Personal and PoIiticAl.
In the Thomas trial in Chicago on the 7th
Eev. Dr. Parkhurst presented amended
charges, setting forth that Dr. Thomas
taught doctrines contrary to the Articles
of Religion of the Methodist Church, contrary to the established standard of doctrines of said Church, and contrary to the
belief of the Church. The charges were
also accompanied by specifications in detail. Dr. Thomas replied to the charges and
specifications, alleging indefiniteness, and
that the charges were made for insufficient
reasons. He pleaded not guilty to all the
charges.
The Pennsylvania Republican Convention, held at Harrisburg on the Sth, indorsed the administration of Governor

however, suggested by some that the best
present would be " a spider iu his dumpling." Guiteau was said to be in remarkably good health, slightly heavier than when
he was committed on July 2, and in better
spirits than a few days before. He had, by
some means, learned that the President had
been taken to Long Branch. A dispatch of the 9th says: "When he
sees or hears anything that indicates the
President is getting better, he states that he
is praying for his recovery, but when there-
verse is heard, he intimates that the inspiration he had to kill the President is right, and
that if he (the President) dies, it will be because it was decreed by Providence. Recently he has spent much time in studying
his ease, and, evidently from his questions,
he will try the insanity plea, for he
is asking what will be th3 effect of a
verdict in his case, should he be declared
not guilty by reason of insanity—whether,
on such a verdict, he would be sent to the
Insane asylum for an indefinite period, or
only until the officers should pronouuee
him sane, or whether the verdict could not
be as above, with the addition of the words,
at the lime of the commission ot the
crime, and, in the event of such a verdict,
whether- he would not be entitled to his
freedom."

of the Church. All the charges
and specifications were sustained.

-nounced as follows: ''By paragraphs 209
and213 of the Discipline I find that it is

Tlie   President.
IN their official bulletin issued on the
afternoon of the Sth Drs. Bliss and Hamilton say: "By special request of the President, it has been our duty to say, in this
public manner, to Surgeon-General J. K.
Barnes, Surgeon J. J. Woodward and Dr.
Robert Res'burn, that, in dispensing with
their services as his medical attendants, he
was actuated only by a wish to relieve
them of labor and responsibility, which,
in his improved condition, he could no
longer properly impose upon them. Both
the President and Mrs. Garfield desire to
express to these gentlemen personally, and
in the same public: manner, their high appreciation of the great skill and discretion
Which they have so constantly exercised as
associate counsel in the management of his
case up to the present time."
Ox the Sth special prayers for the recovery of the President were offered at Long
Branch, and the day was generally observed
in like manner throughout other portions of
New Jersey and in Massachusetts and
Maine.
The condition of the President on the
10th was not altogether satisfactory, although much more favorable than on any
preceding Saturday since" he was wounded.
During the night he was quite restless and
talked incoherently at times. This was followed by a dullness which worried his attendants. The physicians discovered that
the right bronchial tube was congested, and a
febrile increase later in the day than usual
gave rise to fears that an abscess was forming in the lungs. Dr. Agnew expressed the
hope that the congestion might be thrown
off, but should an abscess be manifest, he
said it would be necessary to cut for
it. On the llth the unpleasant symptoms continued, andthe President seemed
to have had something very like a
relapse into his old Washington conditiou.
The morning bulletin reported the pulse at
104, and the temperature at 99.4; buf it was
added that the wound continued to improve,
and the parotid suppuration had greatly diminished, and that the President "slept
well during the night at intervals of half
an hour to an hour." At noon the
pulse had increased to 110, and the temperature to 100; at 6 p. m. the pulse was 110;
temperature, 100.6; respiration, 20. In his
dispatch to Minister Lowell at 10:30 p. m.
Secretary Blaine said that the President had
been somewhat better since 5 a. m.,
but his pulse, temperature and respiration had been higher for the entire
twenty-four hours than on -any
preceding day since he reached Long
Branch. His dispatch closed: "His other
symptoms are not reassuring, and his general condition gives rise to anxiety." The
President's appetite continued good and his
food appeared to be easily assimilated.
