BOLD BANDITS REpULSED.
One Train RObber Shot Dead aud Another
Seriously Wounded.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 24.-The At
lantic express on the Oregon RAILROAD
d Navigation line was held up by four
masked men last night near Corbett
station, II miles east of this city. One
OF the robbers was shot and killed by
Express Messenger Fred Korner and
Engineer Ollie Barrett was seriously
wounded by the same bullet. After
the shooting the robbers fed without
securing any booty. Two OF the high
waymen boarded the train at Trout.
dale, a station 18 miles east of here,
and after the train had got under
way they crawled over the tender, aud
covering the engineer and fireman vita
revolvers, told them to stop at mile
post p, which is near Corbett station.
When the train slowed down, two
more men appeared. Two OF the rob-
bers compelled the engineer to leave
the cab and accompany them to the
express car while the others watched
the firemen. The men carried several
sticks of dynamite and when they came
to the baggage car, thinking it was
the express car, threw stick at its
door.
Express Messenger Korner heard
the explosion and Immediately secured
his rife and opened fire. A bullet
pierced the heart of one of the robbers
and went through his body, entering
the left breast of Engineer Barrett
who had been ordered by the robber
to walk in front of him while ap.
preaching the baggage car, but who
jumped behind him just before the ex.
press messenger fired. The body of
the dead robber was left behind and
the wounded engineer brought to this
city.
After the shooting the other three
robbers fed without securing any boo
ty. Sheriff Storey and four deputy
sheriffs, who are seeking the bandits,
have small hopes OF capturing the rob-
bers as the country on both sides of
the Columbia river along where the
hold-up occurred is very rough and
heavily timbered. 1t is supposed they
took boat, which they had moored in
the river. Shortly after the arrival
of the sheritf's posse, one of the out
laws was found near the scene, badly
wounded from a charge of buckshot in
the head. He was placed on board
the sheritf's special train, which re-
turned to Portland. The bandit said
his name is Jim Corners and he is
from Portland, but refuses to tell the
names of the other bandits or where
they went. The railroad company has
offered 81, 900 reward for the arrest of
the bandits.
