right before the furnace door, at the

The first thought that struck me was
that it was somebody | knew playing
a joke on me, so in fun | grabbed
hold of him and we began to struggle.

his knee and holding it there before |

cold steel of the barrel and then for
the first time | began to realize that

not have time for much thinking,
though, for the big fellow, who had
been covering my fireman leaned over
and, showing the muzzle of his
gun against my forehead, said, with
an oath: Leave him alone and get
up there on your seat, or I'll blow
your head off,. Later, when we had
got under way, the little fellow said:
Now if you fellows do what you are
told everything will be alright. If you
don't obey, we will blow you to

to get down from the cab with him

note that the first car was the mail
car. while the second was the baggage

tanned the desired booty, was third in
the train. Perrin saw his mistake and |
quickly taking advantage of it in spite
of the menacing revolver held close to
his head, cut off the mail and bag
gage cars, leaving the express car
attached to the dead train.
The robbers then left the engineer
and fireman with the train and board

brought it to stop, rifed the mail
car, then again boarded the engine.
