the aim Of one of the bandits that Mr..

head
The two desperadoes fired four shots
more TO alarm the other passengers.
and then went calmly on to rob the oc-
cupants Of the sleeper. In few min
utes, however, realizing that they had
killed a man. desperate efforts were
made by the smaller of the desperadoes
to stop the train. and as the train drew
into Hugo and stopped, both men ran
for the door, tore open the vestibule
and, leaping to the platform, ran across

lying on his back, his revolver grasped
In his hand. From the nature of the
wound it is believed that death was in
stantaneous. Murphy at once left the
train and notified the agent. and in less
than an hour Sheriff John w. Freeman,
with six well mounted men, had ridden
out Of Hugo on the trail Of the fleeing
bandits.
The amount secured by the bandits
was only S2J in cash.
The two desperadoes are supposed to
have boarded the train. which left Den

either at Limon or Lake. but the exact
place is not definitely known. The
train stopped at Limon. and the next
stop was at Lake. fifteen miles east
OF Limon. Lake has only coal
chute and water tank. and the train
stopped at the tank for water. 1t is
believed the men got on the train at
Lake. for the train had only gone n
short distance before Conductor Smith

wearing masks over the upper portions
of their faces come into the door of
the Asiatic. They pointed their revol-
vers AT him and gruffly told him to
walk ahead of them. The negro porter.

of the bandits.
The men seemed nervous and in

From the Asiatic they went into the

In the Lebo. which was the Kansas

and the half-awake and terrified pas
sengers handed out whatever they
could get their hands upon. Several
times the men told the passengers to
hurry, accompanying their orders with
oaths. They went through the cars
with rush, snatcbing the things
handed out to them and dropping them
into their pockets without even a
glance at what they were or the
amounts.

pied by Mrs. Harger, Mr.. Fay 10 said
to have put his head out from between
the curtains to ascertain, apparently,
what was the matter, for the men
were talking gruffly. and there WAS
more than the usual noise In the car.
Accounts as to the killing Of Mr.. Fay
differ One is that he shot at one Of
the bandits, who turned and shot him,
but this is not believed, nc,withstand-
ing that his revolver was found
clinched in his hand. The other ac-
count is that as soon as he put his
head out Of the berth. he started to
GET ont, seeing the men In the act of
robbing Mrs. Harger. Itsis said that
he was seen to be holding a revolver.
Scarcely had he made a motion rs II
to raise his arm before the robber who
was acting us guard shot him. The
bullet entered his mouth. causing n
large wound. from which the blood
burst in stream. Mr.. Fay fell back
in his berth. No other passenger
looked out from between the curtains.
but the men fred four more shots from
their revolvers to intimidate the occu'
pants of the car.
The printed description of the men is
as follows: One man about five feet
