Robbed In Front of an Original Packs ee House Lost Ills Wardrobe. John Ewell, whose home is at Merriam. was held up and robbed in this city Sat urday evening, shortly after 7 o'clock. He had been patronizing the original package house just north of the post- omce, on ivansas uity avenue, and was stauding in front on the sidewalk in the snadow oi me ouuuing when two men rushed at him from the darkness. One secured a grip on his throat and held him against the house while the other secured $7.50 by going through his pock eis.

cweu is a crippie ana aia not mace any fight. He believes that those con nected with the O. P. house knew some- thin of the robbery. He claims that they sold him liquor by the glass in vio lation of the law, and now, to get satis faction, he threatens to report them to the county authorities.

TOOK HIS VALISE. George Conover and John McCarty, employed on the Fort Scott railway in this city, were fellow boarders at the home of Sherman Dewald.

When the latter gentleman reached the house and went to change his garments the truth was forced upon him and he became greatly excited, running hither and inuner in the vain hope of Undine toe thief. He was finally induced by friends to have the man headed off, but nothing' naa Deen neara oi him yet.

A num ber of boats were brought into service and men were pulled out as fast as possible. About 8:30 when probably 2,000 persons were standing on the banks of the river watching the progress of the work, the head of a colored man was seen above the surface of the water am- Dg the broken timbers. This added to the excitement of the people and it wa3 soon told that there were flfUen or twenty colored men under the ruins. About UM0 o'clock the men succeeded in lifting the body from the wreckage and it was found to be that of Buck Williams, a colored laborer living in the Jersey creek valley. The body was removed to an undertaking establishment.

Just how many bodies lie at thebottom of the river pinned down by the huge mass of timbers, the engine and car wheels and trucks, is a matter that cannot be determined until the wreck is removed. It is certain, however, that among them is the body of Fireman Charles Allen. There were a number of colored men riding on the train and up to 3 o'clock only 3 of them could be accounted for, Curtis Hamilton, Allen Lat- timore and Buck Williamson, the latter being taken out dead. Some of the men place the number at ten to fifteen, but the railway men say that the number can not exceed five. Several colored men were reported missing from their work this morning, but as there was so much excitement about the wreck the names of those supposed to be buried iu the wreck can not be learned.

Coucerning Fireman Allen, the head brakeman, Mulligan, says there is no doubt but that the brave fireman was among the killed. Mulligan 6tated that Allen was in the water under him and he came very near drowning by Allen clutching his leg. Allen, however, released his hold and Mulligan was taken out by the city's firemen and policemen, who did efficient work in rescuing the injured and putthig out the fire. Allen was one of the best and most poDular firemen on the Northwestern. Engineer Chris Patch was found in ttc water and taken to the bank and an ambulance called.

lie was so badly bruised and so chilled from being in the river that he could scarcely speak. lie with Brakeman Mulligan, who was bruised on the face and side, were driven rapidly to the Wabash railway hospital in Kansas Mo. Brakeman Mulligan was seriously bruised in the left side and had a narrow escape from drowning. He was taken to the Wabash hospital and at last reports was getting along very well. The Axtell stock shipper, Mr.

8. V. ttmitn, who was riding in to market a car load of hogs, was found in the bot torn of the caboose. A portion of the side was knocked out and he was taken out and carried to a fisherman's shanty, near the waterworks building. His spine was hurt and he was groaning from some terrible internal injury.

Another carri age was called and he too was taken to the hospital. Conductor Owen F. Harrod, who is well known in this city, also had a remarkable escape, lie was sitting in the front end of the caboose at the time the engine went down He said: "The first intimation of any trouble was a terrible jar. I have been railroading long enough to know what that meant, and I rushed to the rear end of the car. When about the middle of the car the stove came rolling past me and my hands were badly burned.

I also saw Mr. Smith, the Axtell stockman on the floor. I reached the rear platform, however, and jumped to the bridge just as the front end ot the car went down. Mr. Smith, I believe also jumped but he was less fortunate than Conductor ilarrod was able to walk to his home in Riverview.after doing every-thine in his power to assist the unfortunate ones.

Curtis Hamilton, a colored man, living at 533 Walker avenue, was Bitting on the top of one of the box cars when it went down. He slid down the car into the river, and upon rising to the surface was struck by something and pinned to the bottom in the mud. was only ror an instant, however, for the car that struck him lifted again and he once more ap peared on the surface. Then he scram bled up the wreckage and was rescued He was badly bruised about the hips and shoulders. His escape was indeed miraculous.

