ROBBERS SECURE
NEARLY $4,000
After Looting Registered Mails Ban
dts Send Engine to Collide With
Passenger Coaches.

Spokane Wash, May l7.-Bandits
held up Great Northern passenger
train No. between Colbert and Mead
late Saturday night The robbers de-
tached the engine and mail car from
the train, ran them down the track
a considerable distance and then, af-
ter the registered mail had been open
ed, they sent the engine and mail can
back to collide with the cars stand
ing on the track. Twelve persons
were injured in the collision.
The conductor saw the wild cars
coming down the track at speed of
twenty-five miles an hour and he and
one of the trainmen placed tie on
the track in an endeavor to stop their
flight The engine and car were part
ly stopped by the tie, and they plung-
ed into the standing coaches The
passengers in all of the cars were
thrown from their seats Most of the
injuries were caused by glass from
the broken windows. There we're in
jured persons in every car.
When the train reached Colbert Sat
urday night some switching had to
be done. While the engine crew was
busy at this work two men suddenly
appeared in the cab of the engine and
with drawn revolyers ordered the en-
gineer William Miller to do as he
commanded. The engineer and fire
man. John Hail. obeyed. The switch
ing was finished and the train pulled
out. After the train had gone a few
miles the engineer was ordered to
stop, and he and his fireman were
forced to dismount from the cab.
Other robbers joined the two in the
cab and two of them went to the
door of the mail car and ordered it
opened Their command was obey
ed Meanwhile two other bandits
were with the engineer and fireman,
who were uncoupling the mail car and
the locomotive from the rest of the
train.
Soon after the train stopped the con-
ductor, C. L. Robertson, jumped from
the car. but was driven back by the
bullets of the robbers. Climbing into
the cab the outlaws ran the engine
and mail car down the track-how far
is not known. About half an hour
after the engine and mail car had dis
they we're seen coming down
the track.
Two special trains with officers on
board were sent from Spokane when
the word of the holdup was receiv-
ed here. Doctors were also taken out
