BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS
THEY GET AWAY WITH 100000 FROM
THE PACIFIC EXPRESS COMPANY.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Aug. 1S.-The
safe of the Pacific Express company was
robbed of 100000 by train robbers on
the Missouri Pacific railroad yesterday
morning. The train. which was the
Kansas City limited express No. 3, Aft
Upton. No, at about a. m. Two
mysterious figures were seen by the en-
gineer lurking around the forward end
of the train. but no particular attention
was paid to them. Just after leaving
Upton the fireman turned toward the
tender to fire up the engine and looked
squarely into the muzzle of two re-
volvers in the hands of two masked
men, who were lying on their faces on
the top of the coal. One of the bandits
covered the fireman with his revolver,
while the other took care of the engl-
neer. They were told to hold up their
hands and the engineer
Ordered to Run the Train
to Otterville water tank in Robbers
cut" Just east of Otterville. When
Robbers cut was reached the engi-
neer was commanded to go to the ex-
press car and tell the messenger to open
the door. He did so under the threat OF
death if he should fail. When he
reached the express car he found the
two robbers had five confederates sta
toned at convenient places about the
car, all heavily armed and their faces
concealed behind masks. He walked to
the door of the express car and called to
the express messenger, Sam Avery, to
open the door. Avery, suspecting nc
danger, pushed back the door. As he
did so
The Leader of the Robbers
and one confederate pushed their re-
volvers in and ordered the messenger to
hold up his hands. The order was
promptly obeyed and three of the rob
bers jumped into the car. Avery was
commanded to open the safe, and at the
point of a revolver did so. One of the
robbers unfolded a sack and into it were
placed the entire contents of the safe.
The robbers then made their escape
without attempting to mOlest the passen-
gers. The engineer pulled the train into
Otterville, a half mile distant, where a
part of the crew were left to arouse the
sheriff and organize posse to pursue
the robbers.
The News of the Robbery
was also telegraphed to the headquar-
ters at st. Louis and all the available
detective force of the road was sent to
Robbers CUT The sheriff's posse and
the detectives are now securing the
country for the robbers. The exact
amount of money and valuables stolen
cannot be learned, but it is understood
the money in the safe aggregated about
S75, 600, mostly in paper money, and
that the other valuable property
amounted to about $4,000. The rob
bers are unknown.
