e — RAILWAY ROBBERS Four of Them Caught in an Attempt to Capture a Train on the Missoan Pacific. Bold Scheme Frustrated by Mem- bers of the Police Force. Kansay City Journal, 16th, The passengers who come in last evening over the Missouri Pacific on the train due in this city at 8:50, may heartily congratulate themselves that through the efficiency <of one of the officers of the public force they were saved from a train robbery which threatened to surpass any of those previous, in daring and horrible re- sults. Kor a week or more the officors of the police force have evidently been on the qui vive, and it was plain to interested observers that something big was in the wind. Yesterday after noon at about 2 o’clock Capt. Malloy, Sergeant Lnyder, Officers Nugent Bryant and Hunt, left the city very mysteriously, and did not return until9) o'clock last evening, at which time they tuned up at the station with four prisoners in charge, and weap- ons enough to start a first-class arse- nal. The prisoners were genuine train rcbbers, who had been caught in the very act of preparing to wreck and rob a passenger express train The officers left the city on the C. & A. train going east at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and with instructions to the engineer to stop the train about six miles east of the city. At this point .the officers alighted from the train. The place was one well fitted TO WORK A SCHEME of the kind laid out by the thieves and especially 8o, as there was a large pile of ties, old iron and rails close be- side the track. It was in a ‘kind of cut, and near the point where the Chicago & Alton and the Missouri Pacific curve, and come very near to- gether. Captain Malloy left his men behind, and went ahead to reconnoi- ter. He had not gone far before he saw two men sitting near the track. The track was so curved that he was enabled to get very near before his presence was perceived. When the two men discovered him they started up, but he called to one of them to come towards him, The feilow did not seem disposed to obey, and began to draw a revolver, but the captain ordered him to put it back and come to him if he did not wish tg be killed. The man then obeyed, and both of them gave themselves up. Not long after two more men were discovered and they were easily cap- tured without any resistance. They .ware terrified into telling THE WHOLE STORY n which it was show n that they had three comrades who had not yet arriv- d but who were to have taken part in the robbery. The officers and heic purspers then sat down and wait- d until dark, expecting the others of he band to arrive but they did not make their appearance. It is suppos- ed they came and saw the police with- out being seen, and concluding that discretion was the better part of val- or, left. This supposition is confirm- ed by the fact that as the police were on their way to town they stopped at Sea- ler's wine garden on the Independ- ence road and discovered that a short time before the three men had stopped there, and were, at that time, on their way to the city. The prison- ers confessed the scheme to the cap- tain. They had intended robbing only the express car, and had ar- ranged to first attempt to stop the train by signals, but if unable to so had made arrangements to ditch it by placing ties and obstacles across the track. They had also ar- ranged to tear up some of the track west of the obstacles, to make their fiendish scheme secure. They were all heavily armed, but the weapons were all old-fashioned and nearly use- les. There were four large revolvers found on the prisoners, and one shot- gun which was heavily charged with buckshot. A large stock of ammuni- tion was also discovered, and black cloth to be used in making masks, and soveral masks already cut out. Eyerything was arranged to accom- lish their fiendish purpose, cost what it might. HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED, Some two months ago a man named Kelly was arrested ,in West Kansas by Officer Todhunter, and, while be- ing brought to the station, attempted to throw the policeman over the Bluff street wall. He was clubbed by the officer, who finally succended in" get- ting him to the station, Kelly was lately from Las Vegas, N. M., and at the time of the arrest volun- teered the information to Capt. Mal- loy that a scheme was being con- cocted in New Mexico to rob a train near this city. The captain took this a8 a pointer, and since that time has been closely watching matters. Not lang ago he heard some conversation among a crowd