ence with train robbers, has about de-
cided to adopt the plan now in opera
tion on the Santa Fe system. In order

and looting Of express boxes, heavy
burglar-proof safes will be placed in the
express cars for the safe keeping OF all
vsluables and money in transit, and to
protect express messengers and keep the
robbers out OF the safes, the combination
will be made known only to the COM
pany's agents at stations along the road.
1t will be the duty OF the agents to put
their money packages in the safes on the
trains and take therefrom such packages
as the express messenger may notify
them are in the safe to deliver to them.
The safes are to be dynamite proof.

A BANDIT GAVE
Where the Treasure Is Guarded
by Poisonous Gases.

Where the Treasure Is Guarded
by Poisonous Gases.
The people of the town of Sabinas.
Mex, and surrounding country are ex-
cited over the discovery of a bandits
cave In which fabulous wealth Is be-
lieved to be stored. The cave was the
rendezvous Of the famous bandit, Ell
Colorado. and his followers, who ter
rorized all of Northern Mexico about
century ago. 1t is situated in the
lguana mountains, near Salinas,
and was first discovered three months
ago by an old man named CuevaS, who,
iii some manner, had just come into
possession of chart giving the location
of the cave. He and three sons and
four other relatives started to make AN
exploration of the cave. In an inner
compartment they found large pile of
silver coin OF ancient coinage. They
had filled one sack with the money
when they were all overcome with the
fire damp, with which the cave was
filled, and only four of the party sue.
ceeded in reaching the open air alive.
Old man Cueyas was taken very sick
as the result of his terrible experience,
and few days ago died. On his death
bed he contided to the priest the secret
of the cave, and party of explorers
was at once organized to visit and Sc
cure tho treasure. 1t was headed by
Silverlo Cara, prominent citizen of
Sabinas. They were all driven out of
the cave by the noxious gases, and two
members of the party have died from
the effects of the poison which they in
hailed. The news of this second eXpedi-
ton had become public, and the author
tiles have placed guards at the cave to
guard the treasure until furthereXplora-
lions can be made. The general gov
eminent has been notified of the situa-
ii on.
