Hold Up Train, Rob Mail
Gar and Get Away.
Fireman's Presence Of Mind
Saves the Express Gar.
Robbers Take Possession Of Engine
And Use II to Escape.

Spokane. Wash. Dec. 10.-Three men
held up Great Northern Train No. 4 a
mile and a half east of Hillyard, this
state, at an early hour this morning.
and robbed the mail car and made their
escape. Only the presence of mild Of
w. Perrin, the fireman, prevented the
looting of the express car, which car
ried a large amount Of money, includ-
ing $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 a mile
from the station. The engineman obey
ed ard when the train had come to a
standstill the bandits forced the en-
gineer and fireman to leave the cab.
While two of the robbers stood guard
ever the engineer, the other took Fire
man 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
the express car which contained the
desired booty was third i'll the train.
Perrin saw this mistake and quickly
taking advantage of it in spite of the
mcnacing revolver at his head, cut
the mail and baggage cars away, leav-
ing the express attached to the dead
train.
The robbers then left the engineer
and fireman with the train and board
it several miles east, whtre they
brought it to stop rifled the mail
car, then again boarded the engine, un-
coupling it from the cars which they
loft on the track and proceeded three
miles to Mead. There a rig was waiting
for them and they made their escape.
Mead is only 10 miles from Spokane
and it is supposed that the bandits
were on their way to Spokane. The
amount of their booty is unknown.

MOORE'S SCHOOL REUNION.
SCHOOL REUNION GREAT SUCCESS.
INTERESTING SKETCH READ BY CYRUS VAN polaH

The Moore's School reunion which
was held Saturday, August first was at
tended by over three hundred people
Addresses were made by Prof f. Il.
Bush, OF Stockton, Rev. Amos Haines,
of Juniatta College, Huntington, Pa,
Judge Comet and County Superlnten-
dent Hoffman, of Pennington and
Hon. A l.. Lawshe, Third Assistant
Post Master General Among those
who were present were three former
pupils OF the school, Lorenzo Brewer,
John Fisher, and his sister, Alice A..
Mathews, all of whom are over eighty
five years OF age The following sketch
of the school WAS read by Cyrus Van
Dolah:
Daniel Moore was born in l72a ON the farm
now occupied by Frank and Emma Wagner.
The old family Bible records twenty children.
With 80 many little Moores constantly rum
ming about, ii is not to be wondered at that
Daniel felt the need OF II school house handy
by or that he became the prime mover in es-
tablishing what has ever since been known AS
the Moores School
Just when the first house was built cannot
now be ascertaned Ii was frame building
twenty feet by twenty, and stood about 400
yards east of Daniel Moore's residence, on the
road to Rngoes Here il remained until 1910,

was applied; not II traction engine or any
thing of that kind, but Just plain oxen, those
faithful servants of the od-t time farmer now
unfortunately out-of-date. Slowly, steadily
along the highway, went the old school
honse, no doubt frightening horses as badly
as scorehing automobile does at this day,
but scarcely furnishing as much danger of
being run over. After II Journey of three
quarters of a mile, taking something over two
days, ii was safely placed on its new founda-

There it stood the school for all the neigh
borhood, until the present building was
erected in 1864. The name of the first teach
er in the old house is unfortunately lost, as
are the names of those who followed him for
many wears.
The name of the first teacher of whom we
have positive knowledge was James Ritten-
house, who taught in 1877 or ~. The follow
ing is an imperfect list, made up of those who
are known to have taught the school at some
time during the past eighty years:
