Chicago Times: When Adonis Dixy re- turns to the city next week it is said that among the impersonations he will give will be an imitation of a man paying his gambling debts. During his last visit here he in- dulged himself in betting on the es then in progress at the West-Side Driving park. Not having his magical cane with him, Adonis lost heavily. He had no money, at least mot enough to pay the score, and his ereditors had to put him on their list. He lost in all about £1,500, of which #1,040 was due to Riley, the poolman. The balunce was in smaller sums to various bookmakers, among them George Hankins, Hankins, it is claimed, did not want to trust Dixey and refused at first to take his bhets, until he saw others booking them, when he put down for £200 on ahorse which ran the wrong way of the track. When the races finished Dixey home to the theater a wiser and an exceed- ingly poorer man, He left hisT. 0. U.'s with the book-men and told them to call at the theater. The next day was Saturday, and, owing to the matinee,” Adonis was not at the races. Inhis place came E usive Rice, his manager. He excused Dixey's ab- sence, and said he was something of a betting man himself. He also put money on horses which started with the rest but never cawme in at the finish. When the men called at the box-oftice that night, they were informed that the percent ing to Dixey had been d, It was too late to begin proceedings then, and Dixe) went east with the company.

August came, but the hopes of the poolmen sauk beneath the zero mark of de spair as the letter that they longed for never ame. The next act took place in Kansas. ¥y, where Sam Small, the revivalist, re forrcd to Dixey in a sermon as a blackleg and a gambler. The Times, of that city, pub lished the sermon, and the actor—that' is to say, Dixey—sued the paper for criminal libel, The showing was such that the prosecution dropped the suit without submitting the case to the jury. The scene now chunges to Chicago, where Manager Henderson of the opera house, communicates with Riley to the effect that he could have his money next week by calling at the box oflice. There are several stories afloat as to the cause of Dixey's action. One is that he had just be- fore lost 3,900 at brace faro in_a down-town hotel, Dixey’s frieuds claim that he had not time to pay the claim before he left the city, and that the publication of the story here by the pool men determined him to wake them wait for the money till he got ready to pay it At any rate Riley is again subsisting ou a Qiet of hope. going tow Ldward b g again alive, Both » held for mis to marble blank told Weather lndications.

This should now allay all apprehension on that score, and the association can get down to solid work without for fear of adisa ment of their affairs by reason of prospective disloy- alty on Kansas City’s part, Dr. Worley, the secretary of the local club, while in Kausas City recently, had a loug interview with Mr. Meunges, during which the latter informed him that he neither hus nor will have any- thing to do with new American association club to be put it at his city, that his fortunes are indissoluably cast with the Western or- ganization, and that he will trust to luck and sce whether the at- 1zens down there will not support a team that puts up first-class ball at 25 cents admission, better than they will an inferior team at 50 cents admission. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Menges will not be disappomted in his ex- pectations, for by all that is just and equita- ble he is entitled to the fullest encourage- ment und patronage at the hunds of the base ball devotees in the city at the Kaw's mouth. At the formation of the new Western asso- ciation he organized and incorporated a club under the name of the Kansas City Base Ball club, transferred the franchise held by new grounds and has begun ommodious grand-stand and pavilion.

The management is working aw with commenduble assiduity, and by the time the blue bird's plaintive note har- bingers the opening of spring, every- thing will be in admirable shape for the inauguration of the greatest season of base ball this city has ever scen.

An Officer's Story of the Breaking up of the Gang--Deeds That Al- most Equal the Exploits of the James Brothers, Memphis, Special to the Chicago Times Among the passengersarviving on the Memphis and Charleston vailrond this morning was James Burrow, the notorious leader of train vobbers in the wost, who was recently captured at Montgomery, Ala. The prisoner was heavily ironed. The Burrow brothers have made a bad record, and are known throughout the United States asa dangerous and desperate pair. They ave compn tivey young in years, but old in devil- ment. They came to the front as out- laws and train robbers about two years ago, and since that time they have led in several of the most daving exploits in the criminal history of the country. They have the reputation of being bold and bad. P. R. Burns, who was for along time regularly employed as a detective by the Pinkertons, and issnow engaged by the Southern Express compuny in that capacity, reached the eity Tuesday morning from Texarkana, Ark., and hearing of the escapade with the des- peradoes in Montgomery, came on here to investigate. He thoroughly posted on the wild career of James and Reuben Burrow, in Texas and Arkan- sus, and has in his possession a confes: sion from one of their pals, who un- folded the history of their erimes. It makes a very thriiling story. The de- tective shows the Burrow brothers up as follows. “The Burrow boys, Rube and James, began their reer as daredevils and train robbers in the west less than two years ago, but they have done lots of bold work, and it has all been stacked up against themn, So far as the publi kuows they first came to the frout in December, 1886, T think it was on the night of December 10, 1886, that the got in their first work on the mail and express train on the Fort Worth and Denver City railrond. They had been up in Indian Territory to rob an old Indian woman, who was said to have piles of money. But that scheme went through, and they were making th way back toward Dublin, Tex. The boys had been out several weeks and were dead broke. They wanted money and were determined to have it. The train stopped at a tank near Sunset to take water, and then the boys got in their dirty work. The Burrow broth- ers were assisted in that robbery by two men, Thornton and Henderson Brom- fey. They covering the engincer and conductor with their Winchester rifles and six-shooters, and then, while two of fhem held the train crew at bay, the other two went through the train and robbed the passengers. They made a light haul, however, as that train did not carry the mail and express. They only got what money they found in the pockets of the passengers, and a lot of jewelry, watches, and other valu- ables. Theve wore five negro United States soldiers on the train, and the de peradoes took their pistols away from them, The Burrow brothe have that since that time they have fre- quently met men whose pockets they went throuch on that train, but were not recognized. “Their next brated Gordan train robbe and robbed the mail and ex- n, near Gordan station, Tex., the Pacific railroad. They made a big haul and got $2,624 in cold cash. They had previously made an attemet to rob that train and failed, but seceeeded the ond time.

