Tacoma, Oct 1 An Everett special
to the Ledger My: The Great North
ern overland due here at 9:20 Monday
night reached Everett at 12:13 o'clock
this morning. The delay was caused by
one of the boldest holdups in the his
tory of railroading on the Pacific coast
The holdup 'occurred just south of tae
brick yard, near Ballard, which is lo
cated near the ten mile post.
Three dynamite shots were put into
the through safe, the robbers working
until 9:50 o'clock before they finished
the job. They worked over an hour
and a half. Most of the contents of the
through safe wersj secured. Express
Messenger Anderson says he does not
know how much they obtained, but ssys
they left some of its contents in the
wreckage. The local safe was nol
touched.
Xo one was injured seriously, al
though a continual fire of revolvers was
kept up. Stories differ as to the num
ber of robbers engaged in the job.
There were at least three. There may
have been four, "or even more.
A torpedo on the track first attratc
ed Engineer CaWers attention. Then
another torpedo explosion came . and
then a red light was -'swung over the
track. The rain caused the engineer
some apprehension as the track near
the point of the holdup is troubled with
mud slides. He brought his train' to
a stop. bile slowing down his atten
tion was called to a robber standing
over Fireman Gorett with a gnn in his
face. Almost at the same instant an
other robber held a gun over the en
gineer's face. The bandits were masked,
wore rubber hats and rubbefr coaty,
They had crawled over the tender.
As soon as the train was stopped
these robbers took the engine men off
he locomotive and back to the baggage
ear where they compelled Express Mes
senger Anderson to leave his car.
They compelled obedience in a rough
manner, using their guns with good ef
fect, but fortunately wounding no one,
They at once began dynamiting. Ex
press Mesenger Anderson and the en
ginemen say that they were compelled
to remain with the robbers and watch
the proceedings. Three charges of dyna
mite were fired. The first was a small
affair, six sticks being used. The sec
ond contained 12 sticks and the third 18
(ticks.
The car and most sf its contents are
a total wreck. There was considerable
Two vounir fellows about 19, who
claimed to have been stealing a ride on
the blind baggage when the train wa
held up are in Jail here. They were
brought up on the train. They give
their names as Frank Alfred and Ro

isted one of the bandits to gi t on the

up. They say they were ordered to get

Wean their 'work, the bandit shoving
guns in their face. Railroad IVtevt

is "IkW Little, a character well known
to the Seattle jKilice.
Frank McCandless, formerly of Kl!en'
burg and Tacoma was a passenger. Mr.
Mi?xndles ays that after the holdup
one of these young fellows' went through
a number of passengers by passing his
hat. He went from passenger to pas.
senger exclaiming, "come help us out;
all same holdup anyway." While all
of the passengers did not eontribue,
some of the panic stricken women did.
McCandless says he saw one woman
who left the train at Everett give some
money, lie thinks the two obtained f 13
or $20 in this manner. The baggage car
is a masA of wreckage. Great holes are
blown through the side on which the
safe stood and through the roof, and it
is filled with a non-discriminate mass
of wrecked contents of trunks, fresh
fish, and other things usually carried
on a baggage car.
Former Mate Horticulturist von
Holderbcke was a passenger. He had
a dog in tha baggage car, but the ani
mal was apparently unirfjured. The
wrecked car was taken through with
the train. A train left Everett with
railroad officials and detectives inuiie
diately .after the passenger passed
through.
ine robbers were masked. There 1 a
theory here which is given considerable
credence that they came up from Se
attle in a launch and went back in the
launch immediately after the robbery
Some of the passengers on the train
say they saw the lights as of some
craft and that soon arter the robbers
left the lights di-appeared.
TALf
delay between shots. When the work
was getting under way, after the train
had been stopped, and especially after
the first shot was fired, a number of
the pas-engers attempted to go for
ward to witness operations, but their
movements were halted by fire from
revolver. A high bank was at the east
of the train and the waters of Puget
Sound cloe to the track on the west
side. Their bnllct holes through the
baggage car all struck in diagonally.
The head brakeman started back
down the track. Several shots were
fired at him, but he extinguished his
lantern and kept going. He thinks he
had gone half a mile when he was halt
ed and instructed to return to the train
by one of the bandits who had been
stationed back of the train. Conductor
Grant managed to leave the train in
spite of the hail of bullets. He ex
tinguished his light and remained where
he could observe operations, but was
unable to proceed toward the scene of
their operations. After the bandits hsd
left the scene the trainmen attempted
to tap the wire and report, and this
caused further delay. Xo attempt was
mads to rob the passengers, most of
whom were panic stricken throughout
the ordeal.
SUICIDES QUEER
leaves Note Saying His Death Resulted
From "American Duel"
Berlin, Oct 3. Police officers were
summoned by Mrs. Theobald von Bo
vens, whose husband had locked himself
in a room of their apartment Sunday,
jand would not open the door, broke it
down and found him dead. By his side
was a memorandum which stated that
before his marriage he had worked at
his calling as a wood carver in Ameri
ca, the localities not being gfre, and at
a ball one evening a young girl en
deavored to kiss him; that he repelled I
her and she drowned herself. The next I
day, uctouer l, 18W a kinsman of the
girl challenged von Bovens to a so-
called "American duel," drawing: lots to
determine which antagonist should kill
himself. Von Bovens drew black and
under agreement, w'as to kill himself in
12 years. He returned to Germany,
married, and the 12th anniversary of
the affair passed unregarded and the
succeeding one, until a short time ago
when an American named Fih arrived
in Berlin with a letter from ron Boven's
sntagonist, reminding him that he had
not fulfilled. Von Boven's had taken
cyanide potassium.
The Tagblatt says it suspects that the
incident related by von Bovens wss in
vented by the suicide.
