Three men attempted to rob the first
section of the Rio Grande passenger
train No. 5, the San Francisco express,

Buena Vista, at $3.50 this evening.
They were foiled because the engineer
of the head engine ignored their signal
to stop.
One of the robbers fired at the fire.

let through the latter's cap. The rob
berry was attempted at the same siding
where a switch was misplaced Wed.

tention of wrecking westbound pass.
enger train No. 1.
When the passenger train neared
Gordon three men appeared on the
track with white light and signalled
the engineer to.stop. Engineer Down.
ing, remembering the experience a few
nights ago. and thinking that an at.
tempt was about to be made to rob the
train, ignored the signal. AS the head
engine passed the three men one of
them took a shot at the fireman, the
bullet passing through the cap OF
Fireman Arthur.
AS soon as the passenger train
reached Malta the affair was reported
back to Salida and the sheriff's office
in Leadville was notified All the
available force in that city has been
sent to the scene of the attempted
robbery.
