Hold Up the North Coast Limited
Near Buffalo, n D.

highwaymen held up the North Coast
limited No. on the Northern Pacific
road near Buffalo, ". d., searched the
passengers, shot and wounded the en-
gineer, E. d. Olson of Fargo, and es-
capped with cash and valuables esti-
mated at between $500 and $1,000.
The North Coast limited, eastbound,
stopped at Highbridge, between Valley
City and Buffalo. The three men,
armed and wearing masks, entered a
day coach. One held the train crew
at bay, while the others lined up the
passengers and took their valuables.
The sleepers and dining car also were
invaded and few passengers escaped
the search.
Completing their work in the train
the robbers crawled over the baggage
car to the tender of the locomotive.
They ordered the engineer, Olson, to
stop the train. He refused. Two shots
were fired into the engine cab. One
bullet inflicted flesh wound in the
side of the engineer. The other went
wild. The engineer stopped the train
and the highwaymen dropped of the
tender and fed.

London, July 20.-According to fig

from the plague in India have reached
the enormous total of 650,690 for the
half year ending June 30.
The disease has taken such hold
on that country that its ravages are
little heard of except through the oc-
casional official statistics.
The British India Office in recent re.
ports stated that the epidemic was
particularly virulent this year and
that the most persistent efforts to
stamp it out failed to effect per-
manent improvement in the situation.
