It then glanced off and struck B. F. Leinenger, a horse owner from Fairfield, Ill., who was sitting infront of his tent. The ball struck him near ths wrist and lodged near the elbow, shattering his arm badly. A horse trigbtened at the shot, ran away and severely hurt Cecil Chambliss of this city. “A great deal of excitement pre vailed among the citizens and horse- men and some talk of lynching was heard, but up to alate hour this eve-| ning, no signs of mob violence has been seen,” Neb Shobs formerly lived west of Butler, and is well known in this city. i Bucklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped | ' hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and positive'y cures piles or no pay requir It is guaran- money refunded.

SHOT THE FIREMAN, KiLLED THE ENGINEER, Triet io Keow up the Express Car. for North, Tex.,—Jualy 22— Masked «:n last night killed the fireman aod shot the engineer of the Sauta Fe exprese, captured the train and ran it for several miles, and then tried to blow up the ex- press car with dynamite. The only thing that kept them from blowing the whole train to emithereens and killing a number of passengers was the failure of the fuee to burn long enough. The ex- plosive they attempted to use was sufficient, if it had ignited, to have destroyed the entire train. The train, a south bound passen- ger, due here at 10:20, was held up at Saginaw, eight miles north of here Two of the robbers boarded the engine at Saginaw and covered the engineer. The two masked men crawled over the back of the tender and opened fire on the engineer Joe Williams and the fireman W. W. Whittaker, without saying a word. They kept on shooting until Whit- taker who was shot through the head and breast, fell dead from the cab. Williams sank to the floor of the cab badly wounded in the right leg. The robbers then pushed the bleeding helpless engineer to the ground and took charge of the loeo- motive. They ran the train towards this city to a point about one and a half miles north of the limits. There they brought the train to a stand and an assault was made on the richly laden express car. But here it wasa case of Greek meet Greek. Express meesenger Howard lock- ed the door of the car and seizing his Winchester stood guard against attempt at tearing away the window bars. Seeing that an entrance could not be gained by ordinary means, the bandits placed a tremendous charge of dynamite under the express car, and hastened away to a deep cut to await the explosion. But no explosion followed | fuse had died out. | Meanwhile Supt. Pandell, who | was on the train had come forward | with the crew an secured a posee. The latter swooped down on the cut and opened fire on the hiding jrobbers at close range. | But the darknees prevented accurate |shooting. Some 70 shots were ex- |changed between the robbers and | the officers. It is believed that one lof the former was killed as cne was seen to sink in the high grass. } None of the officers were hit. While waiting for reinforcements | | from the city the posse permitted the! robbers to escape, but they are be- ing followed to day.

Hamilton, Mo, July 20.—General Shafter the hero of Santiago, was a resident of this county forty years ago. In 1858 the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad was completed this far on its westward course to St. | Joseph. General Shafter and brother were “braking” on the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad. While railroad- ing, he learned that a teacher was wanted at Breckenridge, in this county. He got the school, quit railroading, taught a term, returoed to his home and wentinto the army, These facts are vouched for by old settlers who knew Shafter. HARD TO BELIEVE.
