st, Louis, Mo. Nov 2i.--News was
received here tonight Of the holding
up Of the Iron Mountain cannon ball
passenger train, bound north, at Gif-
ford, Ark, few miles this side of NAL
yern Junction. The hold-up occurred
at 1880 o'clock. and was participated In
by half a dozen men.
The bandits had built a huge bonfire
on the track, undoubtedly figuring that
II would cause the engineer 10 bring
the train to a standstill He, however,
seeming an attempted robbery. opened
thethrottle and sought TO push through
the fiery obstruction. Several ties OF
which the fire was made, caught IN the
pilot and soon brought the train 10 a
stop. Instantly three masked men
ordered the engineer and fireman TO
leave the engine at once. Another rob
Der went on the side OF the car, hailed
the conductor and ordered him TO re-
main inside. Each order was obeyed.
While the four robbers were stand
ing guard and occasionally firing a shot
to frighten the passengers. their two
accompllces entered the express car
and ordered Messenger Samuel r..
Avery to step aside or get to the other
corner
The large safe was charged five times
with dynamite, each explosion making
a terrific noise and tearing of portions
Of the car, large hole was bored into
the door Of the safe. but an entrance
could not be effected.
The robbers finally announced that
they had no more dynamite and then
they gave up the task Of forcing open
the door.
Then picking up the local express
box and several packages they ran TO
their horses, which had been hitched
nearby, and rode rapidly away.
Messenger Avery was badly hurt
about the head and face by flying
splinters hurled about by the dynamite
explosions. one side OF his face was
terribly lacerated and several teeth
were Knocked out.
The sheriff OF Hot Springs county or
ganlzed posse and started AT once In
pursuit OF the robbers. The train crew
say the bandits are amateurs, as they
went at their work In a bunglng fash
ion. All wore masks.
The trainmen say the small box car
ried on by the robbers contained about
$50. IL Is positively known that the
robbers secured several sacks OF silver
coin containing 500
