alton train robbers who operated at Glendale about two | s yearsago. The United States officers have been onthe track of Stewart for a long time, and he is in some way connected with the first ¢ dale robbery, and the man known is ““Bob,”’ about whose head so much mystery clings. Itis also thought | that Stewart and Bill Wesi, under arrest at Dallas, are connected in some way, the request tor both 4 rests coming from officers in Mis- souri. imes.)

During Friday night viliians came to | 4 the house, outraged both the girls, | saturated their clothing with oft, set | the house on fire and killed young | Frank Gibbons, who was a‘tempting | to give the alarm. All three of the dead had their heads split open with a hatchet. No elue to the murder- ers. A thousand doilars reward is offered for their capture.

Fast upon the accusation alleged | to have been made by Gene Joe | Johnston t rson Davis was guilty of sequestering $2,500,- ooo of confederate specie just after | the collapse of the southern conted- | eracy, comes a whole host of denials | of the story, as well as explanations showing th : Bee impossibilit ot ! t} 2 ling, un stances as alleged. {t is not necessary, however, to revert to the denials made, nor in- voke any, to give discredence to the accusation. Mr. Davis’ _ life, mode pf living since his release from prison, has been such as to create absolute disbelief in any such story against his integrity and honesty. His has been a life of retirement, or penury almost. The war wrecked | his fortune, and had he sequestered | or disposed of the funds as alleged, it is not presumable that he would have led the life ot abject want, which he did the first few vears atter the war, or until raised to agate by being made the legatee of the plant: ition of Beauvoir in ier This is proof enough of the falsity ind the numerous d nials are only accumulative evidenc of it. Representative Reagan « Texas, who at the time, when the leged sequestration took place wi state ifederate jane Ss the rat secretary of 1s prompt to den in denouncing the story not onl malicious emanation, but exp as well, the utter impossibility of such a ‘gemoval’ ot funds, from the simple facts thrt so much coin wa not on hand in the treasury as was on hand, was paid out to the troops. Senator Williams of Kentucky. possessed of full knowledge of the removal from Richmond of all funds on hand, confirms M his account of the disposition of funds. The following letter sasiee| sed to the 7émes is further proof of » same thing.—Kansas City Times. “On To Okiahoma- The Atlantic originally d vided ions, first the St. Louis to Vinita. was completed to Vinita ten years ago last August, when in 1875 this part of the road went into ‘Bank ruptcy, and in 1g76 it was sold out under the mortgage and a new com- formed, which was called the Louis and San Francisco, now uns, and Pacific into vastern division, from | operating that portion of the line.
