Express Messenger Prevents a
Hold-Up in Missouri.
Bomb Exploded After the Attempted
Train Robbery.
Three Suspicious Characters Caught
on the Baggage Car.
(By Associated Press.)

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 3-An unsuccessful
attempt was made last night to hold
up train No. on the St Louis and
San Francisco road. The train left the
Union Depot here at S.23 L. NJ, in
charge of Conductor Mansfield. About
$780, just before the train reached Eu-
reka, In st. Louis county. thirty miles
from the city, Wells Fargo Express
Messenger Ferguson started to go from
the car In which he was at work to the
one Immediately in the rear.
He was confronted at the door by a
masked man, with a drawn revolver.
who ordered him to throw up his hands.
Ferguson drew his revolver and COM
menced shooting. The robber returned
the fire and sent one bullet through the
messengers shoulder and one through
his hand; he then jumped from the
train and escaped. He Is undoubtedly
wounded. He made no effort to secure
any Of the money in the car.
The robber was probably scared off
by the bravery of the express messen-
ger. The injured man was taken to
Pacific, fve miles west of Eureka,
where his wounds were dressed and
his car transferred to another man. 1t

was interested In the attempted rob-
berry. Just before reaching Eureka, a
bomb exploded under the wheels OF the
engine. This was the signal to stop
and at this point the robbers confeder-
ates would have boarded the train. But
when the messenger started for the
rear car, the robber on the platform
found II necessary to begin business at
once, and the plans OF the gang were
frustrated.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by dynamite. The head
light was extinguished, the pilot partly
blown away and other parts OF the
front end OF the engine damaged, but
nobody hurt.
When the train reached Pacific, three
men. who said they were Hiram Lowry.
Henry Cullen and Downey Stewart. and
were riding on the blind baggage, were
taken into custody on suspicion of
being implicated in the attempted hold
up. The men, who were unarmed,
stated that they were railroad en-
ployees stealing a ride.
