SAVED BY A BAD FUSE.
Texas Train Robbers Desper-
ate Attempt Failed.
SHOT THE FIREMAN, KILLED THE
ENGINEER,

fort Worth, T+x.,-JulY 22-
Masked n'n last night killed the
fireman aud shot the engineer of
the Sauta Fe express, captured the
train and ran it for several miles,
and then tried to blow up the ex-
press car with dynamite.
The only thing that kept them
from blowing the whole train to
smithereeps and killing q number of
passengers was the failure OF the
fuse to burn long enough. The ex.
plosive they attempted to use was
sufficient, If it had ignited, to have
destroyed the entire train.
The train, a south bound passen-
ger, due here at 1920, was held up
at Saginaw, eight miles north of
here
Two of the robbers boarded the
engine at Saginaw and covered Abe
engineer.
The two masked men crawled over
the back OF the tender and opened
fire on the engineer Joe Williams
and the fireman W. w. Whitaker,
without saying a word.
They kept on shooting until Whit
taker who was shot through the
head and breast, fell dead from the
cab.
Williams sank to the Hoor of the
cab badly wounded in the right leg.
The robbers then pushed the
bleeding helpless engineer to the
ground and took charge of the loco
motive.
They ran the train towards this
city to . point about one and half
miles north OF the limits. There
they brought the train to stand and
an assault was made on the richly
laden express car.
But here it was case of Greek
meet Greek.
Express messenger Howard lock
ed the door of the car and seizing
his Winchester stood guard against
attempt at tearing away the window
bars.
Seeing that an entrance could not
be gained by ordinary means, the
bandits placed tremendous charge
o, dynamite under the express car,
and fastened away to a deep cut to
await the explosion.
But no explosion followed The
fuse had died out.
Meanwhile Supt. Pandell, who
was on the train had come forward
with the crew an secured posse.
The latter swooped down on the
cut and opened fire on the hiding
robbers at close range.
But the darkness prevented accurate
shooting. Some 70 shots were ex.
changed between the robbers and
the officers. It is believed that one
of the former was killed as one was
seen to sink IN the high grass
None of the officers were hit.
While waiting for reinforcements
from the city the posse permitted the
robbers to escape, but they are be-
ing followed to day.
It is said there were four or five
robbers.
They had placed enough dynamite
under the express car to destroy the
entire train.
