Dalzell has never had the yellow fever he
does not hesitate when duty calls. He did

In the reports from the various towns

notice that Catholic Priests and Sisters OF
Charity are first in the field, and that
many of them are dying at the post OF

her servants fear not the pestiience, and

hundred dollars from one passenger, so
dollars and tickets from another, and a
gold watch and thirty-fYe dollars from the
sleeping car conductor; at that time some
one pulled the bell cord and the robbers
becoming frightened jumped of; they
fred three shots in the sleeper without
injury to the passengers; they struck one
passenger with pistol cutting his scalp
some. 1t was all done in minutes. The
robbers we're out of sight IN the darkness
before the train stopped. The ground
being wet their trail was discovered at day
light this morning, and a large force of
armed men started in pursuit The Union
Pacific Co. offered reward of one thous-
and dollars each for the arrest Of the
robbere.
