east OF Sanderson by four white men.
The door of the baggage car was blown
open with dynamite, the robbers mis-
taking this for the express car.
The engine was stopped by volley
of shots fired into the cab. The fire.
man and engineer were taken off the
engine and escorted to the second class
coach, and the robbers ran the train
ahead about a half mile, when they
blew open the baggage car. The train
conductor went forward, but was fired
on and driven back to the coaches.
Conductor Peck, who was deadhead-
ing over the line, called for firearms
and volunteers.
N. H. Harrison, claim agent of the
road; III. b. Mccain, travelling auditor,
and j. c. Williamson, travelling freight
agent, responded, and the four went
forward, opened fire and drove the rob-
bers off.
Coductor Peck took the throttle and
ran the train four miles down the road.
The robbers secured no booty, and