of young fellows in this city whith aroused his suspicion. Clcse watch ng brought to light fur- ther surpicious circumstances, and finally the date and nature of the pro- posed scheme were discovered. Mon- day night aconsultation washeld cn the matter, and the captain was given the privilege of choosing some men and working the case up to smt him- solf. The result has already been told, and to the efforts of the captain and the police is due credit for saving not only an immense amount of money but in all probability the hves of a large number of people. It can be fw wer imagined than described what che result would hayve been had the villains been allowed to carry on their hellish designs, INTERVIEWING THE PRISONERS, A Journal reporter was shown down to the southeast corner cell of the cen- tral station, where the would-be rob- bers were quartered, The cell was dark, except as it was lit from the open doorof the stove, but from this source there was sufficient light to show that instead of being men of the supposed Jesse James type, they were beardless boys who looked much bet- ter fitted to the ordinary pursuits of boyhood than to train robbing. The oldest one claims to be but 18 years old, and there was one who was nearly of the same age. The other two were younger. They all !I’l"”"fid rather sheepish, and not at all' inclined to brag about about their intended exploit. Three of them re- mained sullenly quiet. The other, Jim Noon, was a little more talkative, and gaye the reporter the following points: The plan had first been laid some three months ago, in this city. It had first been spoken of in fun, and afterwards was talked of in earn- est. Shortly after the first broaching of the subject, Noon went to New Mexico and was there at work. While there, he saw a man from Kansas City who informed him that the scheme was 10 BE CARRIED OUT, Shortly afterwards Noon was called back hore by lotters aunouncing the sickness of some of his friends, and he 80on joined the band that had the scheme in view, They had laid out their plaus a la the conventional Jesse James style; had appointed one man | to settle the engineer, with a shotgun if necessary; two men to take the ex | pross car and go through it, and the | other four wereto walk backwards and forwards along the side of the train, firing pistols and calling each other “Jessie,” “Frank” and “Ed.” Two of these men who have not as yet been captured are older, and had, to a large extent, planned the thing. They were the ones set apart to take charge of the express car. The idea was 10t to rob the passengers at all, but to get the money from the express car They had in- tended to signal the train to stop it, but in case this should fail they had made preparations to have the track torn up or obstructed so that the train should be ditched. Rails and sleepers were at hand to be used for this purpose. The scoundrels’ only regrot seemed to be that the scheme had failed. When questioned by the reporter, Non said: “If we had not been caught, by this time the train would have been lying in the ditch.” All of them were DOGGED AND SULLEN, and disposed to say as little as possi- ble about the matter. To the police, however, who captured them they were so thoroughly frightend that they confessed the whole story. Mere boys as they are, they seem heartless and hardened, and though terrified at the punisment which they see glaring them in the face, they are not in the least penitent. Noon says that one of the parties not yet captured is a brother of O'Shea’s and is but 16 years old, It will be seen that the story of Kelly, who is supposed to have es- caped from jail at Las Vegas, coin- cides to a cerwain extent with the story of one of the robbers, and there seems to be little doubt that the scheme was actually discerned by at least one of them, in New Mexico. The three men who are actually de- serving of punishment for the heinous crime, although still at liberty, will probably be captured very soon. They are well known, and are not well enough acquainted with the business of fleeing from justice to thwart the officers in their search. The deed contemplated was one of the most daring o} its kind in all the long record of Miseouri train robberies, and would undoubtedly have resulted fatally to many persons. The whole affair is very shocking, from the fact that the would be perpetrators are mere boys, and boys who are well known here in Kansas City, Their names, as given by themselvesves, were Jim Noon, Tom O’Shea, Pat Hanley and Peter Speer. e Second Edition of Job.

