Three shots were exchanged by the w trainman and the outlaw before the fatal bullet pierced the bandit's heart. and he fell from the engine cab to the ground. Before entering the town the train stopped for imtw pnd the three ban dits climbed aboard. On starting I again the engine exploded a torpedo, 1 end as Engineer Henry Wentz was W - to a complete stop to ascer tain what was wrong, the bandit crawled over the tender. He covered tfe« engineer and fire man with liis pistol, threatening to kill them if they disobeyed his orders. While the train was being stopped the other two bandits forced the door of the mail car and with revolvers threatened to kill the clerks if they sounded an alarm. Gets Weapon in Saloon Hrakeman Sanford. suspecting that something was wrong in the train stopping again afler leaving the water tank, dropped off the train on the side farthest away from the town and sta- ! 1 tion.

San ford was at a mean disadvantage, as 1 was compelled to shoot up ami into j "the cab. He was afraid of killing either Engineer Went* '>r the fireman. The bandit, appreciating the situation, j took ev»ry advantage of ft and tried j to plane either Went! or the fireman ' between himself anil the hrakeman.

Second Bullet Fatal aim of Sanford proved good after lie hud fired twice, and the bandit foi ward to the ground. He fell Within a few feet of where Sanford was standing, his smoking revolver ready if the bandit showed more fight. This precaution, however, was unnecessary, as the bullet had pierced his heart, and he was dead. At the sound of the shot the bandits in the mail i ,<> appre hensive and made haete to depart.

Instead of contin- j • iiing to the engine, they crawled under the mail car and made their way through tht • : ,d underbrush to p (the foothills. It was not until after the bandit was killed and the other bandit? had escaped that Conductor Frank Biekie and passengers learned that the train was being robbed. Even the town I people standing on the depot platform j waiting for the train to pull Into the ! station from the water tank did not i realize that a robbery was being com ! mined.

DEAD MAN CARRIED ON CITY PAYROLL Street Sweeper Draws Salary Six Years Under Deceased Father's Name Peter Bohan, a street sweeper em ployed by the board of works, believes In following in his father's footsteps. He stepped into them six years ago at his father's death and has been holding hie father's civil service job ever since by the simple expedient of assuming his father's name, Thomas Rohan. Treasurer McDougald and Auditor Boyle were advised of the peculiar case yesterday, as it concerned the payment of Bohan'e salary. An Investigation ie being conducted by the civil service commielon. which thus far has re sulted in Peter Bohan's salary being held up for the month of October and which promises to result further in Peter Bohan's losing his job—or, to be more correct, h!s dead father's Job. As far as the records of the. civil service commission go, there is no such person as Peter Bohan, civil service street sweeper, and yet Peter Bohan has been drawing a salary of $3 a day from the city since his father died, six years ago.

Jt Iβ alleged that in oraer to escape detection he assigned his salary war rants each month to a broker, thus removing the necessity of appearing in person at the auditor* and treasurer's offices for his money.

She made complaint*to the works board officials recently that Peter tree not giving her enough money and asked if hie salary could not be retained in some manner to force him to provide for her. She was referred to the civil service commis sion, before whom she unwittingly re referred to her husband aa Peter Bohan.
