Wttti $15,000 Their Description
Dallas, May 25.— Last night at
9:16 the Texas & Pacific passenger
train, of which Wilcox wa-t en-
gineer and Klliott conductor, was
pulling out from the Santa Ke
crossing, near tht fair grounds,
two cqen darted into the express
car.
Having disabled Wray, the mes-
senger, by beating him on the
head with their revolvers, bound
his hands and under threats oi
death forced him to give them the
key of the safe, they took, it is
estimated, about $15,OA), the
robbery having been accomplished
by the time the train reached
Wbite Rock road, a short distance
east of the city.
When passing abreast of the
Buckner orphans' home, one of
the robbers pulled the bell cord,
stopping the train, and as they de-
parted each took a shot at the ex-
pressman.
The coaches at the time were
full of passengers, but the rob-
bery was accomplished so quickly
and quietly that they knew not
that brigands were bo near them.
One of the robbers is described
as a tall man with a light mus.
tache, wearing check pants, and
generally answering the discrip.
tiin of the highwayman who last
year was the sole character in th_
robbery of an express car, on
Lousiana railroad, and who is
aupposed to have been the captain
on the white horse that figured in
motit of the train robberies in
Texas in recent years.
The other robber is de-icribod
as a low sized, heavy-built man,
wearing black pant. both wore
masks and were armed cap-a-pie,
their six-shooters being supple-
mented with knives for closejquar-
(era.
The above particculaar were
received by telephone from Mes-
quite, and later on confirmatory
dispatches of the robbery, but
without detail, were received by
th 9 chief of police, lie conveyed
newa to Sheriff Lewis, who af-
ter a conference with several men
started off after midnight with a
poeae and hounds in an effort to
get at the trail of the bandits.
A Mexican Rills a Mexican.
Colorado, Tex.. May 25.—Two
Mexioans, Miranda and Joaquin,
became iuvolved in a quarrel in
the west end last night. One re-
port is that Joaquin was found in
a suspicious position with Miran-
da's wife. Miranda, it is alleged,
set upon him with a heavy boot
and so farious was the attack that
Joaquin was actually beaten and
bruised to death. His brain was
laid bare, both eyes knocked out
and his .whole body covered with
bruises. Miranda did not attempt
to escape and was soon arrested
and placed in jail by the officers.
This is the second Mexican who
has beeii killed here by a country-
man in the la?t three months.

Five of Them Dead But the Sixth Sur-
vives Her.
Pomona, Cai., Cal., May 25.—
Josephine Baxter, who has just
died here, had as varied matrimo-
nial experiences as Chaucer's
wife of Bath, as she had no less
lan six husbands in thirty years
and lost all but one by death. Her
career was so extraordinary in its
alternations of wealth and poverty
that it discounts fiction. She was
jorn of wealthy parents in Tarry-
town, N. Y., but ran away when
6 years old from Albany semina-
ry with James O'Neill whom her
parents refused to recognize.
O'Neill taught school in Toledo
until he die'1, in 1858, and the
voung wife was left to take care of
ler baby. After two years as
governess she married Clarence
W. Cuohiuan, of Cincinnati, a
wealthy pork packer. Cushman
died in Rome two years after, and
lis widow found her affairs so
leavily involved she saved little
rom the estate. She returned
to this cjuntry, and found her
third husband in 1886 in St. Louis
in Lieut. O-carD. Williams, ot
the regulartirmy, who was station-
ed in Colorada. Her husband was
drowned in the Montana one year

taught in the family of Senator
Washburn, of Minneapolis. There
she married Preacher Wilkins,
who went as missionary to Siam
and China. lie died in Hong

spouse's curpne back to the coun-
try. Her fifth husbaud was Gra-
ham P. Esty, a rich Lousiana Bug
ar planter, who fell in love with
her when sbe was nuree in a Phila-
delphia hospital. After three years
of happiness Esty was ruined by
sugar speculation, and committed
suicide in 1831. Then she went
to Philadelphia, and her brother
dying left her $50,000, and a year
afterwards she married Baxter, «