The plan has proved a success. It has given universal satistaction to the patrons of the paper, and has in- creased the subscription list to a de- gree far above the expectations of its publishers. Many patrons of Tue DarLy Bree have asked why we do not offer them the same inducements held out to sub- scribers of Tue WeekLy Bee, In re- sponse to the inquiry we make the following offer: Each subscriber to Tue DaiLy Bek who pays his arrears of subscription and remits pre-pay- ment for six months and every new subscriber who remits pre-payment for six months will be entitled to one of the premiums mentioned in our list. These premiums will be dis- tributed in the same impartial manner which marked our first and second dis- tributions. This scheme was first devised to collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of the Weekly Bre, Its suc- cess exceeded our expectations. We have now no back collections on our weekly edition, have established the prepsyment system, quadrupled our circulation and correspondingly, en- hanced the value of our advertising space. A number of subscribers to the Daily BEE are now in arrears, and if by an exteusion of the same plan we can induce them to pay the amount due us, we can well afford to make this liberal offer, By this means we hope to still further increase the large list of the Daily Beg, and having es- tablished the prepayment system we propose to maintain it, as we are doing with our Weekly edition. To those who are not familiar with our plan of distribution or the manner in which the premiums are secured by us we append, the explanation made to our Weekly sabscribers, which ap- plies equally to the subscribers of the Daily Bek. ‘Two years ago the publishers of Tue THEF UmAauA DALILY BEE: FR“)A)' Bee devised a scheme for collecting back pay from delinquent subscribers, securing renewals and extending the circulation of this paper by a distri- bution of valuable premiums, The success of that experiment, both in the collection of back pay and increase of prepaid subscribers wis 8o encour- aging that the publishers ventured upon the same system of premium dis- tributions on a more extensive scale last year. It was demonstrated that we could better afford to distribute the money usually paid to agents, local collectors and attorneys, directly to our patrons by offering them extra ordinary inducements to square ac- counts and prepay for another year. By this method we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula- | tion of Tie Weekry Bee and extend ing its influence far beyoud the boundaries of this state. During the first year culy a portion of the arvicles distributed were pro- cured in exchange for advertising. When the marked increase in circula- tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan- dise at our disposal in paying for ad- vertising. That enabled us to do what seemed incredible —namely, fur- nish a metropolitan weekly for two dollars a year and give our subscaibers premiums that aggregated in value ¥20,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. What grew out of a desire to collect baok pay has developed into a new and practical idea. We have discov- ered that we can afford to make our subscribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising. In other words we can afford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- creased circulation. Advertising space in THE Bek that was worth one hun- dred dollars five years ago Will com- madd one thousand dollars to-day. This fall more goods and machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than we could accept in view of the limited space we devote for that purpose. What we have con- tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has ever been offered for distribution by any news- paper and that too without paying a dollar in money. The only outlay in cash we expect to mcur in connection with these premiums will be for post- age and expressage. This explains exactly how we procure our premiums and why wo can give away property of 80 much value. All the premiums in our list are worth at retail just what we represent them. In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesale dealers we ac- cept them only at wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those Who receive them. ‘Tue BEE has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi, and to-day circulates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a view of acquiring reliable in- formation about the resources and de- velopment of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them- selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than ten years been under one man- agement pursuin, a course that has established gor it public con- fidence at home and a wide reputation abroad, Tue BEE could not ord to engage in any underiaking that was not conducted fairly and hon- estly. The distribution in 1880 and 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers. The coming distribution will be made in the same impartial manner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may selecy from their own number, and in such man- ner as they think fair and equitable. Last year all the premipms gave good satisfaction, excepting some engrav- ings which were notappreciated. This Kum no engravings, maps or pictures ave been placed among the premi- ums, Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of Tue Bek, nor do we need to inform them that the principles it adyocates, and the fearless defense it makes in behalf of the producers, makes it al- most indispensible to the industrial classes of the great west. No intelligent person would expect that every subscriber will receive a $0650 threshing machine, a $500 piano, a $300 harvester, or a $150 organ, but all have an equal chance in the distribution, Each subscriber that pays up his ar- rears and preEnyn another year, and every new subscriber that remits pre payment for one year, will receive a premium worth at least One Dollar at retail. As a matter of fact, Tur Omana WeekLy Bee is worth the subscription price, Two Dollars a year, to every farmer, mechanic or merchant, Without boasting, we as- sort that no weekly paper, cast or west, can compare with it in variety and choice selections, general news, interesting correspondence, and no other paper in America containg as much far western news, ranging from the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river, With the proof of good faith and honest dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments wo pub- lish, we can safely enter upon our en- larged undertaking ot this year, con- fidently believing that its success will be mutually satisfactory and advan- tageous, E.

