In pursuance of his instructions they quietly approach and surround a lonely, isolated wayside station, .and quickly overcoming the agent, bind him securely and lock him in the cabin. Proceeding about two miles up the track the leader disguises as a railroad man, and taking a red flag signals the limited to stop whilst the rest of the gang remain secret under cover of the woods alongside. As the heavy engine and train comes to a sudden standstill the men rush out of the cover, and before the crew or passengers can grasp the situation, they hold them covered with their guns. Some climb up into the cab to the engine and take care of the engineers, while others proceed to the baggage wagon and after a short fight with the expressman secure the bags of valuable mail, which they carry to a spot in the woods a few yards distant. Meantime the agent's son and daughter, as was their custom, have proceeded to the station with his dinner. They find him unconscious, and soon ascertain what has taken place. It is the work of a few moments for them to see the bandits' tracks and following under cover of the woods, they arrive on the scene in time to see the mail bags being hidden in the woods. With the aid of his sister the boy takes his place inside an almost empty bag while she turns to get assistance. The mail having all been take, the robbers line up the passengers and take their valuables, then bidding them re-enter the train and keeping all still covered with their guns, they order the engineer to put on full speed and get away. As soon as the train is out of sight they return for the mail and slinging it across their saddles proceed to their meeting place, a lonely log cabin in the depth of the dense woods. When there a quarrel arises between two of the bandits and during the excitement the boy cuts his way out of the mail bag, climbs on a horse and gallops back to the station. Here he finds the sheriff and his posse have just arrived and turns and leads them to where the bandits were hidden. Coming on them unawares, it is an easy task to surround them, and after a short skirmish to effect the capture of the survivors. After burning their log cabin they lead them off as captives to get the severed sentence they so richly deserve. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
