Crawfordsville , Ind Aug 13 -- As the eastbound
mail train started from Crawfordsville Junction last night, an attempt
was made by half a dozen men to rob the car of the Adams Express
Company. When on the edge of the woods, near the junction, C.W. Julier,
the messenger, noticed several men hanging on the outside of the car and
attempting to enter. He called to them to get off, when two of them men
discharged their revolvers. Julier quickly opened fire and the
strangers released their hold and fled across the fields. People running
from the junction to the scene of the skirmish found a man lying in the
ditch with a bullet hole in his side. He claims to have had no
connection with the would-be robbers who shot at the messenger and ran
away. He says he was stealing a ride. He gives the name of Ed Brown of
Cleveland. He is in the Crawfordsville Jail in a serious condition.
