news sent to the local office Three men are known to have done the work Two boys who got on the blind baggage here as soon as the holdup began entered the passenger coaches and began holding up the pas ¬ sengers They were captured They say two of the men were on the blind baggage when they got on and that tae third got on at Ballard- All were dressed in raincoats and had slouch hats on So far as reported no one has been killed but it is reported that Charles Anderson the express messenger is slightly wounded Manager Waring of the Great North- ern ¬ Express company said last night- he did not know the contents of tae safe but believed it was a small sum After securing the contents of the safe the three men started off In an easterly direction- It is believed that other members of the gang are ahead of the scene of the holdup and the robbers joined taem The train was standing near the brick 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 train stopped the baggage and express car was uncoupled by one of the robbers and the engineer invited to pull ahead which he did for several hundred yards when he was again commanded- to stop Two of the robbers then jumped off making the engineer and fireman do tae same and all marched to the bag ¬ gage car door The messenger was commanded to open the

half and then pulled into Ed ¬ munds making a brief report before proceeding to Everett The two boys claim they never met the holdups until they got on the train and are in no way connected with their

the blind baggage slipped- off and went through the train attempt- Ing to holdup the passengers They had no guns but took advantage of the timidity of the passengers while th eshooting was going on outside Tie boys who gave their names as Frank Alfred and Roland Gibbs are now in jail at Everett A passenger on the train says their method while go ¬ ing through the coaches consisted- more of a begging character than a hcldup No one was injured seriously al ¬ though a continual fire of revolvers- was kept up Stories differ as to the number of robbers engaged in tae job There were at least four or even more The express messenger says he does not know how much was obtained by the holdups The local safe was not molested- EstimatedLosa 5000000 Manila Oct 4The estimated loss in the

Manager Waring of the Great North-ern

¬

Express company said last night-he did not know the contents of taesafe but believed it was a small sumAfter securing the contents of the safethe three men started off In an easterlydirection-

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

No one was injured seriously al ¬

though a continual fire of revolvers-was kept up

Stories differ as to the number ofrobbers engaged in tae job Therewere at least four or even more

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