BANDITS HOLD
Up FAST TRAIN
TWO MASKED MEN STOP ORIEN-
TAI LIMITED IN MONTANA.
Combination Mail and Baggage Car
Dynamited, but Nothing Of
Value is Stolen.

Spokane, WASH, May 16.-Great
Northern passenger train No. /, the
Oriental limited, was held up by two
masked men early yesterday near
kexford, Mont. The combination
mail and baggage car was detached
from the train and run four miles
west to Rond, where the car. was
rifled
Little valuable loot was obtained
by the bandits, as the registered
pouches had been brought west ten
hours earlier by the fast mail.
AS soon as the train was stopped
the mail clerk and baggageman
locked the doors and jumped from
the train and hid in the bushes
along the side of the track. When
the bandits could not open the car
doors. they dynamited the car and
put many bullets into it.
The train arrived here without
the damaged car, three hours late.
The bandits, clad in overalls and
with blue handkerchiefs over the
lower parts of their faces, tagged
the train soon after it left Rexford.
One bandit covered the engineer
with his revolver and the other ran
into Conductor w. H. Price, who
was going forward to see why the
train stopped. Price. in his anxiety
to put up his hands, dropped his
lantern and broke it.
The conductor, under orders, un-
coupled the baggage car from the
train. 1t was while the conductor
was working with the coupling that
the mail clerk, Benjamin L. Stump.
and the baggage messenger locked
the doors of the car and dropped in
to the brush.
When the engine and car stopped
near Dondo the bandits used dyna-
mite to tear off one door. After they
entered the car they tore open
sack containing the paper mail and
scattered the contents about the
floor. Finding nothing of value in
the car, the robbers dropped to the
ground and told the train crew not
to move for 80 minutes. A few min
utes later the crew backed the en-
CINE and car to the train and then
started for Spokane.
