KANSAS TRAIN ROBBERY.
THREE BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN
IN FINE STYLE.
They Killed the Express Messenger and Re.
lieved Passengers Of Money and Other
Valuables in the Dashing Manner
Of the James Boys.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Sept. 9-Neal
Mound Valley, Kan, this morning
three desperate men who understood
their business, held up the Frisco train
due to arrive in this city at 9:45 this
forenoon. Express Messenger Chap
man was shot and killed. Failing to
secure money from the express car,
the bandits robbed the passengers in a
manner much after style of the James,
Younger gang in their palmiest days.
The work was done with cool deliber-
alton of the typical border outlaws.
The estimated amount of booty is
not far short of $4,000. Watches, dia-
monds and other valuables were taken
along with the cash The women
were not molested by the plunderers.
Everything in sight was taken. One
passenger was made to give up quart
of whisky. The exact manner in
which the express messenger lost his
life is not known, but he fell victim
to bullet from one of the outlaws and
his story is left untold.
The train, in charge of Conductor
Mills, arrived in this city two hours
late. Throughout the robbery only
two shots were fred and they were the
ones that blotted out the express mes
senger. Rufus Cone, chief-of-police of
Wichita, was passenger on the train.
Among all the passengers on the train
only two pistols could be found. The
men who had them were Chief Gone
and colored passenger. The train
crew as we'll as the passengers were
robbed. The bandits escaped.
The robbers boarded the engine a
Mound Valley, small station, 16
miles west of Oswego, Kas., armed
with winchesters. The engineer was
ordered to pull out and keep moving
until ordered to stop. Aoout one
and half miles out of the little station
the leader called to the engineer to
stop the train. Then the crew was
robbed. Next the passengers in the
smoking and chair cars were relieved
of their money, watches, jewelry and
everything of any value.
Chief Cone and the porter of the
sleeper had taken up position so they
were shielded, but could see the door
duu WdlLcu ISduy III o. Oo'OtiO, Ouo VIZ
robbers gave the sleeper the go-by
and escaped in the darkness. When
the train reached Oswego a sheriff's
posse was organized and started
in pursuit of the bandits.
When the train halted at little sta
ton Chapman left the express car to
go into the smoker. The express car
was "blind," no doors at the end, and
the messenger got out on the station
platform and started towards the rear
of the train. The robbers, who were
on the engine, thought he was going
to give the alarm and opened fire Mt
him. He was shot through the head:
The train was forced to move on and
leave him lying on the platform.
After the bandits abandoned the train
it went back after the dead man:

Twenty Years Experience.

G. D. Fredricks, the well known
photographer, ITO Broadway, New
York, says:
II have been using Allcock's Porous
Plasters for 20 years and found them
one of the best family medicines
Briefly summing up my experince, l
say that when placed on the small of
the back Alcock's Plasters fill the
body with nervous energy, and thus
cure fatigue, brain exhaustion, de-
bility and kidney difficulties. For
women and children l have found
them invaluable. They never irritate
the skin or cause the slightest pain,
cure sore throat, coughs, colds, pains
in side, back or chest, indigestion and
bowel complaints.
