PASSENGER TRAIN NO. | HELD UP
Baggage and Mail Cars RifIed But
Nothing Secured

Great Northern passenger train

about 1880 o clock, two miles this
side of Rexford, by two masked
men and the baggage and mail car
! flied, but according to reports
very little of value was secured by
the robbers. The passengers were
not molested.
The highwaymen must have
boarded the train at Rexford and
crawled over the coal car and held
up the engineer and fireman, lorc-
ing them to stop the train, AS
Conductor Price stepped from the
train to Investigate, he was covered
with a gun and forced to uncouple
the baggage and mail cars which
were then run down the track
about three miles. In the mean
time the express messenger anu mali
clerks had left their cars, and the
robbers were obliged to blow open
the door of the baggage car. No
express of value was found, and il
is believed the robbers Jared no
better with the mail, in the rifling
of which they forced the engineer
and fireman to aid them.
Several shots were fred to intimi-
date the passengers and eight OF
ten shots were fired into the
baggage car door. The men wore
bandana handkerchiefs as masks
and were described as being excep-
tionally tall.

otherwise and Boomers Ferry bows
gracefully to their decision and

The judges were Judge Dunn of

The game Sunday against the
Troy ball team added one more
easy victory to the credit of the
local club, with the score II to a.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting by the locals who
scored IA hits, while the visitors
got only S. Two base hits were
made by Peterson, Bruce and
Emard, three base hits by Barber
and Fleming, while a number
tapped the sphere hard enough for
a safety to first. Emard, the new
first baseman, appropriated five
hits in FIVE times up, and Heather
