Was Heavily Guarded. Sleepless vigilence saved the traiu. This was the news bronght up by the travelers on the Rock Isl.iud road yesterday.

There was a robber iu every car and at a uiveu signal, the whole traiu would have be-eti at the mercy of the bandits. The story of how these men were foiled makes a unique chapter in railway outlawry. Passenger train No.

1. bound for Fort Worth, Wichita at 7:30 o'clock p. m. Stturday evening. It carried a bdgsage car, an express car, a smoking car, a chair car, a Pullman vestibule sleeper and an emisiraut sleeper.

The train was a few minutes late when it left Wichita, but before it reached Euid it had made up the time. The express company has guards on all its trains running through the territory. Sometimes it lias a half dozen guards on a single train. Saturday -uiht there were two guards with tho train. Their passes outitlethem to rldo anywhere on the traiu.

One of the guards, J. F. Dumont, for a number of years' an officer on the Topeka police force and known as "Monte," was sitting in the smoker when the traiu pulled into Enid. Mtudf ul of his business he observed rougli looking character with his trousers tucked in his boots and a blue ribbon around his cowboy hat walking up and down through the coaches. A minute later he saw another man walking np and down the train on the outside.

Bth men were observing things with great scrutiny. When tho train reached Henues-ey, Dumont saw the same two men yo through the same maneuvers. Immediately the train left Hennessey, Dumont went to the conductor, Joe Reed, and asked him where the man who had been walking up aud down the aisle was going. Reed said he had paid his fre to El Reno. He asked htm where tho man was going who had been walking up aud down on the outside, at the ama lime describing him.

"There is no such man on the traiu," said Conductor Reed. "I saw him at Euid aud Hennessey," said Dumont. "Go through the train with me," said the conductor, "and point him Dumont and Reed went through the train. They did not find the man in the coaches Dumont, in seatchiug around, opened the vestibule side door of the Pullman aud fouud his man scale 1 on the car steps' "Come up out of that?" commanded Dumont. The man started to jump, but as the train was going at a good rate, ho hesitated.

Dumont grabbed him and pulled him up ou the platform. The fellow had a big Colts revolver str.tpped with a full irt-ridge belt outsfde his cott. He leached for this, but Dumont quickly poked his tevoher iu his face aud commanded: 'Hauds up." the hands went up, aud at he point of thi revolver imont aud he conductor mtrch'-d the fellow down to the smoking car, where the other express guard disarmed him. He men took a seat in the car without the least protest. Presently ha moved over aud sat down with the confederate.

They talked to-gtther for some time. Dttniour, the couductor aud other guard slipped out. No sooner had they doue this than the two men leaned over aud uudtred two Tuev KOt up iu a hurry and the four men i. .1 i at once puc tueir uetus toeiuer. wneu the conductor entered agtiu they all dodged apart and held their tongues.

Dumont was now on the lookout for anything. He waited Kingfisher was le. died for developments. Theyweie uuo tuo unuiau su-coei. uu as leaving El he went, ack into the sleeper aud a man talk ing to tue gunman conuucior.

He had not noticed this man before nud 1 he went back to the flagman ou the rear platform and asked him if had uoiiccd anything queer. "Yes," tue 11 igman said, "I have. Here at El Reno two meu slipped arouud this rear coach out of the shadow of some freight cars, and I saw one mau put two levulvers in his grip." "Whrra did he go?" "He got ou this sleeper and is in there now." The conductor, brakemen, express and baggage men, engineer, fireman aud the two guards got ready for btisiuess. They came to the conclusion that if the men attempted to rob the traiu it would be done ou the aiding jut below Chickasha where the south bound passeuger is fidelracked for the north bound. This uspiciou was ciuclud from the manner iu which the six men paid their fares that is the four in the smoker, the one in the etiair ctr and the one in the Pullman.

They paid for Kiugfi-her at firt, theu they paid for Et Reno aud again for Minco. As the Chickasha sidiug was approached the six men were all covered. Tliey would have been captured aud bouud the s-coud they made a hostile movement. But they evidently kcew that they were foiled and did i.othlngexcept to hold surreptitious conversations when the guards aud conductor left the smoking car. Many ot the passengers had received a hiut of the dauger aud there would have been a lively fustlade, had the attempt been made, as most of them were armed had their revolvers ready for action.

