ahead. Another artillery duel ensued, the
shotgun taking part this time. No ono was
hurt. Two miles beyond the robber found

jumped OH at cross road and start
Cd across the country, goias south. He
terrorizei farmer into letting him have
horse and rode two miles further south
Here he procured horse and cutter, by
firing OH their owner, German farmer.
The party on the express engine returned
to lyons, where the sheriff of Wayne county
nad organized n posse which, under Deputy
Collins, started in pursuit. Tae farmers
along the robbers line of retreat also turn
ed out fully armed. The runaway was
sighted five miles south OF Newark. The
roads are very bad, AMI he had male poor
speed. He abandoned his rig and ran across
lots to Benton's swamp. But the swamp
proved too full of water to be penetrated,
and the fugitive halted behind a stone wall
and faced his pursuers.
After some parley he surrendered to
Deputy Sheriff Collins. He was taken buck
to Lyons and jailed. He gave the name of
William Cross suil lie was FROM New
Mexico and had beon boarding in Syracuse
for some time. He admitted that be was

Messenger Moore near Utica last fell
The express messenger viii not talk, but
IL is learned that Cross boarded the train at
Syracuse and climbed on top of tine express
car. He had hooked rope Fastening
the hook in the cornice of the roof on one
side Of the car he let himself down on the
other, and resting his toes on the ledge that
runs along this car be looked in the glass Of
the side door and saw the messenger in front
Of an open safe making up his bills Cross
smashed the glass, covered the messenger
with his revolver5 and shouted to him to
hold up his hands.
Mclpenry, however, reached for the sig
nal cord with one hand and his revolver
with his other. A bullet smashed the hand
of the cord, but it had given the signal that
aroused the conductor Then McInenry
fired and put bullet through the robbers
coat. Thereupon the robber shot the mes
senger twice, once in the leg and once in the
left temple. Cross climbed into the car and
desperate struggle took place, which did
not end until the train was stopped for the
first time near Woodsport. The robber
climbed out on top OF the car and remained
there until the train reached Lyons. So far
as can be learned the robber secured ALSO
lutely nothing.
