”This story about a bang out west
' scheming to hold up a train with Vander—
snd other rich meat on It,"
remarked a detective tosWsshIngtcn Star
reporter. "reminds me of one similar that
occurred In my haillwlck when I was
working in California. "
"As to bowl" questioned the reporter. .
“A chap out there came to me inches
the fellow did In the case of this detective
’sndsald bewasone of a gang that was
. millionaires aboard, but that as I
had been a friend to him when he needed
it. which was true, or he would have then
been wearing the air! he was going to
give the snap awayt tlooked to me to be
the chance of in Its, sin! I at once began
$1115 to hold up a traln with a lot of
.orrstiontto thwart the robbers. I told
I
chaptogo ahead and help thegang
get ready for the train, and that when It
was held up they would hear something
drop, and that he had better keep In a safe
place or It might be hlm along with the
others. The train loft Frisco one night
at 0 o'clock, and I was informed that the
holdup was to take place In a lonesome
spot about an bear out of Frisco. I had
a carload of armed men ready.
"As we struck the dangerous place I
was pretty nervous, and so was everybody
else, but we meant business and braced up
with a drink or two for whatever work we
might have. It came at last with a light
on the track, where a man stood swinging
a lantern, and the train pulled up. As It
stopped there was a volley of half a dozen
shots poured Into the traln from the woods
near the track, which my men responded
to on the spot, much to my chagrin, for I
had wanted the robbers to board us, where
we could have them In good shooting po-
sltlon. My men were green, though, or at
least most of thorn were, and they were so
rattled by the volley that they forgot what
they wore doing and banged away.
“Nothing was left then but to give
chase, which we' did for a few. hundred
yards through the woods, but they got away
In the dark, and we found nothingpcopt,
as we came back to the trnln. my friend,
the Informer. Him we found lying in the
gutter on top of his lantern, scared balf‘to
death. We took him In, and as the train .
pulled out I explained his part In the
aflslr, and tho millionaires were so pleased
with his heroic conduct in saving thorn
that they made up a pony purse of 81.500
and presented it to him on the spot and
oflercd him a railroad job where he might
have a chance to lend a new life.
~“Ho took the money and the job, and
the next time I saw him he was in jail at
Skcramonto with a bullet hole In I1Im.Bc
fore he quit living, however, be told me
with a laugh that the hold up was a fake
from start to finish and that his wife dld
the shooting from the woods with a re-
volyer and ran away as fast as she could.
They figured that the rich men would

didn't get more than {100 It would have
repaid them amply for all tbelr expense
and trouble. As for the risk, there wasn't
any. I was glad nobbdy heard the scoun
