can it be disputed that the press also
furnishes an easily digestible intel

speaks with specialists authority,

many man has been saved from

TRAIN is HELD UP
ON DENVER & RIO GRANDE ROAD
NEAR LEADvILLE.
PASSENGERS NOT MOLEsTED

Two Men Stop Train Near LeadviIIe
Junction-Force Engineer to De-
tach Express car-Eseape After
Failing to Open Safe.
Leadville. Colo.-A daring attempt
was made about 8 o'clock Tuesday
night by two masked men TO hold up
the second section of Rio Grande pas
senger train No. 5, otherwise known as
the Pacific express, just west of Lead
vile Junction, about four mills from
this city.
That the robbery was not successful
was due mainly to the fact that the
holdups were novices in the art and
that their plans miscarried. They
failed to blow open the safe and are
said to have secured only about $50.
The second section left Salida in
charge of Conductor Conway. Engi-
neer William Campbell and Fireman
| Thomas Brown, and was about three
hours late when Leadville Junction
| was reached. A short distance west of
the station two masked men climbed
over the tender and with drawn revol-
vers ordered the engineer to stop the
train. While one of the robbers re
mained with the engineer, the other,
at the point of his revolver, made the
| fireman go back and uncouple the ex-
press car. They then jumped aboard
the engine and ordered the engineer to
| go ahead.
| The express car was run to keeldar,
| a small flag station about three miles
| distant. At Keeldar a freight train
was standing on the siding. Conduc-
tor Powers of the freight took in the
situation at glance and being an op-
orator. notified the train dispatcher at
Salida. A mile west of Keeldar the
engine was again stopped and the en-
gineer and fireman were compelled TO
go back to the express car and order
the messenger to open the door. He
as first refused to do so. but the rob,
bers treatened to shoot both the engl-
neer and firemen II he didn't open 1t.
Upon obtaining entrance to the ex-
| press car, the robbers demanded OF
| the messenger to open the safe. He
| told them he couldn't do so, for he did
not have the key. They then at
tempted to blow the safe open with
dynamite, but the '.ttempt was fail
ure.
BY this time the holdups were get
ting quite nervous and after securing
what they could, they jumped off the
car and disappeared in the noun
tains.
Conductor Conway of No. S had
meantime notified S. M. Brown, the
Leadville agent of the Rio Grande. and
he in turn notified the Leadville au-
thorities.
Sheriff O'Mahoney at once gathered
posse of ten men, half Of whom went
on special to the scene, the rest 60
ing on horseback.
One of the two holdups weighed
about It's pounds and the other about
165, judging from the description fur
nished of them. Both were about five
| feet six or seven inches tall. Neither
wore an overcoat and both wore dark
clothes. Both were smooth shaven,
one being apparently about forty
years of age, and the other about
thirty. They are supposed to be for
eigners, one of them apparently Mex
| lean.
The posse is still out looking for the
holdups, although nothing has been
heard since their departure.

Ammonia
Ice Works Engineer
Meets With Odd
Accident.

Through the bursting of an ammonia
pipe in the Markham ice works in Ke-
walo shortly after noon yesterday, the
engineer in charge was badly burned
about the arms and face. The en-
gineer stuck to his post, however, and
refused to go to the hospital Or any
where for medical treatment until he
had stopped the flow of ammonia from
a pipe.
A plug was being attended to by the
engineer when the accident occurred.
The stuff flew out with considerable
force and streamed over the mans
hands and sprinkled his face, but his
eyes We're not touched.
Kewalo was filled with a pungent
odor for some time after the accident.
