ROBBERS STOP TRAMCAR.
(J PASSENGERS FIRED'ON. By TelczraDh—Press-Association—Copyright. (Eec. Jan. 27, 0.20 a.m.) New York, January 26. Masked robbers boarded an electric car on the outskirts of Santa Monica, a fashionable watering-place near Los Angeles. They fired bullets through the roof, and ordered t'ho motor-man, to s-ecuro tho jewels and money of the twenty-two passengers. One passenger fired, wounding a robber, who replied: The bullet pierced tho passenger's coat, but dropped -harmlessly into his pocket. The desperadoes fled, but tho Sheriff's posse later captured the wounded robber. The bullet had perforated both his cheeks. A second passenger was shot in tho chest duriug the robbers' first 'fusillade. Santa Monica is 17 miles distant from Los Angeles, and is reached either by rail, or by the Los Angeles and Pacific electric car, which makes the trip in an hour. The service is a frequent one, cars running every half-hour over either one or other of four routes. The lines run through residential suburbs.
