This Noted Band of Desperadoes Attack Another Train.
THEY SECURE BUT LITTLE MONEY.
A Missouri riiclllc Kxprest Train Stopped Near Wagoner, I. T.—Cam Kidillod With Hullets Two
Men Shot*
PAKSONH, Kan., Oct. 22.—The Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 223, on the Kansas and Arkansas Valley branch, was held up by four or five masked men at Coretta siding, 7 miles east of Wag-oner, I. T., at 1U o'clock Saturday night. £n empty car was placed on the main track and the train struck it. Tho robbers commenced a terrible onslaught and two men are reported shot. But little money is said to have been secured. All the curs excepting the sleeper were shot full of holes and not a whole window remained.
How the (Jang Worked.
The moment the train stopped tho bandits began firing into the forward cars. There were eight or ten men Sn the gang who distributed themselves along the side of the train. Two of them mounted the engine and forced the engineer and the fireman to alight. They were marched to the express car and threatened with instant death unless they compelled the express messenger to open the door of his car. The messenger refused to open at first, but as the robbers kept firing a fusilude of bullets through tho side of the car he finally complied to the commands of the robbers and* the entreaties of the engineer and fireman and threw open the car doors. Two robbers immediately entered and secured all the money in the local safe. The}' commanded Messenger Ford to open the through safe, but when he explained that the combination was only known at the main olliee at the end of the line they loft the car.
Itnbbed tho Passengers.
Meanwhile the other robbers had been going through the train demanding the mouey and valuables of the passengers. Before they had completed their work a freight train which had followed the passenger closely out of Wagoner drew in Fight and Cook ordered his followers out of the train. The gang instantly remounted their horses and firing a parting volley at the train rodo off in a northerly direction.
Two Men Shot.
While the robbers were at work inside the car their confederates on the outside kept up a continual firiug which had the desired effect in scaring the passengers and trainmen and preventing resistance. Two men were wounded, one of whom, John Mabara, advance agent of a minstrel company, xnay die. ile was wounded in the forebend,
OtHcer* Forced to Gfve I p. Walter Barnes, of Van Huron, Ark., was also slightly injured by a bullet striking him in the cheek. Special Officers Iielmick and Dickson, of the Missouri Pacific, were on the train, also United States Deputy Marshals Brunner and Casaver, but they were covered by Winchesters in the hands of the bandits before they could make a move. Casaver lost a watch and a six-shooter.
The entire train was completely riddled with bullets, every window being broken. The engine cab was shot all to pieces, even the steam gauge and gauge lamp b/ing shot away and the ground around the wreck covered with empty shells. It was a miracle that many lives were not lost, as fully 200 shots were fired.
LOIH Will Not Kscpcd 91,000. FOHT SMITH, Ark., Oct. 22.—Express ollicials here say that their loss by the "Wagoner train robbery will not exceed SI,000. The train carried a small amount in the local safe and the robbers were unable to break into the through safe. •.%W
Work of the Cook Ganjf.
The robbery was the work of Cook and his desperate gang of outlaws, who have recently been terrorizing the citizens in the territory. For two months past all railroads passing through the territory have been heavily guarded in fear of an attack and many shipments into the territory have been refused by the express compaii3\ Man}* depredations of the gang, especiall\f within the past week or two, have shown this precaution to have been timely. For days the gang has been represented as being at different points planning a robbery, and thorough preparations were made to meet the expected attack. The outlaws evidently anticipated a desperate resistance and began their work with fierce fightiug.

A Terror Captured.
LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 22.—For many years "Injun Jiin" Howell and hissons Jeff and Wesley have been regarded as terrors to the more peaceful residents of this and adjoining counties. Wesley, the elder son, was captured finally and after a hasty trial sentenced to a lonj? term in tho penitentiary, where he now is. Since then the neighbors who assisted the state have been visited by numerous disasters. Several barns In tho neighborhood have burned and one or two of the persons have been fired upon. During the last term of court the grand jury gathered together sufficient evidence to warrant the finding of three indictments against Jeff for arson. Tho officers have had men watching the Howells, and Saturday niyht a posso of several police and deputy sheriffs succeeded in surprising and capturing Jeff.

Capital.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—The Russian ambassador received a dispatch from Livadia Sunday afternoon saying that the czar was much better. This neivs was communicated to all callers at the embassy.
From S-. Petersburg tho News hears: "Tho latest advices from Livadia are that despite the fact that he is out of bed, the czar's case is hopeless. The doctors have discovered that he lias a cancer. In the last ten days he has lost thirty-two pounds. The excitement here and in Moscow is indescribable."
Sr. i'KTKHSHUlio, Oct. 22.—This official statement sent from Livadia was made public at 8 p. m. Sunday: "During the last twenty-four hours the czar iias had rather more sleep than on the preceding days, llo rose to-day with his usual appetHp, is somewhat better generally and is more composed than oil Saturday. Otherwise his condition is unchanged."
No confidence is felt by the people in the official announcements. The meagerness of the news has left room for the craziest rumors, which multiply on every street corner and in every cafe. It is said that the czarewitch has renounced the succession, that the czar is dead and that the fact is suppiessed, and that Grand Duke George died two days ago. Official bulletins do not dispel these rumors. The last story is tl»at the czarina's mind has broken down under her many afflictions. Despite the intensity of the interest in the czar's condition, the theaters and restaurants are crowded as usual. In the churches throughout Russia prayers have been said for the czar.
LONDON, Oct 22.—A telegram has been received in Paris stating that the czar diod at 8 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The report is not believed, but every effort is being mado to ascertain its truth or falsity.
