see.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 27.-For sew
eral years passenger trains in Texas,
Missouri, Colorado and elsewhere have
been held up by bands of masked men,
who robbed the passengers, express
companies, mails. etc., and in many in
stances killed OF wounded persons who
were brave enough to defend property
in their possession. The railroad, state
and express authorities offered large re-
wards for the capture of the daring
highwaymen, but without effect. Early
in December last train on the st. Louis
Il Arkansas Railroad, near Genoa, Ark,
was signaled by red lights and as the
engineer brought 1t to a stop he was I'M
mediately confronted by the revOlverS
in the hands of masked men, who COM
PEELED him to accompany him to the ex-
press car, which was forced open and
soon deSpOiled of its most valuable con-
tents, despite the resistance of the mes
senger in charge. The robbers fed to
the woods and soon after were pursued
and overtaken by the sheriff and posse,
but after a running fight, in which
many revOlverS were emptied. the
thieves escaped. AS this was the first
successful attempt in many years to
depredate upon the Southern Express
company, its officials. with the cO-Opera-
tion of President Fordyce, of the rail-
road company, Immediately placed the
matter in charge of PinkertOn'S agency,
with directions to use every meani
to capture the gang. Detectives were
sent to the scene, where was found a
''slicker," or oil-cloth coat. This gar
ment was made in st. Louis, and inves-
tigation there elected the names of
stOre-k eeperS in Arkansas and Texas
who were purchasers of such goods.
Each of the latter were visited in turn
without results, until dealer in Waco,
Tex, not only recognized the coat, but
accurately described the man to whom
it had been sold. This clew, coupled
with other circumstances, led to the
arrest, in the interior of Texas, of a man
named Brock, who was brought to Tex
arkana. and there fully identified by
the engineer of the ''held-up'; train as
the man who held revolver to his head
while going to the express car. AS
denial was useless, PinkertOn's men
then induced Brock to admit not only
his participation in the affair, but also
to reveal some much-needed infOrma-
ton. As result, two men were arrested
Sunday last by the chief of police of
Montgomery, Ala. One escaped. The
other is James Burrows. Reuben Bur-
rows, who escaped, did so by killing his
pursuer. He is now hiding in swamp.
1t now tranSpires that the prisoner,
James Burrows, has been the organizer
as well as leader in all the train rob-
berries which have occurred for the past
several years. James Burrows. heavily
irOned, arrived here this morning from
Montgomery, and left by direct train
for Texarkana in the custody of officers

7. II. SteenStra, a printer of the

lows: II stood on the rear platform of
the end car, together with number of
others. When the train reached the
brow of the hill | felt her gradually
hill was reached, there came distinct
jar. l realized at once that something
had gone wrong and called out to my
companions to jump. None did SO.
Just at this time man came rushing
through the car and ordered one of the
passengers to put on the hand brake,
which was done. The brake
seemed to have but little eff
feet in checking the train,
for just as the curve was reached
at the foot of the hill, the rear or passen-
ger car jumped the track and capsized
towards the left. l was thrown to the
ground and dragged a distance of about
forty feet. l then succeeded in eXtricat-
ing myself from the wreck more fright
i ened than hurt. Within the car all was
confusion, the passengers being all hud-
died together and bawling loudly fol-
help. In short time few of the pas
. sengers who had escaped from the car
, righted the disabled coach and the in
/ jured were taken out through the rear
