WAS BOLD But B0OHLESS
Thrilling Hold-up Last Night of a
Train on the Great Northern.
Ran Away With One Express Car, But
Were Followed n nd Scared OFF by a
Train Oh Parallel Track.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 19.-Express
train No. 3, ON the Great Northern Railroad,
was held up by armed robbers eight miles
from st. Cloud at 10 O'Clock last night, but
no booty was secured.
A few miles out from Clear Lake the
train came TO a full stop, because a danger
signal was displayed. Two robbers COW
cred the fireman and engineer with Win
chester rifles and cautioned them 10 obey
orders. They then commanded the engin-
eer 10 get off and uncouple the express
car. They did not know that there were
two express ears.
The engineer uncoupled only the first
one. The express messenger knew what
was going ON and threw away his keys.
After parlcying with him the robbers Or
dercd the fireman and engineer to get on
the engine and run the express car toward
st. Cloud.
They started off. Meantime the con-
ductor had heard shots and started through
the train and notified the passengers that
the train was being held up.
Procuring assistance, he started up the
track. They had gone about mile when
they saw a Northern Pacific freight train
approaching, the tracks OF the two roads
being close together at that point.
Sig rnalinG this train, they were taken
aboard, and, after n run of several miles,
they saw the ngincaand express car stand
ing on the other track. The conductor told
the freight men to stop when they got
short distance further and this was done.
The dcspcradoes saw them coming and
concluded To give up a bad job. Telling the
engineer. TO whose engine the first express
car was still attached, to pull out for st.
Cloud. they remained on the car and were
soon speeding away. At the outskirts of
ST. Cloud the robbers jumped FROM the car
and disappeared in the darkness.
a special train, with all the city detectives
available on board, left here ut midnight
for the scene.
The high waynen secured absolutely
nothing. They failed to board the car that
contained most of the express money.

STUDENTS RAID A STAGE
Several Terrorized Actresses Forced
to Flee from a Theater.
Audience ana Lehigh Boys De-
maj nndcd Their Money BACK.

Bethlehem, Pa, Nov. 19.-The audience
at the Central Thcater were treated to a
ella sh between LeLigh students and actresses
that was not nuwn un The prUsiaiuine.
Fearing, perhaps, that they should find
themselves in 4 genuine college rush. or
that they were unable to cope with football
tactics, the actresses, clad in the flashicst
Of tights, fled from the stage door to the
street and sought refuge in their hotel.
They refused To come back, and the perform.
ance ended abruptly in the second act.
The Paris Gaiety Girls combination
was advertised as decidedly up-to-date
variety show for Saturday night The
bill-posterS around town displayed volup-
tuous young women in the most alluring
attitudes. Blondes and bcwitehing bru-
nettes were painted with the most fasci-
mating countenances. There was a de-
cided briefness to the costumes, both
above and below the waists. Stockings
that seemed to mount Indefinitely were
held snuGiy 10y bowed gartcrs. Figures
of the most perfect rounded curves were
shown in groups and singly. in fact, 1t
was thought Bethlehem was to behold

big audience was on hand when the curtain
The Paris Gaicty Girls In real life seemed
less lustrous than the iris pictured upon the
posters. So, at least, many of the audi
enc cthought During the first act the per
forniancc was not materially hindered by
applause, which grew less the longer the
play progressed.
There were many Lchigh University stu
dents in the audience. As is customary. the
boys occupied front seats. In the second
act some of the young men grew impatient.
where's the little blonde in yellow
tights" yelled Il youth in the balcony.
This was the beginning, and the taunts
were then frequent. The spectators seemed
to think that the play was not nearly so
good as the posters had led them to expect.
The Gaiety Girls were made the targets for
SO many remarks that at the end of the Sec
ond act they determined to leave the stage
and end the performance. That set the au-
dience Ifirc. and a yell went up. a dozen
or more young men. including many Le-
| high University students, lcaped upon the
| stage and demanded their money back. The
officers in the thratrr tried To route the
invaders from the stage. and a terrific dis
turbance followed. The lights We're put
out and chairs were smashed.
The actresses then He'd from the stage
door in terror. They wore only their tig hi s.
but they rushed out upon the streets and
ran TO their hotel for safety. They re-
fused TO return and the play was ended.
Manager Gronan last evening printed a
card, saying that he as well as the audience
had been duped.
