ON E
Passenger Train Held Up-Conductor.
Was Forced to Go Through Cars
Wake Up Inmates-woman Saved
Her Bills.

Kansas City, Aug. GA Jurnal spe-
citl from Salina, Kan, says:
Union Pacific east-bound passenger
train No. 4, which left Denver Sunday
night, was held up by two men several
miles west of Hugo, Col, 80 miles this
side of Denver. The passengers in the
Pullman sleepers were robbed of their
money and valuables. An old man
named Fry, a resident of California,
on his way to st. Louis, refused to sur
named Fay, a resident of California,
render his valuables and fired a shot at
one of the robbers, but missed him.
Thereupon the robbers returned the
fire, one shot entering Fay's mouth
and coming out at the back of his head,
killing him almost instantly.
The robbers stopped the train, jump
ed off and escaped
The robbers got onto one of the sleep
ers near Limon and after the train had
started the men made a noise at the
door. The conductor, thinking they
were tramps, opened the door to put
them off. The robbers, who were
masked, pointed pistol at his head
and ordered him to lead the way
through the coaches. All of the pas
sengers were asleep and the conductor
was ordered to wake them one at a.
time. The frightened passengers were
told to keep quiet or they would be
killed, and at the same time were asked
to hand over their. money and valu-
ables. The robbers obtained about 800
in cash and number of gold watches
and other pieces of jewelry.
The robbery took place a few min
utes before 1 o'clock this morning.
The body of Fay, who was killed, was
taken off at Hugo and shipped to Den
yer. He was 6S years of age and a.
prominent Odd Fellow of California.
The conductor, who was compelled to
hold a bag while the robbers relieved
the passengers, lost his watch and
asked that it be returned to him in
order that he might run his train on
time. The robbers gave it back.
After ransacking the two coaches,
the men made the conductor pull the
bell cord, but the train was going so
rapidly that the robbers were taken to
f1uSO DelOrt III slowed up enough TO
enable them to jump. They compelled
the conductor to get off ahead of them
so that if any of the passengers had
been in waiting they would have shot
him first After the robbers had dis
mounted, they ordered the conductor
to return to his train.
Miss Shaw of Denver, a passenger on
the train, arrived in Salina this morn
ing. She stated that when the men en-
tered the car everyone was asleep and
very few knew anything of what was
going on until they were awakened by
the robbers. When the men came to
her berth a pistol was pointed at her
face and was told to be quiet and hand
over her valuables. With great pres
ence of mind, she opened her pocket
book, letting a number of bills fall out
and then handed the purse, containing
some silver, to the robbers She also.
managed to save her watch, which was
pinned to her dress, by placing her
arm over it.

The bicycle, according to a recent
decision of the full bench of the Mas

The bicycle, according to a recent
decision of the full bench OF the Mas
sachusetts supreme court. is not a
carriage" within the meaning Of that
term as used in the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequently not bound
by law to keep their roads in such a
state of repair and smoothness that a
bicycle-rider can 60 over them in
safety. This decision was called forth
by an action brought against a certain
Massachusetts town, because of per-
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tiff while riding her bicycle on one Of
the roads. The court held that BIZ
cycle is more properly a machine than
a carriage" as legally defined, and
that bicycle-riders, injured from acct
dents arising from defects in the high
ways OF cities and towns. have not a
valid claim for damages. The deci-
sion will not prevent them from con-
tinuing the agitation for good and safe
roads.
