Train Robbers Fooled.

SAN BERNARDINo, Cal, Nov. 49,
The westbound Santa Fe overland pas
senger train was held up by four robbers
about l a. M, between Daggett and
Barstow. Express Messenger Hutchin-
son drove them off with buckshot, and
the train pulled out for Los Angeles.
AT Barstow the trainmen sent a posse
back to the scene of the hold-up, where
the body Of one of the robbers was
found perforated with shot. Two
robbers boarded the engine at Daggett
and crawled over the tender. The en-.
gineer stopped the train and succeeded
in escaping to the coaches. Blakely, e
helper, fired at the robbers and they
jumped from the engine. The special

two Of them succeeded in getting on the
train. They were evidently amateurs.
