MINNESOTA BANDITS.
The Great Northern Train Held Up
Near Fergus Falls. 49,.
Express Car is Wrecked With Dynamite
and One of the Safes Looted. Pas
sengers Badly Frightened but
are Not MOlested.

Fergus Falls, MIMI, Nov. LINE
Great Northern train which passes
through this city at 1880 p. m. was held
up and robbed about five miles west of
here last night. There were eight
robbers in the gang, all well armed.
Two of them evidently boarded the
blind baggage in this city. The train
was scarcely out of town when these
two climbed over the tender and, pre-
senting revolvers, told Engineer Bruce
and his fireman to stop at lonely spot
near the Pelican river bridge. Arriv-
ing at this place, the tt ain was stopped
and the engineer and fireman were or
dered to leave the cab. The other
members of the gang rushed from the
woods and boarded the express car.
All wore handkerchiefs over their
faces. The gang was regularly organ
lied and went by numbers.
When the train stopped the conduc-
tor and brakeman started forward to-
find out what the trouble was, but the
bandits fired number of shots and
warned them to keep back. They
then compelled the express messenger
to leave the car, and while three or
four stood guard, the others proceeded
to blow up the safes. The local safe
was destroyed, and it is thought that
they succeeded in securing consider
able money, but the exact amount
cannot be learned,
The through safe was drilled and
dynamited, four charges being used.
The jacket was blown off, but it was
fn ha
part and get at the cash, They worked
over it nearly two hours, holding the
train for that length of time, but final
ly gave up the attempt, and, joining
their companions on the outside, start
ed south.
The two men who stood guard over
the engineer compelled him to give up
$50 which he had upon his person.
The express car had been somewhat,
wrecked by the explosion, but the
train men managed to get it to Car
Isle, where it was patched up and the
train proceeded on it's westward Jour-
ney.
Conductor Smith sent trainman
back to the city togive the alarm but
! nothing has been seen or heard of him.
On reaching Carlisle the facts were
wired to railroad headquarters and
kilograms were sent to all towns in
the vicinity requesting the authorities
to send posses in pursuit of the high
waymen.
Two posses headed by Sheriff Bill
lings and the local police have left the
city in pursuit.
It SO happened that Fergus Falls was
without electric lights last night, for
the first time this year, and the dark
ness may have been a decided advant-
age to the robbers. 1t is believed they
may have come back here and then
taken the way west toward Brecken-
ridge.
The country around Pelican bridge,
where the train was held up, is con-
tinuously settled, and the farmers are
helping in the pursuit. Most of it is
cleared, but there are patches of
woods. 1t is hilly, rolling country,
and gives fairly good cover for the
fugitives.
There is no clue to the robbers. The
descriptions are vague and no one saw
their faces.

stocks became semi-stagnant. In the dull
ness which supervened the movement OF
prices for standard stocks was extremely
irregular. the irregularity extending so
far as a contrary movement of different
issues OF the same company.
Generally speaking, the Pacific stocks
including Northern. Union Central and
Southern Pacific. suffered from extern
sive proft-taking sales. The Changers
were in the same category. The slug
gishness and heaviness of the railroad
list caused continued diversion of
speculative activity into the industrial
speciates. Sugar showed the greatest
activity, and its decline in the late deal
ings. after an early period of strength
was no small factor in the general heavi-
ness toward the close Of the day. The
decline in this speciality was based on
the lowering in price of the product by Il
leading competitor and in the opinion
that the recent demand of the trade has
been altogether abnormal. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit rose at one time above
40, to the high record price. and Me

New York. Dec 2-The situation as
summed up before the opening of the
market this morning favored the bear
faction and the general opinion prevailed
that prices would open lower. Liver
pool cables were a distinct disapn0int-
ment: the crop movement promised to
fill early estimates, while weather re-
ports were quite favorable to harvesting
operations. Foreign representatives
were known to be in possession of quite
generous selling orders. and leading
hears showed Il disposition to pursue an
aggressive policy. Opening developments
brought out unexpected resistance on
the part of the market to any consid-
cradle decline. the range of initial sales
being at n loss of , points to a gain of

from abroad satisfying orders in hand.
