IN a BUFFALO's HIDE.
a WomlG-He Train Robber Nabbed
by Messenger.
specia! to the Globe

Special to the Globe
DEADwooD. s. D., Jan. 27.-The eX-
press messenger OH the Elkhorn had an
exciting experience on the down run
from the Hills. A stuffed buffalo was
loaded Oh the express car at Whitewood,
mounted so as To stand upon its feet.
Between Chanron and Hay Springs the
messenger discovered that the monarch
of the plains had removed one of the
artificial eyes, and instead had sub
stiluted what looked like the muZzie of
Il SiX-shooter. He was paralyzed for a
few momeuts, until he realized that
the protuberance ranged considerably
higher than his head. He watched the
stuffed buffalo from Il corner of his eye
While he did some pretended work at
his table. After a few moments the
eye appeared i'll place again all
right, and the messenger took courage.
lie began to sing and talk to himself,
and finally walked boldly to the buffalo
and began to talk to it. He felt some
thing move inside, mounted the animal
and realized at once that a train robber
was concealed within the shaggy hide.
l1G lllOuSuI lIle SAFEST way " stCU etuo
keep out of range of what he knew to
he gun that he had seen protruded
from the animals eye would be to jump
astIide the monsters back. No sooner
thought than done. The back of the
stuffed creature gave way and he
sank down on the PROSTATE form OF a
man, who could neither turn nor twist
from beneath his weight. The robber
at first threatened. then begged, and
finally prayed, but all to no effect. The
messenger rode the buffalo into Hay
Springs. and when the train stopped
yelled for help. The train force heard
the cries and broke open the door of the
express car, and when first they saw the
messenger astride the stuffed buffalo
were inclined to laugh, but when the
train robber began to ask for mercy they
at once saw the situation and rushed to
the rescue and secured the toughest
looking outlaw. armed to the teeth, that
they had ever seen, who gave his name
as Joe Dalton, refusing to give any
other information. He was lodged in
Jail at Hay Springs, where he sill re-
mains. The messenger was the chief
attraction into Omaha, where, we are
told, he received a good snug sum of
money for his pluck. The safe in the
car contained $4,000 in money, and the
man had been expressed i'll this stuffed
buffalo for the purpose OF rObblng the
messenger of this large sum.
