HERO SHOT down
At THE THROTTLE
Engineer Refuses RObber' S
demand to Stop
PULLS OPEN The ENGINE
One Daring Man Commits the Murder, Rifles
The Fxoress Car, Forces Train Hands
TO Run the Train to His Place
Of Departure.
CBy the Associated Press.)


Nissoula, Mont, Oct 24.-An east
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific was held up last night near
Drummond, Mont, forty-fve miles from
this city, and Engineer Dan O'NeiH was
killed.
The train which included nail. bas-
gage and express cars ana nine coaches,
arrived at Missoula at 1920 p. IL" and
proceeded eastward after Short delay
at this station. 1t arrived after mid
night at place two miles west of Drum
mond. Here the train was signalled to
stop and the engineer slowed up. While
doing so, he saw a man creeping toward
him over the tender. The man, who was
armed, called to O'Neill to stop the
train instantly.
The engineer took in the situation at
once, and pulling open the throttle, tried
to start the train at full speed. The
robber OWNED his purpose, and fired at
him. The shot took instant effect and
the engineer fell dead at his post. The
robber then proceeded to rifle the express
cars. He plundered the regular mail
and blew open the safe in the express
car. which was wrecked by the eX-
plosion.
The amount of plunder which he se-
cured is not known at present. but it is
supposed to be large. The excitement on
the train was intense. The sudden stop
page of the train, followed by the eX-
plosion, spread alarm among the train
hands, and the passengers. The dark
ness of the night and the loneliness of
the place added to the general scenes
of terror.
Word of the attack was sent TO Drum
mond. whence it was telosraphea to Aeor
Lodge about fifty miles away Blood
hounds were sent out at once and steps
were taken to keep vigil and watch fc7
the robbers.
It was assumed that at least eight ncn
were engaged in the hold-up, but the
latest advices are that one man alone
perpetrated the murder and robbery.
Dan O'Neill the dead engineer, lived
in this city and had wife and five chill
dren. He had been in the service of the
Northern Pacific Company longer than
any engineer.
The robber boasted that lie was the
man who took part in the hold-up Of the
Southern Pacific train near Portland,
Ore. about one year ago. lie made this
boast to the train-hands to terroize
them while he employed them to run the
train four miles to a point two miles
east of Drummond He declared that he
would be hard to catch, as he had a
horse in the timber.
The Northern Pacific has offered q re-
ward Of S.. 900 for delivery, dead or alive,
Of tho train robber who killed O'Nein
The mask worn h. The bandit was
found Oh a mountain trail two miles from
the scene of the hold-up and that after
giving the hounds the seen tof the mask,

trail which was about eight hours old.
