After they had knocked their

robbers looted the strong box while
the train was running through the
tunnel. and probably left the ex-
press car near the north end Of
the tunnel as all the trains slow
down considerably when emerging
from the hole.

is the opinion OF those who have
investigated the crime.
Freight Agent Thomas II. Deg.

this morning tina, II lie his opinion
that the robbers were well inform

Degaan says Il is rule of the
Great Northern that all express
cars shall remain locked from the