"LATER toWS.
The President's condition was more encouraging on the 12th. The parotid gland
had practically healed, and he had much
less trouble with his lungs. During the day
some members of his Cabinet visited the
sick chamber and consulted with the patient with respect to their official duties. A
much better feeling prevailed than on the
preceding day, and both surgeons aud attendants reported the distinguished patient
as progressing favorably. At noon his
pulse was 106 and his temperature 99.2. At
5:30 p.m. the pulse was 100; temperature,
98.6 and respiration 18. In the absence of
Mr. Blaine, Mr. McVeagh reported to
United States Minister Lowell that the
President's condition had greatly improved,
but that the state of his lungs would continue to be the occasion of anxiety for some
days to come.
It was stated at the War Department on

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S RIDE TO
LONG BRANCH.
Tlio Wounded President Taken from
"Washington to Long Branch—How
the Removal Was Accomplished—
Incidents of the Journey—Tlie L.ong-
Sufferins Patient Pnt Safely in Bed.
In the Francklyn Cottage.
"Washington, Septembers.
At precisely 5:40 the President was carried from the sick-room to the express
wagon (which had been backed up to the
steps of the front portico), bv Doctors Bliss,
Reyburn ahd Boynton, General Swaim,
Colonels Rockwell and Corbin, and Messrs.
C. O. Rockwell and Warren Young, who
remained with the patient during his removal to the depot. The President was reclining in a peaceful position on tfie bed upon which for so many days he had been suffering and fighting for life. His right hand
was laid upon his breast, while his left arm
was stretched at full length upon the Cov-
ei-let. His high forehead was covered by a
linen cloth, and his features, though emaciated, wore a patient and resigned expression.
A small platform had been erected from
^the portico to the wagon, and across this
the bed was tenderly and carefully carried
and deposited in the wagon. There was no
mishap whatever in transit, and when the
horses were hitched to the vehicle and
started at 5:50 for the depot a feeling of relief took possession of the bystanders, for in
the opinion of many the most perilous portion of the journey had been accomplished.
The conveyance was preceded to the depot
by carriages containing the remainder of the
party which was to accompany the President to Long Branch.
As the express wagon moved away from
the Executive Mansion, the President
feebly, but cheerily, lifted his left hand and
wayed farewell to the inmates of the house
who had assembled on the porch to wish
him God-speed on his journey.
The wagon was driven slowly through
the grounds of the mansion and down Pennsylvania avenue to the Baltimore & Potomac Depot, the horses at no time being
driven faster than a walk. At the head of
each horse stood a man ready to assume
control of the animals in case of need.
Fortunately, no such precaution was necessary, the ride to the depot being-accomplished without any incident occurring
worthy of note.
The crowd which followed was orderly
and anxious—anxious,not only for the safe
transportation of the patient, but also to
catch a glimpse of his face. This was not
difficult to do, as the curtains of the wagon
were rolled up to enable the President to
breathe the pure morning air, which at that
hour bad not yet become sultry.
The depot being reached, the horses were
detached from the wagon, which was backed
up to the car selected for the removal of the
President, and the same gentlemen who had
before performed the duty of transferring
the patient from the White House to the
wagon removed him from the wagon to the
railroad car. Though they met with some
Slight difficulty in doing this, owing to the
faot that- the floor of the car was rather
high, the delicate task was performed successfully, and without appearing to disturb
the patient. When inside the car, he
was transferred from the bed on which
he had been carried thus far and placed
upon the spring-bed prepared for
his reception. The remainder of the party
having already taken their seats, the sigual
for departure was given, and, amid silence,
the train, at 6:30, began to move.
The party who accompanied the President
(exclusive of the railroad attaches) consisted of Mrs. Garfield and-her daughter Mollie;
Drs. Bliss, Agnew, Barnes, Woodward and
Reyburn; Colonel and Mrs. Rockwell and
their daughter, Miss Lulu Rockwell; General Swaim, Colonel Corbin, Private Secretary Brown, Dr. Boynton, Mrs. Dr. Edson,
C. O. Rockwell, Warren S. Young, and
servants.
