LITTLE Rock, Dec. 26.-.The first en-
Sirely accurate details of the Kansas and
Arkansas Valley holdup at Seminole, |.
t., Saturday evening, reached Little
Rock at $50 p. m, when the robbed
train arrived. Seminole, the scene OF
the robbery, is flag station nine
miles south of Coffeyyiilo, han. There
is 10 town there and nothing to mark
the spot save a side track and small
platform. Train No. 232 reached Semi
mole Sunday night, shortly after dark.
The switch had been turned, throwing
the train on the siding. The switch is
on heavy up grade and the train i'm
mediately came to standstill. When
the train stopped two men mounted the
engine and began by
Robbing Engineer Bush Harris
of his watch and $40 in cash. They
then proceeded to the mail car and rifed
the mail pouches. Mail Clerk Fl. V.
Pinckney, who was IN charge, was
forced to deliver up the registered pack
ages. After abstracting the cash the
letters were handed back to the clerk.
Pinckney was relieved of his watch and
IS cents in change, 25 cents of which
was returned to him to buy a lunch.
An entrance to the express car was
gained without resistance on the part of
the express messenger as there was
nothing of great value on board. The
robbers commanded Messenger Ford
To Open Up the Safe,
from which they took two small pack
ages, value unknown, and $3.50 In
money. Finishing their work in the ex-
press car, the robbers turned their at
tention to the coaches, hut very little of
value was obtained. The robbers ap-
propriated all the overcoats and watches
in the cars, but the sum total of the cash
they secured will approximate less than
$500. Several passengers saved large
sums by hiding their purses under the
car seats. Beth Of the men who went |
through the coaches were young men, |
neither being over SO and had the ap-
pearance of unsophisticated country |
youths. The train was held one hour
and 20 minutes. 1t is stated positively |
that the railroad officials here have the |
names of the four robbers and it is be-
1ieved their capture is only question of
a few days.
