 Tom Loftus, the stalwart Fort Worth en- gineer, dropped in at the Windsor yester- day and related thrilling experience of his life in a cab. Tom ran a train in Mis- souri.

It was bitter cold night on the occasion in question, and the big en- gineer was st the throttle on the west bound limited express for Kansas City.

The stranger also covered the fire man. At once visions of train robbers flashed across the engineers mind The stranger did not utter a syllable, but stood silently near the brake, pointing his revol- yer first at the engineer and then at the fireman.

The command was obeyed and the train dashed along with such speed that in rounding sharp curve the supposed train robber was thrown of his feet to the floor of the cab. Loftus immediately seized and disarmed him. Then he shook him like a rat and slowed down the train.
 At this juncture slim man wearing a tin star on his breast and frightened almost to death appeared at the door of the bag gage car and shouted in a frightened tone to Loftus to not hurt the supposed Jesse James. Creeping over the tender the slim man explained that the man was 0 patient on his way to the insane asylum at Full
