TRAIN HELD UP
NEAR DUCKS, B. c.
Robbers Failed to Find ANY,
thing of Value and ES-
capped in a Boat.

Vancouver, B. c.. June 22.-Six
masked men armed with revolvers and
rifles held up Canadian Pacific west
bound express No. 81 near Ducks about
midnight last night. searched three ex-
press cars, and failing to find anything
of value, escaped across Schuswap lake
IN skiff. A posse is in pursuit.
According to members of the train
crew, two men crawled over the coal
pile on the locomotive. and at the points
of their pistols compelled the engineer
TO stop when he saw signal fire, near
Ducks. At this point four other rob-
bers boarded the engine. Each carried
a rifle, and two shots were fired in the
air to impress the railroad men.
The leader of the band forced the
fireman to take an ak and break in the
panels along the sides of the express
cars This failing to reveal any booty.
the robbers backed away toward the
lake, where they escaped an their boat.
just ahead of No. 81 was the St. Paul
express, which had picked up a quanti-
ty of silver bullion. and the authorities
believe this was the incentive for the
hold-up.
