American Side of Boundary.

he saw no po.-lbility of granting the re
quest, for, while it might be true that
disease was non-existent among cattle in
Canada, It was Indisputable that It ap
peared from time to time In the United
States with disastrous results. It was
impossible, for this purpose, he said, to
put Canada and the United States into
water-tight compartments because of the
Ions and not closely guarded boundary
line.

TRAIN HELD UP IN
CIVILIZED EAST
Lone Highwayman Leaves
Gold and Hurries Away
With Lincoln Pennies.
MAY HAVE MUCH CURRENCY
Stops Pennsylvania Train With Dy
namite Cap and Forces Crew to
. Carry Out Bullion, but He
Takes Wrong Bags.
LEWISTON, Pa., Aug. 31. 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. .
He was traced a short distance up
the mountain side, currency dropped in
his flight marking the trail.
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.
FIVE SAFES FFLL OF MOXKY
