BOLD BANDITS.
They Rob AN Express Car Almost With.
I'm the City Limits Of Chicago.
IChicago Tribune.l

The st. Louis express train, which leaves
Chicago at 8 p. m, usually takes out from
500 900 to $500 900, ''the rum" as it is called
in the vocabulary of the expressmen, being
the largest out of the city. The comparative
security of the read, and the absence of any
James or Younger gangs OF outlaws along
the line doubtless caused the messengers to
feel reasonably secure from assaults. The
one in charge was always armed, but his re-
volver was not kept about his person, but
within easy reach in case of an emer-
gency. 81
When the train which left the Alton de-
pot at o'clock last evening reached the
Burlington crossing three masked fnen
jumped on the platform of the express ear,
and tapped on the door. In responce to the
query, "Who are you; whatdo you want?p
one of the trio said Brakeman. +"
The door =, was opened by. the
messenger. WI. Bevier, and the Bandits
entered. In the center of the car, was a
Jorge pile OF passenger baggage and express
freight, behind which the baggageman was
at work The messenger, who was fixing
things preparatory tp checking up mis-
freight. looked up at the intruder,
and his gaze encountered ] the om-
nous CLEAN of two pistol-barrels lev
eled at his head. His own pistol was out Of
reach. One of the ruffians pointed a re-
volver at the head OF the baggageman, at the
SAINT tiluc D4ttiluicuiii3 ~ hllilt. AlNG up
yer keys, id you was the first salutation
the messenger received. Tremblingly he
,obeyed. The robbers were not experts, for in a
very bungling manner they proceeded to
unlock the safe. Having accomplished this,
they made hurried search through its con-
tents. The treasure account was light,
not exceeding 5,000 of which
$4,000 were for the paymaster of
the Alton road at Bloomington. In the
rapid scramble for wealth. the thieves
snatched what was most prominent in sight.
and in trying to fill their arms,
dropped several packages. Among them
was one containing $4,000, which
was found on the platform. An
other of SO 200 was picked up on the
| floor after the robbers took their departure
All they succeeded in getting away with was
| the Springfield bag, which contained valu.
ables to the extent of $l37 and a lot of drafts
| for collection. AT the 'red bridge" across
the Ogden slip the thieves jumped off and
ran away in the darkness.

As will be seen by our dispatches Morton
has at last found the man for whom he has
been painfully and laboriously cropping
through examination and crosse xamin
ton For days he has been on the track Of
the heartless wretch in whose behalf draft
of IS, 600 was drawn on Salem, Oregon, and
for days the organs have applauded
his zeal and assured their read
ers that the end would justify
him and reveal high handed demo-
cratic conspiracy to bride sovereign state
and subvert the governor thereof. And at
last the end has come with its justification,
such as il is, for the senator from Indiana.
Driven from one subterfuge to another and
finally from all. the expressed Runyan,
wearied of the fight, has capitulated and
confessed that the draft was drawn for the
cashier of national bank in New York.
What will be done with this unfortunate
cashier has not yet transpired. 1t may be
that Morton viii order him out to instant
execution or demand that he be sentenced
for lie to the Dry Toitugas- 1t may be that
he will charitably permit the miserable
man to go unwhipped of justice. The main
point is that ne has been found and that
the senator is relieved.
