which he did for several hundred yards,
when he was again commanded 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 it and ex-
ploded. The explosion tore the car al
most to pieces. The safe was then dy-
namited, the first explosion being Of
six sticks, the second of twelve and
the third of eighteen
While the robbers were engaged on
the safe the two boys slipped away
and went through the train, attempting
to hold up the passengers. They had
no revolvers, but took advantage Of
the timidity of the passengers while
the shooting was going on outside to
get something out of them.
The boys gave their names as Frank
Alfred and Roland Gibbs and were
taken to jail at Everett. A passenger
on the train said their methods while
going through the coaches were more
like those of beggars than bandits.
Sheriff Smith started in pursuit Of
the outlaws with a hastily organized

THE EXPRESS
Bandits Compelled Engineer TO
Stop Train and Then
DYnasnifed SGfe.

Using dynamite after a daring hold
UP of the Great Northern overland
train in the suburbs of Seattle, Wash,
seven bandits secured the entire con-
car and then fed eastward, says dis
patch to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The train proceeded on it's way, and
only meager accounts of the holdup
were received. One report said that
Charles Anderson, the express mes
senger, was slightly wounded. While
at work the robbers kept up continu-
GUS fusillade from revolvers to intimi-
date passengers and train crew.
An odd incident connected with the
holdup was the simultaneous effort of
two boys to rob the passengers during
the excitement. They were easily cap
tured and at once disclaimed any
completely with the bandits, saying
they decided upon their holdup only
after the train was stopped by the real
outlaws.
The amount Of booty obtained was
not known. Manager Warning of the
Great Northern Express company pro-
fessed ignorance on this question, but
said he believed the safe contained
only small sum. Elsewhere, howev-
er, it was asserted that the booty
amounted to thousands Of dollars. The
local safe was not molested.
First dispatches asserted only three
men took part in the holdup, but Con-
ductor Grants report showed at least
seven men were engaged. The con-
ductor believed there were other men
farther down the track, but they did
not take any part, possibly because
the train stopped too soon, and then
help was not needed.
The train left Seattle at 500 p. m.
The scene of the holdup was ten
miles distant, half mile east of mile
post 10. 1t was II o'clock before the
train pulled into Edmonds and report
ed the robbery.
The boys said two men were on the
blind baggage when they themselves
got on, and third got on at Ballard.
All were well dressed, with rain coats
and SLOUGH hats. The train was tagged
near a brickyard. AS the engineer
slowed up two men climbed over the
tender and presented revolvers to his
head. When the train stopped the
baggage and express car were I'M
coupled by one of the robbers and the
engineer instructed to pull ahead,

TO ATTACK. THE
PULLMAN CHARGE 5
Wisconsin Rate Commission VIII Test
the Validity o. the New Rail-
way Law.

Milwaukee, Wis, Get. 28.-One OF
the first moves planned by the state
railway commission is an attempt 10
regulate the charges on Pullman cars
in Wisconsin. Complaint has been
made to the commission that the
charges are unfair. and it is said that
this will be made the case to test the
validity of the rate measure.
The Pullman company, it is be-
lieved. will set up the claim that it
does only an interstate business, ana
that as it has no offices in Wisconsin,
the commission has no authority over
it. Hence the company will pay no
attention to the notices sent by order
Of the commission, and 1t will be up
to thN commission to enforce its man
dates.
