the sides shattered.
There were no attempts made to

c. H. Smith of this city, who was the
express messenger on No. 3 at the
time of the hold up Wednesday,, was
seen by Bee reporter this afternoon
and related his experience.
"At the time the holdup occurred
said Mr.. Smith, was in the second
baggage car. 1t is the custom to send
two express cars from St. Paul to
Havre, but from Havre to Spokane
and western points but one car is
used. The express and baggage for
points on the Montana Central is all
carried in this second car.
81 was in the car checking the stun
for the Montana Central points in
company with Baggageman Geary
when we noticed the train come to a
stop and almost Immediately the
! shooting began. l thought 1t was a
danger signal as it sounded like the
| tOrpedoes that are used when there
is danger ahead.
"The car doors were closed and
Geary opened the door far enough to
look out. He jerked back into the
car and said. My God Smith, it's a
hold up thought he was joking and
at first wouldn't believe him and start
ed to investigate for myself. looked
out the door, but didn't see very much
however, as a bullet passed close ia
my head and drew back and shut the
door in a hurry.
THE baggage car we were in had
no protection whatever as our weap
ons are always kept in the express
car. The express car has steel cur
tains and is otherwise protected, but
the baggage car is different.
Some one pounded on the car door
and told us to open up. It was the
engineer and fireman who were cover
, ed with a Winchester in the hands OF
one of the bandits. We were ordered
to come down, and were marched to
the express car. There were three
men in the hold up One on each side
of the train. The ones on each side
were shooting down the sides of the
train. They We're sitting on the rails
between the express and baggage car
We were stood close to them in such
manner that they could cover us
and at the same time watch the steps
and windows of the train.
"The bandit who appeared to be the
leader and who was armed with q
Winchester rife besides two heavy
revolvers in his belt, ordered be to

when the train stopped a number
of people stuck their heads out Of

"Three explosions were necessary
before the contents of the safe could
be got at. The express car was
blown to splinters, the roof being com.
pletely torn away.
Before they started work on the
safe one of the bandits stepped on the
platform of the smoking car and told
the passengers that they had better
move into the next car behind as the
express car was going to be blown
up and they might get hurt.