But the Burrow boys and Henderson Browley did the job. They stopped the mail and express train near Benbrook, on the Pacific and Rio Grande division of the Texas Pacific rail- road, a few miles out of Fort Worth. The three desperadoes robbed the train and only got $289. It is said that the amount was so small that Rube Burrows kept the mon the sam ©0n stember 20, 1887 Jim Burrow and W. L. Brock robbed the same train and the same cr Benbrook. They had been out several weeks rounding up cattle. They ed money and determined to execute their threat to rob that train again. They tied the horses out and planned to rob train in a swamp near the station. Rube, Burrows and Brock got on the engine as the train w pulling out from the station, and as it was dark they we not seen until the train was near: bridge in the swamps where they h committed the first robbery on th train, and whe they had left Jim Burrows waiting for them. They coy- 1 the enginecrand fireman with their six-shoote and told him where they wanted the train to stop. Of course the engineer obeyed ovders, and when the train_stopped Rube und Brock were joined by Jim, and they went through the train - They compelled the exp messenger to wnlock the safe, and they got 889, They accomplished the rob- without fiving a shot. In the first instance, when they robbed the train near Benbrook on June 4. they fired sev- eral shots to intimidate the passenge rew, hut nobody was hur gang then retived and nothing more was heard of them forseveral months. The Burrow boys went buck to Rut stock farm, about three mile rom Stevensonville, Tex. In October \ting out the farm, the brothers returned to their home ruon, Lamar county, Ala. After arviving in Alabuma they wrote back to their former comrade, W. L. Brock, at Jucksonville, T ovember telling him to meet them at Texarkana, Ark.. on or about Deceraber 1, and they would take him with them in ascheme to make some money. Rub wrote the letter, and in it he also advised Brock to writ to Henderson Bromley to accompany hiwm, and both of them to meet Rube and Jim in Te kana at the appointed time, But Bromley was teen in Louisiana and did not meet them, +On the $th of last month the fast mail and expr vin on the St. Louis, Ar- kansas & ‘Texas railroad was robbed ar Genon station, about seven miles from [exarkana.

The weather was bad and they wore slickers (rubber- cloth ovi s), and carried the Win- chester vifles concealed under the slick- They then boarded the first teain and went back to Texarkana. They did not leave the train, but one of them got out and bought tickets for the three to Cameron station, a few miles further, and there they got off the trainselected the spot, and settled upon the plan of robbery. They camped in the woods about ‘three hundred yards from the railroad, and intended to vob the train that night, but as she only slowed up a little, and did not come to u stop, the boys could not get aboard. They re- turned to their hiding vlace in the woods and waited until the next night, when they exceuted their devilish plans to the letter, They robbed the express car of about $3,000, keeping the messen- gor well covored with ‘fimn- six-shooters and Winchester rifles They aid not molest the passengers, and, after gotting the money, left the train, and again disappeared in the woods, In the moan- time the porter had jumped off the train and 1 back to Genoa and re- ported that the train was being robbed.

After mak ing way with the envelopes they pock- eted the mone, tarted for Tex- arkana afte! About three miles from Texarkana they were met by the party of officers and’ citizens who had started out in search of them. Jim Burrow carvied the money. When tho posse met the three men in a cut they suspected who they aind ordereid them to halt. The boys started off and the party fired upon them. The boys veturned the shots, but kept goir They got out of the cut and left the ra roud, both pursued by the posse. In the excitement the boys threw their slick- ers away, and Rube Burrow lost his hat, a Texas sombrero. The detectives sub- sequently got the lost hiit and slickers, and the hat gave them the first clew to the identity of the robbe On the lining was the mark “Utterbach & Dublin, Texa One of the slickers also had the private mark of a firm in Dublin and gave strength to the clew. “After the skirmish with the were the posse, robbers wandered several days in the sulphur bottom, having divided the money between them. ‘They then parated, Brock going to Jacksonville, x.. and the Burrow boys coming to They made their to the Tron Mountain railroad, and arvound by Little Rock and Memphi In Texas Rube Burrow traveled under the name of ‘R.
