THRILLING STORY
of the trip from Kansas City, When
the man boarded the train at that place,
no remarked that people were after him
to lynch him, and that if loft alone ho
would modest no one. AT El PasO, Illi-
nois, he became violent, and with
revolver in hand, ordered tho train
mon TO cease making some changes IN
the makeup of the train. Tho passen-
gers all left the chair car, which the
mad man made his headquarters, and
were locked into the others. None
dared approach the lunatic and after he
had exchanged several shots with the
city marshall he ordered the train TO
proceed, and from there to Chicago his
| will was the only law obeyed.
