ROBBED AND
WRECKED TRAIN
Bandits Hold Up Great Northern
Fast Mail.
COLLISION FOLLOWS ROBBERY

Six Men Detached Mail Car and Ran
1t Down the Track-After Looting
the Registered Mail They Sent the
Locomotive and Car Crashing Back
Into the Passenger Coaches, Injuring
Twelve Persons.
Spokane, Wash, May 17.-Following
the hold-up of a Great Northern fast
mail train by six bandits between Col
bert and Mead. twelve persons were in
jured when the locomotive and the
mail car, cut off from the rest of the
train, ran back wild after the bandits
had rihed the mails of an unknown
amount, and cOllided with the rest of
the train, which had been left stand
ing where the bandits gos possession
of the train. Having taken the de-
tached mail car down the track con-
siderable distance, the robbers looted
the registered mail and, reversing the
engine, sent the locomotive and the
mail car crashing back into the pas
senger coaches.
The conductor saw the wild cars
backing down the track twenty-five
miles an hour, and he and another
trainman placed tie on the track to
stop their flight, but the cars, though
partly stopped by this means, plunged
into the coaches, throwing passengers
from their seats, cutting them with
glass from broken windows. A train
man nerved to the task sprung aboard
the locomotive as the collision oc-
Cured and shut off the steam, stopping
the havoc.
When the train reached Colbert
some switching had to be done. While
the engine crew was busy at this work
two men sprang into the cab and,
thrusting a revolver against the bodies
of Engineer William Miller and Fire
man John Hall, ordered them to do as
commanded. The engineer and the
fireman complied, and the mail cars
we're cut off from the rest of the train
by four other robbers. The locomotive
and the mail cars then ran up the
track a few miles.
While it is reported that the ban
dts obtained a large sum of money
from the registered mail, the amount
being placed at $4,000, railroad off.
GERS and mail inspectors say the sum
stolen is not known.

The Truth About Santa Claus.

| write myself down rs one who still
believes in Santa Claus. Don't you?
Are you one OF those very literal folk
who have their doubts whether they
ought TO let their children cling to the
beautiful old myth?
Without Imagination. without dreams,
without poetry, this old world of ours
would be a very wearisome place. Its
road would be sleeper than ii is-much
like sleighing over bare ground would
our progress be as compared with
sleighing over deep. hard packed snow.
The poetic myth of the old saint.
with his reindeer and his Jingling bells
and his bullying pack of toys and bon
bons. has charmed thousand genera
tons. The stocking hung by the Chin
ney on Christmas eve. the children
staying awake until sleep pounced on
them like a strong man armed, the
presents filling them from top to toe
in the morning. the rush Of the bare
feet hurrying fast across the floor, the
merry uproar. the bubbling laughter,
the shouts of joy-tbe whole of this
family pageant belongs to dear Santa
Claus. We owe Ii to him. Gradually,
as the golden mists of childhood clear
before the sun and the trailing clouds
of glory fade, our small men and wO-
men discover that Santa Claus is not
one. but ten thousand; that he is better
than they knew. being just the spirit
OF love, good will and beautiful un-
selfishness that makes the world a
beautiful place to live in now and
makes II good starting point for
hesven by and by. For you and me
I. hone that we may do our duty
n M world lopi1C' While we keep
sne ehi.d neArt ana believe ia santa.
