They Rob the Passengers of $9OO and
Twenty Watches.
Denver, Col., Aug. 7.—The Rio Grande
road’s western train No. 3, known as Mo
doc, was held up near Creoasselast night by
train robbers. Two of them boarded the
baggage car at Thompson Springs. They
climbed over the engine, pointed revolvers
at the heads of the engineer aud fireman,
and compelled them to stop the
train. They forced the fireman
to attempt to chon through the doer
of the express car, and made the engineer
bring a bag to hold the plunder. The
m-ssenger, Mr. Wliiis, was ready with a
magazine shotgun ami two self-cocking re
volvers. The fireman was unable to chop
through the boiler iron door, so the robbers
fired i dozen shots through tho car. Messen
ger Willis lay oa the floor, aud was not tit.
BOTH SIDES AFRAID.
The robbers dared uot show their heads at
the broken windows, lest they should get
shot. They gave it up aud joined two other
robbers back in the other car. Tho four
weut through the train with
their revolvers drawn aud gathered
$391) and twenty wutcues. One passenger
put his head out of 1 lie window to see what
was going on, and the robbers sent a bullet
through his hat. Most of tho passengers hid
their valuables successfully, those losing
them being too frightened to hide them. A
posse has gone from Green river. Two
deputy United States marshals went out
this morning from Salt Lake with Llood
houuds.
THE LADIES NOT DISTURBED.
The railroad officials say that when the
robbers found they could uot effect an
entrance into the express car, where
they knew geveral thousand dollars
were in the safe, they called their
men together and leaving one
to guard Conductor Tammany, and another
with the fireman, the third handing the
brakeman a sack ami pointing a ooeked re
volver at his head, oompeiied him to walk
ahead ot them through the train, where
they collected $909 and the gold watches.
Ladies were not disturbed, and a number of
masculine passengers took advantage of
this exhibition of chivalry to turn over
their valuables to the ladies’ keeping.

dell in consideration of his not prosecuting
the you ig criminal. Arrangements were
partially made to this effect, and with this

dence to show that the prisoner had a mo
tive for ridding herself of her husband.
Ibis could bo round in her infidelity', which
had rendered it necessary for her to enter
into the inextricable nazes of lying. He also
called particular attention to the phrase:*
“He is sick unto death,” contained in her
letter to Brierly. This was terribly lm
portant In view of tho fact that on the day

ing tnat tho prisoner was desirous of being
rid of her husband in order that, she might
live with hr paramour. The judge put
tile question to tho jury whether it was
reasonable to believe that a loving wife
would yield to her husband’s suggestion to
