THE CRAWFORDSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Express Messenger Charles Stands OIF a Party of Train .Robbers.

WAS TOO Ml'CII FOR 'EM

The Dynamite They Cast Into His Car Hold No I errors For the PI nek Messenger.

Portland. Ore.. Oct. —The north hound overland express train on the Southern I'aeitlc was held up by two masked men yesterday 15 miles south of Eugene. The robbers blew open the express car with dynamite but secured no booty, having been driven off by the express messenger. The only booty secured was one registered mail pouch. Two men boarded the train at Collage Grove and a short distance this side, near Saginaw, put off the fireman and his helper, uncoupled the express ear and made the engineer go ahead a short distance. Their first act was to blow open the door of the express ear, which they did with dynamite, tearing the door to pieces and badly damaging the car.

Express Messenger II. Charles was in the car and had madexiip lift mind lo slay there. The robbers ordered the messenger out of the car. but lie determindedly refused to come, and held position where he could easily bring down any person wno should enter through the opening oil the side by the dynamite. •'Come out of there, or we will blow yon and the car ail to hell,", commanded the robbers.

Then the messengers compelled the engineer to throw into the car a stick of dynamite with a lighted fuse. The messenger grabbed it, put'out the lire in the fuse, and threw out the stick.

They next tried to enter the car by compelling ho engineer, who was in the hands of the robbers, to crawl in through the door, the robbers hoping to gain admittance by using him as a protector, but Ci.arles used his shotgun to good advantage and kept: up a good lire directly over the engineers head knowing well the robbers would not attempt to follow him into the ear. Finally the roDbers turned their attention

getting away with what

little they could from the mail car. They obtained the registered mail and then one of them, taking the engineer on boaru the engine, which they cut loose from the train, and ran to within half a mile of Eugene, where he left the engine and started toward the Willamette river, in a northerly direction. The passengers were not molested.

Italian lirisjands.

Rome, Oct. 'J4.-Seven brigands held up a dilligence that was proceeding to Sassari, in Sardinia, with a registered mail bag. Shots were exchanged and two carbfneers, who wore escorting the dilligence, were wounded, while a. lady passenger was killed. The robbers looted the dilligence, but in the scuttle the postal clerk escaped with the registered letters.

-At The Busy Store-

It is a Pleasure to Buy.

•"PS not what you pay for a thing that makes it cheap or dear, but what the thing itself is "worth. Low prices are not always cheap] prices. We do not po&itively know that this is the best store in the county,Ibut we do know that no store in the county is better. If you don't see whatlyou want on this page ask for it at the store.

Wo will out-distance all competition on Domestics. These are not idle words, but a phrase that will be verified. We cut deeply into the prices on our regular stock. Items that follow represent perfect goods. Don't Bkip an item. It's all profitable reading.

We'd Thank Yo« to Tell Us

and Unreservedly at That.

When the stalks of a wheat field all Jean to the south one may fairly infer the wind is in the north. Likewise when the crowds continuously stream into our store is it not a fair assumption that our stocks and our services are preferred to all others? 'Twould seem so Now we are not given to buying bouquets for self presentation, nor are we charged with boastfulness. In this case we are merely stating a palpable fact for which we are profoundly grateful. In this connection let us add we'd thank our friends to tell us frankly of our faults. We waiit to know. We want our store service to be as good as our prices, and the prices are revolutionary.
