Good  For  Grant

The  Train  Robbers  Killed  in  Mexico  by 
Native  Troops

It  seems  that  Grant  County  has  one  thing 
to  thank  Mexican  troops  for,  and  that  is  for 
“doing  up”  the  Stein’s  Pass  robbers  and  saving 
the  expenses  of  trial  here.  Recently  United 
States  Marshal  Meade  and  a posse  who  pursued 
into  Mexico,  were  arrested  for  crossing  the  line 
without  authority,  but  the  troops  released  the 
officials  upon  orders  from  the  governor  at  Chi- 
huahua. A recent  dispatch  from  Cusihuiriachis, 
a mining  town  about  ninety  miles  west  of  Chi- 
huahua, states  that  a party  of  Mexican  federal 
troops,  accompanied  by  R.  H.  Paul,  of  the 
Southern  Pacific  railroad  company,  and  Nick 
Pierce,  of  the  Mexican  Central  Railroad,  who 
left  Chihuahua  in  pursuit  of  the  robbers,  came 
upon  Larry  Sheehan,  Jim  Johnson  and  Dick 
Hart  one  night  at  7 o’clock,  about  twenty  miles 
northwest  of  Cusihuiriachis.  The  robbers  barri- 
caded themselves  in  a house,  compelling  the 
family  to  remain  within  and  stood  the  attacking 
party  off  until  noon,  when  the  beseigers  suc- 
ceeded in  getting  the  family  out  of  the  house 
and  then  set  fire  to  it.  The  robbers  proved 
themselves  game  by  coming  out  fighting.  A 
regular  battle  occurred  between  the  authorities 
and  train  robbers  in  which  all  the  robbers, 
Sheehan,  Johnson  and  Hart,  were  killed.  The 
attacking  party  lost  one  man,  a sargeant  of  the 
Mexican  troops.
