this morning in pursuit.
The posse returned at noon without
finding the robber. Four empty pocket

capture of the robber, as indications
were that the officers were in close pur
suit. A capture was momentarily expected.
The robbery occurred in the dead of
night when all were asleep. They were
roused by the porter from their slum
bers, when the robber pushed a gun
in their faces and made a demand for
their money.
Everyone responded and some S300
were taken. At Tucumcari the E. P. &
S- W. passenger agent refunded all the
passengers the amount they had been
relieved of.
The lone robber displayed a quioi at
titude in passing through the trainband

train was being held up until after It
had stopped and the robber escaped.

robbed and the two bandits captured.

eastbound, was held up and its passen

tion of the robber, who is described as a
small, dark man, wearing dark trous
ers, a slouch hat after the manner of
the stage bondittl, and weighing about
140 pounds. f.
Fosses have been organized and are
covering the country around Carrizozo
and through the mountainous country
In that vicinity. v

bring the train to a stop. He then
marched the brakeman and Pullman
conductor, J. N. Mayer, ahead of him as
he went through the tourist car and
Pullman sleeper. At the robber's com
mand, the trainmen awakened the sleep
ing passengers, who stared with be--wildered
eyes Into the barrel of a re
volver and heard the command to de
liver their money. After be had gone
the length of the tourist car and the
standard sleeper, the robber alighted
from the train and, adding insult to in

Fowler said the inhumanity igamst

Texan, "there were 10,000 persons,
nearly all of whom were influential
