tardly crime became known mob of
negroes gathered and captured the young

SAN ANGELO, Texas, May 2G. The
West-b0und passenger train WAS held up
and robbed at Coleman this morning by
two masked men. The brakeman, pOr-

with six shooters, and MeSsen-
ger Barry was compelled to open the
eXpl.HS door at the point OF a gun.
1t could not be learned what
amount was secured from the ex-
press company, although it is generally
believed the robbers were well paid tor
their trouble. The passengers were not
molest"d. After taking everything of
value, including the pay check for the
railroad employees of San Angelo, Bal
linger and other western points, the
robbers fired two shots in close range TO
the heads Of the crew, and bid them
