And M «t the Treasure—All the Paw ugvra
9.rym'mm k
On. ha, Neil, Septemlier 19.
Union Pacific cast bound express
tra : n, due here this after, oon, was
robbed last nig't between 10 and 11
o'clock at Big 8pring station, three
hundred and sixty miles west of
Omaha, by a party of masked men,
who got away with over $(10,000.
Four masked *m'*n, bolding four re>
volvers, walked into Station Agent
Barnhart’s office a few minutes before
train time, and one of them directed
him to cut off all telegraph communi
cation by tearing u*» his instruments.
Barnhart endeavored to throw them
off the track by taking up only his
sounder, but the men bade him pull
np the relay and hand it ever, which
ho d’.d. The man who gave the com
mands was a captain, evidently a
telegraph operator. Barnhart, under
cover of the revolvers, and according
to the captain’s commands, next hung
out his red light to stop the express,
which soon came up and stopped.
Barnhart was rushed to the door of
the express car by the lour robbers,
who made him knock for Express
Messenger Miller, who opened the
door a few inches,
f- The highwaymen, then, by some
means, sboved the door clear open,
jumped in, and covered Messenger
Miller with cocked revolvers. They
took Miller’s revolver away from him,
bruised him about the head consider
ably, and then opened one safe, from
which they obtained the treasure
boxes containing $60,000 in gold coin,
which was a shipment from Califor
nia, and $458 in currency They tried
to make Miller open the through safe,
which has a combination lock and is
not opened anywhere between the
termini of the road, but as the mes
sengers do not know the combination,
he could not comply with the de
mand, and they let him off aftei, ex
plaining.
While this was going ou in the
express car, the other part of the
gang bad captured the engineer ami
fireman and put out the fire in the
engine, .and the moment Conductor
Patterson step|»ed on the platform to
see what orders were nailing fir
him, as indicated by the red-light
sigoal to stop, be, too, was corralled,
being covered by cocked revolvers
ami ordered to throw np his hands.
Patterson says there were from ten
to fiiteen of them. After plundering
the express tar, the robbers went
into the passenger eoacln-s and began
robbing the jiassengers, securing
about half a dozen gold watches and
nearlv $. ; i0U in cash and some railroad
tickets. A I; eigli train now appro idl
ing from the rear, Conductor Patter
son was conducted by a guard past
the sleeping coaches a short distance
up the track, so that he could flag
the approaching train to prevent a
collision, ilie guard . then left hitn
and joined the main body, who then
retreated from the ears. They had
no horses in si-ht, hut had them con
cealed s<nne li(tie distance off They
Mum disappeared as mysteriously as
they had appeared, going north, as
•s.was shortly afterwards learned.
Conductor Patterson gcut the
.freight engine out at once to give the
alarm at the r.ext station, and as soon
as the fire was up in his own engi e,
resumed his trip. By 7 o’clock this
jnoruing, Superintendent Clark hav
ing learned nil the particulars, had
telegraphed everywhere, and offered
-$IG,0 O reward.
Sheriff McCarty, of Sidney, and
-Sheriff Bradley, of North Platie,
were sent out with a largo force of
^mounted men. Sheriff Brad ey scents
to have pot on the trail, as it is said
that he foutid two revolvers and one
empty coin box ten miles north of
Big Springs. It is suspected that
'these tneu are the same who have
been robbing the coaches of the
Black Bills stage line. It is yet n
mystery how the robbers opened the
door of the express car, ns it Is so
arranged as tb open six inches when
they went through the passengers
systematically, collecting $1,300 ac
cording to the figures of Conductor
Kelly. One man they searched three
times, but he managed to conceal
$400 in large bills between his fingers.
The robbers tried to gel into the
aVcping car, but the door was ton
securely bolted for them. They did
not rob the women, and to two crip
ples they refunded what they had
t:ikon. A company of soldiers left
Sidney this moming in pursuit. This
evening several detectives under
Chief Hanlon, an experienced officer,
left Omaha tor the West.
Kansas Crrv, Mo., Sept. 19 —
There are good grounds for believing
that the train robbery last night on
the Union Pacific was ]>erpetrated by
a gang from southwest Missouri and
this vicinity, headed by two of the
old guerrillas. -The friends of tin
three Youngers, now in the Minneso
ta penctentiary for the attempted
hank robbery 'at Northfield, have
been planning for several months
how to raise a fund by which the
escape of the boys might be effected.
The Youngers in their palmy day>
never lacked friends who shielded
them, and they could always recruit
a gang for a bank or train robbery
from men whose coolness of nerve
could be redied on from the periodical
raids they made on banks and rail
road tarins. Cole Younger was the
leader.
