STORY OF THE ROBBERY.

Locked Doors No Defense Against Dyna-
mite Bombs.
CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-"Don't move an inch
till we tell you to or we will blow the
tops Of your heads off"
That is what Engineer Mckay and Fire
man Averill, of the midnight train on the
Chicago and Milwaukee, heard about l a.
m. yesterday, as the train was about half
a mile from Western Union junction,
twenty-three miles south of Milwaukee,
and only about sixty miles from this city.
Tne words came from two masked men
who stood just behind the fireman with
Winchesters pointed at the fireman aud
engineer. 1t goes without saying that
Mckay and Averill kept still enough.
They were ordered to run the train mile
or SO farther and then stopped, while the
robbery Of the express car proceeded.
The Attack on the Express Car.
How this was done is told in the report
of Express Messenger j. c. Murphy, of
which the following is a good synopsis:
The train which left Chicago at l1:30 last
night for St. Paul was held up two miles
north of Western Unions junction. The
when suddenly the messenger heard a shot
fired. He knew by instinct that an attempt
was being made to stop and rob the train,
and he locked and bolted the doors of the
express car. He had hardly done this be-
fore the train began to slacken speed, and
soon it came to a full stop. Some one
came to the door of the express car and
tried to open it. Finding it locked, he

door. Murphy refused to do SO, and with
his helper, Charles II. Cook, sought to
protect himself from the shots which he
expected would be fired through the win
dows and doors.
Bombarded with Bombs.
Then the firing began again outside and
another demand to open the car was made
Murphy again refused to do SO. There
was an interval of silence then quick
retreat from the car, followed by deaf
ening explosion, which partially demol-
ished one of :he car doors. A man APP
peared at the breach and demanded ad-
mission, but Murphy stood firm. In an
instant another explosion occurred aud
the other door OF the car was blown in.
This explosion was of sufficient force to
extinguish the lights in the car and
to throw down the lighter freight.
Enter the Bold Highwaymen.
Before the messenger and his helper could
recover from the effects of the shock three
men with Winchester rifles entered tho
car, forcing the engineer to go before
them. They ordered the messenger to
give up the safe keys and at the muzzle OF
Winchester rifle he did so. In like man.
ner the engineer was forced TO open the
local safe containing money and valuables
consigned from Chicago aud points be
tween Chicago and Lacrosse. The rob
bers then demanded the key to the two
through safes. Murphy told them that he
did not have tie keys TO them and they
threatened him with instant death if he
delayed.

1t was stated that the saloons are prac-

Tonight the vigilance of the guard was

not he must pass inspection by the officer
of the guard before being allowed to pass.
The bunkers are an object of particular
vigilance, and no man can approach them

extra vigilance is due to the possibility

No Need for the Militia.

A dispatch from Tacoma says that local
National Guard companies have been or
dered to stand ready to proceed to Frank
hin. Colonel Haines, when seen last
night, said no orders had been issued to
the militia, and he did not belive it would
be necessary to call out the National
Guard. The Seattle companies have made
no preparations for campaign, and
it is not thought that their
services win be necessary at any time dur
ing the trouble. The white miners are
peaceable men, and it is rot thought that
they will cause riot unless the Pinker-
tons become overbearing and by some in
discretion force it upon them.

night of the assassination. They are on
the way to Rome to give Premier Rudini
a personal account of New Orleans affairs.
Mr.. Corte said in an interview that he had
not been recalled except to confer on
