what he thought were exploding
torpedoes and the engineer
brought the train to a gradual
stop.
Just before it stopped, the rob-
Der escaped through the door of
the express car and disappeared
in the woods beside the track.
AS Conductor w. E. Cason, of
Monroe, N. c., ran toward the
engine along the track, Messen-
ger Fletcher jumped to the
ground beside the express car.
The messengers shirt was afire
from the robbers parting shot,
fired so close that it ignited the
cloth on Fletcher's body.
Fletcher was wounded through
the fleshy part of his right arm
bv that shot.
Two special agents of the Sea-

among the passengers in the
train started Immediately on the

left them, bringing its travellers
into Atlanta at $40 o'clock,
twenty minutes behind schedule.

When going at a rate of not
exceeding six miles an hour it is
comparatively easy to cease; so
Arbuckle applied the brakes.
