Der, and no clew to his identity or
present whereabouts has yet been

.CoFFEYvILLE, Kas., Dee. 25.-South-
bound passenger train No. 80 on the
Iron Mountain division of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which left here at $50
last night, was held up and robbed at
Seminole station, five miles from here,
in the Indian territory. Seminole is a
small station on the open prairie. A
switch-lock had been broken, and the
train ran in on siding.
The bandits are supposed to be a
remnant of the Starr gang and to have
been led by Jim Wooten, who led the
raid on the Mound Valley bank.
Every passenger on the train from
the smoker to the sleeper was robbed
by the leader while his comrades on
the outside kept up fusillade with
their Winchesters. Quite large
amount of booty was secured. The
train was held about an hour and a
half. After completing their work
the bandits mounted their horses and
rode off and the train continued on its
way to Fort Smith.
A posse was organized and is in pur-
suit. 1t is proba BILE that fight will
ensue if they catch up with the rob-
bers.
Superintendent Fuller, Of the Pacific
Express Co., when seen said that the
package secured by the robbers from
the express car did not contain money.
1t is supposed to have been some cheap
iewelry which was shipped from St.
Louis.

rushed into the room, when one of the
men took a shot at him, but missed

an unmerciful beating, but both men
