placed on the track and red lantern swung

and order the express messenger to open the
door. This they did, and upon being ordered
10 open the door, the express messenger COM
piled, when he was covered by a rifle in
the hands of one of the men. Three others
with revolvers in each hand had entered the
car and the messenger was ordered to open
the safe. which he did. The robbers then
took all there was in the safe, which amount
is claimed by the officials of the railroad
not to exceed $50.
All the trainmen think the robbers were
amateurs, as they were nervous during the
affair and appeared badly excited.
st. Joseph has been the scene of numerous
hold-ups lately, scarcely a night passing
without one or more, and it is thought by
the officers that the robbery of the train
was the work of some of these thieves.
