CUMBERLAND. Nd, Jan. IA re-
port has been received here of a bold
attempt to hold up Baltimore and Ohio
express train No. 7, bound for Chicago,
which left here at II o'clock at night.
The scene of the attempt was at
Swanton, an isolated spot on the sew
enteen mile grade in the Alleghanies
about forty Ave miles west of here.
The operator, NJ. j. Sarsheld. states
that five men came into his Office. the
operator being alone and 10 house
near, and offered him candy Before
he knew ii he was knocked into in
sensibility, a padded club being used
over his head The men then turned a
switch, running the fast flying train
into derailng switch used for freight
traffic.
The quick application Of air brakes
prevented the train from being ditched.
The train crew anticipated trouble. and
the armed express officers who protect
trains from holdups through that wild
region made such demonstration that
the men rushed into the mountain,
while shots were exchanged. An armed
posse is now reported to be pursuing
the bandits.
The whole country is much excited
over this bold affair. The operator re-
covered consciousness in a short time.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS EXPERIENCE
Explorer Whymper Says worlds
Mountain CIimbsrs Could Not Con-
Vuer These Mighty Peaks
In . Century.


MONTREAL, Jan. 7.-Mr. Edward
Whymper, conceded to be the greatest
Of mountain climbers, has just given
out a review of his experiences last
summer IN climbing the Canadian
Rockies. He had previously climbed
the Alps, scaled the heights of the
Matterhorn, ascended the highest alti-
tudes of the Andes and then turned his
attention to Canada, where he spent
the entire summer and fall, and he
sums up this last expedition with the
words, III all the mountain climbers
In the world today were to make u
combined attempt to explore the Cana
dian Rockies. their task would not be
completed within century"
Leaving London May 23, Mr.. Whym-
per reached Banff, in the Canadian Ma
tional park, June Q. In addition to Mr..
Whytnper the party consisted of four
moUntaineers of great experience from
the Swiss Alps and Mr.. q. W. Frank.
lyn, great-grandson Of Sir Samuel Gu
nard, who was Photographic assistant.
The objects In view were to determine
ns accurately as possible the altitude
Of all the points and peaks reached,
and the party carried for this purpose
four mercurial mountain barometers.
On this point Mr.. Whymper says:
1.-THE scarcity Of good observations of
temperature at considerable elevations
III the Canadian Rockies made it nec-
eesary to observe the Thermometer fire.
Quehtly. Temperature is Of the first
Importance for the mountain climber,
ana It will be interesting to many to
learn that the temperatures which
were experienced throughout the jour
ney were moderate, either as regards
heat or cold. in comparison with the
temperatures which occurr on ether
mountains of equal altitude In similar
atitudes.''
The explorer sums up Ills record Of
the trip by saying:
"The Canadian Rockies. and | may
add the Selkirks as well. differ largely
from the Swiss Alps in that they are
more uniform in height. There are
not 40 many dominating peaks as in
the Alps. which rise to much greater
altitude than the rest Of the ranges,
but from any of the heights of the
Rockies the outlook Is a magnificent
one. The vast ranges are appalling in
their immensely and grandeur, for here
are fifty or sixty Switzerlands rolled
into one. The opportunities for noun
tain climbing are in plenty, and while
many individual peaks are doubtless
inaccessible there are lots of noun
tains yet to be ascended which will
bring credit to their conquerors."
