Spokane, Wash., March 17.— As­
suming all the airs and authority of
a veteran postofflce inspector, a dar
ing highwayman hoarded the Great
Northern westbound Oriental L im it­
ed train Just as it pulled out of Bon
ners Ferry, Idaho, early this morn­
ing, and holding the two mail clerks
at bay at the point of a revolver
locked one of them in a clothes
closet and tied the other to a chair
with ropes, after which he rode a
distance of 106 miles into Spokane,
spending three hours and 40 minutes
riflin g registered mail, loading and
unloading mail sacks along the route
and putting complacently at a cigar
the while.
The lone robber dropped off the
train at a railroad crossing inside
the city limits, carrying with him, it
is believed, much valuable plunder In
a satchel.
Just bow much he ob­
tained is not definitely known.
Mall-clerks Benjamin Stumpf and
John W. Nysteum, who were held at
the mercy of the robber, tell a re­
markable story of their experience.
Locked in the small closet, hardly
two feet square, the latter almost
fainted from suffocation after the
train bad pulled into Sand Point, 3 4
miles west of Bonners Ferry, and
rapping on the door pleaded with the
robber to allow him some fresh air.
The bandit responded w illingly and
leaving the door ajar about an inch,
secured It with a piece o f rope. Tw ice
later on the way Into Spokane the
robber ceased his work of riflin g the
mail sacks to go to the door o f the
closet to inquire as to how Nysteuu
was feeling.
W hen Stumpf remonstrated with
his captor that the cords which
bound him were cutting into his
wrists, the genteel robber generous­
ly loosened the tetters and made
every effort to make things as com­
fortable as possible for his victim.
W hile ripping open the registered
sacks the pseudo-inspector cut one of
his fingers and many of the pieces
of mall were blood-stained.
Blood­
hounds were put on the trail o f the
robber, taking the scent from one of
the bloody packages, and followed a
trail several blocks through the resi­
dence district to a carline, where the
scent was lost, it Is believed that the
highwayman boarded a car and rode
downtown.
