D~esperadOes Attack a Train.
KANSAS CRY (Mo.), July 16.-A train
robbery occurred last night on the Rock
Island road at Winslow station, near Cam
eron Junction. When the train which left
this city last night in charge OF Conductor
Westwell reached that point at $3.50, agang
of desperadoes appeared and side-tracked
the train, and the ears were boarded. The
conductor was killed and the passengers
robbed. 1t was impossible to get any par
ticulars up to a late hour. Wlnslow Is in
an open prairie country, and would seem
to be the last place on the line the robbers
would select for such an operatian, but the
vicinity has a very hard population, and it
is not improbable that the outlaws would
be assisted in their efforts to escape pur-
suit. The report of the robbery when re-
ceived in this city started numerous ru-
mors about the notorious James brothers,
but all speculation is idle at present.
