UMON PACIFIC PURIFICATION
TELLS OF FAMOUS TRAIN
ROBBERY
In tho Novcmbor issuo of Our Fam
ily Bulletin, publlshod by tho Union
Pacific Family the following Btory la
retold for tho information of Uio
Union Pacific employees. It Is worthy
of being roprlntcd far und wldo:
"Pensioned Englncor Gcorgo A.
Austin of North Platto, who watt re
cently in tho Bulletin offtco, is fltlll
wearing tho gold watch that wub pre
sented to him by the old Pacific Ex
press company, on account of tho part
he tflayed In frustrating tho robbors
who hold up train No. 8 noar Brady
Island, Neb., August 21, 1895, This
robbery was formerly known among
tho railroad men as tho 'Buttormllk
Hill hold up.
"Tho train was olovun hours lato
and passed through Brady about 1
o'clock in tho morning. A fow mo
ments later Mr. Austin wub surprised!
to hoar tho fireman oxclalm. 'Look'
out! Don't BhootI,' On turning around,
ho saw two bandits on tho coal In
tho tank with Winchester rifles
lovolod nt them. (IIo at first supposod
that thoy woro ordering him to stop,
and started to shut off, when thoy
directed him to proceed eastward till
thoy came to a dosortod house noar
tho track.
"Austin and his fireman, Tom
Duko, woro taken back to tho exprosa
car, whoro Austin was directed to un
couplo tho train. Undor protonso of
nttomptlng to do this ho consumed n
largo amount of tlmo, finally claim
ing that ho could not accomplish tho
task, his object boing to dolay tho
gamo as much as posslblo In the hope
that succor might como. Occasional
rlflo shots kopt tho ptiSHongcrs in
flido. Tho headlight hud boon shot
out.
"One of tho bandits then ordorod
lilm toi knock on tho door of tho ox
press car, which ho was compelled to
do. stopping long enough to avoid n
possible bullet from tho mossongor.
Whon tho door was opouod ono of
tho robbers wont lnsldo, hold up tho
massongor, MoCarl, and compollod
him to opon tho local safo, which for
tunatoly contnlnod only $12.80 in
monoy. Ho thon ordorod tho me
Bongor to open tho through safo,
which, of course, ho waB unublo to
do on account of which ho camo
noar losing his Hfo. Tho bandit ac
cordingly Hot to work to dynamite
tho safe.
At this tlmo tho othor robbor was
holding Austin and Duko In tho bor
row pit, whoro thoy woro lying flat
to avoid danger from tho coming ex
plosion. During this porlod Austin's
head was working. Ho aakjod his
guard for ipormlsBion to go back to
tho onglno, explaining that as ho had
boon away from It for somo tlmo
thoro was danger of tho boiler blow
ing up. This permission tho bandit
refused to grant, but finally allowed
tho fireman to go.
"Tho flromon roadlly comprohondod
Austin's doslgn and presently Aus
tin's trained cars caught Uio souud
of hisBlug causod by uncoupling tho
air hoso. A momont lator tho fireman
Btartcd eastward with tho enflno as
fast as alio would run to spread tho
alarm.
"In tho meantime tho through safo
OH
jfe43 .-wsaaa --:::::50wns
had boon dynamited, with tho result
that tho outer door was blown ofi
but tho Innor door held firm. The
bandits, now that tho onglno was
gone, dared wait no longor, but ran
to tho vacant houso near where their
horses woro tethered, cut through the
Btraps with their knives and started
northward through tho darkness.
Fireman Duko ran to Gothenburg,
gavo tho alarm and returned in n
short tlmo with a largo posse.
Tho robbors in their wild lllght
finally ran Into n .barbod wlro fence,
disabling ono of their horses. Tho
two of thom thon mounted tho othor
horno on whtfh thoy rode until it
gavo out and thoy woro forced to con
tlnuo on foot. A fow days lator thoy
xunm fnttiirm1 wtilln hftflilntr In n
Btroam. Thoy woro given ton year
sontancos.
Among thoso participating in tho
chaso woro: William T. Canada, chief
special agent; John Kolth a large
ranchmnn living at Sutherland, Nobr.
