Canon City, Cot., Sep. 1. Seven men
held up the east bound Kio Grande train
last night nearCntopaxi. The highway
men compelled the flagman at Texas
creek to give m all the torpedoes in his
possession, and also forced him to flag
1 he train. As soon as it stopx'd the
engineer and fireman were dcliUrately
held up at the point of rifles. Fireman
Owen was relieved of his gold watch and
then at the muxzlc of seven rifles he was
forced to pick the lock and break in the
doors of the baggage car under fire from
the express messenger, who knewjthat
something was wrong.
The fight was a fierce one. though it
lasted only a lew moments. Then one of
the masked men placed the muzzle of a
revolver against the express messenger's
temple ami be at once opened the sale
door. The highwaymen took $;t,(!U0
Iron) the strong box. Horses were in
readiness and as soon as the robbery was
accomplished they fled to Wet mountain
valley. They did not disturb the passen
gers. A posse was summoned by the sheriff
and left for the scene at once. Trinidad
