KANSAS CITY, Jan. 24.-Last night

twice, once by lynching party that
was escorting Murderer Robert Hepler
from Nevada, Mo-, to Lamar, Mo-,

The train had hardly left Nassau
Junction, where the lyncbing party
took possession of it, when danger
signal induced the engineer to slow up
again. When the train came to
standstill, two masked men entered
the express car and ordered the occu-
pants to hold up their hands, keeping
them covered with revolvers, while the
train trave led twelve miles to Lamar.
The robbers rified the pockets of train
men, taking S75 from Baggageman
Hull, small amounts from Express
senger Agent Bardett, of the Missouri
Pacific, who had gone to the express
car to escape annoyance by the mob OF
lynchers in the rear cars.
Afterwards the robbers took refuge
in freight train and at Miamastown
were overtaken by the officers. For
an hour a fight ragged fast. and furious,
the robbers being we'll armed. Finally
shot struck one of the robbers in the
head and killed him. The other bandit
then surrendered. He was seriously
wounded in the side. He gave his own
name as Charles Meyers of Kansas City,
Kan. He declined to reveal the name
Of his companion. The coroner held
an inquest on the body of the dead rob
ber and returned verdict in accord
ance with the facts. The other man
was taken to Fort Scott.
