An au dacious holdup of a railroad train oc curred on the eastern slope of the Alle gheny Mountains early today. A lone highwayman with a dynamite cartridge stopped a Pennsylvania express train and at the muzzle of a revolver com pelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars from an express car to a spot in the wilderness. When the conductor, J. R. Poffenberger, attempted to in terfere he was shot In the hand. The robber escaped. In the darkness, how ever, he mistook a bag containing 10. 000 new Lincoln pennies for gold coin and staggered away with It, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered. Bloodhounds Follow Trail. When the news of the robbery reached the railroad and express of ficials, they ordered every available de tective from the East and West to the scene. Bloodhounds were also put on the track of the robber, but up to a late hour tonight no trace of the man has been found. The looted train was running through Lewlston narrows, a lonely mountain gorge through which flows the Juniata River, when suddenly a dynamite cap exploded and the engineer stopped the train. He soon was confronted by a masked figure holding a revolver in each hand. The engine crew was forced to accompany the robber to the first express car, where the messenger was looking out to discover the cause of the sudden stopping. Threatening to dynemite the car, the robber forced the messenger of the two express cars and the engine crew to carry all the gold and bullion stacked In the first car to the side of the tracks. Much Currency Is Lost. The robber then calmly ordered the crew back on the train and told them to pull out, leaving the bullion beside the track. It was discovered later by a posse sent on a special train. It is reported tonight that, in addition to the pennies, .several thousand dol lars in currency is missing, but the ex press officials refuse to announce the exact amount of their loss. Agent Hamaker, of Lewlston, sent a safe to the scene of the robbery to receive six bags of pennies, on which the seals had not been broken, but which had been cut open with a knife and abandoned by the robber in dis gust. . When the dynamite, placed on the track, exploded, the headlight glass and the windows of the engine cab were broken. One rail was torn up also. Drops Money Along Trail. With practically every ' detective and officer employed by the railroad, as sisted by special detectives of the Adams Express Company, engaged In a search for the robber, the prediction was made tonight by the Pennsylvania Railroad officials that his apprehension is but a few hours off. .

The highwayman, It is said, took $5000 in bullion and $200 in pennler from the car and all of this has been found along the trail except $65.
