The lllessenger obeyed. The safe in the car contained 826,000 In money and bullion. The rubber coolly called to the fireman of the train for help and the robber. still wearing his mask. gathered up some bags of money and with the fireman ‘III the lead. and also carrying bags of coin. started up the mountain side. At a point about 300 yards up the incline the two men laid down their burden and the firemen was ordered back to his train. It looked as though one of the most daring train robberies; ever attempted in the eastern country had been sue- cesnl‘uily accomplished, as the high- wnyman had everything his own way. At this juncture. however, two 'or three of the passengers who had been aroused by the unusual stop came on the scene and their presence encour- aged the trninmen to offer resistance. The rubber opened fire, but the only damage he inflicted was to send a bul- lot. through the hand of Conductor Is- aac R. Poi'fenlarrgvr. one of the oldest and best known conductors In the ser- vice of the company. Realizing that his game was .up, the lone highway- man grabbed a bag of money and fled to the mountains. leaving practically rill of his booty where the fireman had deposited“ for bin). The motley is not yet checked up. but it is believ- ed about 81.000 was taken. Some of the bags contained 5100 each In pennies. and it to probably one of those the rubber is dragging over the moun- tain. ,The. company's detective force was pllt to work promptly. Ill addition the Baltimore at Ohio Railroad Com» pany was called upon and its detective force Is on the way to the scene with A pack of bloodllounds. The train consisted of two engines, three express cars and two sleepers. The signal cap plat-ed on the track brought the train to a stop to ascer- tain the cause. Engineers John Long and flutter Ilenhm, on ultgbling from their cabs were confronted by a lllnak~ ed man with two rcvo vers, who order- ed "Hands tip." which order 'was promptly obeyed. Conductor I. R. Poffenberger. of Iial~ risburg, came up at this juncture and taking in the shunt u, started to run for the rear of the rain. The robber filed five shots at him. one taking ef fect ill the right hand. He then or- dered thr- express car opened, threat- ening to blow It up with dynamite. The car was opened and at the direction of the robber the money bags were carried to the side of the tracks. When all much money was sucked up as one man could carry the trainmen were ordered back to their positions and the train moved off. It is thought about 8,000 was secured. Several of the bags contained pennies which were found this morning near the scene of Only one. man was seen by the traiumen. Later investigation disclosed six sticks of dynamite bo- tween the tracks at the point where the cap exploded. This Is accepted as evidence that It was the itneution of the robber to blow up the train. Pittsburg. Pl. Aug. Ills-The offic~ lals of the Pennsylvania Railroad here confirm the robbery of train N0. 39 near Lewlstown, Pa. early today. They said: "We are sorry to say the train was held up and rubbed. One of our em- pioyes was shot ill the hand. His in- jury is slight. From reports at band now it appears the robber—there was only one——dld not got much money. In the express car was over 85.000 Ill bul~ lion as well as a large amount of bin- coln pennies.