One of the meu got off at Chickasha, another at Minco, another at Rush Springs aud three went ou to Fort Worth. At each plHce the authorities were notified aud hnve an eye on the meu. The facts given here were secured from a passenger who was on the traiu. A reporter lor the EAGLE caught Dumont at the Island depot yesterday and snu-mitled them to him. "They are true in the he said.

"Do you believe the meu had planned a robbery5" "I meat certainly do. 1 think they in- tended to loot the train at that Chickasha siding." Mr. Dumont produced the big six-shooter he secured from the man who was riding ou the steps of the Pullman. He is very proud of it. BROKE OOT AFRESH.

Moser, one of the most successful I and largest fruit growers in the state, was down from his Herrington home spending yesterday among his old Wichita friends aim luciueuumy looking auer some uusi-ness matters. His fruit farms aud vineyards, scattered about over the roiling prairies that divide the Kansas and Arkansas waters, are thriving aud yielding satisfactorily, while his fancy bred horses aud cuttle and hogs are all np to the standard. But Moser has been experimenting with potatoes and grain. He comes down here this time roaring and suotting with enthusiasm fcr irrigation for Kansas. He has had several wells drilled down through the first strata of rock to sheet water, which we Is supply continuous six inch streams.

lie advocates reservoirs to ba filled by pumps, the waters to be held nutil needed by the fields of growing crops. He says there is not only an abundance of water, cheaply obtainable for storage, but that Kansas would prove the most productive locality in the world; that her soil would raise the biggest potatos and the most of them to the acre; the most grapes and fruits of all kinds; the biggest corn and the tallest grasses, and, iu short, that there would be uo end to the prosperity of her people who would double in number in the country and quadruple in the cities. He is opposed to all government or political contract schemes of irrigation, advocatiug individual effort for each farmer, ou patches of grottud anywhere from half an acre to ten acres. The success which would follow these experimental plots would prova irresistable. It would not require one-fifth of the water to irrigate given area of ground iu Kansas that is necessary in Utah, California, Arizoua, New Mexico or Colorado.

F5r field crops there is plenty of rain up to within a few weeks or days of maturity. For 300 or 400 bushels of pota toes to the acre more would be required, as for cabbage, but that he is satisfied thao there is an abundance of cheap wnter for all. He proposes to fill iu a six acre reservoir to the depth of six feet, to bu filled from a six inch well by a sixteen toot wind mill. Of course many farmers could stote surface or storm water more or less successfully. Mr.

Moser has not only been experimenting, but he says he bs given the whole subject close observation in the territories of the west, studying the process aud results while ou the groaud.

Lunibci men Only for the Iurpoe or Organizing lloo Hoo ulub. The meeting of lumbermen at the Carey Saturday night, that caused so much curiosity, has been thoroughly explained. They met there not for the purpose of forming a combine or raising prices on the desr people, but for the purpose of organ izing a Hoo Hoo club. Tue most unexplsinablo thing about their meeting was the unusual hour at which it was held, and this is jnst exactly whtre Hoo Hoo cornea in. The fact is the club takes the owl -for their emblem and as the owl is a night bird, all the meetings of the organiz ition are held at mght.

The boys bad a jol'y time and the Hoo Hoo club started out under the most favorable auscit.es. The organization is exclusively for lumbermen, and it is said that it has a large membership all over Kansas. It is of a social nature and affrrds retail dealers in lumber to come together oicisioually, get acquainted with one au otuer aud have a good lime, telling stories, cracking jokes, etc. WICHITA VOs.

Petard, i42 North Emporia ave-an indignation meeting seemed to them in uu-. frt'u ualli eleve-, -v short-order that they might crush Mr.

Bovd m'cal wlll be rendered and while his theories on the school question were iu their iufaucy. Suuday night Tom Glover went around to the various colored churches and requested the ministers to announce a public mass meeting at the A. M. E. enmen for last night.

The announcements were made and in accordance the church was so packed that standing room was at a premium. Colored people of all classes were present and it was certainly a representative meeting of colored citizens. Before the church doors were thrown opeii a group of at least fifty men were gatheied outside, and the issue raised by Mr. Boyd was the sole topic of discussion. Ic could be easily seen that the opimon was all one-sidtd.

