and with the engineer in front OF them
marched to the express car. The messslGer

tents removed.
Several packages of valuable papers wcre
found beside the track and some money
which had been overlooked in the hurry Of
departure.
The Wells-Fargo officials say the amount
of money secured by the robbers was only
S1277. About one hundred mounted men
are in pursuit Of the robbers. The robbers
ran the detached locomotive about four miles
from the point where they robbed the train
and killed her fire and took to the woods. II
took Engineer Price and Fireman Meyers
more than an hour to get up steam again
and the train arrived at Lebanon more thar
! two hours late.
While none Of the passengers were mo
