ROBBED BY MASKED MEN
CHICAGO d ALTON TRAIN HELD VI
AT BLUE CUT, MO.
All the Money Hidden by the Express
Messenger, and Only a Few Pack
ages of JeweIry Secured.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. PA passenger
and express train on, the Chicago & Alton
railroad due here from Chicago and st.
Louis at o'clock was held up and robbed
by four masked men this evening at Blue
cut, between Independence and Glen
dale, Mo- The scene of the robbery is
less than twenty miles distant from Kansas
City. The train was tagged at the cut.
While two of the robbers stood guard over
the passenger coaches, the other two COW
cred the conductor, engineer and fireman
with their pistols and compelled them to
go to the express car. There the robbers
commanded the messenger to open taee door
of the car, threatening to break in the
doors should he refuse. After some delay
the robbers were admitted to the express
car. The express messenger, however, had
surmised what the trouble was While the
bandits had been demanding admission he
had quickly opened the safe, taken out
the money packages and tossed them in q
chicken coop. When he finally admitted
the robbers to the car and opened the safe
for them the strong box contained but two
or three packages of jewelry. Even at the
point of the robbers pistols and Winches-
ters the messenger insisted that he had
carried no currency Taking up the very
little booty at hand the outlaws uncoupled
having held up the train without having
fired a shot They ran the locomotive sew
eral miles to within a short distance of
Independence, where they abandoned it.
AS soon as a party of trainmen could
walk to independence the alarm was sent
out. A deputy sheriff and posse left In
dependence at about o'clock tonight and
about the same time squad of policemen
was detailed from here and left for the
scene of the robbery on special train. 1t
is thought, however that the outlaws are
row safely out of the way. There have
been three hold-ups in Blue cut. The
James gang held up a train there in 1881
A. Wygrant, general agent of the United
States Express Company at Chicago, said
tonight that the train that was held up
never carried much money. None was
shipped from Chicago by it and what there
was in the express car must have been
small sums from way stations. The amount
in the express car would not exceed 81 600
in his opinion.

any that has been made this year. Mr.:

for that reason his reception was most flat
tering. His white friends, as we'll as his
coored admirers, were out. His appeal to
the colored race to stand by the party OF

was most eloquent and effective. The col
ored voters in this county were never so
