TRAIN HELD UP.
BANDITS IN AMERICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.-—Copyright. Received May 16, 5.5 p.m. _ New xorK, May 15. > A Golden State Limited crack passenger train from Chicago to Los Angeles was stopped by eight robbers placing torpedoes on the track, which 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, opened fire with a heavy rifle, killing one bapdit and injuring two others. The rest took to flight, and a posse of a hundred cowboys are to-day pursuing them towards the Mexican border. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
