Some fifty shots were fired, and one man. was sliohtly wounded in the hand. Another report says two men were killed. T'ifty mounted and armed men are leaving her for McNeill. It is said there were fifteen in the party. They first raptured the operator before the arrival of the train, and as soon as the train drew in they boarded it, attacking the onoineer and express messenger The express was robbed, but the amount taken was not ascertained.
