held up seven miles east of Peach Springs
Ariz., last night, arrived in Los Angeles to-
night Pullman Conductor Holmes said the
robbers held the watchman at Nelson six
miles east of the springs, under guard four
hours waiting for the train. Alexander G.
Summers, the express messenger, who
killed one of the robbers, said that when
he found the train was being held up he
opened the car door cautiously and crawled
out and hid under the car. While
there he saw a robber stand
ing on the car step preparing
to shoot the assistant messenger. Summers
took careful aim with his pistol and sent
bullet through the robbers head. He
afterwards found that this man carried the
outlaws stock of dynamite. Soon after the
robber was shot the other two ran the en-
g;ne with mail and express car some dis
tance down the track. They called their
companion, but finally left with only nine
registered packages. Not having any dy-
Mantle thsy did not attempt TO open the
safes.
Albert s. Grant. mail clerk said that the
robbers demanded admittance to his car
through the engineer. He obeyed the COM
mand, and while the robber covered him
and the engineer with gun he helped HIM
self to nine packages of registered matter.
