and wake up the passengers Then they
began search of the car
1T was in mi-darkness and all +he
passengers had retired several hours be-
tore. One robber guarded the conductor.
while the other extorted money and val
uables from the daZed passengers at the
point of revolver. All of the passengers
were soon plundered and then the ban
dts entered the forward Pullman, where
L was. An aged man, A. J. Fay discov-
cred what was taking place before any
one else In the car. He partially emerged
from his berth and pointed a revolver
through the folds of the curtain The
bandits saw the revolver and one of them
opened fire. At the same time Fay fired,
and it is believed the bullet struck one
of the men, but of that no one is sure
Fay fell like log and was dead before
his body touched the berth. The bullet
had entered his mouth and had passed
through his head. His blood and brains
were scattered over the bed coverings.
SHOT AT THE PORTER.
"At the moment of the shooting the
train porter entered the car and at once
the men covered him with their revolvers
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. He turned and ran towards the
chair car, the robbers followed him, and
as the porter entered the chair car one
of them deliberately raised his pistol and
sent a bullet after him. The bullet failed
in its mission and the men turned to the
Pullman conductor and ordered him to
stop the train.
! He pulled the rope, but the train did
not slow down. Pull harder one of
them commanded, and the conductor
again struggled with the rope, and so
hard that it parted. 'Uncouple the car
| they then ordered, but he explained to
them that it was a task he could not per
! form. For a dozen miles or more the
train proceeded until 1t, pulled into Hugo
..a SAIL. GOODBYE.
''Then the robbers compelled the CON
ductor to alight, and with mutteI ed
goodbye they walked south ataa brisk
! pace. -
"As near as can judge, they boarded
the train at 1920 a. m. They were. on
board nearly an hour, but after shooting
they were in absolute command. The
male passengers could do nothing and
the women acted admirably. The rob-
beTs' plans evidently miscarried. They
no doubt had horses staked at some con-
venient place, and the accident to the
bell rope makes, in my opinion, a good
guess that they will be captured, if, in
deed, the posse have not secured them.
Hugo is the county seat and the sheriff
and a picked posse are hot on their trail.
The country for miles around is a barren
plain"
MISS SHAW WAS PLUCKY.
Conductor James Follens, who brought
the train from Ellis, related an incident of
Miss Shaw's bravery. After the robbers
visited her berth and relieved her of
what money she had, Miss Shaw dressed
hurriedly and made her way to the second
sleeper, in which they were then work
ing. Accosting of them III the midst of
their work, she exclaimed, Indignantly
