COULD JUMP BRIDGES
but Not the Nervy Motorman--Faiiure Of
az Daring Ilold.Up.


( KANSAS CITY, NO., Nov. 2T.-At
midnight last night. four men led by
Oscar Bridges, said to be a bridge and
parachute Jumper OF more or less no,
torlety. made an unsuccessful attempt
to hold up and rob an electric car filed
with passengers, bound for Independ-
encc.
Bridges was arrested after q desper.
ate tussle with the motorman and was
brought here. The other two mon es.
capped, but their names are known, and
it Is believed they also soon Will be
lodged In jail. Tho gang are said to be
the same that so boldly held up q
westbound Chicago and Alton passen-
ger train, Just outside OF Independence
about q month ago.
Tho car was the regular theatre car
returning 20 Independence from here
and contained seventy passengers.
When 1t reached lonely spot, midway
between the two cities, Bridges, un,
masked, jumped into the rear platform
and going through the car to the front
end, boldly thrust revolver to the
breast OF the motorman. Another OF the
gang who had quickly followed Bridges,
and who wore 4 mask, had just entered
the rear door and was In the act OF Or
dering the passengers TO hold up their
hands. when the conductor threw him
from the car which the motorman In
somo manner had been nble to start,
Tho two remaining robbers, who, It ap-
pears, We're to have covered the con-
ductor, became frightened at the quick
action displayed by him and when the
second robber .al.ghtcd on the ground,
the three made off to the woods.
In the meantime Bridges was tussel-
Ing with the motorman, to whose aid
souie of tho male passengers had come.
Many of the women became paralyz-
ed with fright, and screamed or cried,
refusing 10 be quicted by the conductor
or their male escorts. Bridges wasflnal-
ly oyerpowered without having fired his
revolver and the car proceeded on It's
return to Independence.
This morning Bridges was brought
here and after several hours In the
sweat box, admitted his identity and
gave the names OF his pals. These, the
police refuse to divulge at present, but
It Is known that one other Of them Is
also bridge jumper.
In addition n saloon keeper, whose
name is also withheld, gave informa-
ton to the police which makes 1t almost
positive that the cuartette were the
same who robbed the Chicago and Al
ton train, and who have committed
other depredat!ons in and around Kan
sas City within the past two months.
