Ditched and Robbed by Thieves.

TExARKANA, Tex, June 10.-An ex-
press train on the st. Louis, Arkansas
& Texas railroad was wrecked by six
masked robbers two miles south of here
early this morning. The train was
ditched at IIaywood's switch by throw
ing the switch. The engine, tender and
express ears left the track and an un-
unknown tramp who was stealing ride
in front of the express car was instant
| ly killed. The robbers attacked the
express car. but the messenger repulsed
them with a volley from his Winchester,
but hit none of the robbers. They re-
turned the fire with interest, and fl
nally after threats of cremating the
messenger in the car, he surren-
dered. The safe was opened and the rob
bers secured about $4,000. Nesbitt,
the express messenger, and the fireman
and engineer were taken into the woods
by the robbers and tied to trees. They
then shot the messenger in the hand,
the arm, and shot one of his ears off, TO
r, Venge themselves for his resistance,
and threatened death to all three IL

All the time the passengers were pre-
vented from giving any assistance by
one OF the robbers, who guarded them
with Winchester. After the robbers
rode off it was an hour before the fright
ened passengers rescued the train men
and gave the alarm. Two posses are
now hunting the robbers. but no trace
of them has been found. The leader of
the gang is supposed to be Rube Bur

no fair mark, and only chance shot
might have stopped him, but the
Towards did not try any experiments
OF that kind. They dropped their rifles
and climbed a tree. The grizzly
watched them for a short time, but soon
gave it up as a bad job and disappeared
in the brush.
The Towards descended from the tree,
picked up their guns and decided to
nave another shot at the bear if they
could find him. They knew better than
to 70 into the brush after him, and for
some time they hunted cautiously about
the edges. The grizzly was in there,
but. as he was probably lying in wait
for them, they did not dare to investi-
gate too closely. jeff went to the wind
ward side of the brush patch and set fire
to it in several places and then rejoined
Jesse on the leeward side to watch for
the temperance of the bear. The wind
was blowing fresh up the canyon and
the fire ran rapidly through the dry
brush, making thick smoke and a great
noise. When the grizzly came out he

time enough to break for a tree again
and climb out of reach.
This time the bear sat dowr at the
foot of the tree and watched them with
malicious patience. The wind increased
and the fire spread on all sides, and in
few moments il became uncomfortably
warm up the tree. The bear kept the
tree between himself and the fire and
waited for the men to come down. Jess
and JEFF cot little protection from the
heat by hugging the lee side of the
trunk, but it became evident that the
tree soon would he in blaze, and unless
they jumped and ran within the next
two minutes they would be roasted.
They hoped that the grizzly would
weaken first, but he seemed to be in no
hurry to leave. When the flames began
crawling up the tree and the heat be-
came uncomfortable, the elder Howard
said:
Jess, which would you rather ia Ike,

with his arm.

They crawled out along limb,
swung by their hands for an instant and

old bull and the hoarse growls of the
bear. They were having joyous time
all by themselves, and Howard decided
to let them fight it out in their own way
without any interference. Returning to
the cabin he said to his son Jesse and
an Indian who worked for him:
''It's that cussed old grizzly having

bull is old enough to take care of him

marks of the encounter 70 this day.
John Searles, a leading citizen of San
Bernardino, is one of the few men who
have lived to tell how it feels to be hit
by grizzly. a few years ago he met a
larse bear in the mountains near Fort
TETON and shot him in the shoulder
Before he could reload the bear rushed
at him and cuffed him on the head. first
with one paw and t.en with the other.
The first blow tore of part of Searles'
scalp and the second smashed his jaw
and knocked him end over end down
the hillside Searles was nearly sense
less when ne fell. but he had vague
consciousness of being rolled over two
or three times. and felt the bears hot
breath upon his face before he lost his
senses entirely. The bear did him no
more injury. evidently supposiug him
to be dead, and when Searles recovered
consciousness he managed to crawl to
his horse, mount and ride him to the
Liebra ranch. John Cuddy, who met
him at the ranch, told me that Searles
was the worst used-up man he ever saw
alive and didn't look as though he
would live two hours but Searles was
tough and the doctors managed to save
him.
