was on account of the occurrence this
morning near Greenwood, KY, where, in
the mountains, It's miles from Cincinnati,
and twenty-three miles from the State
line between Tennessee and Kentucky, the
south bound train was stopped by six rob-
bers, just as it emerged from the mouth
of a tunnel, and after fight lasting only
ten minutes half the robbers were killed
and wounded and the others put to flight.

company's headquarters. He e1ated
over the news. YES it is true that there

Inc attempted nOld-up was IN a Wlfu ana
lonely spot and well calculated for just
such work. do not know whether there
was any especial treasure or property on
the train. The Adams express can tell about
that. have not the information in de-
tail yet, but / will venture to say that
very few of the passengers knew of the
trouble. 1t was at time Of night when
they would be asleep. Some might have
heard the shooting, but it all over
quickly, and train on the move again, that
1t would be impossible for them to know
much. There may have been some tip to
the men that a hold-up was intended, but
/ have nothing that score
General Manager Barrett, of the Adams
Express Company, who was also delighted
with the repulse of the robbers, said he
looked on it as an important event. The
express company, he said, has adopted the
plan of a secret service to protect its prop
erty against robbers. This is the first re-
suit of the new method. While 1t is costly,
it is infinitely more effective than any num-
Der of 1ynx-eyed detectives employed to
arrest and punish robbers Prevention, he
thinks, in this matter is better than cure.
Superintendent Barrett says the robbers
could have had no knowledge of the amount
of money carried by last nights train: that
they made their attack as a pure venture.
He declines to say what would have been
their reward if they had been successful.

Keelan was the one spy relied on for con-
veying important information from the Con-

down many a state secret. He was born
in Caseyville, ILL.,, in 1874. His first exploit
occurred in 1853, when he was arrested for
carrying mail between Missouri secessionists
quartered at Memphis and their relatives at
home. For this he was tried by court-mar-
tial at st. Louis and banished from the
State. He continued to carry the mail,
however, and was again arrested court
martialed and sentenced to be shot BY the
aid of friends he escaped, went 20 Rich
mond, and soon became the Confederates'
most trusted spy. When Richmond was
threatened and it was necessary to take
some decisive step Keelan placed torpedoes
under certain Baltimore d Ohio trains
transporting federal troops. Many were
killed. but Keelan escaped. Since the war
Keelan degenerated into professional card

money, but died pennileSs.
