ROBBED Af BIG SPHu A Prtstnffer , ’<* Arlpoit Tlaikt tt vers to Nave Ills Baron atittl Ills* Cash. A correspondent of the Omaha Herald, who was one of the nasuet gera on the train that was lobbed on Union Pacific Railroad, at Big Springs, vVyomiog, Wednesday nigltt, 13ptem ber 19, studs to the pssper the fol lowing racy account t f his experience : O.v th f. Koah, Sept. 20. That train robbery at Big Springs Station was au interesting occasion, and no mistake. I was there, but not by special invitation. Nat being ac customed to that sort of diversion, had 1 knowrt what was to happen, I tlcnk I shou'd have waited for the next tiain. You have probably got an ac count of the whole thing by telegraph long ago, fo I will not attempt to write it up for you in full, bur will give a little sketch of I saw, which may possibly be of interest. We rolled up to the Big Springs depot as usual. The night was boau tiful and tbe moon shone brightly.— As the train stopped. I went out on the i latform of the car, where 1 found an Omaha merchant, and wi stood and talked tliero about two minutes, when there suddenly appeared before us on the ground lour masked men, with a cocked revolver in each hand aimed directly at u*. At first I | thought it was some joke, but when tbe devils ordeied us ivto the car “d—d quick,” and ti< hold up our I bands and make no “breaks,” and called us hard names, I concluded it meant usim-as,” and another look at those eight revolvers, which just about that tin e began to look like moun tain howitzers, convinced me in much less than a week’s time that the even ing air ws unhelthy, and I had busi ness inside immediately. In otho. words, 1g it quick. As 1 closed the .ear door two shots were fired a*, my friend, hitting him twice in the hand, and taking off about a loot f th- car dooi casing That satisfied him, and he took an inside Lirtli tolerably livs y. Ti e robtiers followed us in and commenced a lirst class game of talk One fired ff lis posti l in the Car - not to kill us; he held it tip, hut p oo afdy to give emphasis to his returnks, Which, by tie w av, were m re hue b e tcan pi litn Weil, they stat oned one man a* the front tend ot tl e cur, one u the rea , each with two 'pinto s, and io each of the remaining ruffians was alio ed the p easant task of robbing a row ol the seat-, which’they proceed ed to do eae hlno his own original The first nmn ebbed was a diua;- nitii Imn a N-w Yo k house, lie was orii -red to “stand up, howl up fits hat •, keep bis <1 —and moiMh shut,” and the search commenced They t nit fiorn ion S4BO and a gold wu ch Valued at sooo. The next man had only one aim fiie gentlemanly vi lam. that w s searching him happened •to italic e i-inp y sleeve. “II II,” a rid tie, “have yon only got one nrnii’” “Only iibs, s i,” replied tin than, “Wei', d—ti yon, t ke back your stiff e dot.’t w nt your money .>it down and keep still.” One of the wretches yelled put a fi.ey came into the car: “IT id up your hands, eveiy , aril keep still; we want your money, but will give each man SIU back, arid we wori’t hurt a man unless lie makes a trreak. We’Ve killed on man and don’t tvont to kill any mote, but your uionoy we wifi have; so, fi—d y< u, keep still, aud give it up—all of if, quietly”—at).i ju.reh more talked ol like chartti tor. *■ It w’as a rich scene—about forty men ol us sitting there quietly to let lour masked scalawags go through us that way; hut what could w do ‘7 Not. a revolver in the car except one, and that at the bottom ol a vadse. There was un use for any one t.) make a Start; tlieie were sever a ladies n the cars The two men at the end of the cars covered every body neatly with tuo Cocked revolvers, iiable to go ot? ftt any niotiieni, lor their bands trembled violently, showing that they were themselves excited. So wh obeyed orders to acer’inn extent„ but not lttl !y. I didn’t. I hail my hands up most ot the tin e, ex ept when I wan ted !o use them down, '.ecaere it was a sort ol re ief to u>y arms to chntge til ui from their usu.i positron, hill I to aid time to pnt rny pocket-booh with 8400 in it -down behind a lady’s Wotk-hasket, who occupied ttio next seat, alter ( t ing r. iiiclii wall td back about lour seats, nun managed to ge‘ my watch and chain off .ami down be hind my valise ,n >be car floor, alter which It tie performance tay hands wer. up, good and steady. I then had nothing on my person that I thought the thieves w. u and *ake except about ten dollars in coin in one pocket, and 1 finally worked uji a scheme to beat them out of this. The naan who was robing the seats opposite me was mu li more expei t than tne other, and g t away ahead of him. After he had passed me about four seat , and the other one was at least four seats tic m me the other way, 1 got up leis urely .and ctossed the ais e, and took • a seat with a man who had been rob bed, and tire vdiiati whose plain duty it was to rob me, overlooked me en tiieiy ; so 1 was no: touched, and was the only man in that car wbo was Dot “gone through.” I think it to„k them about fifteen minutes to work ttm* car, during which they kept talking, ordering 1 passenger* what to do, und calling them such nice, lamihar names, as though we ali belonged to one family —nams that don’t look nice in print, but they finally got tf.rough and loft, giving us a final order not to stir out of the CBtyor we would get shot, and although I had folly retained by pres ence ei 'triad uni did eve.ytidrsg to protect mv own and succeeded, and toe and nger was ad over, something like a streak of lightning tpruek me ju3‘ then, and I liked to have shook myself to pieces. .It. fact 1 have hard ly got done shaking Vet.

Miss Emma Richards, of Akron, a girl verging on twenty years of age, was with her mother visiting at tho residence of Mr. Timothy Lrromi?, iu Lodi, when a sou of Timothy, surnamed Pliineas, proposed that ho shonid show her a small herd of deer that were kept in an enclosure i or. their premises. Tl young lady ! consented, and Phineas started into j tho brush to scare them up, the young iady mounw die standing at the gate to await the appearance of the mena gerie. Sudd sly she heard a cry of “Murder ’ in the somewhat juvenile voice ol Pliineas. Never thinking of fear, Miss Richards started in the di rection of tho noise,.ami after going a few rods discovered the boy pinned to *ivo earth, while un angiy buck s'ood over him with tiie ptong of ono horn ttirough the flesh of tho hoy’s ! side, and embedded in the earth.— !

Unable to ward off hi*> approach with the club, sue dropped it, and grasped him by the antlers, at the same time calling to the boy to rise and put for tao fence. He was either too much hurt or too bi lly scared to mind her, and so, disengaging one hand, tdie fif ed the boy to his feet, at the saineDiruo crowding the deer back with the other," Once on his pins young Pliineas found his speed, and put fm tfiu fence like a streak of lightning ou a copper rod, while* the brave girl gave all her at tention to Mr. Buck. It was a live'y tussle, and it kept all tier nerve and pluck to prevent her being thrown to tho ground. Still holding on to tiie horns she backed oil’ gradually, and in that manner ranched the fence, but not till her clothes were badly torn, and her body was bruised again and ai uin. At last, nearly exhausted, she reached the fence, and succeeded m getting over it without receiving any serious injury.
