A DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Northern Pacific Express Held Up
By Two Masked Men.

MNxEAPoLEs, Mrs., July 12.-The Journals
jamestown, N. D., special says: On the night
OF June last Northern Pacific train was
boarded near New Salem, n D.. by two masked
men, who terrorized the trainmen and got
away with several pouches of registered mail
matter. One of the robbers was afterward
captured by o sherlff's posse. On his person
was found q gold ring and gold watch
taken from mail sack and only
about 800 in money. He was taken
to the Jail at Dickinson and kept there for
few days. and for better security removed by
the inspector to Fargo. The men had evidently
divided the swag before starting. 30 that in case
of separation each would have his share. In
spector Walkers probably knows by this time
the amount they secured The published esti-
mate Of 5000 OF $4,000 az the amount is but
the rudest guess. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers got away with nearer ESQ 600.
