The holdup occurred near here shortly after midnight, when eight bandits put torpedoes on the track ahead of the Golden State Limited train. True to the traditions of the old |days of the pony express, it was | the express messenger, Harold Stew. |art, who broke up the robbery. He unlimbered his heavy rifle, | which hung in the express car, and when its magazine was empty one bandit lay dead and the other seven were fleeing out across the desert. Word of the robbery was tele graphed to Tucson and in two hours four posses, each headed by a depu ty sheriff, had taken the trail. The pursult led southward to ward the Mexican border, less than |100 miles distant, but over a dis [trict where water holes are few and far between |. The train, when stopped by the bandits, was cut in two, the engiae |and express cars being moved down |the tracks nearly a mile from the | passenger coaches, Just as the ban. how. the of looting the express car, ever, Stewart opened fire and robbery was over. The engine and express car were shoved back down the track, pas- jsenger coaches picked up and the train proceeded toward Los Angeles, where it was due today Many of the passengers were not aware that anything out of the ordi nary had occurred.
