THE MORXIXG OREGOyiAX,' TKIDAr. DEdDIBEIt 18, 1903.
TRAIN HELD UP;
CAR IS LOOTED
(Continued from Fir it P&rs.)
Jreman In a corner of the cab, two ,ot
the robbers turned thlr attention to the
express cars.
Making their way from the rear, the
two used dynamite and nitro glycerine
to effect an entrance. Three explosions
took place. Finally the door was blown
down and the two rushed In through
the smoke, covering O. H. Huff, the ex
press messenser. with revolvers.
Messenger Tells Story.
"By throwing; an electric flashlight
Into my eyes they blinded me for a mo
ment and covered me with their guns
ua they entered the car," said Huff last
night. 'They menaced me with their
rnn and compelled me t, open the safe.
They then took all it contained, a few
pmall packages, the value or which I
(Jo not know. Apparently disgusted with
the result of the nighf s work, they held
me up and took aU the change I had,
J3.30.
One Blackened; One Masked.
One of the men appeared to be a
Swede, and had his face blackened. The
othir waa a tall man, apparently an
American, and. wore a, mask. How the
other two were dreswed or what mey
l.tnked like. I am unable to say.
They did not enter the roiulcar at all
and after taking tvt lew packages from
the express company's aafe, they dropped
Off In the darkne.-w and disappeared
Tie rot.be rr to strikingly like two stm
Hr cases within a few mllea of last
night s hold-up within the past few years.
Tne methods followed were practically
rh. Mime as those followed last night.
Howevr. several men -were convicted of
complicity in the robbery and were sent
to the penlentiary.
Officers J.fvt lor Scene.
A rpe-lal train, carrying twveral prain
flothea men and a squad of uniformed po
lice, tn command of a sergeant, left the
fnloo Depot for the scene of the hold
up a few minutes after 10 o'clock: At the
ame time an automofbile. containing
number of detectives and preaa repre
sentatives, left with bloodhounds. Each
party was thoroughly armed and-prepared
for a hard man-hunt.
Sheriff Stevens' force was among the
Erst to take an active part 1n the tiunt
and Deputy Beatty accompanied the spe-
-!al train to the scene, of the troume.
From the manner in which the Job was
Jone tt Is the opinion of officials that a
t,niim of the iranjc of train robbers which
hiive been operating on the line of the
CSreat Northern have shifted the base 01
operations to the Coast.
Fireman Tells of Hold-Vp.
II. H. Bon. the fireman, after being
command-si to throw up his hands and
afterwards shot at while making his
eseaoe. was worn out from Ills exciting
experience when the train drew Into the
Vnkm Depot last night. B.n ana ine
fr.gineer. Owrge Donlon, remained at the
station only a short time, leaving titer
In the SDecial car which returned with
crew of detective to the. bctm of the
robtery.
"We. were two miles ' this side of
Carney when Donlon and I were
startled when we heard the conimano,
rhrnw tin tour hands" Turning
around, we taw two masked men with
guns aimed at u... Behind them was
another man without a ma-'k. I was so
excited at the time that I could not

excitement I was laboring under.
couldn't do this fast enough, so they
started tn to do It themselves. While
they were doing this I made a break to
jrrt away and stumbled. One of the men
took a shot at me and I then started off
as fast as I could go. One more shot
was tired but It did not reach me.
manajted to reach the observation car
and told the conductor. Will Dunn, what
had happened and we went to a fartn
hoi:se and telephoned to Superintendent
Buckley and the Police Department. We
went back to the train and in a few
minutes the engine was attached and we
Started for Portland. "While I was en
deavoring to uncouple the car the express
man 1n the car. evidently aware that
oomethlng was wrong, hid the money."
Pa(-songers Kenialti Cool.
Passengers In the coaches took the
holdup with great coolnesn," said Vf. C.
1'an ton, of Chicago, who was on the
train. Til fact, in the Pullman I was
traveling Is we did not know what had
happened, and it was only when I heard
the explosions that I realized there was
trouble in the front end of the train.
The whole thing was over before we had
fully realized what had happened. The
jobbers simply cut off the engine, one
baggage car and an express car, moved
them ahead abont three or four lengths,
I should say, blew up the safes, took
what they could carry off. Jumped away
In the darkness and probably boarded
street cars, and that's about all know
of the occurrence.
"There was more excitement among
the passrngers after they had found out
what had happened than when the train
bU-rped and the sound of the explosions
came to tholr ears. ' Then everybody
talked at onoe and It is astonishing what
fool suggestions were made. One woman
called out In a shrill tone. 'What sort
of men are you. anyway;. why don't you
grt out and catch those robbers?" "
The robbery last night Is identical In
nearly every particular wrth the hold-up
of a Great Northern train near Spokane
na the night of December last, by three
masked men. The presence of mind of
the fireman alone prevented the loss of
about In the express car at the
time. He was ordered to uncouple the
express and baggage cars from the train
and in doing so left one express car
en the train. This car held the money.
The robbers got practically nothing as the
result of the hold-up. but made a clean
getaway and were not captured.
Train No. 1 Is the Chicago-Portland spe
cial and carries heavy malls from The
E.wt. At this season of the year the
train hrings large quantities of registered
mall matter, as well aa heavy consign
ments of Christmas gifts, many of them
of considerable, value. The robbers no
doubt expected to find large shipments of
valuables In the express-car. oui last
eight's shipments were very light,

WASHIXGTOXv Dec. 17. Postmaster
General Meyer today announced that "he
would not renew his order issued In De
cember, lflOT, permitting delivery to charit
able organisations of letters addressed to
Santa Claus."
Numerous complaints have been made
hi- charitable organisations that owing
to the large number of such letters taken
bv the various charuanie organism""
while the order was in force, it was not
possible to Investigate each case . and
that the presents fell into the hands of
unworthy persons. The practice also was
objected to on the ground that It tended
to make begging among the children.
The Postmaster-General has directed
Postmasters to treat the "Santa Claus"
In accordance with those sections of the
postal laws which provide that letters
bearing fictitious addresses shall be Bent
to the division of dead letters, unless the
address of the senders appear upon the
envelopes.
It is estimated that more than
letters are addressed by the children of
the country to Santa Claus annually.
