bers three miles cast of Brady's Island,
pulled into Omaha two hours and ten
minutes late. II the news of the occur
renee had not preceded it the appcaran CO
of the express car was sufficient to show
that something unusual had occurred.
The dynamite explosion had blown all
the windows from the car and through
the openings could be the seen shattered
interior. The floor was Uttered with bits
of glass and splinterS and the safes,
trunks and other articles all bore evil
Gcnce of the tremendous force of the ex.
plosion.
The big safe a. one side on which the
dynamite had been piled was badly man
Gled. The top was cracked in several di-
rections and one big rent near the center
indicated the spot where the explosive
had been placed The force of the explo-
| sion, however, was not suiiic to afford
access to the interior. Express Messen-
ger Thomas McCarl was engaged in
making up his report. According to his
statement the robbers did not get over
! 500 for their trouble. They had sacked
the way safe, but failed to get inside of
the large safe which contained the most
valuable packages.
Conductor Flynn says that the robbers
undoubtedly boarded the train at Brady 5
Island. They laid low until the train
reached the second curv G in the sand hills,
when they climbed over the tender and
| levellei their revolvers at the engineer
and fireman and compelled them to stop
the train. Then they ordered the engineer
to cut the train behind the express car,
but he pretended that he could not undo

I Then they took him to the north door OF

| The engineer told the messenger that
they carried Winchesters and would blow