At the meeting was called to order by 'Ihomas Glover, who stated its object. On motiou Alexander Hutchinson was chosen chairman aud J. F. Thompson secretary. Sam Williams was the first one to lift his voice towards opening up the business of the meeting, and upou his motiou a committee ou resolutions was appointed, consisting of L.

R. Johnson, Thomas Glover, S. E. Williams, Mrs. Naomi Au-deisou aud Mrs.

C. Stewart. In order that a full aud fair expression of public sentiment might be heard, Thomas Glover moved that all speeches be limited to five minutes. He then expressed himself as beiug uualterably opposed to the separation of colored aud while school children. He believed not only in mixed schools, but in mixed teachers, aud thought the day was not far distant wheu coloied meu aud women will be found who will be competent to teach schools with ci edit to themselves aud their race.

He also believed in letting well-euough alone, as the school interests are in good shape as they are, so far the iuteiests of tho colored pupils are concerned. Jacob McAfee occupied most of his five minutes in deuouuciug Mr. Boyd. The language of the coloted veteran was full of vim and vitriol, aud he applied some mighty hot eloquence to Mr. Boyd, whom he denounced as an enemy to his race.

W. A. Bettis is the Mark Twain of the local colored population and all his speeches are interlarded with humor, no matter how serious may ba the question at issue. Outside of his humorous efforts his speech was devoted to au explanation of the special legislation enacted for the muini.tiuauce of mixed schools in Wichita, J. A.

Van Lew made a ringing speech in defense of the Teunessee colored people liviug iu this city. It has been hinted that as the Tennessee coloied people are the most learned they were at tho buck of Mr. Boyd iu the movement in hopes of getting positions as teachers in the proposed colored school. Mr. Van L3v denied this aud pledged the faith of the Teunessee people to the other colored people of the city in maintaining mixed schools.

L. R. Johuson questioned the right of Mr. Boyd to ike the statements he did in the EAGLE for the reason that he had no children whose interests might be impaired by the father's peculiar ideas. When J.

II. McCuue's rich baritone voice thundered towards the speaker's stand it was an easy matter to see that he was ou the warpath aud huuting the scalp of Mr. Boyd. He deuouueed the latter as an enemy to his race aud thought that the proper thing to do would b-i to drum Mr. Bojd out of town.

Mrs. Anderson bitterly opposed separato scuoois anu could see nothing practicable whatever in Boyd's plaus. Rev. J. W.

Price of the New Hope Baptist church made thing hum wheu lie arose to peak. He said Boyd was a dude and he didn't IiKe uuues in auy iorm eveu dude barbers. He was in favor ot 1 his child standing shoulder to shoulder with a white child when it came to a question of mental education. He asserted that all questions teudiug to the downfall of his race originated iu the mind of soma shalloiv-brain dude. He also asserted that Boyd was Used as a cats paw to rake some other fellow's chestuuts out of the fire.

Sam Joues, the Iugalls of the colored colouy, hated, he said, to discuss a question that was all one-sided. He would prefer to discu-s the question tace to face with Mr. Boyd, but he heard that the climate was not suited to him here auy longer aud that be had gone to Oklahoma, where it was more congenial. Mauy others spoke. A vote was then taken on the question and mixed schools were indorsed unanimously.

The following resolutions were reported by the committee, and they went through with an "ye" shout that made the building fairly tremble: Wnereas, Ou the morning of the there appeared an article in the Daily EaGLE ot this city uuder the caption of "Favors Separate Schools," in which article oue, O. L. Boyd, would make it appear thit a large number of tbe colored ot this city are in favor of separ atescho and Whereas, He claimed that a meeting bad been arranged by some of the promia-mt citiz-ns for the purpose of dacussiug the of separate scbooLi for the colored children, anu hereas, That great mass of the colored cmzrua ot this city Were at that time, aud ate now. honeiely ignorant of the arrangement of yisch meeting as mention-! ed Mr. BjydS article, and such are bitterly opposed to any otner man a st tem or mixed schools, and are perfectly satisfied wuh the present school iyatctn of our city and the treatment, coioreu pnpus rcce.ve at tbe hands of their white teca-r-: therefore be it K-soirea.
