Der ia Thief CaDtured-NO Ball
Tomorrow as Advertised.

A daring and successful robbery oc-
Cured on the west bound train Thurs,
day afternoon. Just after the train
left Nyssa, a station on the Short Line
twenty-five miles west of Caldwell, a
man in one Of the coaches approached
two of the passengers asking change
for SIS, at the same time rendering
that amount. The unsuspecting pas
sengers Immediately drew their pocket
books searching for change when two
confederates of the man wanting
change appeared on the scene and
snatched the pocket books from the
owners hands. The coach was imme-
diateIy in uproar, but the robbers
cOolly drew six-shOoters and pointed
them at the excited passengers ordering
them to their seats and to remain
quiet. They then found seats them
selves with their guns trained for &C.
ton, and the train pulled into Ontario.
As the robbers did not leave the train
on its arrival the trainmen telegraphed
the officers at Payette to meet them
1t was not until some distance out of
Ontario that the train men discovered
that the trio was not with them-they
had quietly dropped from the train
when pulling out of Ontario and on
their arrival at Payette they had no
robbers.
Constable Edwards Immediately took
a freight train back and leaving dep
uty ut Ontario came on to Caldwell,
arriving here about p. M, when he re-
ceived a dispatch from Ontario saying
therobbers were at that place. He took
the first train back confident that he
would land his men before morning.
Mr.. Edwards says the gang that did
the work have been operating among
the Short Line towns for some time,
having been in Weiser all day before.
