Full particulars of the train robbery at Gra-
NADIA, COL, last night are as follows: While
the west bound train was side tracked to allow
the east bound passenger train to pass, two
men mounted the engine with drawn rcvol-
vers, and compelled the engineer to run his
train mile and half out of the town, where
fifteen men with revolvers took possession of
the train. The only shots fred were at Con-
ductor Dees, who had gone forward to learn
the cause of the train stopping. The conduc-
tor ran back into the smoking car, where the
sheriff and deputy from Ration, also the sheriff
from Los Vegas, were. They drew revolvers,
which saved the passengers from losing their
valuables. Tho robbers then robbed the ex-
press car of $500 in money, and ordered the
engineer to pull out. They then got on their
horses, which were hitched near by, and de-
parted. The safe in the rear part of the car,
containing $4,000, was not molectsd. A posse
of citizens are in pursuit of the robbers

EVIDENCES OF THE PAST,
Some Interesting Relics of an Old Philn-
dolphia Lawyer.


In making alterations TO the upper nor
ton Of his residence, No. 932 South Fourth
street, c. IL. Adams, esq II few days ago,
discovered in an old trunk, which had been
the property of MIR. John Thompson, at
one time clerk TO the United States .reas-
urer, and member OF the bar, a number
embarrassing relics and memcntoes which
had been concealed troH view for over fifty
years There were old newspapers and
books, legal, commercial and state docu.
ments, u couple OF old fashioned padlocks,
II broken doll, n spur, some coral and min
erals, uart of Il broken cutlass and two or
three lady's slippers. The last named arti-
Cles are mute witnesses of the old law er's
affection for his wife and child.
The oldest of the documents found in the
crumbliug trunk is day-book containing
entries dating back to 100. This seems To
have belonged to some estate OF which the
lawyer had to make settlement, in which
appear many quaint entries of commercial
transactions and business memoranda.
