TWO KINDS OF ROBBERS.
And the Official Bank Robber IL
Worse than tho Road Agent.

A few years ago the noted train robbers,
Underwood Bass and Collins, were operat-
ing quite extensively in Texas. On one
occasion the daro.devils boarded train be-
tween Dallas and Houston. Underwood
took charge Of the engine, that u.s. he
jumped ON the engine and with drawn
pistol ordered both the engineer and fire.
man to hands up" This order, IL is need
less to say, was obeycd. The other two
robbers circulated through the cars. They
did not harm or rob passenger, but stole
about $4,000 out of the express car.
While sitting on the engine Underwood
espied chest, which he opened. The chest
contained 1915
who's money is thisP' asked the de-
sporadic.
Mime" said the fireman. at Is money
/ saved up to send homo to mother"
Underwood closed the chest and said, II
don't want It; am not robbing people of
your kind I'm after bigger game"
Tho robbers got through their work In
quick order and left, and were never cap
tured, but two Of them, Collins and Bass,
were killed some time afterward by ran
gers.
When the train reached Houston the
fireman deposited his money in u bank at
that place. A day or two afterward the
president of tho bank ran away with the
funds of the institution including the 1915.
One day tho fireman was relating his ILL
luck, and said that he would much rather
have had the train robber to got his savings
than the bank official who had always
figured in the community in which he lived
as pious man.
The distinction between the train robber
and the bank robber is, after all, very
great. Tho former runs the risk Of getting
his head blown OFF and scarcely ever has an
opportunity to spend his plumber, while
the latter, as a general rule, skips over to
Canada, buys judge or two, cheats the ex-
tradition laws and passes his days in COM
fort and ease feasting on his ill-gotten
gains.
If anything the train robber is a better
man than bank-robbing president.
