TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Hold up a Southern Pacific
Express.
Not Much Money Got-Passengers Were I'm
molested-Ihe Messenger was J. E Smith,
Who Killed Two Robbers a While Ago.

DEL RIO, Texas, Sept "A special dis
patch says: Geographic advices from Sam
well, Texas, small station on the Southern
Pacific, located in thinly settled section,
few miles from this place, gives thrilling
account of daring train robbery COM
mitted by six masked men at that place
shortly after midnight last night. Dyna-
mite and Winchesters were USED as means
OF illuminating the express messenger and
gaining at entrance into the car. All the
money and valuables in the safe in the ex-
press car were secured by the robbers as
we'll as several sacks mail and registered
packages. The amount of money obtained
can not be learned, but it will doubtless
reach into the tens of thousands.
The train was just pulling out from the
station when six masked men, who had
selected their positions, simultaneously
mounted the engine, mail and express car.
Over forty shots were fired, literally
decorating the baggage and express car
without injury to anyone. When a dyna-
mite cartridge was exploded against
small window in the express car, the effect
OF this was to tear the window out and
otherwise damage the car. The express
messenger was stunned but he recovered
IN few moments only to be oyerpowered
by the robbers and made to give up the key.
The train was delayed several hours. The
robbers took their time in doing the job
and with the utmost GOODNESS and an eX-
hibition of great nerve. Horses were in
readiness for them, and on the completion
of their work the bandits rode rapidly away
and are now in Mexico beyond reach of the
authorities.
The passengers were unmolested, as the
men seemed TO want only the contents of
express or mail bags. They got all the
money In the express car, which is small
sum, as there never is large amount car
ried west. They also too registered pack
age, two empty mail bags and the mail
which was made up for Dryden postoffice.
After they had gotten what they could
from the mail and express car, they re-
turned the money which they had taken
from the mali clerk and express messenger
and left the train. The express messenger
was j. e. Smith, of Wells-Fargo's service,
who obtained national fame by Killing two
robbers near Ell Paso, a couple of years
ago. This time he was outnumbered,
though he stood off the marauders as long
as possible, but was finally forced to give
in.
a band of robbers attempted to hold up
this train as Tabor, only few miles from
the scene of last nights attack several
weeks ago, by cutting the telegraph wires
and shooting into the station operators Of
flee, but from some cause, decided to aban-
don their plan and dispersed. Extra pre-
caution has been exercised on the trains of
the Southern Pacific since then, and last
nights robbery is a surprise.