This company has the’ reputation of making the most durable instruments made 1 Ameriea, and for tone and tuno their Pianos are second to none, Possessing fine water power and a fac: tory built with special reference to the manufacture of the best instrument at tho least possible cost, this company g our have advantages enjoyed by no castern | factory. They have near at hand in | large “quantities the finest timhor in the world, and have an opportunity to make the first seloction, and save the high freights which must bo paid by eastorn manufacturers, and conse- the money than any other makers, The College of Music at Cincinnati, one of the largest institutions of the kind in this country, after trying the pianos of all the best makes discarded all others and are using only the Cuasg, and decided that 4t possessed all the qualities nece: to with- stand the Hardships of nuine mus- ical warfaro. This speaks volumes in favor of these excellent instruments, the product of western enterprise and skill. All disinterested experts ad- mit that these pianos are made better than those from any other factory and that they are the most servieable. The piano we offer s their ~tyle seven and for elegance of \ppearance, beauty of tone and solidity of structure cannot be ex- celled. Partios who aro not familiar with this make of pianes would do well to write to the factory for an il- lustrated catalogue. The other piano on our list is the samo style and quality as the one we gave last year, and will b avpreciated by the party fortunate enough to re- ceive it. THE THRESHING MACHI The first one onthe list is from Pitts & Son's celebrated factory, of Chicago, Tl1., and has a reputation for rood work over the whole country The Gold Medal Thresher is from 11 known firme of Robinson & nuond Ind.

THE SELF-BINDING HARVESTER. The reputation of the Marsh har- vesters is so well established that no special description of them is deemed necessary. e will only state that this is their latestimprovement.

This machine stands at the head of the header family and has met with most surprising success, The factory at Hastings, Nebraska is kept busy the year round, and the past year has not been able to make enough to fill all orders. 'These headers do more work with less power than any other style of reaper, and with less loss of grain than by any other mode of har- vesting. THE AMERICAN GRINDING MILLS which we offer as premiums are guar- anteed to be first-ciass in every re- spect, simple in construction, durable and easily managed. These mills are intended for grinding feed and are valuable to every farmer; they can be adjusted 8o as to grind meal fine enough for table use. The fortunate farmer who receives one of these mills will certainly be well pleased. The mills are complete with pulleys, and can be attached to any power.” They ire manufactured by the American Grinding Mill Company, Chicago, IlI- inois. These arc the same style of Mills wo gave as premiums last year, and wero appreciated more than any other premiums of equal value, It SEWING MACHINES, Thoe Sewing Machine which we give 18 premiums are all new and first- class, manufactured by the Singer Manufacturing company of New York, who have a reputation and do business in ry city and village in the Umted States and Europe.

SIN 'These wagons are made by the Kansas | , Manufacturing Company, of Leaven- worth, Kas., a western flrm with truly western enterprise. They are making a first-class wagon and will soon be supplying the entire trade of the weat. THE CHAMPIOM CORN PLANTER is the old reliable rotary drop, made by Beedle & Kelly, of Troy, Ohio. These goods are as staple as white sugar and are iudilpennqwle on every well regelated farm. We are safe in recommending 1t as the best corn planter made. KING COCKLE MILLS, These mills are new and simple, soparating cocklo chaff and all sced from the wheat, is also used as a seed separator, This mill works with a cer- tainty and rapiditynot attained by any grain manipulating device heretofore placed on the market, It furnishes its own metive power and needs no blast or agitation.
