Tlio train had left the station only long enough to get under good headway when three men swung tliemselves down into the freight car in which the Inbiring men were riding. The faces of the newcomers were hidden behind the folds of a bandkrechief tied ab tut the lower part of their faces; and in their hands were large calibered revolvers which they presented in a threatening manner and commanded the laborers to throw up their hands.