(A closo frlond of Buffalo Bill) ; "Bob
Sutherland, Assistant Superintendent
T. C. Kollhor, now Spoclal Agont for
tho Illinois Central at Chicago; and
Peto Llnard, an offlcor of tho law, at
that tlmo known by tho sobriquet of
"Rattlosnako Potq".
Tho ontlro loot of tho robbors con
sisted of $12.80 and somo checks and
non-nogotlablo papers.
If thoy had succecdod in oponlng
tho through soft?, tho story would
havo boon a different ono; howovo;,
tho boldness of tho affair attracted
much nttontlon and tho press was
flllod with accounts of it for many
days afterward. ,
Tho onglno was No. 842; built In!
tho Union Pacific shops at Omaha.!
Tho wrltor of those lines, thon a'
cub claim agont, was "on this train
with Colonel Kolth from Sidnoy t"
Sutherland, whoro thoy allghtod and
wont to bed. About two a. m- they
woro routed out of bod by a mes
songor with tho news that tho train
liad been hold up at Brady. Colonol
Kolth was wanted on account of his
great knowledgo of tho topography of
tho county. A Bpoclal stop was made
by tho fast mull t) tnko us on board,
and wo arrivei' at tho scono about
daylight. Tho wrltor has always re
gretted having mlssod hlB only op
portunity to bo nblo to boast of hav

DEATH, WHERE'IS THY
850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 Re
lief When 65,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three disasters, resulting in
the death in the United States of 850
persons and the injury of 2,500 colled
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
American Bed Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1021, says an
announcement baaed upon tho forth
coming annual report of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam
age estimated at $30,000,000, affected
sixty-seven communities and rendered
09,000 families homeless.
Tho year's disasters were of vary
ing types, including several which pre
viously hnd never been thought of
aa falling within that classifica
tion. The Red Cross furnished
relief In seventeen fires of magnitude,
five floods, seven tornadoes or cy
clones, ono devastating storm, three
explosions, including the ono In Wall
street; ono building accident, two
typhoid epidemics, tho most serious be
ing that at Salem, Oho, which af
fected 0 per cent of the population;
one smallpox epidemic, in the republic
of Haiti ; one train wreck, the raco riot
at Tulsa, Okla.; the famine In China,
emergency relief In famine among the
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague In North Dakota and nn earth
quake In Italy. I
Pueblo Most Serious
By far the most severe of the dis
asters in the United States during the
porlod covered by the Red Cross re
port was tho Pueblo flood early In
June, 1021. The rehnbllltntlon prob
lorn confronting the Red Cross In
Puoblo wns one of the most difficult
In recent years. When the first news
of tho horror was Hashed throughout
the country, tho American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre
ciating the long and successful experi
ence of the Red Cross In organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility for the admlnlutra
tlon of rcllof In Its hands.
In response to nppeals from Presi
dent Harding. Governor Shoup and
other governors of western stntes and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organiza
tions, publlc-splrltod citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re
habilitation to more than $325,000.
Tho terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter of record.
More than 2,300 homes were nffocted
and 7,351 persons were left homeless.
Estlmntes of ?500,000 ns nn absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Rod Cross officials In charge of ths
relief work.
Fast Work In Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was notn
ble in that relief workers of the Red
Cross wore on tho scene twenty min
utes nfter the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique In
disaster relief annnls In that outsldo
of a small emergency relief fund con
tributed by tho Rod Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con
sisted of tho servlco of social work
ers, nurses and a trained exccutlvo
whoso object was to assist local forces
la directing their own efforts.
Ln decided contrast with the pre
vious yenr, only ono tornado assumed
the proportions of a major dlsnster.
This occurred on April 15, In tho bor
der sections, of Texas and Arkansas
STING?
with the city of Texarknna as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered so much 'rural territory as
to make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine In China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious of the
foreign disasters In which the Red
Cross gave aid.
' Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra
tion of disaster relief measures, an In
creasing effectiveness on the pnrt of
the Red Cross to deal with emergen
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 328 Chapters of the Ameri
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the ro
sources of their respective communi
ties and to be prepared In case of
disaster. In others of the 3,402 active
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which Instan
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That Its work In this field mny be
continued with ever greater effective
ness, the American Red Cross Is ap
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during Its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November 11 to 24.