THE CAR IN WHICH THE. PRESIDENT TRAVELED.
A car had been specially refitted for the
President's accommodation. The seats
were all taken out and the car thoroughly
renovated. A. false top was put in a few
inches below the roof of the car in order to
give air an opportunity to circulate between It and the roof so as to keep the
car cool. The partition was taken out
and replaced by folding-doors, and
storm-doors added to the platform-doors.
Wire gauze was fastened on the outside of
the car, completely inclosing the parlor
apartment to keep the car free from dust.
The inside was hung With heavy curtains,
and Brussels carpet was laid on the floor.
The bed was also placed in position, and
mattresses provided. Two large ice-boxes"
were added, well-filled with ice. About
forty men were employed in the work,
which was finished in seven hours.
Along the Rontc.
Baltimore, September 9.
The train beajring the President passed
Bowie, seventeen miles this side of Washington, at 7:10, Philadelphia time.  The following dispatch was thrown off:
" The President is so far doing so well that
the surgeons would like to increase the speed
where it can be safely and comfortably done."
Engine No. 5, in charge of Train-Master
Bell and Assistant Road-Foreman Wallis,
running as pilot engine ahead of the train
bearing the President, passed through the
Union Depot at 7:48. At the depot perfect
quiet prevailed, the building and track iu
the vicinity having been cleared of all engines and cars. Passing trains had been
held back, and the tunnel from one end
to the other was entirely clear ahd free
from 3inokc.' The train, bearing the President passed at 8:02 at a slow rate
of speed on the track, outside the depot,
making no stop. Few persons were about.
Superintendent WilJ^ins received the
dispatches thrown from the train and
handed them to representatives of the press,
and kindly gaVe therii the use of the railroad
wires to forward their messages into the
city offices.
The President has stood the fatigues of
travel up to this hour with remarkable fortitude. His pulse is even less frequent than
it was before leaving Washington. It is
now 106. The arrangements are so complete in every detail that the inconvenience
to the President is reduced to a minimum.
The bed upon which he is now lying is so
carefully adjusted that the* vibrations are
hardly noticeable.
The train ran from Washington to Baltimore at an average speed of thirty miles per
hour. It is found Ais rate of speed causes
less annoyance than if it was reduced one-
half.
At seven o'clock the President took three
ounces of beef tea wifh relish. „
Chester, Pa., September 0.
The President's train passed the depot
here at about twenty-five miles an hour,
The President's car was apparently tightly
closed, and no bulletin was thrown off.
While the locomotive of the Presidential
train was receiving coal at Lamokin, Dr.
Agnew told Dr. Milner, of this city, that
the President had Improved since he left
Washington, and was getting along very
comfortably. They Were glad to get out ol
Washington, for the heat w-as oppressive.
The doctors on the" train were well pleased
with the progress the train was making.
The car was quite free from jolt or jar, and
they had high hopes of reaching Long Branch
with no bad results. The President had
suffered very little fatigue. Dr. Agnew
seemed in excellent spirits.
Philadelphia, Pa., September 6.
The Presidential train ran over the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore division
of the road forty-nine miles an hour. When
the President was informed that more than
half the journey had been completed, he was
greatly pleased, and said this was decidedly
the most interesting day of any since he was
shot.
General Superintendent Kenney, of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
on the President's train. He says it is true
thatthe President's pulse fell ten beats
before reaching Baltimore. The President was cheerful, and, when asked if
he would like to travel faster* replied:
"Yes, I rather like it." Mr. Kenney
says he seemed to be in very good
spirits, and was not under the effects of any
opiates. He was as rational as could be,
aud occasionally chatted with the doctors.
Mr. Kenney added that he was surprised to
see the number of people who turned out,
particularly in country places, to witness
the passage of the train. Even at prominent stations where there were crowds the
people raised their hats with reverence,
and all seemed affected by the gravity of the
situation.
At "Long "Branch.
Xong Branch, N. J., September 8.
