No women passengers were molested. The lone robber, flourishing a revolver, made his way through the oar and forced his victim* to hand over their property, threatening to shoot if they did not comply. A good description of the road agent was scoured and Burlington t llieiftl* immndiatnlv nffnrml ? rcuard of $1,000 for his capturo and oouviction. Tho robbor boarded the train at Bcnkleman, 20H miles south of Denver, where a stop was made to cool off a hot box and take on water. After the train left Boukleuian, ho mado his way to the rear car, the Chicago sleepers and there covered Dorter Boll, Brakcman Tomiinsou with a rovolv<r and com polled tlmm to start through tho oar, drawing back the curtains from borths. The robbor confined his operations to tho men and his orders wcro sharp and to tho point. "Dig up your purses," he commanded. B. W. Wilson, of Sacramento, was in the Chicago sleeper. Mr. Wilson "dug up" $2(1 in gold and a diamond ring worth $175. 11c had otner money and his watch but tho robber overlooked thoso. "I had no time to think," said Wilson today. "Whon tho man orderod mo to dolivor my valuables 1 know that ho meant what ho said. 1 simply handed him what was. oonveni it and ho went on.

HOWTHESTORMCAME. It Was Predicted Two Days Before It Came The tcrrifio oyolono that produced such a distressing disaster in (ialveston and all through Texas was predicted by tho Unitod States weather bureau to striko Galvoaton Friday night and 'oreated much apprehension, but tho night passed without the prediction being vcriliod. The conditions, however, woro ominous, tho danger signal was displayed on tho llagstatf of tho weather bureau, shipping was warned, etc Tho southeastern sky was sombre, the Gulf beat high on the beaoh with that dismal thundorous roar that presaged troublo, whilo tho air had tho stillness that betokens a storm. From out of tho north, in tho middlo watbhos of the night, tho wind began to oomo in spitoful puffs, inorcasing in volumo as tho day dawned. Ry 10 o'clock Sunday morning it was almost a gale; at noon it had increased in vclooity and was driving tho rain, whipping the pools and tearing things up in a lively manner, yot no serious apprehonsion was felt by residents rcmoto from tho encroachments of tho Gulf. UosidontH noar tho beach were aroused to the dangor that threatened thoir homos. Stuponduous waves bogau to Bond their wators far inland, and tho pooplo bogan a hasty exit to scourc places in tho city. Two gigantio forces woro at work. Tho Gulf drove tho wavos with irrosistiblo foroo high upon tho boaoh, and tho galofrom tho northoast pitched tho waters against and over tho wharves, ohoking tho sowers and il coding tho city from that quarter. Tho stroots rapidly began to fill with water; communication bogan to bo difficult and tHh helpless pooplo wo'o caught botwocn two powerful elcmonts, whilo tho wind rapidly inorcasod in velocity. Railroad communication was out of! shortly after noon, tho track being washed out; wiro faoilitios completely failod at 3 o'olock and Galveston was isolatod from tho world. Tho wind momentarily inorcased in volooity whilo tho waters rapidly roso and tho night drow on with dreaded apprehonsion do_!.i -J il. * O * piuiou in mo iaoo 01 every ono. Already hundreds and thousands were bravely struggling with their families against the mad wavos and tioroo wind for places of refuge. Tho public school buildings, oourt house, hotols, in faot any place that offered apparently a safe refuge from the elements, became crowded to their utmost. Two minutes of 6.30 p. in., just boforo the ancmomctor blew away it had reached tho ' frightful volooity of lOOmilos an hour. Huildiugs that had hitherto stood, f tumbled and crashed, oairying death and destruction to hundreds of people. Hoofs whistled through tho air, windows were drivon in with a orash or shattered by flying slato, telegraph and electric light pole,n,i with their mat-sos of wires were snapped off liko pipe stems; and^Ntter communications were broken. What velocity tho wind attained after the anemometer blew olf is purely a matter of spcoulation. Tho lowest point touched by tho barometer in the press correspondent's offioo, which was filled by frightenod men arid women, was 28.011 2; this was about 7:80 p. m. It then begaa to riso very slowly and by 10 p. m. had readied 28 00, the wind gradually subsiding and by midnight tho storm had passed. Tho water, which had reached the depth of eight foot on tho strand at 10 o'clock p. m. bogan to obb and ran out very rapidly and by 5 a. in. tho orown of the stroot was froo of water.
