ROBBERS FOILED.

Last Saturday evening tue
Southern Pacific train going west
from Deming had some undesir-
able passengers on board. Before
the lights of Deming had been left
behind, the engineer looked back
and saw two armed men on the
front end of the baggage car and
Immediately concluded that 1t
would be better for him to take
them back to Deming. He re-
versed his engine and vent back
but when he arrived at the station
his passengers were not to De
found.
Had the discovery not been
made until the train was out oil
sight OF Deming there is no doubt
that another robbery would have
been attempted, but the robbers
apparently, dId not care to make
an attempt atrobbery SO near town
where a posse would have been in
pursnit in less than half an hour.
