Judging from their dialect and language,
Mr.. Royce believes they were genuine
border-rufiisns, and not persons residing
10 the vicinity. The clsw-bar and spike
maui used in emoving the rail were taken
irt IN the section house before mentioned
THE PASSENGERS UNFRAMED.
There were from ninety to one hundred
persons on the train. A small ivory-han.
died revolver was the only weapon in the
crowd. OF course IL was OF no avail, and
was not brought into action. None Of
the passengers were injured. Tue coaches
and the sleepers stuck to the track. The
rear sleeper was filled by q party Of aris-
tocratic Chinese students, on their way to
Spring Massachusetts, to be edu-
Gated.
THE WRECK
The tender tipped over on the engine,
and the baggage car rested on the tender.
The second baggage car went into the
ditch. The air-brake and the patent plat
form saved tho remainder Of the train.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The manner in which the robbers threw
the train indicates that they knew the
| business. AT an obscure curve where the
| Snb'uooi Nouiu not see tuo tEhth sou icc'
ahead, they removed the plates and drew
the spiken from a rail on the outside OF
the curve, so that the rail could DO easily
removed. 10 the rail they attached d
rope which ran up over the steep Of tn,
cut into surface ditch on bank, which
completely hid them from the view of the
| approaching train. Whom the train was
within three rails length, they pulled thu
rope, removed the rail, and what followed
is detailed above.
LYNCH LAW TALKED OF.
There is an intense desire to hear of tn
capture of tho six perpetrators OF this dis
tardly and murderous outrage. Capita
punishment has been abolished in thi
state but there is a universal belief tina
the ruilisns, If found, will meet death B.
the hands of their csptors.
