passengers in the cars which stayed

however that the frightened crowd
could not be restrained.

the minister of public works the rescue
work was renewed today. Farmers
with boats are assisting the railroad

The robbers were passengers on
the train. Shortly after leaving Muir

with their faces covered with masks
and revolvers in each hand, and COW
cred the passengers. Then the leader
ordered everybody to keep still and
not resist, else they would be shot.
Two men went down the aisle with
hats in hand. while the third kept the
passengers covered. All the pas

pocket-books into the hats, and this
was done. The conductor appeared In

and forced to drop his revolver.
After getting all the money ia the
car the robbers jumped from the train,

locked, and the attempt twas unsue-
cessful. The search and pursuit are

wlFEis sNEERING COMMENT MET
WITH SHARP ANSWER.\

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner
of the American Booksellers associa'
tion of New York said: Il once knew
San Franciscan who married a girl
TO rher money. She was not a pretty
girl, and as time passed and love
cooled, she developed rather tart
tongue.
Zone day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance a 2O-horse'
power automobile. He took the car
home gayly and brought his wife out
to the front door to look ut 1t. She
gave one sneering glance, and then
said:

money you wouldn't be here your

being allowed to enter the navy,
though permission was offered to re-
main ON the Exmouth till he reached
