Use amstre Oataa Ahaat BtTUtoO In CmshTafcea. Lrrrui aooa, Ana., Sept. St. Yesterday anerueea three rather geedleokiag country buys, young in yean, arrived at Hoot aXatfcm to the Iron Mountain Road, Uempstead Couatr, about 1)0 milt south of this etty. Thsy spent the sttemooa about the aalooas of that pises drinking and playing card. At 9:fl6 last night Uwy Itoardsd passenger train No. 4 bound north, due In at. ImmU tn -night, In charge of t'otidue. lor Whl asides. Two of the robbers get en the trslu as It started off, and the third, who afterward proved to be tit leader, na out of Kuan's aloon and Jumped on the train when It was moving quite rapidly. He went la ami Joined his companions, and all took, teats la a couch la which wen but two pat-. angers besides themselves, a lady and gcu tlemnn, Then wen several extra eoachee In ths train, going back to 8t. Lents nearly empty. The robbers did their work with,' remarkable coolness and recklessness. They made no attack on the passenger, and carried out a new plan. They told the patten-' gers that tbey intended to hurt no one, and that they wer.' accountable for tbe life of tbe Conductor.- They kept two revolvers at hi head all the time, and told the patenger that tbe slightest move would cost the life of' the Conductor. THK CONDUCTOR'S STORY. Conductor Whiteside says: "I found the robbers In one of the extra coaches, and when I went to them for tickets one of th party paid fan for all three' to Emmet Station, the firrt point north ot Hope. The leader spoke tbe name ot ths ttttton at It spelled Ktnerett, showing that he wat not familiar with' tbe country. I went on past them toward the rear of th train, when they got up, and, after taking a drink from a bottle at the door, followed m into tbe ladies' coach. They won not masked, and I bad no. Idea they wen desperadoet. I turned around to order them to be quiet, when a revolver was cocked In my face and one of them cried out, 'Put up your hands; we want your apart change.' I still thought tbe boys were tpreelng, and smiled at them, when one, Jerking hit revolver nervously, said: ' We mean business and don't want to hurt you, but we want your change mighty quick.' I started to move away, when the, rubber nearest me said, 'We want your wealth first.' I ran my hand In my coat pocket and banded them flfl In silver but no greenbacks. 'Greenbacks we want,' he eontlnued, and I laid him I had none, and they didn't search me; in fact, tbey searched no one, simply ordered one and alt to shell out. John Pollock, the foreman of tbe loe ears, had nearly $1,000 snd got off with nearly all of It, throwing It under the seat and giving the robbers KM). The robbers, after going through the ladles' ear, crowded me Into the Pullman sleeping-car, the passengers in which had retired. A gnat deal of noise was made entering tbe sleeper, en of the robbers yelU lug out, 'Throw up your bands,' The car conductor came running to the door, and aid, 'shut up this racket, or yon will wake my passengers.' The youngest of the robbers threw a 'gun down oa the sleeping-car conductor, and told him to shell out. He handed over $10. They then looked into the car, and taw it all made up and no one In sight. They then aid, ' Don't wake the passengers. Let 'em sleep.' I wat then told to face around. Tbey marcbed me back through the train, two robber behind and one In front. We made no stops until they reached the express ear. This ear, on tbe night train, Is a c mbtned exprats and luggage car, snd csn not be kept locked. They made me enter th ear first, with three revolver at my head. Express Messenger Sain made a rush at us with a revolver, and I was compelled to tell him to atop in order to save my own life. While two of them guarded u the other went through the safe, lesrini; oj.en package after package, and throwing the envelopes into tbe safe, Tbey got out of the safe upward of flfl.OOO, and In their haate overlooked one paoksge, the remitttanee of the Texrkana agent, containing fl5.(W0. The money stolen wat moMly remittances of sgents on the Texas Pacific and Interns! iuoal Railroads on the way to St. Louis headqutrier. After tbe robberv tbe men xot oft, cilinbed an em bankment and told the conductor to leave, and be ' quick about it.' Engineer George Stanton, who had been down on the ground watching the performance, then stepped off toward his engine, when one of the gang ssld, 'Quick. you,' snd a vol ley of bullets rattiea up againsi we ww; motive. He pulled out at once, and several shot were find Into the cars, hit ' lug no one. Waiter Ford, the banrage-master, got off free, telling them be had no money. A negro passenger said to ib robbers. Vf done paid once, boat,' thinking the conductor was calling on him a second time. Th robbers alt laugnea ana let mm on. - A MO RRWARt OrFRRRP. General Manager Hoxle, Assistant Superintendent Dudley and Division Superintendent Buchanan wen on a special behind the train that was robbed. At Prescott Hoxle hired men with horses to pursue th robbers. Between It and 1 to-day Hoxle had a consultation with Oonrnor Churchill in this city, t he result of which is that Hoxi offers a reward of fft.O'M each for the capture of tbe men, and tbe Stat offers f p00 for each. Tbe Governor and several other left for the scene of the robbery at 4 o'elock this afternoon, when pursuit will be continued under th direction of the Kxntlve In person.
