Early Wednesday morning the ;
news was flashed over the wire

(There were many different ver-
sions of the tragedy,and after all
was said and sifted the only pro-
minent facts standing out amidst
the confusion were that the train
was held up east of Sanderson
by two robbers, that both of said
robbefs were killed by express
messenger Trousdalo and that the
bodies were taken into Sanderson.

attend to the passengers later on.

Conductor Erkel who was in
charge of the train telegraphed
| the story to Supt. Anderson an
follows:
“Train robbe-s got on the engine at
' Dryden, covered Engineer Grosii with
pistols and told bim to keep moving
mid stop the train just over tbe lirst
: iron bridge west of Eldridge. When
tbe train came to stop I sent Porter It
B. Robinson forward to see what the
i matter was and not coming back as I
thought, he should I went forward to
investigate. I found out what the
i matter was when I was confronted
with a Winchester. The engineer was
service rendered.
-‘ibe train wm stopped at 1 a
m., and delayed lour Hours, liotn of
too dead rubber were brought to ban-
demon just us the messenger killed
them, q'no authorities then look
charge. I used Weed s phone and bud
tbe officers coming down from Ban*
demon, but tbe messenger, judging
from tne work done, did not need any
help. ERKEL.”
