BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY
Lone Bandi* Makes Daring Hold-
Up of Train in Pennsylvania.
TAKES PENNIES; LEAVES BOLD
Robber Carried Away Great Loads of
New Lincoln Pennies, Thir.king They
Were Gold Coins.
Lewiston, Pa.—One of the most au
dacious and startling hold-ups of a
railroad train in the oast for years,
occurred on the eastern slope of the
Allegheny mountains, when' a lone
highwayman stopped a Pennsylvania
Railroad express train with a dyna
mite cartridge, and, at the point of
a revolver, compelled the crew to
carry thousands of dollars in coin and
bullion from an express car to a spot
in the wilderness.
When the conductor of the train at
tempted to interfere with the robber’s
plans, he was shot in the hand, and
the bold bandit succeeded in making
good his escape. In the darkness,
however, he mistook a bag contain
ing ten thousand new Lincoln pen
nies for gold coin, and staggered
away with it, leaving the real gold
bullion to be recovered by the rail
roaders.
When the news of the robbery
reached the railroird and express com
pany officials they were deeply con
cerned at its boldness, and immediate
ly ordered every availanle detective
from the east and west to tne scene
in an effort to capture the robber.
Bloodhound were also put on his
track, but no trace of the man has
been found.
The looted train was made up of an
engine, three express cars and two
sleeping coaches, filled with passen
gers. it was running through Lewis
ton narrows, a wild and lonely moun
tain gorge, througn wnich Hows the
Juanita river, when suddenly a dyna
mite cap was exploded, and the en
gine driver brougnt tne train to a
standstill. When he looked out to
see what the trouble was, he was
confronted by a masked ngure, hom
ing a revolver in either hand.
"Are there any mail cars on this
train?" demanded the highwayman.
"No," was the reply of the startled
engineer.
The engine crew was then forced at
the point of the gun to accompany
the robber to the first express car,
where the messenger was looking out
to discover the cause of the sudden
stopping of the train.
A revolver was pointed at the mes
senger’s head and threatening to
blow up the car with dynamite, the
robber forced the messengers of the
two express cars and engine crews
to carry all the gold and bullion
stacked in the first car to the side
of the track.
Conductor Pffenberger of Harris
burg, Pa., who came up while mis
wont was being accomplished, was or
dered back by the oandit, wno emp
tied one of his revolvers at him, one
of the shots penetrating his hand and
the otheis grazing ms body.
Despite tne appearance of three
passengers, who nau oeen awakeueu
by the shooting, the robber calmly
ordered the crew back on the train,
and compelled them to steam away,
leaving tne bullion beside the track.
It was discoveied iaier by a po»se
sent on a special train.
When the tram was leaving, he call
ed out: "Goodby and &ooa luck; i
hope to see you again."
iNo clew to the rouber's identity has
yet been discovered. He is described
as being about o feet 8 inches in
height, and was dressed in dark dom
ing, and wore a slouch hat, pulled
well down over nis eyes. He nad a
slight foreign accent.
Agent Hainaker of Lewiston sent a
safe to the scene of tne ronoeiy m
receive six bags of pennies, on which
the seals had not oeen broken, but
which had oeen cut open witn a
sharp kniie to ascertain the contents,
and abandoned by tne robber in uis
gust.
