beside the conductor
While one robber watched the train
men the other two men uncoupled the en-
CINE, baggage and express car from the
coaches, forced the trainmen into the cab
and ordered the engineer TO open the
throttle. The locomotive, pulling the two
cars, shot across the burning bridge.
What remained of the structure fell into
the water a minute after the cars had
passed. The passenger cars were left
standing at the brink of the stream.
Half a mile on the other side of the
bridge the bandits ordered the engineer TO
stop. The safe In the express car was
then dynamlted and ransacked and the
robbers fed to the wood covered hills with
their plumber
Eye witnesses declare they saw one Of
the robbers twice make trips from the ex-
press safe, each time with his arms piled
high with sealed packages Of currency.
