STOOD THEM OFF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MESSENGER
DEFENDS HIS CAR.
Against a Vigorous Attack Of Train Robbers
They Made Use Of Both Guns and Dyna.
mite, but Did Not Succeed in DisIodsinS
the Messenger - Some Registered Mail
Secured by the Bandits.

Eugene, Ore, Oct. 3D. The north
bound Southern Pacific overland express
which was due here at 3 40 a. M, was
held up ny robbers near Walkers sta
ton, fifteen miles south of here at 8
o'clock and the express car badly dam
aged, but the robbers booty amounted
to little.
Two men boarded the train at Cottage
Grove, climbing on as the train pulled
ont. After passing Walkers, which is
four miles north of Cottage Grove, they
climbed over the tender and covered En-
gineer Jack Nichols and the fireman and
his helper. The train was ordered stop
ped, after which the fireman and helper
were ordered to uncouple the train be-
tween the express car and the first coach.
Engineer Nichols was then ordered to
pull ahead. the fireman and helper being
left behind.
After going short distance the train
was stopped and the robbers proceeded
to the express car, taking with them the
engineer. Theexpress car was blown open
with dynamite and Express Messenger
G. X. Charles was ordered out, but re-
fused, and with his shotgun commanded
the situation inside of the car. The
robbers ordered him to come out or be
blown up with the car, but he responded
elbow and be damned ~
The car was then riddled with rifle
bullets, which did not injure the messen-
ger, who kept up continuous fire from
the inside, which held the robbers at bay.
A charge of dynamite was then thrown
into the car with burning fuse, but
Charles grabbed it and threw it outside,
where it exploded.
Next the robbers compelled the engi-
neer to crawl up to the opening inside of
the car, hoping to use him as a protec-
ton from the messengers shots, but the
kept up steady fire over the
engineers head and still held the rob-
bers at bay.
The robbers then gave up the task OF
securing the express treasure and went
for the mail. They secured the regis
tered mail, then cut the engine out from
the rest of the train and ordered Engi-
neer Nichols to pull ahead. They run to
Judkins' Point, in the outskirts of Eu-
gene, where they disembarked and or
dered the engineer to return and get his
train.
The train arrived here at 80, about
four hours late. The news was wired from
Saginaw and officers were out in search of
the robbers oarly this morning, but as yet
have secured no trace of them. They are
by having no description of
the men, but it is considered probable the
robbers will be caught before they can get
out of the valley. Posses from both Lane
and Douglas counties are out in search of
the bandits.

sessed and constantly sent word of en-
couragement to the men below, letting
