GUARDS THE ENGINE,
An Automatic Train RObber Dis
cOuraEer on a Colorado Road.

An Automatic Train Robber Dis
cOurager on a Colorado Road.
From the New York Journal.
The Rio Grande railroad, in Colorado. has
equipped its locomotives with a novel train
robber killing device
1t is a means of playing scalding water
and steam over the bapdits.
There is an extra piece Of steel pipe run
ming up from the bottom Of the boiler to
the back of the engine cab. where 1t is fiat
tened out fan-shaped, the angle Of the fan
embracing the front, top and sides of the
blind baggage and express. Another device
of practically the same kind covers the
front. top and sides Of the locomotive
itself. Other engines have a steam pipe
and hose just back Of the engineer, where
1t is handy to grab quickly.
Down near the floor of the cab, In several
places where they can be reached easily.
are little innocent looking buttons that con-
meet with an air valve fitted to the steam
pipe In less time than 1t takes to tell II
the engineer or fireman can touch but
ton and send back over the coal pile in the
tender the hottest jet of water that any
robber ever saw. The boilers carry pres
sure of about 225 pounds, so the water
near the bottom Of the crown sheet will
be at least at the boiling point.
The amount of execution one of the
COOKERS" as they are called, can do in a
few seconds is frightful. Should four or
six robbers get on the front or top of the
stration toward the engineer they can be
disposed of quickly. A slight stream will
make it so hot in the neighborhood that
they will be glad to get off. At the same
time it will fill the air with steam, so that
shooting at the engineer or fireman will be
out of the question. 1t will be impossible
to tell the direction except the way to
jump.
Only once since their installation have
the new machines been put to test. and
that was several weeks ago In the Grand
Canyon, when several tramps threatened to
take charge Of freight train and bully the
crew into submission to their wishes. They
got the conductor and brakeman 'buffa-
loed" back about a dozen car lengths and
then started toward the engineer to make
hlm dig up" some coin.
But the fireman had seen the whole per-
Torrance and tipped off the affair to the
engineer who turned on a small stream
and slowed up to see the fun. The white
mist had no sooner struck the hoboes than
ley made dive of the tops of the cars.
The two fellows with guns. who were back
with The conductor and brakeman, worked
their way ahead to see what caused all the
excitement when they got few stray
splashes Of hot water In the face and also
1upped.
