last spring for the sale Of the canal for

Helena, Mont, Oct 25.-The east
bound North Coast limited mail on the
Northern Pacific railway was held up
and robbed three miles east of Bear
Mouth about a. M The trainmen
saw one man and think the robbery
may have been committed by him,
without assistance. The robber shot
Engineer O'Neill, who died soon after
wards. The train was in charge of
Conductor Quinn. The combination
baggage and express car was blown to
pieces and all the registered mail was
taken. Superintendent Horn gives the
details of the robbery, so far as
known, in the following dispatch to
General Agent A. D. Edgar of Helena:
''Train No. 2, Conductor Quinn; En-
gineer O'Neill, was held up three
miles east of Bear Mouth Quinn re-
ports that the baggage car, No. 2319,
was blown to pieces. Engineer O'Neill
was shot and has since died. The rob-
bers went through the mail car, taking
all the registered mail but got moth
ing else. They dynamited the combi-
nation baggage and express car"
United States Marshal Charles F.
Lloyd is preparing to render all as
sistance possible Several deputies
will go to the scene Of the robbery by
the first train. A telegram from Mis-
soula states that the robber wore a.
mask and that burlap was tied about
his clothes, completely covering them.
A telegram from Thomas Cooper,
general manager Of the Northern Pa
ciftc company, states that the COM
pany offers $4,000 reward for the cap
ture of the robber, dead or alive.
The robbery was committed sixty
four miles west of Helena in an ex-
ceedingly rough section of the country.
Unless the robber follows the line of
the railway he will be compelled to go
over almost impossible mountains
and through sparsely settled country
where it will be difficult for him to pro-
cure food.
It is believed the robber boarded the
blind baggage when the train stopped
at a water tank near Bear Mouth.
hn +ol Vi
one of the train crew, named Barry,
for a companion, marched down the
track without molesting the passen-
gers.
After going about a mile and half
he told Barry goodbye and took to the
woods. The robber is described as a
short. heavy-set man, stoop-shoul-
dered, dressed like a laboring man,
but wearing light cap and light
shoes.
