TRAIN ROBBERIES
AN ARIZONA EPISODE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, May 15. The train from Chicago to Los Angeles was stopped at Tucson by eight robbers placing torpedoes on the track. They cut the train in two, taking the mail car five miles along the line. When the robbers prepared to dynamite the safe, Harold Stewart, an express messenger, fired with a heavy rifle, killing one bandit and injuring two others. The rest took flight. A posse of a hundred cowboys are to-day pursuing them towards the Mexican border.
