ROBBED BY FIVE MEN
The Burlington "Eli" Train Held
Up Near st. Joseph, Mo.
All the Packages in the Express Safe
and Registered Mail Taken-Reward
Offered by Railway officials.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 10-For the sec
ond time within a few months this city
has been the scene of a train robbery or
an attempted one. On the 18th of last Sep
tember an attempt 20 hold UP a train on
the Council Bluffs road was frustrated by
the officers being informed of the proposed
plan. Two OF the robbers were killed and
another was recently sentenced to ten
years in prison. This was thought sufficient
to put a stop to the operations of this class
of people In this city, but tonight another
train was held up. and this time it was
almost within the city limits.
The Burlington ELI" leaving this city
at 6:25, was held up about three miles east
OF st. Joseph by five masked men. The
train was stopped by torpedoes being placed
on the track and a red lantern swung
across the road in regulation custom As
soon as the train stopped, three men
boarded the engine with drawn revolvers
and ordered the engineer and fireman to
accompany them to the express car and tell
the express messenger to open the door
This they did. Upon being told to open the
door, the express messenger obeyed, and
he was at once covered with a rifle in the
hands Of one of the men. Three others, with
revolvers in each hand, 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 railroad officials not to ex-
cesd $50. This statement Is not credited
here, however, as Superintendent Hohl. OF
the Burlington road. and w. H. Mosely. of
the Adams Express Company have bsen
in consultation with the sheriff and chief
of police and a posse is now being organ>
lied
One Of the robbers was a slim man and
wore a light brown suit The other was a
short man and wore black suit The en-
gineer and other trainmen were unable to
give description of the other three All
the trainmen think the robbers were anna
teurs. as they We're nervous and appeared
much excited. 2. III. Houlahan super
intendent Of the Hannibal & St Joe rail-
offered a reward of s10o for the arrest of
each or the robbers II captured before to-
morrow evening.
When the train stopped a brakeman went
back to flag the st. Louis train follow
ing. and when he was several hundred
yards down the track. he asserts. he heard
shots fired and suddenly the train pulled
out He secured q horse and came to this
robbers entered the mail and express cars
and took all the registered mail in the
former and all the packages in the safe
were any, were probably fired by the rob-
bers as the train was ready to pull out.
to frighten the trainmen This brakeman
followed the ELI on the St. Louis train
which leaves this city about half an hour
afterwards, in the hope of catching his
regular train. On this account one was
permitted to see him and secure a COM
plete report of the hod-up.

THE COUGHLIN TRIAL.
Judge Wing Protests Against the Use of
Lawyer Beggs's Name.


CHICAGO, Jan. 10-A lively discussion
between counsel in the Coughlin case to-
day was caused by the mention of the
name of the late lawyer, John F. Beggs,
senior guardian of Camp 20. OF the Clan
na-Gael. The assistant States attorney
said the name should not be mentioned
unless the prosecution was allowed to show
Mr. Beggs's connection with the case,
whereupon Judge Wing angrily retorted:
"Prejudiced as was that former Jury be-
yond all precedent, they could not convict
lawyer Beggs and his name can have TO
more connection with the case" The
court allowed Judge Wing to proceed but
that attorney did not follow up the sub
Ject to any extent
Frank Scanlan repeated the testimony he
gave at the former trial regarding DR..
Cronin's departure in the buggy drawn by
the white horse. The prosecution Is MAX
ing a diligent search for two OF its old
witnesses, Major Sampson and Willis
Lynn, but with very poor success Major
Sampson testified at the former trial to
being asked by Coughlin to slug DIR.

who at the former trial. testified that he
had overheard Coughln remark, "A North
