SAVED THE TRAIN.
Chicago papers recently received here
contain full account OF the foiling OF
an attempt to hold up a fast mail train
! at Oak Glen, a small station near Chica-
20, on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
: Paul road, through the vigilance of the
night operator at that place, Mr.. Jesse
/ Merrill, well known in this city, being
} formerly manager OF the Postal Tele-
graph company.
The account gives Mr.. Merrill much
! credit for his shrewdness in outwitting
the robbers, who were four in number
and came into his office at 2 o'clock in
the morning, inquiring in regard to the
arrival of the through mail, which does
not stop at Oak Glen. Suspecting that
the men were up to some deviltry, he
followed them up the track, where, in a
very secluded spot, they had arranged a
red light to stop the train.
While following them he was detect.
ed, and with revolver showed under
his nose, was given veryIorcible invi.
tation to keep away from the telegraph
Office until after the arrival OF the train.
Escaping, howeves, he returned and no.
titled the Office at Chicago just before
the departure OF the mail.
- special loaded with policemen was
attempt made to capture the gang,
which failed through their taking alarm
at the appearance of the train, which
consisted only of an engine and baggage
car.
In the published interview with the
superintendent of the road he gives Mr.
Merrill much credit for his part in the
prevention of the hold-up, and rapid
promotion in the service Of the company
is predicted.
