FORT WORTH, Tex. June 3.-A
bold and successful train robbery oc-
CURED Wednesday night on the Santa
Fe road switch IN the Otoe reserva-
ton, Indian Territory. The train ar
rived at 0:35 on time and was boarded
at the station by the robbers who
climbed over the tank and with drawn
pistols compelled the engineer TO stop
az the switch. about 100 yards from
the depot. One OF the robbers re-
manned on the engine and taking the
fireman with them the robbers went
to the door Of the express car and de-
manded admittance. Wells. Fargo q
Co. 8 messenger realizing the situa-
ton, Darricaded the door, and with a
guard whom the company employs as
q measure of additional safety pre-
pared to defend the treasure box.
The ROBBERS. finding that they could
not secure an entrance without fight
compelled the fireman 10 get mis- coal
hammer from the engine and with
this they battered hole in the door
of the car. In the meantime an in
cessant firing had been kept up and
in consequence the passengers ana
train crew were intimiiated and afraid
to leave the cars. The messenger
and companions, finding that further
resistance would be useless, finally
surrendered and the robbers entered
the car. Securing the safe key they
plundered the packages and took
everything of value including a watch
and chain and $50 in money from the
person of the guard. Having accom-
plished their purpose the robbers dis
appeared in the darkness and the
train was allowed to proceed The
amount obtained is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000. The
car looked as if it had been fired upon
by platoon OF infantry. so numerous
were the bullet holes on both sides.
The escape of the two men in the car
was miraculous. 1t is believed that
the robbery was the work of the Dial
ton gang. the members OF which
piratical crew have been the terror Of
the territory for years.
