Six Indiana Robbers Lynched.
A circumstance had occurred at Sey-
mour during the interim that made the
Renos equally DESTROYS not to be re-
turned to Indiana. Six young men
living in the vicinity of Seymour, fired
to the point of enthusiasm by the sue
cess which had attended the two train
robbery exploits of the Renos, banded
together for the purpose of enriching
themselves at the expense of the ex.
press company, A time, train and
place had been selected, but a weak
kneed confederate betrayed the plot,
little dreaming of the fearful results
TO follow. The doomed train was
mounted with strong guard, and
when the point of attack was reached
the would-be robbers found themselves
face to face with a heavily armed posse
of determined men. They fled and
we're pursued. Three of them were
captured and put in the Seymour Jail.
AT daylight mob stormed the Jail,
took them to point one mile and a
half west of the town, where in the
midst of field stands to this day in
plain view of the railroad track q tree,
TO which they were hung. During the
day the remaining three would-be rob-
bers were captured, and that night
they were hung to the same tree. The
six bodies on the one tree presented
grewsome sight, and were permitted
to remain there all of the next day.
The certainty that some such treat
ment as this awaited them urged the
Renos to make desperate fight against
eXtradition. When all was lost with
them they begged not to be taken
back to Seymour, and the officers ac-
cordingly took them to New Albany,
Ind, where they would be presumably
safe from mob violence. But they
were not, for on the night of the day
which they were confined o mob OF
nearly thousand people came to the
Seymour and adjacent towns, attacked
the massive jail, which for four hours
resisted their assaults, forced their
way to the prisoners cells, and despite
most desperate resistance, during
which the four prisoners defended
themselves with savage fury, armed
only with portions OF the cell furni-
ture, they were taken out and hanged
to a telegraph pole.
The very decisive method of show
ing disapproval Of the profession Of
train-robbing in Southern Indiana had
the effect of discouraging the business
both there and elsewhere, and it was
not until seven years later, June 6,
1875, that the country was startled by
the daring attempt to rob Vandalia
express car and the murder of Milo
Eames, the engineer, at Long Point, a
water station about thirty miles west

in the robbery OF the Daviess County
Bank for which he was sent to the
penitentiary for twenty-three years.
The third train robbery was on the
Jacksonville, Madison and Indianap-
oils Railroad, and occurred at Seymour.
The engineer was captured at the
water tank, and the express car en-
tered while the train was in motion.
He offered some resistance and was

brother-in-law Anderson, all four boys
who loafed much of their time about
the streets OF Seymour. One night in
September of 1866, the west-bound Ohio
and Mississippi train was on its way
westward from Seymour and had
reached Brownstown, where it stopped,
when the engineer and fireman found
themselves suddenly looking into two
revolvers held by two masked men and

ing the engineer TO return
with his locomotive TO his train.
Not a shot was fired. This bold
and successful crime created the pro-
foundest sensation. Col. L. c. Weir,

that this was but the first of what

of Terre Haute. The ea5t-bound train
stopped at the tank, a lonesome place,
with but one habitatiOn in sight, and
it little groggery, that was supposed
to have been established by the rob-
bers, when three men. heavily masked,
and further disguised with SLOUGH hats
and linen busters, boarded the engine,
and drawing their pistols, shot Eames
dead. The fireman, who was standing
on the tender, gave one look and fell
off the tender into the ditch. One
of the robbers understood an en-
CINE, and he pulled out, carrying
the express car, which had bean pre-
viously uncoupled. two miles down the
road. where confederate with horse
and wagon was waiting on the opposite
side of a field. The Adams Express
messenger Burke, a bravo man, took
in the situation and made preparations
u defend the car, which was an old
Pennsylvania car without end doors
and as strong as a fortress. He piled
up freight so as TO make blrricade
on either side. To the demand of the
robbers to open up he returned def
ant answer. They went to work on the
car with axes, but gave up the job in
disgust. They then began to fire
through the car. He returned the
fire, wounding one of tho robbers, as
blood stains in the field proved, and
was slightly wounded himself Over
forty shots were exchanged.
Steel Masks and Breastplates.
In their flight they threw away three
sets OF bullet-proOf steel armor, the
like Of which had never been seen be-
fore. The steel mask which covered
the face and neck, was like a section of
stoye-pipe, with holes cut for the eyes
and mouth. The breastplates, which
reached below the hips, were made in
three sections. 1t was afterwards

AN INDIAN OUTBREAK.

LAUREL, Mont, March 9-Open warfare
has broken out between the settlers ON the
newly epenee portion of the Crow reserva-
tion and the Indians, and the widest ex-
element exists at the new town Of Wilsey
and in the country around. The ranch
men are moving their wives and children
to places of safety and are pre- pairing to
defend their claims. The first bloodshed
occurred this morning. The In
dians. angered at the encroachments of
the whites, undertook to drive off
settler named Henderson. On Monday he
returned with party of friends, all armed
The red devils gathered III clump of
timber today and told Henderson that if
he remained on the tract of land which he
had homesteaded another "A hours he
would be scalped and his body fed to the
crows. He then whistled and his COM
panions began to pour out of the woods.
A conflict ensued, in which Little Face, a
Crow Indian, was killed.
The Crows are making medicine and are
preparing fer actual warfYe. This is the
frst time that the Crows have ever shown
hostility toward the whites l. is ex-
pected that two or three companies of
United States regulars will be ordered to
Wilsey as soon as the war department can
be informed of the critical state of affairs.
