Train Robbers Fooled.

The train robber is abroad again
IN Missouri. as shown by an attempt
to roo an express train on the A. L.
and 5. F. railroad, near CORN, Scot
land county, on the early morning
of the 18th inst.
Il seems the robbers had taken
into their confidence detective and
spy, named Mathews, who posted
the authorities as to their hiding
place, plan, time and point OF at
tack. Preparations had been made
for some time to receive the bandits
as they had twice before attemuted
robbery. Some sixteen men were on
the cram, scattered from the engine
to the smoking car, all armed with
Winchester rifles, which were loaded
especially for the occasion, every
cartridge containing twenty.four
buckshot.
One mile out from CORN the rail-
road track runs between two high
embankments. The crack of a rail-
road torpedo and the swinging Of a
red lantern across the track were the
first tokens the trainmen had OF the
presence of the robbers. The train
came to a stand still, when a masked
man rushed to the engine and three
others to the express car. Engineer
Prescott, au old man, was CON-
manded TO hold up his hands. The
command was accompanied by a
shot from the bandit and the engi-
neer fell to the floor OF his cab with
a bullet in his breast. From the gun
OF Detective KenDey. who was in the
cab with the engineer, a shower Of
shor went into the face OF the robber
who sprang from the engine and
made for the woods. The other
three broke for the shelter in the
woods where they fired two wild
shots. Their horses had been hitch
ed in the woods near by ali OF which
escaped except one which fell dead
after being fired upon by the detec-
tives. he had no rider, but the
sheriff took the bride and saddle by
which he expected to identify the
rider.
Pursuit of the robbers was at once
begun, and later advices say result
ed in the capture OF two Of them
whose names are CharlesAbrams and
Link 0verfield. Abrams is the man
who shot the engineer and is badly
wounded. The capture OF the other
two is expected every hour.
