The Great Northern Express Com

Seattle, Wash. Oct 4.--The Great
Northern overland train leaving
Seattle Monday night was held up
and the baggage and express car dy-
namited about five miles from Bal
lard. 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 passengers. They were cap
tured. They say two or the men
were on the blind baggage when they
got on and the third got on at Bal
lard. All were we'll dressed, with
raincoats and SLOUGH hats. SO far
as reported no one was killed, but
Charles Anderson, express mesYen-
ger, was slightly injured. Manager
Warning OF the Great Northern Ex-
press company said last night he did
not know the contents or the safe,
but believes it was a small sum.
After securing the contents of tha
safe the three men started off in an
easterly direction.
The train was tagged near the
brickyard, and as the engineers
slowed up two men with raincOats
climbed up the tender and presented
revolvers to his head. When the
train stopped the engineer was in.
to pull ahead, which he did
for several hundred yards, when he
was again commanded to pull up.
making the engineer and fireman do
the same, and all marched to the
baggage car door. The messenger
was commanded to open the door,
and, refusing, an extra heavy charge
Of dynamite was placed against it
and exploded. The explosion tore the
car almost to pieces. The safe was
then dynamited. The train was de-
layed two hours and half and then
pulled into Edmonds, making a brief
report before proceeding to Everett.
The two boys claim Jney never met
the holdups until they got on the
train and are in no way connected
with their work The idea to hold
up the passengers occurred to them
after the explosion. Sheriff Smith
has started out with a posse.

DIGS Up 4 POT
CONTAINING GOLD

Des Moines, Oct. Am iron pot
containing coins of gold and silver.
equal in value to $500 or $500 vas TN
earthed by George Brown upon his
rented land in Hyde Park. The coins
were all dated before 1860 and 1t is
presumed that they were buried in
the ground ror safe keeping by some
farmer who, responded to the call for
volunteers during the civil war and
never returned to dig up his treas
ure.
Il was cutting down the corn with
my knife" said Mr.. Brown in telling
of his find. "and my knife blade
struck something hard and metallic.
examined the blade to see If there
were any hicks in it and then ! saw
where the point had struck what
seemed a steel plate. | dug the earth
away and lifted up q small iron cask-
ct about half a foot square and three
inches high. TO my surprise upon
opening it | saw shining gold and sill.
yer coins at once went to the house.
where my wife and counted the
buried treasure. There were nearly
$500 of it, found the pot just at the
foot of one of the corn stalks and ]
suppose that 1t had been buried there
long while. The constant blowing
and raking over the land had worn
away the ground over It and I hap
pened to come along just in time
to dig It out"
