It is believed that other members ofthe gang are ahead of the scene of theholdup and the robbers joined taem

The train was standing near thebrick yard and as the engineer slow¬

ed up two men with raincoats climbed-over the tender and presented revol ¬

vers to his head When the trainstopped the baggage and express carwas uncoupled by one of the robbersand the engineer invited to pull aheadwhich he did for several hundredyards when he was again commanded-to stop

Two of the robbers then jumped offmaking the engineer and fireman dotae same and all marched to the bag ¬

gage car door The messenger wascommanded to open the door and refusing an extra heavy charge of dyna-

mite¬

was put against it and explodedThe explosion tore the car almost topieces The safe was then dynamited-

The train was delayed two hoursand a half and then pulled into Ed ¬

munds making a brief report beforeproceeding to Everett

The two boys claim they never metthe holdups until they got on the trainand are in no way connected withtheir work The idea to holdup thepassengers occurred to them after theexplosion

Sheriff Smith has started out with-a posse

While the robbers were engaged onthe safe the two boys who had beenriding on the blind baggage slipped-off and went through the train attempt-Ing to holdup the passengers Theyhad no guns but took advantage ofthe timidity of the passengers whileth eshooting was going on outside

Tie boys who gave their names asFrank Alfred and Roland Gibbs arenow in jail at Everett A passenger onthe train says their method while go ¬

ing through the coaches consisted-more of a begging character than ahcldup

The express messenger says he doesnot know how much was obtained bythe holdups The local safe was notmolested-
