the Dallas Herald this morning.
Last night, just previous to the
arrival of the South-bound express
and passenger train No. 4, on the
Texas Central Railway, at Hutchins
Station,
FOUR MASKED MEN
dashed in and overpowered the Agent
when the train arrived. The robbers
placing him before them, moved
towards the engine, firing as they
advanced, the railroad agent calling to
the messenger, and begging him
NOT TO SHOOT.
The men in the cab of the engine
were also taken captive, and placed
before the robbers, when they moved
on the express car.
In the meantime the messenger,
Henry A. Thomas, extinguishing the
lights, made the fastenings doubly
secure. The

and in the exchange of shots that
again ensued, the messenger was
badly wounded. The engineer, fire.

placed in the front part Of the car,

it is not known whether either of the
masked party were wounded or not.

Immediately after the fight of the

Upon receipt of the telegram Mar

This is one of the boldest robberies on
record, and shows but too plainly that

such cool, deliberate and daring deed
could be committed in such thickly
settled neighborhood seems almost be-

taken to suppress these bravado out
