GhEENH0RI ROBBERS
HELD UP A COTTON esLr TRAIN AND HAD
THEIR PAINS FOR THEIR TROUBLE.
Mistook the Baggage Car for the Express Car
Posse in furs ut

CAMDEN, Ark, Jan. six masked
men made all effort to rob the north
bound Cotton Belt traid due here at 10
O'Clock at tank ten miles south of
Camden. The object was TO secure the
exp ess money. The train stopped as
usual to take water and the negro
porter got off the train to go around to
the tank to let the water IN. He was
stopped however by a Winchester in
his face and ordered to uncoup,e the
cars. This order was obeyed and the
engineer, who was under the guard, was
made to run the car up from the train
to the distance Of mile The bandits
discovered too late that they bad made
water haul taking the baggage car
instead of the express car; They had
to grin, take their incidence and 90 to
the woods. The leader told the engin-
eer that he had the laugh on them but
they wonld see him again. The work
was SO quickly done that the passengers
did not know what vas going on til
the would-be robbers had found refuge
in the dense forest. The scene of the
robbery is more than mile from any
residence; the small station, Ruena
Vista, being about mile south. There
is no better place than this for the
bandits to plv their calling. posse
has left here in search of them. They
were masked with red bandana han
kerchefs. 1t is supposed that they
went out from Camden and it is even
intimated that they live in Camden.
4 dsps tch today from the Cotton Belt
officers states that reward of $500
will be paid for the arrest and convic-
ton of each of the parties and the gov
ernor is expected to offer a reward.
