TRAIN WAS HELD UP
EXPRESS CAR DYNAMITEO
Two Boys Take a Hand In the Rob
bling Of Passengers and Are Cap
tured, but Declared They Did
Not Know the Robbers.

Seattle. wash.--The Great North
ern Overland train leaving Seattle at
$500 o'clock Monday night was held
up and the baggage and express car
dynamited half mile east OF Mile
Post TO- about Ave miles from Ballard.
ut s:45 p. m.
Three men are known to have done
the work. Two boys, who got on the
blind baggage here. as soon as the
holdup began, entered the passenger
coaches and began holding up the pas
sengers. They we're captured. They
say two of the men we're on the blind
baggage when they got on, and the
third got on at Ballard. All were well
dressed, with rain coats and SLOUGH
hats.
The train was tagged near the
brickyard and as the engineer slowed
up two men with rain coats climbed
over the tender and presented revolt
vers to his head. When the train
stopped the baggage and express car
was uncoupled by one of the robbers
and the engineer instructed to pull
ahead, which he did for several hun.
bred yards, when he was again COM
manded to stop.
Two of the robbers then jumped OFF,
making the engineer and fireman do
the same, and all marched to the bag
gage car door. The messenger was
commanded to open the door. and, re-
fusing, an extra heavy charge of dy'
Mantle was placed against II and ex'
ploded. The explosion tore the car
almost to pieces. The safe was then
| dynamited
After securing the contents OF the
safe the three men started of in an
easterly direction. II is believed other
members of the gang were ahead OF
the scene OF the holdup and the rob
| bers joined them.
The two boys claim they never met
the holdups until they got on the
! train, and are in no way connected
with their work. The idea TO hold M
the passengers occurred TO them after
the explosion.

MACEDONIANS
WITHOUT HOPE
Horrible Scenes Daily Enacted
Under the Eyes of the
Officials.
Wanton Slaughter Of Christians by
Turkish Troopers Who Murder
Women and Children as Well as
tie Heads Of Households.

London.--w. A. Moore, secretary OF
the Balkan committee, who has re-
turned from a two months tour OF
Macedonia, said in an interview on
Sunday:
THE wsnton slaughter OF Chris
tians in Macedonia continues under
the eyes of Europe's representatives.
Crossing the Bulgarian border the
FIRST news to greet me was an unpar-
donable massacre in the little village
OF Konopnitz, which occurred three
days before my arrival. On visiting
the village l found the bodies Of a
man, two women, girl and the chill
dren still unburied and laid out in the
Christian church. The women had
been shot, but saw one child which
had been crushed, probably with the
butt OF a gun.
THE wounded had been taken to
Egri Palanka, an hours ride distant
and where resides the Austrian officer
in charge OF the district.
THE story of the affair is a repeti-
ton OF the oft-told tale. An insur-
gent band visited the village and de-
manded food on departing. The Turk
ish authorities, learning OF the visit,
dispatched body of troops, which,
discovering no insurgents in the
place. dealt out their vengeance on
the Christians. The observation OF
the European officers seldom deters
the Mohammedans from staying
Christians. The Austrian officer at
Kounmanova district has charge OF
119 villages, where murders are OF
daily occurrence and are not noticed
by the authorities. In the Monastir
district the Italian officers sleep with
the Turkish arms In order to observe
its methods OF 'suppressing insur-
gents This, however, only prevents
special detachments from perpetrat-
Ing crime.
Mr.. Moore says the country is still
swarming with Asiatio troops. which
have not been removed since the
mobilization against Bulayia in 1908.
