Train Robbers Attempt TO Wreck Train
with Dynamite.


PACIFIC, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The Frisco
passenger train which left st. Louis
last night at $50 was held up by a lone
robber near Eureka. He was in the
express car when the messenger, E. D.
Ferguson, returned to it from the for
ward car, where he had gone for some
way bills, and sprang from behind the
safe, revolver in hand, as the messen-
ger entered. Ferguson grasped the re-
volver and it went of, the ball going
through his thumb and entering his
left shoulder. He returned the fire,
but owing to the confusion it was i'm
possible to determine whether he
wounded the robber or not. The rob-
Der then pulled the air cord, and when
the train slowed up jumped off and es-
capped in the darkness without secur-
ing any money.
A most remarka BILE feature of the at
tempt at train robbery was the escape
of the entire train and 1873 persons
upon it from absolute destruction.
Desperadoes, who were undoubtedly
Express Messenger Ferguson had
fight, forced open car of
dynamite, which stood on the side
track at the station at Eureka, and stole
two big dynamite cartridges that were
intended for heavy blasting in quar-
ries and mines. They We're placed by
the bandits on the rails. When the
forward wheels of the engine rolled on
the cartridges there was a terrific ex-
plosion which lifted the machine from
the tracks and tore the pilot from the
steel bolts with which it was riveted to
the engine. All the forward part Oh
the machine was wrecked and twisted
and, although it was able to carry the
train few miles beyond. it was SC
badly wrecked that another engine had
to be procured.
The entire train was severely shaken,
the windows broken and the packages
of letters thrown from the boxes in
the mail car. 1t is wonderful how the
carload of dynamite escaped. The ex-
plosion tore a great hole in the earth
wrenched the rails from their fasten.
ings and flung the ties in every di
rection. 1t tore open one side of the
dynamite car and exposed to view tons
of the powerful explosive, yet for some
unaccountab reason this great mass
of dynamite, with energy enough to
blow an entire city off the face of the
earth, did not explode.

LYONS, Aug. There were few peo-
pie around the palace of justice when
the trial of Santo, the assassin of Pres
ident Carnot, was resumed to-day. The
court regulations and military guard
were the same as yesterday and as yes
terday the prisoner was escorted into
the dock handcuffed to two gendarmes
and with two more bringing up the
rear. The prisoner seemed even more
defiant than yesterday and took his
seat with a hooking smile upon his
face.
The prosecuting attorney reviewed
at length all the details of the trial and
demanded that the jury should not hes
itate to do its duty.
At about noon the jury retired, and
after an absence of about fifteen min
utes, during which there was consid-
cradle excitement in court, the jury
returned and announced n verdict of
guilty without eXtenuating circUm-
stances.
The presiding judge, NJ. Breuillac,
then pronounced the sentence of death
