over the tender and through the gang way into the engine, covering both the firemen and myself with their revolvers. They ordered me to run the train to Twenty-one mile post and stop at a light which would be found there.
 At Twenty-one Mile Post two other masked men came out of the brush and joined us as the train stopped. The new corners ordered us off the engine. The bandits who had been hiding in the brush carried two long willow poles on the ends of which were sticks of dynamite. These were placed in our hands and the fireman and were ordered to go back to the ex- press car and order the messengr to open the door. If he did not, we were to use the dynamite and blow 1t open.
 The bandits kept up fusilade of shots to warn the passengers to keep their win- dows closed. I called out to the messen- ger:
 'Tt Is Barrett. Open the door. Don't shootv'
 This demand had no effect and the bandits took the dynamite poles from our hands and placed them against the door.
 "As soon as the sound of the explosion had died away I was ordered to so ahead or the party towards the car. Instead I stepped behind a rather slender man. one of the bandits, and the fireman followed me. The taller man was in the rear. He was twenty feet from the express car when the messenger fired and killed the robber in front of me. The bullet, we af- forwards found, went through his heart and then struck me in the left shoulder. The robbers then fled"
 Sheriff Storey and four deputies left on a special train for the scene of the rob- bery at 12:45 a. m. The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company offered a reward of N,ooo for the arrest of the highway men.
 Barrett has been in the employ of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com pany for twenty-five years.

THE RIGHT MIR. WRIGHT.
Postmaster Barker Did Not Call the
 Turn Wrong.

Washington, Sept. 24.-(Special. .)-The issue of the right MT. Wright recently precipitated by Postmaster Barker of Mobile, which has been pestering the Civil Service Commission, was settled to- day.
 It will be recalled that these dispatches contained note of the fact MT. Barker had protested against the certihcation for appointment to his office from the eligi- ble list one Lee Wright because the man was addicted to abnormal eating habits. his principal diet being siliceous and me- tallic bric-a-brac products. The Commits sioner was touched by the pathetic ap- peal of the Postmaster and the name of Wright was stricken from the register. The subsequent statement by a Mobile paper that the wrong MT. Wright had been decapitated So jolted the Commits sioners that an inspector was dispatched to Mobile to see about 1t. letter re- ceived this morning by Commissioner Greene finally relieves the embarrassment with the statement that the right Mir. Wright had been fired.

HUNGARIANS MAY REBEL
 X KOSSuthiStS Ass the
 Emperey BARABBAs F sJ1sPokEN Says He Does Not Believe Franz J0Sef'S Words. German Said to Have Promised Troops to Austria Should Occasion | Arise Whereby Armed Force
 Would Be Needed.

Londcn. Sept. 4.-The Daily Mails cor respondent at Berlin telegraphs the state- ment that there is a possibility of a Kos suthist revolution in Hungary. He says that as result of the German Emperor's s visit to Vienna, Germany has promised to assist Austria with troops. should Aus tria be faced with the necessity of using armed force in Macedonia and simulta- neously suppressing a revolution in Hun gary.
 That the latter is not impossible. con- tinues the correspondent, may be gathered from, the fact that General von Beck, chief of the Austrian staff, submitted a plan for mobilizing to Emperor William last week. The idea of placing Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son of the German Emperor, on the Hungarian throne, re- ceives no support in Germany.

SWORE AT THE PRESIDENT
Profane and Abusive Words Within
Hearing of Mrs. Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay special. - Profans
and abusive language was directed to-
ward President Roosevelt and his fam
lily yesterday as they were driving up
to Christ church here to attend the
morning service. The offender was
a resident of Oyster Bay named Nc.
Cam. He was hustled away from the
church unceremoniously by the secret
service operatives.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
two of his children, the president had
driven to the village from Sycamore
Hill to attend church service, as Is
their custom OF Sunday mornings.
Directly in front of Christ church the
man Mccain RAJ walking along the
roadside pushing a bicycle. AS the
presidents carriage was about to turn
into the driveway leading to the
church grounds it passed Mccain,
Without p~rovocation the man, with
an offensive oath, demanded to know
whether they wanted the whole road.
This was followed by abusive and pro-
fame language.
AS the carriage stopped at the
church door the president, greatly an
noyed at the insult offered to Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children, alighted
and directed the attention of the Sc
cret service officers to the man and
ordered that he be compelled to leave
the vicinity of the church.
Mccain hesitated when ordered to
move on, but as an officer was about
to stimulate his movements he sprang
on his wheel and rode away rapidly.
While the incident was annoying to
the president and his family, it is his
desire that nc action be taken against
the man.