The Presidential train arrived at Elberon
at 1:10 p. m., and reached the cottage ten
minutes later. There were about 20,000
persons in the vicinity of the President's
quarters. The regular troops were on
guard, and no difficulty was experienced in
preserving perfect order. No sound was
heard to mar the quiet of the neighborhood.
Mrs. Garfield, upon arrival, passed from
the President's car to the preceding
coach. She looked calm and not at
all worried. IsTo difficulty was experienced
in preventing a too near approach
of the people. No exicitemeut prevailed—
only a natural curiosity. Just before reaching the cottage, at 1:15 p. m., the train was
brought to a standstill, and the first ear,
used by the attending physicians, and baggage car, were detached and pushed by
hand around a sharp curve, making a semicircle about the President's cottage. Following this proceeding the car in which
the patient was lying was gently pushed
over the saine course till it reached
the entrance to the cottage, at
which point it Avas stopped and a large
awning was thrown around the portico, so
thatthe sun could not fall upon the patient,
and he could notbe observed by the anxious
spectators. The removal from the car to
the room prepared for the reception of the
President was accomplished without exciting him in any manner whatever, and,
while he was apparently a little fatigued, he
did not complain, and seemed to he perfectly calm aiid well satisfied.       *
Dr. Bliss said, in response to interrogatories, that the President stood the journey
extremely well, his pulse not having been
higher than 110.* Colonel Corbin, who accompanied the attendants upon the President to Long Branch, says. the President
stood the journey remarkably well; that,
upon nearing Long Branch, one of the party
suggested that it would soon be time
to take a bath, in reply to which
the President said: "We need progress just now more than a bath." At
every town aud station along the route, said
Colonel Carbin, a mass of human beings
congregated to witness the passage of the
train, in most instances entire multitudes
standing with uncovered heads, and exhibiting feelings of sympatlry.
The evening bulletin has had the usual
effect, causing considerable excitement,
and some persons feel very despondent. No apprehension is felt 'by the
surgeons, however, as they expected the
journey would result in a considerable rise
in pulse and temperature.
Dr. Boynton said to-night: "The pulse
remains about the same as at the time the
evening dressing was made. If the President should die before to-morrow morning
I should hold to the opinion that his removal was the proper thing to do. He was
dying inch by inCh in Washington, and I
still hope that here he will gain sufficient
strength to recover. I think a favorable
change in the pa,tient probable by morning.
If there is, we shall, of course, be more
hopeful, while, on the other hand, we shall
feel anxious if there is not. The wound and
gland are all right. The trouble is that the
President's system is so much run down
that the question arises: Has.-he sufficient'
recuperative power left to react from the
fatigue?"'
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
The evening official bulletin issued by the
physicians is as follows:
September C—8:30 p. m.—Since the last bulletin was issued the President has been
moved from Washington to Long Branch. He
Y.-as more-restless than usual last nfebt, beinsr
evidently somewhat excited by anticipations
of his journey. This morning at5:afl his pulse
was 118; temperature, 99.8; respiration, 18. We
left "Washington with the President at 6:30
a. m. Owing to the admirable arrangements
made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and to the ingeniously arranged bed designed
by T.N. Ely, the f'atiguo incident to transportation was reduced to a minimum. Nevertheless, as was anticipated, some signs of disturbance produced by the journey have been
exhibited since his arrival by a rise of temperature and increased frequency of pulse.
At present his pulse is 124; temperature, 101.6;
respiration, 18."
SECRETARY BLAINE'S DISPATCH.
Secretary Blaine sent the following dispatch to Ministers Morton (Paris) and Lowell (London) at!0:30 p. m.:
"Tho President left Washinjrton at half-past
Six this morning, and reached Long Branch at
twenty minutac past one. He seemed to bear
the journey well, though the heat was very
oppressive. After his arrival he was, for
several hours, restless, showed signs of great
fatlsue. and complained that his back had a
biuised feeling. His pulse rose to 124 and his
temperature to 101.6. At this hour, halt-past
ten, ho is sleeping and his fever
is abating. His surgeons regard hia*
symptoms as a necessary result of the journey, and expect a favorable change in this
nir, within the next two days. Thefever is in
part attributed to the excitement he felt at
tho prospect of coming. He earnestly desired
to leave the White House, and his weary eyei*
welcomed tho sight of the sea. The develop*
ments of the next sixty hours are awaited with
solicitude."
