Comrades, Secures $1,000
orS1O,OOO-AreT There
no Revolvers In
the West?

PINE BLUE ARK, Feb 20.-Ths train,
robber has again appeared in Arkansas,
this time on the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas railroad, about twenty miles below
this city As train No. 2, north-bound,
stopped at Kingsland, about one o'clock
this morning, three men stepped on
the platform Of the baggage-cAr, next
to the engine. About a mile from
Kingsland The train suddenly came to a
stand-still, and Conductor J. b. Browning
stepped to the door TO see what was
wrong. As he opened the door bullet
whistlcd by his head, and he at once re-
tired inside OF the car, whero he re.
mained during the trouble. The rob
bers went to work in n cool and systematic
way. They boarded the engine and COM
rlanded the engineer, Bob Rue, and fl e.
man, Ed Hacknctt, to hold up their banls.
Hacknett was just in tho act OF putting
shovel Of coal In the firc-box, and, sup
posing il was one Of the trainmen trying
to perpetrnte joke, held up his shovel,
exclaiming, "Ah therem The robbie with
grim humor. dropped the muzzlo of n six.
shooter against the fireman's check, with
the words; ''Stay there, you." The fire.
man quickly climbed down from the box.
Taking the fireman and engineer with
them, The robbere ordered them to call on
the messenger to open the car.
They did as ordered, but he refused to
show up. Then began fusillade which
lasted while attempts were being made to
force way into the car. The fireman
was ordered to take the slash bar from
the engine and break in the door OF tho
car. He obeyed, but as he could not
get in after ten minutes delay, the rob
bers proceeded TO set the car on fire.
This forced the messenger to open the
door, and the engineer and fireman were
made TO get into the car first, their bod
les thus protecting the robbers as they
climbed in. The messenger opened tile
safe without further trouble, and the con.
tents were quickly transferred TO sack.
The exact amount taken is not known,
though it is thought to bs large. The mail
car and passengers were not mo!ested.
The engineer and fireman of this train
were in charge OF the train robbed at
Genoa, Ark, a few weeks ago. The mes
senger received note ut tTexarkana warn
ing him 10 watch out, Lut he paid no at
tention to it, believing it to be a joke. The
robbers were just thirty-fve minutes do
ing the work. Late reports state that be-
tween 5000 and si0,o 900 were taken. Some
place the loss much higher. I sheriff
and posse are in pursuit OF the robbers.
