BOLD BANDITS HOLD
 UP OREGON TRAIN
EXPRESS MESSENGER IS KILLED, THE SAFE IS DYNAMlTED AND THE ROBBERS GET AWAY IN SAFETY.

Sacramento. Cal, April 1.--Three mask ed men have held up the Oregon express. south bound, on the Southern Pacific railroad at Copley, near Kesw1g, killed w. J. ONeil, the express messenger, and carried off the contents of the express box. The train stopped at Copley, small station, for water, when three men jump ed on and cut the train in two taking the engine and express car down the track a short distance. They stopped the engine and demanded that Messenger O'Neil open the express car.
 He refused, whereupon they blew up the car with dynamite and deliberately killed O'Neil by shooting him through the head. The bandits then robbed the car of It's contents, but it Is not known how much they obtained
 After robbing the express car the men cut the car loose and getting on the en- zine compelled the engineer, Joe Link. to go ahead, when near Keswig, the men dropped off the engine and disappeared.
 Conductor Panger of the Oregon ex- press said today:
 "When the robbers reached the engine they ordered all the men on the locomotive to get down on the ground and line up, and the men did so The robbers marched back to the baggage car and made all get in with the exception of the two en- Sineers, whom they took back toward the express car. They ordered Engineer Bris- sel to knock on the express car door, and as he did so, one of the men said: Open the car Messenger O'Neil, evidently thinking we were having row with some tramps, opened the door to look and was shot dead He had no chance for his life at all.
 .The fact that the robbers obtained rothing for their work was because they put too much of the explosive in the safe. When the dynamite went off 1t tore away the top and side of the car and in con- sequence the money in the safe was scat tered far and wide"

 coming.

Fort Deposit, April 1.-(Special)-It is doubtful Is the Hon. J. Thomas Hehin, who Is asking for the democratic nomina- ton for congress in the Fifth district, will receive a more cordial welcome at any town in the district than was accord ed him here last night. This is the home of one of his opponents. the Rev. Sydney J. Catts, but the reception rendered MT. Hefin would indicate that under the sys- tenn of primaries the people feel free to vote for whom they please to represent them In public of1ce-regarding no boun- dary lines of counties or even precincts. MT. Catts is not unpopular in his home town, but there are many citizens here who openly declare against the policy of taking a good man out of the pulpit to place him in politics.
 MT. Heflin visited several points in Lowndes yesterday and at each point he received very encouraging proffers of support. At Hayneville he met citizens from different parts of the county who were there to attend a meeting of the executive committee. While MT. Heflin does not anticipate majority of all the votes cast in the county, some of his more enthusiastic friends in the county say that such a result will mot be sur- priSing

Greeted by Large Crowd.


 ium here tonight he was greeted by a large crowd, probably half of whom were ladies. Less than days notice of the speaking had been given, but the speak CT had been here on a former occasion, and he was well remembered Prof. w. w. Benson presided and introduced MT. Hef1in, who had been his college mate
 He covered most of the ground made in his usual speeches. but departed long enough to make special reference to his local opponent It was keen trimming of MT. Catts that caused most applause from the audience. The speaker seemed just naturally again the ruination uv a good preacher by taking him from his pulpit and putin uv him in congress" Sup poce," he said. that some church within the district should give Brother Catts a call and committee was sent to notify him of same When they found him he would say, get thee behind me men; have not the time to consider you-Tm m on my way to congress-. But ladies and gentlemen, I am too good a friend of yours to let this condition arise; I have come down here tonight to let you know that there is no fear-I am going to leave him with you. where he can be in easy reach"
 Hefln Tells Story. A lnis lttle tnruSt was met by hearty applause, and 1t urged the speaker on to relate a conversation with a good old countryman from one of the white coun- ties of the district. This old brother was discussing the political situation in the Fifth district when he said. Squire. you know its a mighty good sign for Chris tianity when you see a doctor lay aside his saddle bags and go to the ministry and when we see one of you lawyers lay ell lo Lao1 lola ministry it sho' is a good sign, but when you see preacher close his church and shut up his Bible after sixteen years or more of preachin' and go into politics it's a mighty bad sign; and. sir I'm just naturally agin' him." This again led the audience into a hearty outburst of ap- plause.
 The speaker also told a good story at the expense of the Methodist church to illus trate the point, saying that he could at- ford to say anything he pleased about the Methodist church and the Democratic party as he was member In good stand ing of both.
 Nothing But kindest Words. Mir. Hefin had nothing but the kindest words for each of his five opponents, and after stating his position on public ques- tions as has heretofore been printed, he asked his hearers to carefully consider the claims and qualifications of each and in an unprejudiced way. without regard to county or precinct, vote for the man of their choice. After beautiful tri- bute to the women, of whom there were many In the audience. MT. Hef1in said that on the 9th day of April he would be 35 years old. but that he would be per- fectly willing to postpone the celebration of this anniversary until the 11th day of April if the voters of the district would | merely honor him with a birthday gift of the nomination to congress. When the speech was concluded the speaker held a reception for several minutes, receiving congratulations and many assurances of support.
