the foundation, but silk null or gauze would

ANOTHER HoLp.up.


A Frisco Passenger Train Held Up Neas
Augusta, Kan, Hy Four Masked Men,
who wero Captured aud Proved to Bs
Farmers.
AUGUSTA, Kan, Aug. 22 The reg
ular eastbOund 81 Louis g. San Fran
cisco passenger train was robbed few
miles east of this city Saturday night
BY four Butler county farmers The
robbers have been arrested and all Of
the stolen money except few dollars
has been recovered
The train reached here on time, at
1921, Saturday night Nothing unusual
occurred until IL was passing over Wall
nut bridge, one mile east Of the depot,
when Engineer Dale was startled ut tho
sight of masked man climbing down
over the coal in the tender Of his en-
ginc. The man showed a revolver in
the engineers face and commanded
him 10 stop the train. The fireman
was also covered with revolver
The engineer brought the train 10 =
stand still and confcderatcs Ia .he red
uncoupled the Wells Fargo ev~
The engineer was ordered 10 pui ahead
nearly a mile and stop.
Several shots were fired aud Express
Messenger Shipp was forced to admit
the mask mened to the cars lie had bar
ricaded the doors, but was without
arms To defend himself Tho
robbers poured dozen shots
through the door and he had no alter
native but to submit The safe Mas
opened and the bandits took all the
money packages in sight which, it IS
stated, did notcontainm more than $500.
The robbers then took 70 the woods
after ordering the engineer TO back TO
the rest OF the train. This was done
and the train proceeded after being dc
layed three-quartcrs Of an hour.
There were four Of the robbers and
all Of them wore masks. 1t IS thought
one Of them boarded the express ear at
Augusta aud that the others got on at
the Santa Fc crossing The passengers
were not disturbed and few Of them
knew what was taking place.
Conductor AlIers did not give an
alarm until the train reached Beau
mont, twenty-six mHes away, while he
notified Sheriff Nipp, Of Cowiey county,
at Winfield The latter got out
special train on the Santa re and came
to Douglass twelve miles cast
Of here with several deputies where he
arrested Fred Livingston, Ezra Carter,
A. A. Bartey and Rollins Mohatt for
the robbery. In some manner Sheriff
Nipp had learned of the plot to rob the
train and he knew right where to put
his hands on the robbers Immediately
after he heard the holdup had taken
place The sheriff and his deputies
surrounded tho houses Of the robbers
and they were taken without fight.
IndMputable evidences of their guilt
were found-the masks and the money
some Of the packages not having been
opened when the arrests were made
The robbers are now in Jail at VIM
field. An of them are farmers and tins
IS the first time any Of them have been
accused of an unlawful deed.
