It took them but a few moments to get through with that. After leaving the mailcar they proceeded to hold. up the passengers. Each passenger was compelled to give up all'the valuables that he had. No.opposition was made to the bandits by trainmen or passengers, and after they had completed their work they disap- peared in the neighboring brush.

The robber told every one to put his - money and vatuables in the sack. I held the lan- tern so that each could easily see where to put his stuff. This is the way we proceeded through four cars. The robber was shielded from in front by us. Some one might have shot him from behind, but the bombs exploding outside, along with the yells of the others, kept every one quiet. The job took probably forty-five or fifty minutes, I should think; and then the men disap- peared. Isaw only three men, but there may have been more.”” Just how much was obtained in the postal-car is not known. It is estimated that about $1000 in registered mail was ob- tained. The robbers refused to take silver and ordered the passengers to “‘divy up their gold.” Postal Agent Herman states that he had five registered packages, two of which were saved by hiding them: He said: “I knew Ecould not hide all, for the rob- ber would .make me dig up. The other mail matter and some loose registered let- ters were hidden by scattering them all ‘| around the ear. Then I got back in my bunk. The robber knocked at the door and I got up and opened it.

The tracks were relaid.on different ‘lines from where the railroad had been for years.. It was at the scene -of the worst “washout,” a pic- ture of which was taken by T ibbitts, the.
