Missouri Train Robbers Meet With q Flu
silade From Many Winchesters.
GoR1NG, Mo-, Sept. 19.-The Colorado
and Utah express on the Santa Fe was
held up by robbers at $3.50 a.: m. Owing
to the fact that the railroad and express
officials had spy on the trail of the
bandits when they stopped the train
they met a hail of buckshot and bullets.
They were novices in the art of train
robbery, and brutal ones at that, for
they shot *'Dad' Prescott, the engineer,
before they even gave him a chance to
hold up his hands. His wounds, it is
believed, will not prove fatal. The raid
was planned three weeks ago, but not
put into execution.
