Jump Aboard Train.
The bandits clambored aboard the
train just before it made the grade.
They worked quickly but they worked
silently. three of them hopping the ten
der while four went to the caboose and
chung to the rail, waiting for the signal.
The first thing the train crew knew of
the presence of the bandits was when
the fireman. turning to dig his shovel
into the sle of coal that glistened in
the moonlight, saw q man clambering
down the pile with something in his
hand that glinted and shone. He stood
stock still with surprise, and another
man followed the first, the third and
fourth remaining on top of the tender
The fireman raised his shovel, but The
bandit was too quick. He showed the
gun against the railroad mans side.

The fireman dropped his shovel and
backed into the cab. The engineer turned

head. He stopped the train on COM

men on the tip of the tender fred two
shots into the air. This was apparently

the rear Of the train. for 1t was only a
few minutes later that the door of the
caboose was swung open and the BAN

against the wall OF the caboose, while
one OF them clambered to the top of the
first car ahead of the caboose and set
out in pursuit Of the brakeman who had
begun to run along the top of the train.
Az soon as the train had stopped the
bandits chased the crew out of the ca
boose and marched them at the point of
guns along the track to the locomotive.
There they were loaded into the tender,
and, with three bandits sitting on the
coal with guns in their hands, the engi-
neer drove the locomotive down the
track in the direction of New Hamburg.
Then they told the engineer to stop and
there they waited until half dozen shots
