has equipped all its express trains through.
out with “riot guns” for the reception of
train robbers. Every employe has one of
the guns on the tralus. They will discharge
six cartridges containing seventy-two buek-
shot in three seconds and tear an eight-inch
hole through anything. 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." We began to
put the guns into service on the trains three
days ago, ae fast as the trains came in."
