BOLD BANDITS IN A BUGGY
HOLD UP AN EXPRESS TRAIN
Near Their Favored Missouri Town.
Doodle from $500 TO $4,000.

Once more have robbers in Missouri held
NJ an express train, and It is believed the
latest lob was done by the same parties who
robbed the Eli" on the Hannibal railroad,
week ago. Shortly alter Friday midnight
FIVE masked men halted a passenger train
on the Kansas City, st. Joseph and Council
Bluffs railroad. only a mile north of st
Joseph, nc, at Roy's Landing, The means
adopted by the bandits were atrack torpedo
and red lantern.
Officers who visited the scene ofthe rob-
berry found that the robbers had a spring
wagon or buggy htched near where the
train was stopped and as soon as the job
was finished all OF them returned to st. Jo-
seph in the conveyance, The vehicle was
tracked to that city, but the trail was lost
at the head of sixth street. where the
throughfare is paved.
officers of the Express Company refuse
TO say how much was secured; bnt it is
generally believed TO be large. The train
robbed carried all the through matter
for Omaha, ST. Paul, Minneapolis and the
Northwest, and it is thought the train had
quite a sum aboard, some people placing
the amount obtained as high as $4,000 OF
100000
The train ran past the place where the
robbers intended 1t should stop and the
men were left behind the engine. Shortly
after the stop had been made, however, a
man came running ont of the brush along
side the track and covering the engineer
and fireman with a revolver shouted
Throw up your hands" Then he ordered
ssa a Rax Tar 10 frat
down from the cab and ny they were cover
ed with revolver in each hand of the
masked man they readily complied.
While this was occurring four other men
came running up from the rear OF the train
toward the engine, all thetime firing their
revolvers in the air and shouting at the top
Of their voices to the passengers telling them
70 keep their heads inside the car or they
would get hurt
The five robbers then marched the engi.
ueer and fireman back to the express car,
and one of the gang pounded on the door
Of the car and told the messenger to open
it, This was done, AS soon as the mes
senger showed his head he was covered
with revolvers and told to stand back from
The door. Then three of the robbers forced
the engineer and fireman in ahead OF them
and enteredthe car. Inside the car, besides
the express messenger, was the baggage
man. All OF the men were ordered to stand
against the wall with their hands above
their heads. A short man took all the
packages from the safe and dropped them
into sack which he carried,
When the safe had been emptied the
trainmen were compelled to leave the car
and the robbers followed them. They were
marched ahead of the bandits down half the
length of the train and stood in row at the
west side OF the track.
When the trainmen had been stood up IN
line about midway OF the train on the
west side the robbers called to the men on
the east side of the train and they climbed
over the platform and Joined them. They
then walked away westward, going out OF
sight in the willows few feet from the
right of way.
