Attempted Train ROBBERY

An Associated Press dispatch from
Kansas City. dated july 22d, gives the
following information regarding the at
tempted train robbery near Lawrence on
Thursday:
The report which reached this city
late yesterday afternoon that a train on
the Santa Fc road had been wrecked
near Lawrence, by men whose intention
was to rob the eastbound express, Great
ed no little excitement. Although facts
concerning the matter were very meagrc,
there were five men in the party which
removed the rail. The boys who saw
them were waiting about the depot and
on the shady side of the depot, open the
tool house about 200 yards east of it, and
each man taking some implement
and march silently down the
track until lost to sight in the
woods. The boys thought they were
section men, and therefore said nothing
about it until after the accident. They
describe the leader as a large man, with
red whiskers, wearing dark gray pants,
striped or barred blue shirt, SLOUGH hat
Three of his companions were medium
sized men, heavy set and dressed in
dark clothes, but the fifth was slender
and apparently quite young. The rail
was removed about third of a mile
east of the depot, at point where the
track curves the river bank, and where a
dense copse shades the track. The train
from Pueblo, which was due to pass
Lawrence at 8 go a. m, had on board
"a 500 in cash, part of it in specie, but
most of it in bills. and there can be but
little doubt of the intention TO ditch and
rob it.
The train which fell into the trap laid
for the passenger was the emigrant train
which leaves this city every night about
midnight. The engine was thrown from
the track, and it, with seven cars, were
badly wrecked, but no one was killed.
The engineer and fireman jumped in
time to save themselves, and the rear
end of the train did not leave the track
