James Flanagan, of Saginaw, was robbed of $25 and his watch by two men with whom he was riding on the pilot of a train near-Wabash Saturday. After his valuables had been taken he was pushed from the locomotive. His Injuries are serious.

Major Samuel P. Cox, a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, died Saturday at his home in Gallatin, Mo., at the age of 85. In civil war days Major Cox gained faftie by slaying the notorious “Bill” Anderson, a guerilla chief, who, with his band of desperadoes, long terrorized northern Missouri. Major Cox also served the government, in the Sioux Indian uprisings of 1847. Under the public accountant law it is the state’s businessrto examine the books and reeodrs of the city schools and it is no longer necessary for the mayor to appoint such accountants, according to the opinion of Attorney General Thomas M. Honan. The act of 1899 has been repealed by the accounting act of 1909 and the duty devolved upon the state board, Honan thinks.
