ADMISSION 50c:
ANOTHER LONE BANDIT
HOLDS UP EXPRESS
i
Nugget’s Special Service.
1JEAVMONT, Texas, March ts.—The
southwest is full of tales of the deeds
of bad men. bandits and Indian fight
ers and people are not often shaken
out ot the calm of life lay the mere
story of a hold up or stage robbery
or murder. They have been coming
•tl 'ir In the day's work for so many
years that it all seems part of the
life of the great Texas plains. Hut
e.'easionally one more daring than the
a< cage run of outlaws puts over >t
dial that makes ttie whole state sit
j up and taken notice.
sneli a one was the lone bandit who
! last night held up an entire Santa
Hu train and after securing fourteen
thousand dollars in cash made a get
away without injuring a man and
and without leaving the slightest trace
of where or how he disappeared.
The express was slowing down to
run into this town and had in fact
just entered the outskirts going at a
s'ow rate of speed when the engineer
saw a lantern being waived back and
forth across the track ahead of him.
There are a number of switches at
the entrance to the railway yards and
Krgineer Michael Corbin thought that
the light was being ..waived by one of
the yard switchmen to warn him of an
open frog or track out of order.
Slower and slower ran the train
until the engineer was abreast of the
man with the lantern. Out of the
darkness came a cheery hall to the en
gineer "Hello, Mike, two niintues late,
bod track ahead of you. wait till ij
see Jimmy.” Jimmy was Conductor
James Speer and Corbin brought hla
train to a stand while the man with
the lantern moved no hack alongside
01 the cars.
That is all that Engineer Corbin
knew about the holdup until he heard
the shouting of the conductor and
ethor men of the crew and the firing
of a couple of shots in the darkness.
Hut Express Messenger Reitzig was
not so blissfully ignorant about the
state of affairs. He was getting his
packages ready to throw off at Beau
mont when the train slowed down and
stopped. A moment later hearing
someone enter his car he turned pust
in time to have a six-shooter jammed
under Ills nose and to be ordered to
throNv up his hands. The man issu
ing. the order wore a black mask over
his entire face and Reitzig has been
on the road long enough to tell by the
tencs of a man's voice whether he
r
means business or not. Evidently I he
gentleman who bad entered the ex
press ear meant business and the
messengers' hands went promptly up
over his head.
Then the bandit went to the leather
P< uch which contained the valuable
express packages and began to fumble
over the contents.
"Got that fourteen thousand in pa
per. haven't you. Otto?" mumbled the
bandit, and then he drew the package
of bills from the bag and backed to
the door. A moment later he had
jumped from the train and was gone
In the darkness.
By this time the conductor and
brakeman were moving forward to see
what had caused the stoppage and
they found the express messenger lr
a state of surprised collapse in his car
and absolutely no trace of the robber.
The fact that the man who got
away with the fourteen thousand dol
lars knew the names of the engineer
and express messenger leads to the
belief that the job was done by some
local man, but so far not the slightest
trace of the robber has been found.

MANY ARRESTS
MADE IN PARIS
special Nugget Servicn.
PARIS, March 20.—As an after act
to the excitement of the past few days
when rumors of royalist risings and
the overthrow of the republic spread
it out the city and caused the govern
ment to take strong precautionary re
pressive measures and to fill the city
with armed men there has come a
date of reaction and there is more
oyalty to the republic in evidence
than for many years.
However, the government is not at
ill on a firm basis as regards the
ministry, which may fall at any mo
ment. This will simply mean that
ither republican ministers will replace
those now in power and that the
x.untry will proceed as at present.
While all danger of revolt, if it
really ever existed, has passed the
results of the royalist agitation are
.till manifest. Numerous arrests have
>een made by the police of men well
mown to favor the re-establishment
>? the monarchy and even some of the
leputles are kept under servaillance
»y the secret police.
While there was never the slightest
danger to the state from the some
what pictueaque "uprising" in favor
of a king the authorities do not be
lieve that a policy of ignoring the con
spiracy is compatable with the best
interests of the republic and any man
against whom suspicion is directed
stands a very good ehance of tit least
having to explain to a magistrate
v/hat his sentiment in regard to gov
ernment are.
Paris has resumed the normal life
again and there is no evidence of any
internal trouble in the country save
the usual political agitation against
the ministry.
The acts of violence which are de
0
plored in conectlon with politics seem
to have had a sobering effect upon the
peoplo as well as upon the deputies
and the business of government is
proceeding with a calmness which 13
quite distinctive from the heat and
excitement of the last month. The
reaction may in the end prove a bene
fit to the present ministry.
