ST. LOUIS, Feb. ga special to the Post
Dispatch from Pine Bluff, Ark, says: I'm
Arkansas, on the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas railroad, about twenty miles below
this city, as train No. 2, north-bound,
stopped at Kingsland about 1 o'clock this
morning, three men stepped on the plat
form of the baggage car next to the engine
STOPPING THE TRAIN.
about mile from Kingsland the train
suddenly came 10 a standstill, and Conduc-
tor Browning stepped to the door to see
what was wrong. As he opened the door
bullet whistled by his head and he at once
retired inside the car, where he remained
work in cool and systematic way. They
boarded the engine and commanded the en-
gineer and fireman to hold up their hands
AN ATTACK ON THE CAR.
Taking the fireman and engineer with
them, the robbers ordered them to call on
the messenger to open the car. They did
as ordered, but he refused. Then began a
fusilade, which lasted while attempts were
being made to force a way into the car
The fireman was ordered to take a slash
bar from the engine and break III the door
of the car. He obeyed, but as he could not
get in, after a minutes delay, the robbers
SMOKED OUT.
"This forced the messenger to open the
door and the engineer and fireman were
made to get into the car first, their bodies
thus projecting the robbers. They climbed
in, the messenger opened the safe without
further trouble and the contents were
quickly tr nsferred to sack.
"The mail and passengers were not mo-
lested
THE engineer and fireman of this train
were in charge of the train robbed at Genoa,
Ark, few weeks ago.
AN UNHEEDED WARNING.
The messenger received note at Texar-
kama warning him to watch out, but he
paid no attention to it, believing it to be a
joke. The robbers were just thirty five
minutes doing the work.
Late reports state that between $1,000
and $4,000 was taken. Some place the
loss much higher.
The Sheriff and posse are in pursuit of
the robbers.

in the woods. Searchers looked for her in
