CARSON, New, Feb. 9.-About O'Clock
this evening. when the Virginia and True
kee mail train was mile out of town, the
expIess-car was smashed in and a box
containing money to pay the wages of sec
ton hands along the road to Reno was de.
manded of Jack Page, Wells, Fargo G.
Co. express messenger, at the point of a
shotgun.
1t is customary to pay off the men on the

master of the road. boarded the train at
the depot this evening with a tin box con-
talning money to the amount not much
over $1,000, though the exact amount could
not be learned. The train moves slowly
going out of town, aud it is evident the
robber got aboard the train when it was
nearing the outskirts, getting on between
the mail and express cars.
w hen about a mile out of town the rear
door of the express-car was suddenly
smashed in and man with shotgun de-
manded the tin box of money, which he
knew to be in the car. The robber then
took hold Of the hellcord and gave the en-
gneer the signal to stop the train, which
was done as soon as possible. After secur-
ing the box the robber jumped from the
train. starting toward town.
The train was Immediately backed down
to the depot. Paymaster Mills Informed
the Sheriff of the robbery and a posse WAS
organized with he intention of tracking
the rubber through the snow. This is
thought hardly possible, as the snow is
falling rapidly, and after the man is once
on broken road the trail would be lost
Messenger Page describes the man as of
ordinary height and weighing about 100
pounds.
He had his cap drawn over his head in
such manner as to be unreeognizab BILE.
The general opinion is that the robber is
now in hiding in the town. 1t Is generally
believed that the robbery was committed
by a man familiar with the situation and
the rules of the road. The posse has not
yet returned.

gripping attachment enabling Evans TO
handle tools.
The other articles found in the cabin
not before mentioned are ten sticks OF
dynamite, which the officers threw in a
well. and bottle of strychnine.

Peck and Timmins crawled down the
canyon about 100 yards in order to cross to
the other side and get cross IRE on the
cabin, and in doing so they accidentally
made noise, which either caught Evans

an instant, and when it cleared away the
bandits had disappeared. The latter were
in the shelter Of the rocks and could have
picked the officers off had they not been
so frightened.
The cabin where the incident occurred
is quarter of a mile above the trail be-