Allen Lattimore, a young colored man living at 822 New Jersey avenue, and who was riding over to Armour's Packing house, was thrown into the river and scrambled out with a broken arm. He was taken to the Wabash hospital. Receiver Newman Erb and General Manager Summerfield were toon on the ground and made an inspection of the wreck. Mr. Erb said that undoubtedly the bie engine was derailed by some means else it could not have broken the beam which made it possible for the tracks to give way.

The beam, he said, was strong enough to hold up any train, but an emrine could break it by ploughing through the timbers and wheels striking it on the side with great force. The eeneral appearance of the bridge indicates that Mr. Erb's theory is correct. The officials of the road were not so much pained at the financial loss and the delay in traffic, as they were at the injury to their employes and those riding on the tram. Mr.

Erb said that, in his opinion, the engine could be gotten out in such con dition that it could be easily repaired. The engine lies on its side with one end resting on the tender. The loss to the company will not fall short of $40,000. The bridge can be repaired in five days. On Saturday last the company' officers issued an order that probably reduced the list of the killed and injured very materially.

For some months a host of men have been in the habit of riding on this train across the river to the packing houses. On Saturday it was decided to stop this business, and when No. 104 pulled out from the Fifth street depot this morning about forty colored men were shoved off. However, a number of colored men jumped on the train at the Fourth street crossing, and those who got out alive will not risk such riding The Northwestern wrecking crew is now removing the debris as rapidly as possible, and will probably be engaged in this for two days. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the hospital authorities reported that the injured ones were doing very nicely.

I he engineer and the Axtell stockman have the worst injuries but it is thought that both wil pull through.

Adylces from Honduras are that the revolution is ended. President Bogran Friday nigbt stationed a number of oannons about the barracks in the capitol and early next morning be opened fir a Sanchez and bis imprisoned com panions, knowing that death awaited tbem in any event, fought with all the desperate courage of despair, but it was a hopeless struggle from the start After a brief cannonading the walls of the barracks were almost completely battered down. Then there was a determined charge by Bogran's soldiers, a brief but des perate band to band fight and then all that remained alive of the rebels were prisoners. Without the formality of a court martial Sanchez, with several of the principal officers in the revolt, were taken to the principal square in the city, blindfolded and stood in line, in the presence of hundreds of citizens. A firing party was told off.

The doomed men were given a brief time for then the word was given; there was a crash of musketry, and the revolution of Longinos Sanchez passed into history. Sanchez and his men met their fate without flinching. The bodies of the dead rebels were ex posed to the public gaze all day as a warning to future aspirants to the Presidential chair who desire to get supreme power by force of arras. General Sanchez during his brief term of power caused two of the mem bers of President Bogran's Cabinet to be shot. One of the executed Ministers was Simeon Martinez.

BLACK BOB SQUATTERS. A 1U1I Filed in the Circuit Court to Have Them Kiected. Olathe, Nov. 16. The United 8tates District Attorney of Kansas, un der instructions from Attorney-General Miller, has just filed a bill in equity In the Circuit Court of the United States at Topeka, on behalf of the Black Bob band of Shawnee Indians and against the Bettlers who have squatted on the Black Bob reservation in Johnson County and the speculators who bold unapprove deeds from the Indians.

The bill alleges that the deeds of the speculators were obtained by fraud and demands that they be canceled. The bill prays that the settlers be ejected and that they be held to account to the Indians for the rents and profits of the land for the last twenty years. This suit involves about 30,000 acres of the best land in Johnson County, which have been occupied by squatters ever since the Indians were driven off by Quantrell and his men in ISO! The settlers have absolutely no title save tbe possession, which they have been well satisfied to enjoy without any liability to pay taxes. Great excitement prevails among the people on the reservation over the prospects of being ejected, losing tbe improvements which they have placed there, and being mulcted for rents and profits besides. They have' employed attorneys, and will make a bitter fight" The speculators who hold unapproved deeds have never been in possession, having been kept out by the squatters.

Might has been right on the reservation for a long titne, and for years it has furnished tbe courts of Johnson County the largest proportion of their criminal business The local attorney appointed by Attorney-General Miller to look after the interests of the Indians says that every prayer of the bill will be insisted upon.
