GREAT NORTHERN
TRAIN HELD UP
Action Of Fireman Prevents Loot
Ing Of Express Gar.

Spokane. Wash, Dec. 11.-Three
men held up westbound Great North
ern train No. mile and half east
of Hillyard, this state, robbed the
mail car and made their escape. Only
the presence of mind of w. Perrin,
the fireman, prevented the looting OF
the express car, which carried large
amount of money, including $4,000
consigned from a Spokane bank to a
Montana town.
The train had slowed down in the
yard .at Hillyard when three men, all
armed with revolvers, crawled over
the tender and, covering the engineer
and fireman, ordered the train to be
brought to a stop little over mile
from the station. The enginemen
obeyed and when the train had come
to standstill the bandits forced the
engineer and fireman to leave the
cab While two of the robbers stood
guard over the engineer the other
took Fireman Perrin back to uncouple
the mail and express cars from the
rest of the train.
In the darkness the bandit failed to
note that the first car was the mail,
while the second was the baggage,
and that the express car, which con-
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
baggage cars, leaving the express car
attached to the dead train.
The robbers then left the engineer
and fireman with the train and board
ed the locomotive and themselves ran
It several miles east, where they
brought it to stop, rifed the mail
car, then again boarded the engine,
uncoupling 1t from the cars, and pro-
ceeded three miles to Mead. There a
rig was awaiting them and they made
their escape.

TRAIN DITCHED BUT
NO DEATHS Result
Wreck on Northern Pacific at
Mckenzie, n. D.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE
wreck of the westbound North Coast
limited at Mckenzie twenty miles
east of here, may be considered one
of the most lucky in the annals OF
railroading, according to railroad
men. The fact that almost an entire
train, going at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, containing more than 20G
people, could turn over down ten
foot embankment without killing any
body is marvellous.
The train struck broken rail. The
engine got over safely, but the tender
went off the track, followed by the
baggage and mail car. Then the
coupling broke and the three day
coaches, two sleepers and the obser
walton car went down an embank
ment into deep snowdrift and turned
over without breaking coupling
The hard packed snow saved the trair
from demolition. Half a dozen per
sons were quite severely injured ant
many others sustained cuts ant
bruises.

Nuggets from Success Magazine"
Make it life rule never to be
disturbed or thrown off your bal
ance by anything that can happen.
The hardest thing about getting
along with disagreeable people is
that you cannot let them know
what you really think of them.
What is God? God is that All,
that Infinite All, of which | am
conscious of being part, and there
fore all in me is comprised by God,
and | feel Him in everything"
Do not 60 through life doing little
things painfully when you were
made to do great things grandly,
happily.
Never allow yourself to live for
anything less than your highest
ideal. If you do, you will deterior-
ate.
1t is wicked for us to 60 about
with faces which indicate that life
has been a disappointment to us
instead of a glorious joy. 1t shows
that we have missed the real object
of living; that we have never caught
a glimpse of the realities of life, but
that we are living in the shadows,
in the gloom instead of the sun
shine of realty, of truth, of beauty
1t indicates that we have not even
caught a glimpse of the real glory
of life.
Multitudes of men and women
would be sick in bed if they could
afford it; but the hungry mouths tC
feed, the children to clothe, these
and all the other obligations of life
so press upon them that they can
not stop working. They must keel
going whether they feel like it o.
not.
Never allow yourself to thinl
about or to speak of that which
you do not wish to become true
