FOOLED THE ROBBERS
FUTILE ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP
A SANTA FE TRAIN.
Railroad Officials Received Warning IL
Time OF n Proposed Attempt to Loot ar
Express Near CORN, Mo-, and Armed
Detectives We're Ready.



Train robbers in Missouri we o given
a backset early Tuesday morning
which they will never forget as long
as they breathe. 1t was the neatest
job ever done in the whole history Of
Missouri banditry, and it was all
planned more than three weeks
ago. The attack was made by
! band of four masked men or
the Denver express Of the Santa
te, carrying an express car with
consid rable money in it. The traiS
was tagged about three-quarters of a
mile east of Go in, q little town in the
northern part of Missouri, and before
the robbers had time to board it a vol.
ley from ten Winche ster rifles belched
out flame and lead into their very
faces. Panic stricken, the robbers fled
to the WOODS, with a posse of Sheriff s
men and raj road detectives in hot pur-
suit.
The story of the robbery and the
clever way in which it was baked reads
like a romance. Three weeks ago.
then, the officials of the road received
word that the Denver express was to
be held up and at once be-
gan preparations to give the
robbers a warm reception. The
express train is the finest and
fastest train that runs on the road Of
the Santa Fe. 1t leaves Chicago every
afternoon at 5 o clock and travels like
the wind after it gets out into the
open. 1t carries the Wells-targo *
press car to the West and this car is
always loaded with treasure.
Being in f II ossession of the plans
Of the robbers, the officials were in
readiness to greet any demonstration
Of lawlessness with a shOwer Of lead.
Eight armed deputies, together with
Sheriff Sailing of Sc otland County and
City Marshal Byrnes OF Memphis,
Mo-, we're stationed on the train
to welcome the bandits. Engi-
neer Prescott was instructed to stop
the train as soon as it was tagged, but,
unfortunately fer him. he did not act
quickly enough to suit the robbers, one
81 whom shot him, the ball striking
him in the shoulder and producing a
severe wound. which, however, will
not prove dangerous. At this juncture
the Sheriff and deputies opened fire,
and the robbers beat a ha,ty retreat,
breaking for the woods, where their
horses were tied. All the while the
officers were shooting at the fleeing
men, but only che shot took effect and
this did no better than to wound on of
the e A gray horse was killed and
another was captured. while the four
men set off on the other two animals,
followed by the posse.

Details OF the battle between the
Chinese and ia anese fOl ces at Ping

with the heavy guns showed
good practice. The firing continued
at intervals during the night,
and in the meantime W japanese

the Japanese columns simultaneously
and with admirable precision. The
