'When three passengers on Great Northern passenger train No. 358, bound for Vancouver, B. C, under took to resist one of a pair of robbers who entered the day coach when the train was running along the edge of the bay nine miles south of here to night at 7:30 p. m., the robber pulled an automatic pistol and shot the men dead in their tracks. The dead men are: Thomas S. Wadsworth. a Canadian Pacific conductor ot Vancouver, U. C. R. L. Lee, of Bremerton, Wash. H. R. Adterson, a traveling sales man, of Vancouver, B. C. It is believed the two robbers got on the train at Burlington, a few miles sooth of the place of the hold up. They were seen to leave the smoking car and enter the vestibule between It and the day coach, where they tied white handkerchiefs about their faces. One of the men then entered the day coach and walked to the rear door, a second one stepped just Inside the coach. As the man reached the rear door and started to lock the door the three men who were killed leaped to their feet and started grappling with the robber. At that minute the bandit who was at the forward end of the coach began shooting Into the celling of the car and putting out the lights. The robber grappling with the three men then pulled out an auto- THE BIG DAYLIGHT STORE Ii Wednesday, February AN i I I 10 Free Stamps! matic revolver and began shooting. He fired probably ten shots. Lee was the first man to fall. The next two shots killed Wadsworth and Ad tersou. Lee was trying to crawl be hind the rear sent when the bandit turned his gun on him and fired five or six shots into his back. None of the shots fired by the other bandit took effect, but he kept the passen gers In a state of fright, a half dozen women fainting.
