Robbers Leave Train.
"About one-half mile north ofi

this being about one and one-fourth I
j miles from the point where they had j

[that- the little man did all the talk-;
i in?r, the big man keeping more or!
'less in the shadow. Peterman wasj
jasked once or twice if the bands i
I around liis wrists were too tight, and!
' !
| was told that if they were, they
| would be made more comfortable.
'"After the men leaped from the
coach. I'elerman says he stood up on
a barrel and reached the signal cord j
Sand stopped the train. When the
conductor found out what had happened,
he at once ran the train back
to the point where it was thought j
the snfc had been dumped off. Fail-;
ing to lind it, he carried his- train
on to JJlythewood, where he met a
freight coming towards Columbia. He
told the crew what had happened and
asked them to look out for the safe.
"Peterman went on to Rock Hill:
and came back on No. *31 to Blythe-j
wood where he was met by me. I j
had been informed of the robbery ;

"We searched the roadbed care- i
t i
fully for three miles but could not j
find even a scrap of paper to indi-j
