other attorneys that the Court could
not divide the spoils of robbery be-
tween any of the criminals, and the
contention that the store was started
on the proceeds of the stolen tin box,
threw the plaintiffs case to the ground.
The defense likewise expressed will
ingness to let the question go in this
form and the Judge instructed the jury
to bring in an answer in the affirmative
that the money was stolen.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
prosecution said the money was stol-

it was, and no one denied it, one OF

HOW IT HAPPNED
The Robbery Of the v. & 7. in
1894.

Recent events have caused revival
of interest in the hold-up of the Vir-
ginia and Truckee railroad which oc-
Cured in this city seven years ago.
1t was between six and seven o'clock |
in the evening Of February 9, 1894, |
when the " and 7. train was held up |
just out of town and the paymaster's |
box containing $500 was taken.
1t was in the dead of winter and
there was considerable snow on the
ground. A small blizzard was blowing
and it was dark night with blind
ing snow storm at the time. just be-
fore the train started Paymaster Mills
took the box from the window and
took it to the train giving it to the
express messenger who placed it in his
car. Then as customary, Mr.. Mills
went back to the passenger coach and
sat down. Just before the train pull
ed out a man got on the las al and
slowly walked through to the front end
He was disguised with false whiskers.
wore SLOUGH hat pulled down over his
eyes and an ulster coat tied about the
waist with a bit OF rope. The only
passenger who noticed him particular
ly, and noted that he was disguised
was Senator Sam WATSON of Esmer-
aida county Sam had about $I,2oo
with him and he took the money and
showed it down in his boots, at the
same time advising a drummer who
was in the seat ahead OF him to re-
frain from making display OF his
money. No warning was given how
ever and this came aut afterwards.
When the train reached the switch
the front end door OF the express car
was broken in with a sledge hammer.
Jack Paige, who was the messenger
in charge, was quickly covered with
a pistol and ordered to hand over the
tin box previously mentioned. After
brief delay he did SO and placed ii
on the arm OF the highwayman, who
backed out still covering his man with
the gun. The mail clerk saw the pro-
ceedings through his window and
quickly slipped the registered pouch
| into the woodbox He saw two high
! waymen. Obedient to orders Paige
! had pulled the bell cord and the trair
stopped
Word OF what had happened was
quickly passed back to the passenger
! coach On this coach were the Unit
! ed States Marshal and his deputy and
two sheriffs OF Nevada, but the only
man who wanted to fight train robbers
was old Sam Longabaugh, who reach
ed down in. his valise and pulling out
pocket revolver was instantly on the
war path.
The train was quickly run back to
town, a posse organized and the
search began.
The next morning the officers foun(
tracks leading to a cabin in Bath:
field In the stove was found a.
calibre Colts revolver, and two sizes
of cartridges. Watch was kept here
for several days but without devel
opment. An overshoe and hat were
found in ditch. In the culvert alons
the track was found false whiskers, the
i sledge hammer used in breaking il
the door, etc, and that is about al
the officers ever found. A couple o
arrests were made but there was ne
evidence.