THE FOREST FIRES IN MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Keptember 8.
The horrors of the situation in Sanilac
and Huron Counties, on the shores of Lake
Huron, are deepening every hour.
Thcdistress is unparalleled. It is believed that 300 people have perished, and It
is feared many more, while thousands
are stripped of everything—food, shelter,
crops, stock—all swept clean from the face
of the earth. The people need most everything necessary to sustain life and clothe
themselves.
Accounts continue to come in of the most
harrowing description. A special to the
Post and Tribune says;
" George MacDonald, of Mindeii, Sanilac
County, tells a harrowing tale; over 200
families are homeless in that section, and
suffering from want of food and clothing.
" John Ballentine, of Verona Mills, says
that fifty-three lives were known to be lost
in the neighborhood of Sand Beach. The
fire suddenly reached Verona Mills on Monday, and the town was soon wiped out.
The wind was so strong that Ballentine and
wife were picked up and blown fifteen !or
twenty yards.
"Inthe vicinity of Richmondsville and
Western Forester and Marion Townships,
reliable information leads me to say that
upward of 300 persons perished in the
flames. There was no escape for them. The
woods and the ground were so dry-that no
warning of danger was given. Faster than
a race-horse came the fire. It would embrace house or barn Avith its contents, and
away to the next. Persons who have been
through the terrible ordeal say that in ten
minutes from the time the fire struck there
would be no vestige of a house left. I have
just returned from a trip through the
burned district, and the description of the
sights would make the reader's blood turn
cold. In many instances men, women and
children were found lying on their faces in
the road where thejr had fallen when overtaken by fire. Children were found lying
on logs where they had clambered for safety. There was no finding each other when
once separated. Many took refuge in wells
and root houses, thinking to escape, but In
almost every instance were soffocated."
The Post-Tribune correspondent telegraphs:
"The details of the disaster in Huron County are as bad as in Sanilac
County. I believe that when the returns are
in 1,000 persons will be found to have perished In the flames.        ~ " ~
"The Rev. W. F. Allington found sixteen dead bodies near Deckerville. Only
five buildings are left between that place
and Minden.
"John Flytewager's family of seven children and wife were all burnt together in
Paris Township, with seventeen others.
The Day family were burned, with Morris
Clifford, wife and child. A man and woman are lying dead In the road between Don-
ner's Mill and Tyre.
'' Fifteen families were burned in Moore
and Argyle. Five hundred families are reported at Minden as having been burned
out. A woman was burned at Smith's Mill,
half a mile from Tyre.
•' Wherever a house is left the people
flock to it like sheep to a fold, In some places
as many as six families being in alog shanty.
They must have relief from below, or great
suffering will be the result.' I saw many
families to-day who hadn't had one meal
since Monday, and don't know when they
will get one. Their teams are all gone, and
cows and other stock burned. Desolation
stares them in the face. They talk abptit
their misfortunes, and many say, bad as-it
is, it might be a great deal worse. They "are
glad to get away with their lives. Many of
them are Canadians, who had been over but
a short time, and had just begun to get
matters in comfortable shape. Many need
medicine and medical assistance."
The farm of the widow of John Klopf,
living amile «ast of Daner's, was totally cut
off from all communication with the neighborhood, and What the fate of herself and
family of three daughters will be cannot at
this writing be determined.
A party seen at the Indian school-house,
who came in from the east, reported the
woods and fences all on fire, and the people
fighting to save their property. People are
nearly blinded by smoke. Water is scarcely
to.be had, and stock is suffering. For the
past three days Tuscola has seemed to be
literally on fire.       °
Reports from every direction indicate terrible loss and suffering. Nearly 100 families
between Caro and Cass City are burned out.
A number of buildings in Cass City burned,
and for miles around the people are flocking
into the town, scorched and destitute,
many of them having lost everything.
