From the reports published next day and from subsequent developments, we gather the follow- ing account of the fight: "When the hour for the train arrived the robbers stood under cover of darkness just behind the depot. Soon the roaring sound of the cars was heard and a few moments later the train was seen rushing in from the east. The whistle sounded and the locomotive stood at the depot. Before it had fairly ceased its puffing and snorting, the cry, 'hold up your hands! hold up your hands!' r...ang out upon the air. "Captain Julius Alvord, the conductor, who was on the sleeper, had just stepped forward to the front passenger car and on to the platform. He had his lantern in his hand. He saw some parties near him who called to him to come to them, cursing him as they did so. He managed to put out his lantern as soon as possible and step- ped on to the car, crossing over to the other side from the depot, he went imediately to the sleeping car and got a larger pistol. He had with him a small derringer.
