A man knows not at what minute he may fall a victim the dread Destroyer. Mr. McVeigh, a well known and highly respected farmer, living north of the city, and formerly of Minden, was passing north along Locust street about noon, today, and was at the of Euclid avenue when he corner fell as if dead. Some of the school children passing from the South school building saw him fall, and gave the alarm, Prof. Focht examined his pulse and found that he was alive, but no one knew whom he was, or the cause of his sudden fall.

It was at first thought that he was drunk, but Dr. deNeidman, who ovas summoned, pronounced it some disease of the heart. A cab was called and he was taken to the hospital, where he now is in an unconscious state. It is not feared that the attack will prove fatal, however. Brolse Into a Car.

It is not en that cases of robbery occu wadays on trains in transit, ally when the theft amounts Ly great value. A car of 11 andise was broken into whil the road from this city to Kansas City, last week. When the train left the yards here every car was sealed and in good condition. On arriving at Kansas City, one of the cars was found to have been broken into, and a large quantity of shoes and tobacco missing. It is supposed that thieves had entered when the train had stopped at some station, and while passing through some certain spot, had thrown the freight out, and their allies had hauled it off.

Detectives are at work on the case as the Pittsburg and Gulf is doing a big business, and the trains afford a splendid opportunity for wholesale robbery. OPERATE IN COLORADO.

One week ago yesterday a case of brutal assault and robbery took place near Warrentown. The matter has been kept quiet hoping that the perpetrators would be captured, but as there seems to be no trace of them, it has become public. It seems that Mrs. McCoy, wife of Oscar McCoy living one mile west of Warrentown, was out milking the cow at the stable. Mr.

McCoy was at work at shaft No. 20. While she was engaged with the milking, a man jumped up from behind an obstruction and pushed her over, holding her head in the mud, another man produced a knife and ripped her dress open taking $40 which was hidden in her pocket. They then left her in a semi-conscious condition, hurrying off. The neighbors have been trying to run down the brutes, but they have made good their escape whoever they were, they seemed to be aware of the money being in her pocket and of her husband's absence.
