They are considerad the fastest rapid-firing guns extant, knows as the 1998 Winchester model, “I'he railroads have got to begin and arm their men,” sald Mr. Dutton, ‘We hope we will not have oceasion to use the ‘riot guns,’ but if we do, our men will shoot to kill, every one of them. The guns can be fired off as fast ns you ean turn your left hand. I think that if any train robbers give our men a half n chance there will be some without any heads at all. The pay oar has been equipped with the guns, in addition to all the express trains of the system, and the pay oar men are also fitted out with revolvers, There are six men on wur pay train armed with ‘riot guns’ and revolvers, and every employe on our ex. press trales has a ‘riot gun."
