 ST. LouIs, March 7.-Late last night word was received in this city that three men made an attempt to hold up the New Orleans passenger train which left here at 9 o'clock on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, near Forest Lawn, H., about four miles from East St. Louis. The robbers were frightened away, however, before they &C., complained their purpose.
 Soon after the train had passed Pitts burg orossing and just before reaching Forest Lawn, while passing through 8 swamp, the fireman saw three men, with their faces concealed by black masks, crawling over tho tender from the baggage car. He drew . revolver and held them at bsy, while the engineer slowed up and drew his revolver.
 The conductor, Esholds, came forward to see why the train he'd stopped and with his help the three would be robbers were put to flight without . shot being fired. The men ran away without attempting to draw their weapons and were soon lost sight of in the darkness. The train con- unued on its way to Columbfa, the nearest telegraph station, where information was sent back to East St. Louis of the attempt ed robbery. It Is thought that the rob- bers got on the train in front of the extra baggage car when 1t stopped at Pittaburg crossing. As soon ss word was received at East St. Louis four police officers were sent out on sn engine to the scene of the attempted robbery to trace the men if possible. This morning Q larger force Is scattered around the adjoining country, but 1t is feared that the robbers have escaped.
 This is the fourth time since last May Chat this train has been held up by rob. bers and almost in the same locality.
 MT. Frazier, in charge of the Southern Express company's office here, stated this that the agent on the express car of the train was c new man named Frank. | lin. "The train," he said, (which leaves | St. Louis ct 8:30, rarely ever, so far ss | know, carries any great amount of valus- 1 bles. There are two through safes In the | gar, which are provided with combination l ocks, in which all valusbles are kept"
