HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. j.
31.--After he had exploded .
dynamite cartridge ON the
tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad and brought the fast
Pittsburg and Northern ex-
press to q standstin when
near Lewiston Narrows, n
lonely spot 81 miles west Of
here, lone highwayman to-
day looted the express car OF
the train of $4,000, robbed
the passengers, shot the con-
ductor and escaped.
After stopping the train he
boarded the engine and at the
point of pistol compelled the
crew to alight and accompany him
to the express car.
Puts $5, 900 in Sack.
There, with the train crew looks
ing on, he forced the messenger
to place $1,000 in sack. While
this was in progress the train con-
ductor entered the express car.
The desperate ordered him to
throw up his hands.
The conductor failed to obey the
command and, to show his dis
pleasure, the highwayman sent q
bullet through the fieshy part OF
the trainman's right arm. This
member fell useless by the con-
ductor's side.
Then the highwayman COM
manded the engineer, big husky
fellow. to pick up the heavy sack
containing the money and to fols
low him. This the engineer did
Robs Passengers.
The bandit led the engineer to
the Pullman cars and, after awak-
ening the sleeping passengers,
compelled them to deliver their
valuables. While all this was go-
ing on, the entire train crew was
at the bandits heels, powerless to
aid the unresisting passengers.
Fireman Forced to Carry Sack.
After loading himself down with
valuables and money, the high
wayman forced Fireman Willis to
carry the sack to the top of .
rugged hill.
After they had reached fits sum-
NIT, the bandit politely thanked
the fireman and ordered him to
hustle back to the engine. and to
help start the train on its way.
Willis lost no time In obeying
these instructions.
When the train reached AL
toona. the railroad officials were
notified of the robbery and a
posse of railroad detectives was
rushed to the scene on a special
train. Is
Leaves His Sack Behind.
A search of the woods revealed
the fact that the highwayman had
left the sack containing the money
behind. It evidently had been too
heavy for him to carry. Anum-
ber of discarded wallets of the pas
sengers also were found along the
roadside. A number OF new Linz
coin pennies were found in the
sack deserted by the bandit.
The. railroad detectives have lit
tie hope of apprehending the bans
dit as he wore a mask which Conn
pletely hid his features.

Portland Isolated.

PORTLAND, Aug. Slowing
to forest fires east and south of
this city, Portland today is prac-
tically ISOLATED by wire from COM
munication with California and
the East.
Though the eastern fires are
several miles away, the valleys
surrounding this city are filled
with thin blue haze of smoke
from burning timber.
Word has been received by
railroad officials from various
parts of Washington that extern
sive forest fires are burning. ow-
ing to the dryness OF the timber.
Fires in the proximity of the
Northern Pacific road between
here and Seattle have rendered
travel burdensome owing to ex-
cessive heat and dense smoke.

Logging Camps Burned Out.

KALAMA, Aug, 31.-A fierce
forest fire is raging in the green
timber east of here, and the AL
ger logging camps have been
burned out and one or more DON
key engines destroyed.
More than a section of Alger's
timber had been burned over Sun
day. and the fire was rapidly ad-
vancing toward Barr's camp. The
loss will be heavy, especially
where the owners are not pre-
pared to log off their lands at
once.
