The sensational incident created a

been carried on by wholesale for some
time. Men in the neighborhood have
formed a company and six heavily
armed men will guard the cemetery
every night. They say they will shoot
to kill when any suspicious person en-

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe over
land passenger train No. !. west
bound, yesterday. between Needles
and Daggett, Evan o. Roberts, the
express messenger was shot and fatal
ly wounded and the way safe rifled.
The Wells-Fargo company was ex-
pecting 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 at Barstow placed sub
stitute messenger on board the car
with orders to guard everything in it
with the greatest secrecy.
1t has not been stated that the mon
ey was not on the train and officials
refused TO discuss the reported Ship
ment in any way, declaring that the
robbers secured only s400. The ship
ment, if sent, would have been in the
main safe. Ii is not certain, however,
that this safe was not entered, as the
robber rified the pockets of the mes
senger as he lay on the floor of the
car and took away his keys to the two
safes. 1t is also reported that more
than one man was concerned in the
holdup.

til the train reached Daggett. at which
place Conductor Hawes opened the
door of the express car and found

An investigation which has already
developed some mysterious and sensa-

II is likely that as soon as necessary
legal steps can be taken the grave

known that the grave has not been
disturbed within the last few weeks,
and this adds to the mystery.
