Bandits Rob Train-Load of Passengers
in Marshall Pass, Colorado.
Tourists from the East to the number
of fifty or more were lined up in the can
yon at the foot of Marshall Pass, Colo,
by gang OF train robbers and relieved Of
all their yaluables A few minutes be-
fore this the highwaymen had stopped
the west-bound passenger train on the
Denver and Rio Grande, almost destroy
ed the express car with several charges
Of dynamite, blown open two safes and
secured their contents. The plumber,
with which the bandits made their es-
cape, nearly filed two gunny sacks, and
its value is thought to have been large.
The robbery was committed at $50 a. M,
at a point known as Mill Switch, near
Chester, on the western slope of Marshall
Pass. The train is the most important
that runs on the narrow-gauge line to
Gunnison, Lake City, Ouray, Telluride
