BULLETS. NOT BOOTY.

Futn Attempt at Train Robbery on the
Southern Pacific The Sunset Limited
Was Hold Up-The Guards In the Ex-
press Car Took a Hand I'm the Melee,
Killed the Leader of the Robbers and
Wounded Another as He Fled.
DENVER. COL, Dec. IA special
from Ell Paso, Tex, says: Meager par
ticulars We're received in this city late
Thursday night from San Simon, a
station just east of Wilcox, Ariz., on
the Southern Pacific, of a train hold
up.
Train No. 90, the Sunset limited, had
Just left STEMS Pass, n. NJ, near the
Arizona line, when the engineer noticed
a danger signal in front and Immediate
~ applied the air brakes. No sooner was
the train brought to a stop than five
men stepped out from their hiding
place near the tracks, all heavily
armed. One covered the engineer and
fireman with his Winchester, while the
others gave their attention to the train
proper, more especially to the express
car, firing their guns in the air and
otherwise frightening the passengers.
At this point the guards in the ex.
press car took a hand in the fusillade.
Thirty or forty shots are said to have
been fred by both sides. One Wells
Fargo guard, Jennings by name, sue
ceeded in killing Robber Cullen, who
was nearest to the car, was who was
evidently the leader, for as soon as
the other robbers noticed his
body lying on the ground, they
lost courage and made a break for
their horses, but another bullet from
Jennings Winchester evidently struck
one of the fleeing robbers, as he was
seen to fall, and was assisted out of
range by his comrades.
No express money was stolen, and
none of the passengers were hurt.

United States Attorney FoOte Directed t.
Proceed Against the Coal Dealers As.
ISOLATION of California.
WASHINGTON, De C. 1.-THE attorney
general yesterday directed United
States Attorney 81. S. Foote at San
Francisco to file a bill in eq uity
against the Coal Dealers association of
California for violation of the anti
trust law of July 2, 1890.
1t is stated that the association is
composed of retail dealers of San
Francisco and has for its object the
control of the retail trade. The con-
stitution and bylaws of the associa-
ton, which have been under consid-
Grafton in the department of justice
for some time, are said to disclose the
fact that the members are bound under
severe penalties not to sell coal at
less price than is fixed by the associa-
ton and otherwise to observe all of its

tions imposed upon members which it
is alleged clearly bring the association
