been there packed In snow for elgliteen d'nys.
Doubts are expressed whether llm train will
get out from the thirty-feet drills before
spring, for nt present the eeinimny seems te
Ik largely dependent upon Provldcuce for
the clearing of Its hurled track. It hat net

The Northern Paelllc forces uncovered the

hundred of them shovel and (cmtij the ma

mid for the open llres that nre necessary te
protect the men w Idle they work.
The Impression It growing that thu O. It

eastern tiieuef Iho Northern Paelllc, who nre
accustomed te dealing with snow In Its worst

The prevailing Mil ere weather in Mentana
Is disastrous te eattle 011 the ranges, nnd
they uie dying in large numl-crs from both
cold and hunger. It It estimated that 215,000
cat lle were brought Inte Mentana for fatten
ing purposes last season. Of these 125,000
were driven in from the south and are speci
llcally known as Texans, though many or
them rami) from Colerado and Nebraska.
Most of thce reached, the ranges before July,
and are net worn down by quick
or hard Journeys, and, although a
large H?rccntjge will die, tlie num.
ber Is net likely te exceed 13,000.
The prlncipd sitllcrers are .Minnesota and
Iowa cattle. Of these the Northern Pacllle
took Inte Mentana lust season 02,000 In round
numlnjrs. fir this number about (12,000 went
In Is-fere July, and are getting nleng at well
as could lie expected In the direst et w inters
for range men. The ether 50,000, ull author auther
Ities agree, nnd from numbers of reliable
sources information lias been obtained, are in
a nltiable ease. I'ullv 50 nor cent, of them
huve net the slightest chence for llle. Of the
50 per cent. preUibly :w per cent, ure already
dead. Seme authorities place the liercentage
of certain lest at 75, but with tlie smaller
llgure the damage it heavy enough. The
probable losses In "pilgrims" of ail sertt
may thus be tabulated : One hundred and
twentv-llve thousand head Texans, 10 per
cent. less, 12,500 ; 02,000 bead Minnesota and
Iowa, 10 JK-r cent, less, 0,200; o0,0e0 head
Minnesota and Iowa, 50 per cent. less, 15,000;
total losses or unuirliiuatcd stock, :ci,"00.
Mentana's climate is net especially severe,
nor It its suewl'ull usually se great that it
will net yield te the chinoek winds which

The clast mauuunlla hud probably always

Israel Iltigglns, of Nottingham, Chester
county, whose wallet contained Ml, was
taken from him, yesterday gives an interest
ing account or the robbery.
"I knew the moment theso men came into
the rear car," said he, "that there was seme
mischief brewing, but the Idea of robbery
never entered my lnlnd. I thought thny
weru en a sprce ami wanxcu 10 kick up a row.
When ene or them put hit lrnek against the

volver, but It wasn't there. Theu
I looked hick or 1110 te see what the ether
ene was doing. I can tell jeu my heart
steed still, rer he had the muzzle or hit re
volver right up iu the face of the brakeman.
1 gave up everything for lest then, for I had
nothing te defend myself with. I didn't se
much euro for the inouey I had with 1110, but
I didn't want te leso my geld Match and
chain. I quickly took them off my vest and
slipped them down my beet. The watch was
an open-raced one.
"When thu big robber shoved hit pistol
under 111 v nose I get up and said : ' Yeu can
have all 1 have get ; here't $3! lu this jsieket
1sxk. 1 haven't anything olse about 1110.
Yeu can leek Ter yeurself.' That took away
any suspicion that 1 wat hiding anything,
for he took the money quickly and jcissed
011 te the man that sat In trout or mu I wat
afraid te take the watch out and when I
hopped out of my seat for fear he was going
te sheet the man whom he next tackled in
front of me, the crystal breke and cut my
heel in sevcral places. The watch It a wreck
new."
Superintendent I K. Ledge, of the Cen
tral division, at Media, wat immediately no
tilled of the robbery and sent n special train
te Philadelphia Ter detectives te go In pursuit
or the men. Special Olllcers Ott und Miller
arrived at Sylmar at ji e cieeic Saturday

is alsjve 21, rested in the prison at.Klkten,
Sunday w bore in delimit of the $5,000 bail de
manded, they Mill remain until the March
term of court. The general Impression I.t
that the prisoners will receive heavy
sentences as a warning te ether would-be
imitators. The law penults an imprison
ment of twenty years for train reblH)ry, and
it is Iwdievcil that half of this icried, at least,
w 111. be meted out te f Irillltlt and Trayuer.
