He Captures a Train Robber at Black Bear

Hold Up With a Winchester—Glazier Grabs the Gun and Pounds the Scoundrel

June 30, 1893—Guthrie Daily News-- The train No. 408, which left this city at 3:20 yesterday, was attacked by train robbers just north of Black Bear station.

It appears that one of the robbers boarded the train at the station and secreted himself in the closet of the smoking car. When Conductor Glazier was passing the car the robber jumped out and covered him with a Winchester rifle, and at the same time demanded that the conductor throw up his hands, which, under the circumstances, were complied with. The next order was to pull the bell cord, which was also complied with. When the train had reached a standstill the desperado ordered his man out of the car to the ground, closely following him. A demand was made then that the conductor go to the engine. At this instant Conductor Glazier says in a telegram to United States Marshal Grimes as follows: "I saw my opportunity and jerked the rifle out of his hands and hit him over the had a blow that brought him to the ground. After capturing him I found that he had on his person two revolvers, four sticks of dynamite with fuse already attached. What shall I do with him? I think I better take him to Wichita.

The prisoner stated that two companions with the horses were waiting for him near where he intended to hold up the train. The robber was turned over to Deputy Marshal Heck Thomas, who wired last night that he would go on to Wichita last night and return to Guthrie with the robber today on the 1:10 train.