Reports are crowding in thick and fast,
and from these are learned enough to know
that the suffering in Huron, Sanilac and
Tuscola Counties will -exceed that of 1871.
Wednesday, at Cass City, a number of persons were brought in maimed for life from
the effects of burns, and it was reported on
good authority last night that several dead
bodies had been found.
In the towns of Wells, Novesta and Dayton undoubtedly many lives have been lost.
The following appeal  for aid has been
issued by the Committee of Citizens of Po rt
Huron, headed by Senator Conger, Mayor
Carleton, and others:-
To the People of the United States:
A most appalling disaster has fallen upon a
large portion of the Counties of Huron and
Sanilac, with some adjacent territory, a sec"
tion of country rfecently covered with forest,
and now occupied by nearly o^ODO people,
largely recently settled, and cither poor or in
very moderate circumstances. In the whole
of this sectionthere has been but little rain
during the past two months, and-everythlng
was dry when, on Monday, Septembers, a
hurr.cane swept over it, carrying with it
a sheet Of ilame that hardly anything could withstand.- "We have
advices of 200 persons burned to death, many
of them by the roadside or in the Iield3 while
seeking places of safety, and it is probable
that twice this number have perished. We
have reports from twenty or. more townships
in which scarcely a house, barn, or supplies of
any kind are left, and thousands of people are
destitute and helpless. All of there people require immediate assistance, and most of them
mustdepend on charity for months to come-
We are doing all in-our power to succor them*
but the necessities of the case are so great that
contributions from charitable people throughout the country will be required to keep them
throughoutthe winter. Wo the efore appeal
to you to send money, clothing, bedding, provisions, or any other supplies that will help
maintain the sufferers, and enable them to
provide shelter for themselves, and begin
work again on their farms. Contributions
may bo sent to the Mayor, - E, C. Carleton,
Chairman of the Belief Committee appointed
by the citizens of Port Huron, who have sent
agents through the burned district to ascertain the wants of the sufleresj and distribute
supplies.
The Recent Train RoWbery in Missouri.'
Kansas City, Mo., September 7.
Shortly after nine o'clock to-night the incoming ' Chicago & Alton passenger train
that left Chicago Tuesday at 12:30 was
stopped and robbed by a band of robbers
three miles east of Independence and fourteen east of Kansas City. The train was
flagged and then ten or twelve men entered
the cars and robbed the' express-car, baggage-master, conductor, Pullman conductor, and all the passengers, except in the
rear car.
The ladies in the sleeping-car, some fifteen in number, were relieved of diamond
ear-rings, rings, watches and money. They
got about $2,500 from the passengers, and it
is thought about the same amount from the
express safe. The express messenger, H.
A. Fox, was terribly beaten over the head
with a revolver, and at last gave up the
keys of the safe, and the robbers took all the
contents. When they entered the Pullman-
car, five in number, all were masked, and
while one held an open bag or pilfdw>case.,
each person was relieyed of his or her valuables, which were thrown indiscriminately
into the bag. The car conductor, J. J.
Price, lost his watch and chain and $100.
J. M. Hazelbaeher, the train conductor,
ran through the train, alarming all passengers, and telling them that the robbers were
on board, and then ran back and flagged a*
freight train, running very elosfc; He then ^
came back to the train, and was at once
searched' but had thrown his watch into the
ladies' closet, and so they got nothing. One
ofthe robbers poked a revolver into his
face,ahdsaid: " That is the pistol thatkllled
Westfall, on the Rock Island Road, and It
will kill you if you stir." The same man
said he was Jesse James, and that they
robbed the Alton train because it had
joined with the Rock Island and
others to capture the outfit. He also said
they would burn the cars and bridges if an
organized pursuit was made. Another man
in the gang also said he was Jesse James,
and, after robbing the engineer, Choke
Foote, gave him back two dollars and told
him that, when he reached Kansas City, to
go and get a drink and quit railroading out
in this section or he would be killed the
next time. The robbers talked all the time,
and all wore white masks. Some had hats
on, and some had not, but all wore long
dusters. They were armed with shotguns,
old-fashioned blunderbusses and pistols,
and had on high-top boots and farmers'
clothes.
