Passengers glanced apprehensively at the pistol, and then at the desert country rolling behind them at 50 miles an hour, and tried to believe that they were living in 1932. Three miles out of Deming, N. the bandit commanded Wilson to stop, and jumping from the coach, ordered him to drive on. Wilson reported the holdup to Deming authorities, and a hunt was organized.
