TRAIN ROBBERY IN ILLINOIS.
An Express Messenger Killed and
Large sum Of Money Secured.


Large sum Of Money Secured.
CHICAGO, March ia Joliet special says:
One of the most daring and bloody express
robberies ever perpetrated in Illinois occurred
on the Chicago e. Rock Island and Pacific west
bound express last night between this place
gage man are that shortly after the train which
leaves here at 12:45 a. m. had left this city. he

robber, who was on top Of the car, held a re-
in the roof, while his confederate turned their
attention to the express car. It is thought
that they tapped on the express car door
and informed the messenger. H. s.
Nichols that the basgase man wanted to get
opened and the desperadoes entered.
The messenger fought for his life and the prop
car shows that he fought the robbers from one
end Of the car to the other, but at last the muir
derous blows that they rained on his head with
was lett dead in the car. The robbers rif1ed his
pockets OF the keys to the safe, which they

Morris. At Morris the local express messenger
raped on the express car door, but as the sum-
mons was not answered IL was thought the
train messenger was asleep. Upon the door Of
the car being opened the horrible evidences of
the desperate struggle and the dead body of
messenger Nichols was discovered. In one hand
the dead man had lock of dark -colored hair that
he must have torn from the head Of one Of the
assailants. News was at once telegraphed to
Ottawa, and Sheriff Reitx and Chief Of Police
Murray organized posse and started on .
special engine for Morris. A large force OF
of1icers and men from this place and Morris are
now securing the country, and It is thought the
guilty men will be captured, in which event
they will probably be lynched. The dead mes
senger was married man and lived At Chicago.
He has been in the service Of the United States
Express company about ten years. As to where
the robbers boarded the train Is as yet mere
speculation. Conductor Wagner does not re-
member having seen any suspicious characters
aboard last night, but the general opinion Is
that the gang got on the train ~ the coal chute,
two miles west of here, and jumped on just be-
fore the train reached Morris.
BIG REWARD FOR THE R0BBERA.
CHICAGO, March 13.-The Ebenia0 JosWs0l
has Information to the effect that the Rock
Island road will offer q reward OF $4,000 for
the capture OF the men who committed the
express robbery this morning and 5000 for
