South Bend, Ind, June 5.-Freight
train No. IL N the Lake Shore road
was held up last night between here
and Mishawka. The train was a
through merchandise train. When
about halfway between here and the
suburbs the engineer was compelled
ut the point of Il revolver to stop. Two
persons watched him and the fireman
until the rest of the gang went
through the valuable merchandise
cars, Several cars were broken open
and the stolen goods loaded into wa
CONS, brought here by other members
Of the gang. In the meantime the
train men in the caboose started to
ascertain the cause of the delay, but
did not get far before they We're or
ceeded in removing several hundred
dollars worth of goods. The train was
then allowed to depart.
At an early hour this morning De
tective Frank Brobst brought five 10
cal characters to the city, securely
h%andcutfed together. 1t took him some
time to explain how it happened that
he was here just at the right time.
Brobst say he vas in a box car with
some tralnps, being in the guise OF q
tramp, working on some case, when
the train was held up. He was an
eye witness to nearly all the proceed
ings. He followed the wagons for
about six miles, when they finally
drove into a dense swamp. Brobst
followed on, and in a short time the
party arrived at their rendezvous, an
old log house in the swamp. He cap
tured the five without any trouble, and
using one of their own teams, broght
them to town. He thinks there arc
about twenty in the gang, and that
they are all home people.
