 The engine then backed up to the train, and ran to the first telegraph sta ton and notified Supt. Noble of what had occurred. The train was in charge of Conductor Mcclellan, and the engineer was Col, Harper who had a similar ex- perience in the big robbery near Pan ,ano last April. Col. Harper evidently thinks he is fated.

Alter quite run he reached them but found two rifles thrown down on him, coupled with an order 10 get back lively. He did not know they were robbers until the train stopped about mile from there. The robbers then fired three shots and made the engineer cut the mail and express cars off and pull ahead about two miles. They then stated to Engineer Harper that they did not desire to harm anyone, and for him to inform the mes senger of that fact, and there would be no trouble. The messenger concluded this was the proper thing to do, and opened up, giving them his gun, and handed them the money packages which they placed in sacks, and without offer ing to molest the mail, disappeared, taking southerly direction As soon as the engine pulled away from the train, Mcclellan and Cerreno went back to Steins Pass to report. started towards the engine with my lamp, and had pro- ceeded about half a mile when I met the engine coming back.