The place where the robbery took place is
In a deep cut, near where the Missouri Pacific track crosses it, and the country is
hilly and well wooded, and just suitable for
such a robbery. It is only a few miles from
Glendale, where the Alton train was robbed
in 1879 by Jesse James and gang, when they
secured nearly $15,000.
As Soon as the robbers had gone through
all the passengers, they told the engineer to
pull out, and s aid: "Good night, this is the
last of the James boys' gang." The train
came at once to Kansas City, and posses of
men have already left by special train and
on horseback to head oft the highwaymen,
if possible.
T. F. or Frank Burton, the brakeman,
made the following statement of the robbery:
"I was standing on the front platform of
the sleeper when the train stopped, and I
heard voices and oaths on the back platform.   I said, in a moment: 'We are going
to be robbed.'   Then  one of  the robber3
cried out:   *We are coming In and going
through you all.'   I remember that the
freight-train was  just  behind us,   and I
heard it coming up.   I jumped off and ran
with my lantern down the track.   They
commenced shooting at me.   The bullets
Whistled all around me,  and  struck the
rails    and     stone.     They     must     have
fired   twenty-five    shots.    The   engineer
said:     'For    God's    sake,   don't    shoot
the boy.   He is  saving the lives of  these
people.'   Then one of them  threw up his
arms and cried: 'Stop shooting!'   I rolled
into the cut and waved my lantern.   The
freight-train was stopped only a car-length
off.   When I came back one of the robbers
said: 'Have you lost anything?' I answered,
'Fifty cents.'   He gave me one dollar and
fifty cents for interest.   Then I heard one
of the    robbers    say to    the    engineer:
'Choppy Foote, you are   too good a man
to keep up this business.   Here's $2 to buy
a drink in  the  morning, .and  to drink
it for Jesse James.   I warn you you'll be
killed if you don't leave   this road.   We  ,
are going to tear up and bust the Alton and
the Rock Island Roads, for they've been offering rewards  for us.   We've no grudge
against the Pullmans, and we'll switch off .
their cars  and burn all the rest.   I am the
man who killed Westlake, at Winston.   He
was too smart, and drew arevolver.''   Burton did not believe it was" Jesse James, nor
any of his gang.   They all acted green at
the business, and he thought they were men  ,
iving in the vicinity.   They made no attempt
to disguise their voices.
Frank Lombard, the news-agent, was.In- „
terviewed by a Tribune reporter and said:
" I was sitting in the smoking-car talking
with the conductor, Jack Hazelbaeher. We
were then on the up grade, about four miles
from Independence. All of a sudden the
train came to a stop, I said to Hazelbaeher:
•There is another freight-train in our way,
I suppose.' We heard loud voices and pistol shots. Hooked out and saw lanterns
flashing. We knew that train robbers were .-.
on-us. Hazelbaeher ran back into the train
and warned the passengers. They were all
looking out of the windows until therobi
bers called out to them to pull in their
heads and keep quiet. The rob- ,
bers had stopped the train by putting
an obstruction on the rails and signaling. I
am sure there were a dozen of them,
and some of the passengers place the
number at sixteen. Everybody was panic-
stricken and helpless. Iran out of the car
and found the men guarding the engineer"
and fireman. They were poorly masked,
but all armed with Henry rifles. They were
swearing loudly and shooting at random.
Some of them passed into the mail-car, but
did not touch anything, Express-Messenger Fox in the meantime had barricaded
the express-car. They climbeditpon tbecar,
rac around and began i o shoot. They broke
into the car and knocked Fox down by a
violent blow on the head. They then robbed
the safe of everything. I ran back into the
smoking-car and hid most of my money..
The robbers came in and ordered me, with
.an-oath, to lie down. I did so, and they
shoved a gun up to my head aud told me to
fork over. I said my money was under the
cushion. They told me to get it, and I got
it in a hurry, yon bet. It was about fifteen
dollars. They then told me to sit still, and
they went back to the other cars. They <.
made a wholesale robbery of money, watches
and jewelry."
