WORK OF LONE R0BBER.
Loots WelI-Fargo Express Car on
Santa Fe Road Of 2c0,Oo-Meesen-
GER Shot and Fatally Wounded.

The Wells-Fargo express car on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe over
land passenger train No. /, westbound,
was entered early Monday morning
somewhere between Needles and Dag
gett, Texas, and Vena o. Roberts, the
express Messenger, shot and fatally
wounded and the way safe rifled.
The Wells-Fargo company was ex-
pecting a large shipment Of United
States pension money, totaling $780,
900, it is said, and it is possible that
this shipment may have been on the
train. 1t is known that the local off,
cials were greatly exercised over the
robbery, and al Barstow placed sub
stitute messenger on board the car,
with orders to guard everything in it
with the greatest secrecy.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til the train reached Daggett. Con-
ductor Hawes opened the door of the
express car at Daggett and found Mes
senger Roberts lying on the floor OF
the car in a semi-conscious condition
and the contents of the rihed safe
scattered about the car. Roberts was
so seriously wounded thai he was un-
able to tell how the robbery occurred,
except to say that he had discovered
some one on the blind baggage short
" after the train left Needles and had
started to open the door when the
man, whom he took to be negro,
sprang inside. Before the messenger
could draw his revolver the bandit
opened fire, wounding Roberts mortal
". The bullet struck Roberts in the
left breast, passing through his body.
Roberts fell to the floor and the rob-
Der Immediately went to the open safe
and took what he wanted of the con-
tents. He then opened the door and
Jumped out. Roberts was so badly
hurt that he was unable to make an
outcry.
The bolt on the door at the end OF
the express car was broken, showing
that the robber had used force in gain
ing entrance.
The interior Of the car indicated
that the messenger had made game
resistance and grappled with the rob-
Der before being overpowered and
finally shot by him.
After rifling the safe the robber
Ieaped from the car while the. train
was running at full speed.

congratulations, while others received
the sincere regrets of colleagues, who
on account of their misfortune at the
POLLS were meeting together for possi-
bly, the .ast time The republicans,
fresh from their recent victory, gath
erei in groups and talked over the
late cam paign, while their democratic
brethren gave no outward sign Of hav-
ing suffered defeat. Men g both par
ties freely intermingled and discussed
the issues Of the last election and its
results, the democrats good naturedly
taking the thrusts and gibes heaped
upon them in friendly conversation by
their victorious opponents. Good fel-
lowship prevailed throughout.
IN THE SENATE.
The senate convened promptly at
noon. The first senator in his seat
was Mr.. Platt, Of New York. Long
before IL o'clock the galleries were
filled, but the buzz of conversation
ceased abruptly when President Pro
TEN Frye's gaven fell.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D.,
chaplain of the senate, offered prayer.
Two seats had been vacated by death
those of Senator Hoar, Of Massachu-
setts, and Quay, Of Pennsylvania.
Many eyes were turned sorrowfully to-
ward the desks so long occupied by
these men, who had grown old in the
public service. Their successors, Sen
ators-elect Crane, Of Massachusetts,
and Knox, of Pennsylvania, attended
the session, but they will not occupy
the seats assigned them until they are
formally sworn in.
The floral decorations were equal to
those Of any session in the history Of
the senate. Many desks were over.
flowing with the offerings, and the sen.
ate force was occupied from II until
12 o'clock in arranging them so sena'
tors could take their seats. The larg-
est single tribute was placed on the
desk of Senator Tillman, of South Car.
olina.
When Senator Fairbanks, the vice
president-eIect entered the chamber he
was greeted warmly by many Of his
colleagues. The visitors applauded
his entrance with cheers and hand
clapping.
After prayer the roll was called and
seventy-three senators responded.
Then the flowers were removed and
the routine business of the session
opened. At 1918 the body adjourned,
having been in session just thirteen
minutes.
This will be the short session of the
fifty-eighth congress and a notably in
teresting one, for with the Inaugural
ton of President Roosevelt the session
will go out in blaze Of glory. Only
once in four years does congress have
an opportunity to wind up its affairs
under the historic conditions which
will prevail next March.
