Engineer Edward Pur-te-ll and Fireman Paul Spidell, both of Pocatello, were instantly killed. The engine climbed the rail on a curve that had been filled iu with dirt by the track forces, and went down the embankment twenty feet, taking the mail, baggage and buffet cars with it. It is believed that Purtell and his fireman jumped and were buried under the wreckage. Two mail "cT&rtflB and the express messenger were slightly bruised, but were able to take part in the work of transferring. No passengers were injured, as the remainder of the equipment stayed on tbe track.

If they had calculated their distance six feet to the west from the point where they worked they undoubtedly would have carried off nearly $40,000 in cash and $800,000 in stamps. flie burglars' plan of operations was almost identical with that followed by the robbery of the vault of the Selby Smelting company near San Frauciscd several months ago. The burglars secured entrance under the building, and by digging trenches and tunneling through cross walls gained a point immediately un der the vault. The steel sheets forming the floor of the iron room were bored, a hole of sufficient size to admit tbe body of a man was made, and through this one of the robbers passed the plunder to one or more accomplices below. The plunder was carried nearly 300 feet through the 'trench under $he building and then ioaded into a wagon that was waiting. in' an alley behind the building. DOWAGER EMPRESS ga ; Church fcoapends Member For Becoming a Citizen of the United States. Janies Jackson of Cambridge, Mass., who was suspended from membership in the Second Reformed Presbyterian church because in becoming an American citizen he took the oath to uphold the constitution of the United States, proposes to fight the ruling. The ca.se is probably one of' the strangest of its kind ever called to tbe attention of the people of Massachusetts. Dr. Jackson is a Scotchman by birth, but now, after ten years here, he lias taken out naturalization papers. Rev. J. M. Foster, pastor of the church from which Jackson was suspended, is quoted as making the following statement is regard to the 1 case the constitution of as the United States an immoral document and an insult to the Almighty, In that it makes no mention whatever of God, and claims for the people that sovereign power which belongs to.

Latter From a Prominent Boer States That Boer General Succumbed to a Wound. General Dewet's recent inactivity has produced the impression among military men that he is either dead or incapacitated through illness or wounds. According to a letter from Pretoria, a prominent Boer recently wrote a friend there relating the terrible hardships suffered by the Boers in the field, especially from a lack of surgeons. Dewet, for example," wrote the Boer, suffered the most terrible agony before he died. lie was wounded in the shoulder by a splinter from a shell, pointed when the dowager empress meets Prince Cliing and several of the viceroys at Rai Feng, capital of the; province of Ilo Nan, where there will be a general discussion of the affairs of the empire. This news is believed; to be authentic, as it was received from and the wound gangrened in conse-- ; quence of it being dressed with dirty rags." Five Boers captured at different places recently said Dewet was dead, but gave a different version of his death. Against these reports is a statement of Piet De Villiers, the field cornet recently taken prisoner iu the northeastern phrt of the Orange River Colony, who said that on the morning of his capture he took breakfast with,. , , PLOT TO OVERPOWER if it the empress wishes to carry it out.

The train was cut in two by the robbers and the express car and the first coach run ahead. After going a short distance the train was stopped and the robbers proceded to the express car, taking with them the engineer. The express car was blown open with dynamite and Express Messenger C. Charles was ordered out, but refused, and with his shotgun commanded the situation inside the car. The robbers ordered him to come out or be blown up with the car, but he responded: Blow and be . The car was then riddled with rifle bullets, which did not injure the messenger, who kept up a continuous fire from the inside, which held the robbers at bay. A charge of dynamite was then thrown into the car with a burning fuse, but Charles grabbed it and threw it outside, where it exploded. Next the robbers compelled the engineer to crawl up to the opening inside of the car, hoping to use him as a protection from the messengers shots, but the messenger kept up a steady fire over the engineers head and still held the robbers at bay. The robbers then gave up the task of securing the express treasure, and went for the mail. They secured the registered mail, then cut the engine out from the rest of the train and ordered Engineer Lucus to pall ahead. They ran to Judkina Point iu the outskirts of Eugene, where they disembarked and ordered the to return and get his train. engineer Gui-terr- R ON CHICAGO POSTOFFICE. - 4 ; IfcUl-LE- I 7 I Mocy, Z, re-enteri- ng .
