BOLD BANDITS.
They Rob Q Southern Pacific Train
In Arizona Territory.
1 STEEL SAFE BLOWN TO PIECES.
The Robbsrs Secure from $4,000 to $751;
e00-Ths Passengers on the Train
Greatly Tsrrlned-The Bandits
Escape to Mexico.

DENVER, Co.., Feb. LA special from
Phoenix, Ariz., says: The Southern
Pacific westbound train No. 20 was held
up miles this side Of Wilcox Wednes.
day night at s:s5 by party Of masked
men. They separated the express car
from the train, hauled II miles west,
and putting six shots Of dynamite on
the through safe blew it wide open. 1t
contained $4,000 in Mexican silver,
which was removed. The trail Of the
robbers was marked yesterday morn.
Ing by profuse scattering in the Sui.
phur Springs valley Of the Mexican
dollars.
Additional particulars Of the robbery
received at San Francisco state that
five men were concerned In 1t Two
OF the bandits boarded the train at
Wilcox, and when miles west Of town
suddenly appeared in the cab Of the
engine with drawn pistols, compelling
the engineer to stop the train. While
one Of the robbers kept him covered, the
other made the fireman and brakeman
cut tho express and mail oar loose
from the rest Of the train. The engi.
neer was then made to pull the two de.
tached cars on for about miles to
culvert, where two Of the bandit gang
were found holding horses for the en-.
tire party. 1t was here that the safe
was blown open, the men with the
horses having brought the explosives.
Six explosions were effected by the
robbers before they felt satisfied with
their work. The top and sides Of the
express car were thoroughly shattered
and the express company's safe was
blown to pieces.
Besides the 100000 In Mexican money,
there was good deal Of coin on the
train which had been sent TO pay the
railroad employees along the line, and
this was also carried of by the rob.
bers, who rode away In southerly d.
rection. Grant Wheeler, q well known
Arizona desperate, who Is believed to
be the fifth member Of the bandits
party, purchased quantity of giant
powder in Wilcox on the day preceding
the robbery. The Southern Pacific
company and Wells.Fargo Express Co.
offer a joint reward Of $500 for each Of
the robbers.
The robbers left several bags Of gold
and silver in and about the car, not
caring to take 1t on account Of Its
weight. All are thought to have
escaped to Mexico. The passengers on
the train were greatly terrified for
several hours The loss Is said to be
between $50, 900 and $4,000.
