San Antonio, Tex, May 15.-The west
bound Southern Pacific passenger train
was held up by masked men and rob-
bed about 250 miles west OF here early
in the morning. As the train pulled
out of the little town of Lozier three
men jumped aboard, and pointing pis-
tolls at the engineer and fireman COM
PEELED the former to stop the train
about one and half west Of the town.
After forcing the doors Of the express
car one of the robbers entered the car
and dynamited the two safes of the
Weus-Fargo Express company Both
the through and local safes were open
ed and the contents secured. The local
safe contained about $1,000 or $4,000.
The amount secured from the through
safe is unknown. but it is believed it
will not fall below $1,000 or $4,000.
The express car was badly wrecked
by the force Of the explosion Of dyna-
mite The top was blown off and the
sides and floor badly shattered. The
mail was not molested by the robbers,
but it was greatly damaged by the

the front represents America, seated,
and holding in one hand a cornucopia,
in the other a trident and having at
her feet chains just cast off She is in
the act Of receiving from her victorious
sons the trophies of their conquest.
Below this group is an eagle support
ing the arms of the United States.
The group in the back represents
America arousing her sons to a sense
of their slavery. Below are the arms
