YOUNG BANDITS
Thrashed By Railway Passengers
El Paso (Texas), November 25.
Two youths attired in ten-gallon hats, chaps and boots boarded a Southern Pacific passenger train, eliciting the smiles of fellow travellers, who eyed them obviously thinking they were tenderfoot cowboys, but their amusement turned to consternation when the masqueraders herded the crew of the train and the passengers together at the point of the gun. The robbers were later disclosed to be tyros. They nervously shot dead a trainman when he made a false move, whereupon the passengers leaped on them, captured, and so severely thrashed the pair that both are likely to die.
