T., Oct. 2.—Notwithstanding that a territorial law is in force winch makes train robbery a capital offense a gang of desperate characters have renewed a line of business which it was believed would never again darken the criminal history of Arizona by holding up yesterday eight miles east of Tucson the eastbound Overland. The robbery was not a success financially. The robbers secured only about sfrAOO. One of the robbers now lies iu the jail at Phoenix, suffering from live wounds inflicted by Sheriff Murphy of Maricopa

county.

As the Overland was leaving Maricopa a brakeman discovered three men riding the blind baggage and ordered them to get (iff. They refused and before the brakeman knew what was going on he was looking down the barrels of three G-sbooters. Covered With a Winchester. The eiiKint'er and fireman hoard a shot and came to the conclusion that something was wrong and began slowing up. About this time a voice came from thejwindow saying: “Hands up!” When the men in the cab turned about they saw a man with his face masked. He covered Holliday with his Winchester. The train proceeded to about a mile east of Maricopa where it came to a standstill, the robbers so ordering. Then two men emerged from aelump of bushes at the side of the road and joined the robbers. Conductor Martin alighted to ascertain the cause of the stoppage, and immediately two bullets whistled uncomfortably near his head and he heard the words: “Get back on the train or we will fill you with lead.”

Wichita, Kan., Oct. 2.—For 20 years Wichita has felt easy about cyclones on account of an Indian legend which said none ever visited or would visit it. The legend as well as the popular source of security were bursted last night when a rain cloud from the west came iu contact with a storm cloud from the south, both at once fusing and proceeding to “do business.” The division headquarters and the Twelfth street depot of the Missouri Pacific road was the first

building struck, and it was completely the questions which Havemeyer and demolished, the roof striking the stable Searles refused to answer were not perti-

1 nent. The questions requested the ape-

court of appeals and the cause was remanded with directions to strike out from the restraining order of the court the clause which aroused the country when the order was issued and which resulted in the Boatner investigating

committee of congress.

The interventors representing the leading labor organizations of the country asked that two sections of the injunction be eliminated. The court of appeals decided that no court could compel a man or a lx>dy of men from quitting individually or in a body the service of an employer. The court said that Judge Jenkins ha l exceeded his powers when he enjoined the employes of the receivers of the Northern Pacific Railroad company from quitting the service of said receivers, with or without notice, so as to cripple the property or prevent or hinder the operation of said railroad. It held, however, that the section should stand in which the men were prohibited “from combining and conspiring to quit with or without notice, the service of said receivers, with the object and intent of crippling the

Marriage Ceremony.

CL1.VKLAND, O., Oct. 2.—A romance involving the happiness of two young lovers had a singularly pathetic final scene here last night. The hero was a brave fireman and the heroine a beautiful young girl. Yesterday afternoon the steamer State of New York, lying at the wharf here, took fire. Among the first to respond to the alarm was hook and bidder company No. 1, of which William Heiser is a member. As the truck rounded a corner Heiser was thrown off and a wheel passed over his body, crushing his chest. He was taken to the hospital and when informed that he could not live summoned his sweetheart, Annie McGittrick, to whom ho was to have been married iu a month. The dying fireman could scarcely speak above a whisper as he expressed a wish to make Annie his wife before he died. Friends hunted up the probate court clerk, and at a late hour he was found, a license was secured, and Father Vahey and the parents of tho young girl and the fireman’s mother hastened to his bedside. There was no time to be lost, for Heiser was growing weaker every moment. As the ceremony was about to begin the injured man lapsed into unconsciousness. The d ctor waited for a return of reason, but in vain. He fell the patient’s pulse md announced to the guests that he w is dead.
