An Engineer Opens the Throttle of His Engine
and Runs Away from Six Bandits.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, June 22.-An at
tempt was made this morning to hold up
the Atlantic d Pacific passenger train
which left Coolidge at 2:3O A. Nj. The
train was tagged tour miles east
of Coolidge. and when stopped con-
ductor Robert Crosse and brakeman
Carter got off to learn the cause. They
were confronted by four men with Win
ehesters, who ordered them To throw MP
their hands and move forward to the ex-
presscar and call upon the American ex-
press messenger to open the door.
Two more of the band called upon
tho engineer and fireman to hold
mp their hands. In tho meantime
the messenger. L. f. Higgins. cautiously
opened the express car door. gun in hand,
and seeing the situation. instantly re-
closed il and began to barricsde. Engineer
Lemon saw his opportunity, and telling his
fireman to drop down. he pulled open the
throttle aud dropped himself out of range
of the deadly Winchesters. The train,
being light. speeded down the grade at
lightning speed. leaving the conductor and
brakeman behind in company OF the rob-
bers. The baffled outlaws permitted the
conductor and brakeman Co follow their
train without further molestatIon.

premises. The cottage faces the east. or
nearly so, and sets back about fifteen
feet from the street. The parlor is
on the north side of tho house. and
adjoining 1t on the south is the little bed
room in which the assault yesterday oc-
Cured. In the southwest corner of tho
parlor is q door leading to the dining room.
which is also used as kitchen. OFF this
kitchen. TO the north. is the pantry, or lit
tie room. as Kline called IL. in referring TO
the place where he kept the hatchet. In
the southwest corner of the kitchen Is q
door, which leads out into tho back yard.
This door and the one that opens into
the parlor from the front yard are the only
two that furnish entrance to the house.
In the bedroom which Kline occupied are
two windows. one close to the side OF the
bed and the other facing to the street. In
front of the window facing the street IS
where the tell-ta1e tracks which ex-Mar-
shall Gilchrist discovered begin. The tracks
were about two feet and half apart and
evidently made by man wearing No. z
or No. shoe. The impriuts on the lawn
were plain yesterday afternoon. but they
were somewhat obliterated in the evening
by the unmber of people tramping over the
grass Stakes were placed to mark these
tracks, but the stakes were also trampled
upon. and very little is now left TO show
where the tracks have been. The tracks
Kline home from the one adjoining it on
the south. Over this fence the man MAX
ing the tracks jumped, for the footprints
begin on the other side of the fence and
continue until the front yard fence OF the
nextyard Is reached. IL Is said that In the
afternoon these same footprints could be
seen In the grass plat beyond the street
sidewalk and even across the street. There
Is distinguishing mark to these foot
prints. and that Is they were made by
ohnA laa ahno
that had new heels put on them recently.
The heel prints were square and of uniform
depth. Ii the man that made them con-
tinued In the direction the tracks indicated
he evidently crossed the commons In the
direction of the railroad. In doing this he
would have had to pass close to a new
photograph gallery on the other aide of the
street. PHOTOGRAPHER White said that II q
man had passed close TO his place at the
time OF tbs assault he would have not
noticed him. for both he and his wife were
very busy at the time.
FRONT DOOR WAS OPEN.
After Mrs. Kline found her husband in
the bedroom she started for the street
through the front door. and much to her
surprise. she says, she found 1t open. She
remembers distinctly looking it just after
her husband went to bed. 1t was noted by
those who examined the premises IN the
afternoon that none of tho screen windows
were open, nor had any attempt been made
to tamper with them. This points to the
conclusion that the asssilant of Kline
either entered through the back door of
the house while Mrs. Kline was in the out :
house else he was concealed under the
bed and oame from under it after Kline
had gone to sleep. II he came through the
back door he must have been watching for
Mrs. Kline to go out and then slip In.

THE BLOODY HATCHEr.


Weapon with Which the Brutal Deed Was
Done Belonged to Kiinc.
The hatohet used by the sssailant be-
longed TO Kline and had been recently
sharpened. It was an ordinary affair.
When found on the bed the handle was
well covered with blood and tho stains
were also on tho blunt end. There
were no signs of blood what
ever on the blade. and mono Of
Kline's wounds would indicate that the
blade was used. This hatchet was usually
kept on q shelf IN the little room or pantry.
Mrs. Klino says that when she went into
the pantry yesterday morning early she
reached for some article on the shelf. and
In doing so she noticed that the hatchet was
about to fall. Fearing that in the event
the children werc playing about tho
pantry the hatchet might fall and hurt
them, she decided to take 1t from
its place and put it into the
fool-chest that Kline kept in
Q shed In the rear of the yard. She laid
the hatohet on table in the dining room,
intending to have one of the children take
it down to the shed or take is there herself
when she had occasion to 60 down.
She went down to the shed sew
eral times. but. it seems. evidently
forgot the Ratchet. 1t was lying in
broad view on the table in the dining room.
Mrs Kline appears 10 have lost sight of the
hntchet after Kline went to bed. 1t wac
found afterwards within q few inches of
where Kline lay on the bed. He had
placed his pillow at the foot of the bed in
order to keep tho light from the morning
sun ont of his eyes.
Most of his injuries are on the left side
of his head and body. and this shows tbs
he was facing the door of the room. that Ia
lying on his right side. The handle Of the
hatchet had been jammed into the wound
in his left temple after the blow was struck
with the blunt end. There had, no
doubt. been some sort of q struggle.
for Kline was found on the
floor on the other side of
the bed. 1t seems almost unreasonable to
believe that o man was concealed under
the bed. and afterwards crept out to the
kitchen, picked MP tbo Ratchet returned
and brained Kline. II the man entered
from the rear door he must certainly have
been keeping watch on Mrs. Klins's move-
ments. IL he was doing this where could

that anyone in the Orthonse could

Kline told her that he thought he would go
to bed. He went into the little bed cham,
ber adjoining tho parlor and few minutes
later she went In the room and saw that it
was completely darkened SO that the light
would not hurt his eyes. Then she went
about her household duties.
The front door was open, but before GO

the front screen door. There was no other
door opening to the outside except the one
