hago, was signalled Ly a red lantern to

proached the light noticed obstructions
which would have derailed the engine
had he not stopped. The robbers va-
rlously estimated at from five to eight
in number, fred several shots into the
express car, and a man with a pistol in
each hand boarded the locomotive and
commanded Harper not to get down.
The other robbers had, in the mean-
time been prying open Lhe express car,
and, failing to get it open, they placed
a stick of glant powder under it and
j compelled Harper to hight the fuse at-

to avoid being blown up the messenger
opened the car and the robbers took
possession. After extinguishing the
fuse they then took charge of the car,
uncoupled the engine, baggage and ex-
press car from the remainder of the
troin and made Harper get on the ens
gine and pull ahead two lengths, This
being done, Harper was again put off

fne and pulled six miles toward
