WORK OFCOOK’S GANG. I Missouri Pacific Train Held Up Near Wagoner, I. T. A FUSILLADE OF BULLETS. Every Window In the Care Riddled and Two Persons Shot, One Fatally — Little i Money Secured by the Desperadoes. [ Empty Car and a Turned Switch Used to Stop the Passenger Train. Fort GrhsoN, I. T., Oct. 22.—Passenger train No. 223, on the Kansas and Arkansas Valley- branch of the Missouri Pacific, was held up and robbed by masked men at Coretta Siding, seven miles east of Wagoner, I. T., at 10 o’clock Saturday night. The bandits adopted a plan somewhat; out of the ordinary to accomplish their designs. Instead of flagging the train or removing a rail, they placed an empty car upon the main track, and into this the passenger train crashed. The robbers were of the most desperate nature, and before the train had fairly come to a sudden stop they commenced a vicious onslaught. At almost the first volley two persons were wounded. When the passenger engine struck the obstruction with considerable force it was ditched and rolled over upon its side. The robbers were decidedly quick of action and the engine had hardly toppled over before the fusil began. Got Less Than #SOO. But little money (less than $500) is said to have been secured. The robbery was the work of the Cook gang of outlaws who have recently been terrorizing the teiji|yry. For two months all railroads passmgfchrough the territory have been heavily guarded in fear of an attack, and money shipments have been refused by the express company. All the cars excepting the sleeper were shot full of holes, and not a whole window remains. The train struck the obstruction across the track after being shunted on to a siding, the outlaws having thrown a switch for that purpose. The money secured was from the local safe. During the fusillade Jack Mahara, advance agent of the Mahara minstrel show, received a fatal shot in the“ forehead and Wi.lter Barnes of Van Buren, Ark., was struck in the cheek by a bullet.

Passengers Robbed. After the train had been brought to a standstill and the firing to a certain extent had ceased, the robbers proceeded to rob the passengers. Considerable money and other valuables were taken from the passengers. The robbers kept up a constant firing upon the outside while the work of plundering the passengers was in progress. They shot out all of the windows in the engine, baggage,’express car and coaches. Eight or 10 men were in the gang, and they were disguised so as to resemble Indians and negroes. » Four armed men called at the section house at Ross Station, six miles north of Wagoner, I. T., yesterday and at the points of Winchesters compelled the section foreman to prepare their dinner. They were armed to the teeth and are thought to be a part of the band. After eating dinner they started west and the section foreman followed them to their hiding place in the brush on the banks of Bull creek. . Chicago Time* Changes Hand*.

The Clover Leaf will probably put on a fast train, to be known as the “White Line,” which will make the run between St. Louis and Toledo in a much shorter time than the trains now running. They run on a pretty fast schedule now with through trains, but this will be “the” flyer.

Wm. Archbold, the news dealer, who recently fitted up a nice and convenient rig for the purpose of facilitating bis busines, shows still further good judgment by erecting in the rear of his place of business, a nice shed to put his horse and rig in, which shows be has great kindness for dumb animals. Ayers wants to see Kern’s friend that has the “stuff,” so he can give Kern a chase for the cbampipnship of our county and the filthy lucre. Now, boys, it is all right for you to test your powers of endurance and skill in working the wheel, but when it comes to betting then we are sure you are mistaken. Mr. David Layman returned to-day from a visit to Lancaster, Ohio, where he was very familiar in his boyhood’s days, and was much surprised with the great improvements that had been made since he left there forty-six years ago. He attended the county fair at that place and said it equaled any State fair he had ever seen. Hon. J. T. Kitchen, of Rushville, Ind., was in the city to-day. He is a member of the council of that city and is on a tour of inspection of streets in various cities paved with vitrified brick, and was much pleased with the appearance of Second street in this city, and said it was made much cheaper than any he had yet seen.

The walnut tree in this part of the “Country is throated with extinction and the lumber commands a higher price every year. An exchange says that if farmers would occupy the waste land on roadsides by planting young walnut trees it would not be many years until they would find a material addition to the value of their farm. Isaac Zimmerman is erecting a nice cottage residence on his land between the two roads east of town. The work is being done by Suttles & Moon and when completed Ike will have one of the nicest and convenient houses around here. His mother has also completed a nice residence just across the road on the South side. The train that bad been announced to bring ex-PresidentHarrison here today to speak at 2:50 o’clock p. m., did not arrive till an hour later, but in the meantime the people, menßfvomen and Childrep, had gathered to the number of probably two thousand. When he arrived he was quickly conveyed to the road on which he came to the stand which was previously ’ prepared where he immediately commenced his address to the people, which was listened to with interest but was heard by a few.

As we are many times asked by the good people of the surrounding country when the terms of the several county officers expire, we herewith giye the time of expiration as follows: Auditor and Clerk, Nov. fi, 1895; Treasurer, Sept. 5,1895; Recorder, Oct. 4, 1895; Surveyor, Nov. 18,1894; Sheriff, Dec. 22, 1894. The clerk of the state printing bureau, will be ready to issue election ballots to county clerks by next Monday, Oct. 21. The clerk of each county must present credentials bearing the seal of the court, before be .will be allowed to have the tickets. Applications for ballots must be made no later than Oct 29 After that date, the ballots will be sent out by special messen ger and the expense of the errand charged to the derelict official. On Sunday November 4tb, 1894, the dedication services of Mt. Victory church will be held.

Everybody is invited to be present and enjoy the day with them. The dedicatory sermon will be preached by Bishop Floyd, of Dublin, Ind., one of the noted divines of this state. Prof. L. Corbin’s cornet band discoursed some fine music .on our streets yesterday afternoon to a large crowd of people. The boys have made Wonderful progress since they have organized and with the assistance and encouragement of our citizens will be numbered among the best bands in the state. Let our people come to ths front with a liberal donation so as to encourage the boys in their work, and Decatur will have what she needs—a first-class band. Bigotry and Know-Nothingism have been introduced into the campaign by the Republicans, and from now until November these un-American agencies will be invoked to secure votes for Republican candidates. This will be a matter of surprise to many who have listened to the assurances of the Republican leaders that the ideas advanced by the American Protective Association would not be adopted by flie party in the present contest. Evidence secured in the last two days by the corresspondent of the New ork Times shows that the country is being flooded with A. P. A. literature, and that the Republican Congressional Committee, • despite its protestations to the contrary is behind the movement.
