?. TABOR ARRESTED CHARGED WITH THE ROBBERY OF COTTON BELT TRAIN AT
 REDW ATER. Officers Claim Strong Evidence Against Tabor. Who Had Large
 Sum oi Mone,.

l ltNdikdlld, Ice. --.--1. r.. dDOI d former Cotton Belt railroad conductor, was arrested yesterday at San .AntO- nio, Tex, on warrant sworn out here last night charging him with robbing the Pacific Express compa- l ny's car and murderously assaulting Express Messenger Grissette in the robbery of a Cotton Belt train near Redwater, 12 miles south oI TeXar- kama. on the night of December 1.
 Grissette was struck two blows, which fractured his skull, and was then hurled from the car to the ground, where he was discovered and picked up In an unconscious condi- conscious for week, and when he regained his normal mental condition he was unable to say who had struck him. The last he remembered he was I bending over his work in the car The blow came from behind and he never saw his assailant.
  is alleged Tabor had asked permis- sion to ride in the messengers car to TeXarkana from a point 50 miles south of the scene of the robbery, saying he had no money, but his re- iquest was refused. He was seen twice !afterward stealing his way on the blind baggage" Of the train, the last time near Redwater. He was put off the train in both instances. The train porter as well as Grissette makes this statement.
 1 Suspicion was first directed to Tabor two days after the robbery by the sheriff of Mcclellan county, Tex, who had ascertained that Tabor had been beating his way from Waco to TeXarkana and back on Cotton Belt trains for ten days or two weeks with out any apparent reason.
 Had $3,S9O on His Person. ! The fact that Tabor had $3 800 on his person when arrested today is re- gal,,et as a strong point against him, as it has been officially stated that the amount stolen was only few hum dred dollars in excess of this sum. It l is known that Tabor came to TeXar- kama on the train that was robbed and spent the night in an out-of-the- way boarding house on the Texas side, where he remained for five days.
 The officers declare that they have other very strong evidence against Tabor. the nature of which they re- fuse to give out at present. They eX- press confidence that they have the right man.
 Sheriff Rochelle and Special Agent Early Of the Pacific Express company left on the Texas and Pacific fast mail train this afternoon for San Antonio and are expected to return here with their prisoner Sunday morning. Tabor is 40 years old, and his record for the past 9 years is in possession of the authorities He is said to have a wife and daughter at Belton, Tex, from whom he has been living apart for several years.
