ST LOUIS, May 13.-Passenger train No.
8, north bound, on the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, was held up by four train robbers
near Laketon, IS miles south of Cairo, Ills.
The train consisted of two sleeping cars,
one day coach, baggage car and southern
express car. The express car was in
charge OF Messenger s. III. Ray and a
helper named Pearson. When the train
stopped at the water tank one mile south
OF Laketon, Messenger Ray heard man
climb up on the platform, and pounding
on the door ordered him to open it. The
messenger surmised that it was train
robber and told him to go to h"
The robber then placed stick of dyna-
mite under the door, and exploding it blew
out panel. The explosion scattered all
the small packages, envelopes, etc., in
every direction and filled the car with
smoke. The robber then pushed Win
chester through the aperture and COM
manded Messenger Ray to unlock the
door. The messenger at first refused, but
when the robber told him he would kill
him if he did not hurry he obeyed the or
der and the robber entered the car.

The outlaw had a red handkerchief tied
across his face, completely hiding his fea-
lures. One of his accomplices stood guard

went directly to the safe, the door of which
was unlocked, and rifled it of all packages
and envelopes supposed to contain money
or valuables. In the meantime Helper
Pearson, deeming discretion the better part
Of valor, hid, taking up safe position in
remote corner of the car. After securing
all he could conveniently carry the robber
ordered Ray and Pearson to remain in the
car or he would fill them full of holes
Both robbers then jumped from the car
and, Joined by their confederates, disap-
peared in the darkness. The robbery did
not occupy more than three minutes, and
before the train crew or passengers realized
the situation the bandits were out of dan
