Many changes have been made in
penitentiary since the last session Of
the legislature, all of which have been
conducive to bettering the condition
of the inmates without any relaxation
in the discipline. Prior TO the com
pletion of a common dining hall the
prisoners were fed in their cells, and
those who could afford IL were per
mitted to have coal oil stoves and 20
cook whatsoever they could afford 10
buy in addition 10 the prison regimen.
With the installation of a new super
intendent this system has been entire
ly abolished, and all prisoners eat in
a large dining room, partake Of the
same prison fare and receive the same
treatment Tho result has been that
the cells are cleaner and the general
health and discipline better than ever
before. F1ogging has been entirely
abolished, and other punishments less
brutal installed without in the least
disturbing, but on the contrary
strengthening, the respect Of the Pris-

BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN
Express Car on the Great Northern
Blown to Pieces.
POSSE SURROUNDS THE THIEVES

Scene Of the Robbery Only Ten Miles
From seattle-Professional Despera-
does Got One thousand Dollars-Two
Boys Captured After Attempt to Rob
Passengers-E1pres Safe Looted.
Seattle, Wash.-The eastbound Great
Northern passenger train leaving Seat
tie at s o'clock at night was held up
by a gang of bandits ten miles from
this city. The express car was blown
to pieces by three charges OF dyna-
mite.
The train was tagged near a brick
yard and as the engineer slowed up two
men in rancoats climbed over the ten
der and presented revolvers at his
head.
When the train stopped the baggage
and express car was uncoupled by 4
third robber and the engineer was in-
structed to pull ahead, which he did
for several hundred yards, when he
was again commanded to stop. Two
of the robbers then jumped off, max
ing the engineer and fireman do the
sane, and all marched to the baggage
car door.
The express messenger was COM
manded to open the door, and on his
refusal to do so a charge of dynamite
was placed against it and exploded.
The explosion tore the car almost to
pieces. The safe was then blown open.
After securing the contents of the
safe the three men started OF III an
easterly direction.
News of the hold-up reached here by
q telephone message sent from resi-
dence at Spring Beach. a trackwalker
who escaped from the scene declared
that a number of persons had been
killed and wounded in the melee.
Details of the hold-up were received
here.
Meanwhile two boys who had been
riding on the blind baggage slipped of
and went through the train, attempt
ing to hold up the passengers. They
had no guns, but took advantage of the
timidity of the passengers while the
shooting, which injured no one, was
going on outside. They were captured
by trainhands. The boys, who gave
their names as Frank Alfred and Rol-
and Gibbs, are now in Jail at Everett
They said they had no connection with
the other robbers and that the idea
Of holding up the passengers only oc-
Cured to them after the explosion.
Two of the bandits were on the blind
baggage when they got on, they ex-
planned, and the third man boarded the
train at Ballard.
A reward of $4,000 was offered by the
Great Northern Express Company for
the capture and Identification of the
robbers.
The Sheriff and his deputies found
an abandoned horse and wagon a mile
and half north of the scene Of the
hold-up. The horse showed evidences
of having been driven hard. The offi1
GERS believe this is an outfit reported
as having been stolen near Kent, twen-
ty miles from Mile Post.
Deputy Sheriff Scott said that, so far
as known, only about $1,000 was taken
from the safe
