ger replied by firing his revolver and
pulling the signal core for the engi-
neer to stop. When the train came to-
a %standstill Conductor Sibley ran for
wart to the engine and there found a
cOlored man standing or the coal in
the tender with a revolver in his
hand. He ordered the man down. At
first he refused, but after a short ar
gument he left the tender, Going
back to the express car he vas told by
the messenger what had happened,

when it reached Perryville, on the
further side of the bridge, the two
men again appeared, one on the ten
