HELD UP A TRAIN.
Daring Robbery by bandits on
Southern Pacific Road.
AN EXPRESSMAN KILLED.
The Robbers DyHamited the Safes In
the Express Car and Secured
Part of Its Con-
tents.

Sacramento. Cal, April 2.-Thrcc
masked men held up the Oregon eX-
press. Southbound on the Southern
Pacific railroad, at CopIey. near Kcs-
wick, killed w. j. O'Ncil, the cx-
press messenger, and carried off the
contents OF the express box.
Redding. Cal, April At is evident
that the three men who held up the
Oregon express were novices. They
took human life without provocation
and the methods they employed to
open the safes were so crude that
they gained but little plunder.
The particulars of the robbery
were obtained when the train, minus
the express car, reached Redding.
When the train pulled into CopIey,
the hlghwaymen emerged from the
brush. They first encountered
tramp, who was attempting to steal
ride. lie was forced at the point
Of rifle to enter the smoker. Mean
while one of the robbers knocked on
the door of the express car.
W. j. O'NeiI, the Wells-F Fargo mes
senger asked him some question.
The reply was evidently satisfactory,
because O'Neil slid the door back
about IS inches. when rifle bullet
was sent through his body. 1T passed
near his heart and the messenger
fell dead. O'Neil was not armed.
Then while one rOhber remained on
the lookout the other two marched
the engine crew to the express car.
The robbers all the time used vile
language and discharged occasional
shots from their rifles. This APP
prised the passengers of what was
going on, but they remained in the
cars and were not moIestcd. Colford,
helper to Messenger O'Neil. was arm
ed with shotgun and tried to shoot
one of the robbers, but the cartridge
failed to explode. Colrord plucllily
stood his ground and started TO put
another she'll into the gun. but the
robbers lrvclcd their rifles al him
and commanded him to lay down his
gun or be killed.
The robbers then compelled the
two tiremcn and the brakeman to
climb into the smoker.
When the bandits found that Col
ford could not open the safe they
used dynamite, first removing the
body OF O'Neil, which lay near the
safe.
There were two safes in the car. II
heavy through safe and a smaller
local safe. The local safe was blown
to atoms and the top of the through
safe was blown off. Tiny pieces of
grecbackS and twisted coins covered
the floor II is certain that the rob
bers did not get a great amount OF
plunder,

Adjoining Buildings Were
Also Destroyed.

Scranton, Pa, April six persons
are known to have been killed and
five fatally injured by an explosion
in the factory of the Dickson Squih

Those fatally injured are:

Oscar Ayser.
Twenty girls were employed in the
factory. What caused the explosion
is not known. but it is said that one
of the girls threw a sQuib into a
stove and that the force of the ex-
plosion was so great that it wrecked
the building and set it on fire. The
squibs are used in coal mining.
The Dickson Squib Co. occupied
only the first floor of the structure,
the Callahan family having rooms on
the second floor. 1t was here that
TIE two Callahan children lost their
lives. Thomas Callahan, the father,
was at work and Mrs. Callahan had
just left the room when the eXplo-
sion occurred. The children, aged 3
years and months spectively.
were playing on the floor Both were
instantly killed. The building caught
fire and the flames communicated to
two adjoining buildings, one occupied
as hotel and the other as Il butcher
shop. Both were destroyed.
With one exception all of the
bodies have been taken from the de-
bris. The bodies of the dead en-
ployes were so badly burned that it
was with great difficulty that they
could be recognized.

indianapolis, April 2.--While the
food situation throughout south
western Indiana is considerably inn

flood stages of last week, throughout
central Indiana.

After a series of experiments with
carrier pigeons for conveying intelli-
gence, the German naval authorities
have decided to erect permanent pig
con stations on the coasts of the
North and Baltic seas. Every war
ship, except torpedo boats, leaving Kiel
or WiIhemshaven will hereafter carry
consignment of pigeons, to be re-
leased at varying distances from the
land stations. II is estimated tlat the
birds have sufficient endurance to fly
home over a distance of about 1856
miles from land.

An ingenious contrivance has been
Invented by Tom Tod supervising en-
gneer of a railroad in Buenos Ayres,
for use on his official trips of inspec-
fion. As the company is too poor to
supply locomotive and train for it's

himself with a poor handcar. This
has been transformed into boat on
