A FIENDISH HOLD-UP ROBBERS LOOTED CAR THEN CAUSED COLLISION. Happened on the Great Northern Railway Near Colbert on Sat- urday Night--+The Quick-Witted Trainmen. Spokane, Wash., May 17.--Follow- ing the hold-up of a Great Northern passenger train by six bandits be- tween Colbert and Mead, on Saturday night, twelve persons were injured when the lpeomotive and mail car, cut off from the rest of the train, ran back wild after the bandits had rifled the mails of an ynknown amount, and collided with the rest of the train, which had been left stand- ing where the bandits. got possession of it. Having teken the detached mail car down the track a consider- able distance the robbers looted the registered mail and reversing the en- gine sent the locomotive and the mail car crashing back into the passenger coaches. . The conductor saw the wild cars hacking down the track at twenty-five miles an hour and he and another trainman placed a tie on the track to arvest thar fight, but the cars, though partly stopped by this means, plunged into the coaches, throwing passengers from their seats, cuttipy them with glass from broken windows, A trainman, nerved to the task, sprang aboard the locomotive. as the collision occurred and shut off the steam, stopping the Havoe. When the train reached Colbert late last night some switching had to be done, While the engine crew were busy at this work two men sprang into the cab and, thrusting a revol- ver against the bodies of Engineu William Willer and Fireman John Hall, ordered them to do as com- manded. The engineer and fireman complied, and the mail cars were cut off from thes rest of the train by fou other robbers, The locomotive ~ and mail car were then run up the track a few miles. Then the engineer and his fireman were forced to leave the cab. Two of the robbers went to the door of the mall car and ordered it opened. Their command was obey- ed Pe Benjamin I. Stumpf, mail clerk, who was hurried away from the cars with the enginemen by a dozen revolver shots. manning the locomotive themselves the outlaws took the madl cars down the track and looted the registered mail. Then they started the locomotive back to wards the rest of the train and es caped. Conductor C. L. Robertson brakeman cut the telegraph wire to send word to Spokane. While he was busy telegraphing, about hali an hour after the locomotive and mail cars had disappeared, he saw th: powerful locomotive cateering towards the coaches, in which many persons were asleep,.as the robbers had acted quietly in seizing the mail car. Many of the passengers knew nothing of the hold-up until awakened by 'the col lision, that was only cased hy the! quick work of the trainmen, As soon as Conductor Robertson realized that a collision was imminent he called on the brakésmen and por- ters to aid him. While the conductor and another man threw a tie across the track a brakeman stood ready to board the car as soon as the shock of the collision checked the impetus of the wild locomotive. The mail car was partly derailed by the tic and the wheels ploughed into the bal last, while the steam impelled the locomotive wheels to whirl on the rails. The brakesman was instantly in the cab, where he seized the throt tle and shut off the steam and ap- plied the brakes. Passengers, tum- bled from their seats and jostled in berths, rushed out to ascertain the cause ol the shock. No one was fa- tally hurt. Two speesal train loads of deputies were hurried from Spokane when the word of the hold-up was received, and doctors were taken along to care fo the injured. No trace of the robbers was found. While it is reported that the bandits obtained a large sum of money from the registered mail, the amount Being placed "at $20,000, railroad officials and mail inspectors say the amount stolen ~ is not known. One of the bandits who entered "Ui «db was more than six feet tall and evidently was an experienced engineer, As the two robbers entered the cab this n.an said to the engineer: "You have heard of us before," in dicating that they had been involved in similar hold-ups in the vidnity of Spokane within the last few months. T. N. Wilson and wife, of Spokane, were the most seriously injured of the passengers. He suffered a fracture of two ribs and Mrs. Wilton was severely bruised. had HADJIN WAS SAVED.

Hoppins' letter ine-the Whig 'of ,May Jgqth, on Single lax. 'I agree with him on "unequal" distribution of wealth being the cause of our social ills. . One of the great prophe:s of the. 10th century said "when distributive justice pervades the social world, then the sun of righteous- ness shall arise, and shed its genial rays over all the fields of peace, plenty and human happingss."

MONTREAL'S NEW SQUARE. Site of Old Ship Fever Hospital Sta- tion Is Chosen. Another square has just been com- pleted by the road department of Montreal and next spring will be laid out in walks, with grass and trees planted. It blots out what has been an eyesore to the residents of McCord street and the locality for more than a quarter of a century. The new square has been laid out on the north side of the approach to the Welling- ton Bridge, almost facing St. Anm's Roman Catholic Church. ' The site during the ship fever days of 1847 was a hospital station for many of the brave sisters, priests, doctors and laymen, who f death in ministering to the wants of the stricken victims. Many of these noble spirits fell in the performance of a Christian duty, Among others, Mr. John E. Mills, who was at the time Mayor of Montregl, and courageously did his duty as fist citizen and mag- istrate. © Wellington and McCord streets were barricaded at this point, so that those attending the fever pa- tients could not enter the city. Prob- ably the venerable Canon Ellegood is the only survivor of the workers of those terrible days. There is a feel- ing among the citizens that it would be an appropriate act to name the Ney square after the heroic Mayor ills. The property was acquired by the city at the price of $50,000 for a square, on the south side approach to the bridge, where is deposited the huge boulder to the victims of 1847. Whale Catch Good. The whale fisherias off the coast of Vancouver have been phenomenally successful this year, the total catch being half as much again as it was in 1907. The number of whales taken is 556, of an aggregate estimated value of more than $1,000,000 ($1,025, 000). The BluegFunnel liner Belle- pheron carried apart cargo 5,000 bar- rels of. whale oil consigned to Glas- gow, the Jpteeat single shipment ever made. "remarkable feature of this vear's hunting is the number of sul- phur bottoms that have been captur- od. At the Kyuquot station more than one-third of the take has been com- prised of this species, which is the largest of the whale family in the Pacifie, averaging from 70 to 80 feet in length and weighing anywhere from 70 to 85 tons. Each of these mam- mals is worth about $3,600. A couple of years ago, when the whaling indus- try was started in these waters, the prophecy was hazarded by experts that the mammals would become ex- tinct after a couple of seasons. Far from this proving the case, they have grown more numerous each year. A Lavish Steward. The owners of the barkentine Ever- ett-G. Grigs, gof Wctoria, B.C., did not long retain the services of a new steward engaged for the vessel at San Francisco sometime -ago. When Bi- mon Palmer, the newly employed of the six-masted barkentine was ordered by Cept. Delano to provision the ves- sel for a voyagé of eight months, he gave the matter considerable study and finally ordered for the use of the crew the following: Four hundred and fifty barrels of beef, 200 barrels of pork, 100 quart bottles of wine, 100 pounds of pepper, 300 pounds of salt, 400 bags of potatoes and 100 pounds of salted almonds. The item of salted almonds, when it fell under the cap tain's eye, furnished the safety valve for an impending attack of apoplexy. The steward admitted that his knowl- edge of supplies was based largely up- on an account of the supplies needed by the battleship fleet when it sailed from the Atlantic coast. The Griggs sailed with another steward and the magnificent order was cancelled. ------------------ Dreams of Children.
