Express Messenger Prevents Q
Hold-Up in Missouri
Bomb Exploded After the Attempted
Train Robbery.
Three Suspicious Characters Caught
on the Baggage Car.

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 SIS 7. NJ, In
charge of Conductor Mansfield. About
$50. 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 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. lie 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, five 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, n
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 trial In. 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

When the train reached Pacific, three
men. who said they were Hiram Lowry.

were riding on the blind baggage, were
taken into custody on suspicion OF
being implicated in the attempted hold
up. The men, VINO were unarWeu,
