The Murderous Bandit Captured Af- tera Fusilade. San Antonia, Tex, June 28. —A daring and tragic attempt was made to-day to rob the Corpus Christi pass- enger train near Brackenridge, a small place 35 miles south of San Antonia on the San Antonia and Aransas Pass road. As the train pulled out of Brackenridge a man leveled a couple of revolvers at en- gineer, Mike Tearner, and fireman, Frank Martin, and commanded them to run the train across the San An tonia river, about a quarter ofa mile away aud stop. The engiueer in stead of complying reversed his en- gine and ran out on the running board of his engine, followed by the fireman. The robber fired on the latter shooting him through the heart. His body fell under the trucks of the tender and was badly mangled. The train had stopped by this time. Theu the robber sprang to the engineer's seat and pulled the throttle wide open. The conductor grasping the situation, applied the air brakes from one of the coaches, bringiug the train to a standstill, whereupon the robber sprang from the engine and ran down the track in the direction of the river. As he passed a section house a section fore- man, who saw the whole proceeding exchanged several shots with the fugitive but none were effective on either side. Conductor Steele and Express Messenger Butler, together with the engineer, in the meantime detached the eugine from the train and got under full headway in pur- suit. They overtook the robber near the river and exchanged shots but without effect. With the conductor and messenger in close pursuit, the robber took to the woods and took refuge behind a tree. A close call from the messenger’s pistol caused him to throw away his pistol aud The messenger and con surrender. ductor only had one shot each left: | while the robber had several in each | pistol. As the engine neared the river in pursuit of the robber, four men were seen to ride away on the other side. It is thought he intend- ed running the train ss the river | to where his comrades were, but the person it was learned that his name was John May. It was addressed tohim at Cotulla from Beeville evi dencing the fact that a confederate had been over the road to select a} place for the robbery. There were five men in the rob- bery. Conductor Ed Steele will re- ceive a reward of $1,000 from the state for capturing the robber. Sam Jones an Attraction. Sedalia, Mo, July 2.—Sam Jones has already demonstrated that he is to be the Missouri Chautauqua’s best attraction. This was the elev euth day of the assembly and the large tent was filled to overflowing both morning and night. After two hymns by the Schumann quartette and prayer by Rey. Dr. Lenig, Mr. Jones was introduced and spoke eighty minutes from the text, ‘Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.” He regretted that the local ministers were opposed to 2 Sunday admis sion fee being charged and then he rapped them by saying that Sedalia was only a short distance removed from hell, which convinced him that the clergy of the city had been fishing in the same hole for months without even getting a bite. He suggested that they get a new hole or change their bait. To-night the reverened gentleman took up the saloon question and handled it without gloves. From his remarks a stranger would have reached the conclusion that Sedaha was a second Sodom or Gomorah. She Was Buried Alive.
