TRAIN ROBBERY.
Robbery of the WeIIs-FarSo Express on .
Texas Tram.

Robbery OF the Wells-FarSo Express on .
Texas Train.
Ell PAso. Tex, Feb. 24-Colonel j. n.
Thacker. of the detective force OF the
Wells, Fargo Express Company, gives the
following details of the robbery of the
west bound Southern Pacific express
Wednesday night at STEMS pass, n. NJ,
about 200 miles west of Ell Paso:
Wednesday night at eight o'clock as the
west bound tram pulled in the STEMS pass,
two ordinary looking miners were seen to
board the train. They were taken for
tramps as they stole on the "blind bag
gage Chat is the car that has no end door)
and nothing more was thought of them till
the train suddenly stopped on the down
grade about mile and half out of STEMS
pass, when the astonishing discovery was
made that the train was without a locomo-
tive and was minus the baggage, mail and
express cars. 1t then dawned upon the
passengers that the train had been ''held
up''
One of the men who had boarded the
baggage car appeared on the tender of the
locomotive when three miles cut of STEMS
pass, and with cooked revolvers compelled
the engineer to stop the train. his confed-
crate having already uncoupled the passen-
ger part of the train and notified a brake
man to ''break up'' the train, which ne i'm
mediately did. AS soon as the locomotive
stopped the two men at once went to
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express car and de-
manded Of the messenger to open the door
or they would blow him and the car into
atoms. The car door opened, when one of
the robbers entered while the other stood
out in the dark on guard. well out of sight
IF any one that might try to play the Smith
act on him, the partner meanwhile go
ing through" the express car.
After he had secured every thing of value
that the car contained, he and his partner
in crime left, going southwark. Captain
Thacker is of the opinion that more than
two men are concerned in the robbery; that
although none but the two were seen to
board the train at STEMS Pass, there were
confederates at the point where the engi.
neer was compelled to stop the locomotive.
Nothing is yet known Of the value Of the
plumber secured further than that the
thieves made clean sweep Of all the car
contained. 1t must have been sufficient to
have fully satisfied them, as they made no
attempt to rob the mail or baggage car
which they had taken along with them.
