ST. Louis HOLD-UP.
Six Masked Men Stop a Train in
the City Limits.
COULDN'T CRACK THE SAFE.

pIlshed In IS Minutes.
The Iron Mountain fast express train, out
going, was held up one mile from the Union
Station within the city limits OF st. Louis az
$50 Wednesday night, by six masked men,
The express safe could not be opened, and
the bandits fed without booty.
One Of the men stood in the center OF the
track and waved a red lantern, signifying
that danger was ahead. The engineer
stopped the train, and no sooner had hs
done 80 than two masked men jumped on
the engine cab, and presenting revo!verS,
told the engineer to keep the engine still on
pain Of death. Two OF the other robbers
made for the express car, while the remain
ing two stood guard outside. In less than
fifteen minutes the whole thing was over,
and the conductor fastened to tho nearest
telephone and notified the police.
The two robbers who went to the express
car demanded admittance, but Express Mes
senger ". J. Egan refused to lei them In.
They threatened to kill him II he did not,
and this threat failing, they placed a stick OF
lynamite at the car door and blew 1t to
pieces, badly shattering one side Of the car.
Fortunately, it was through car, and the
money was In tlme-locked safe. Finding
their efforts useless to blow open the safe,
the robbers jumped from the car and noti-
fed their companions on the engine that
they had failed to secure anything.
iIConductor VIM Hall came forward to
learn what had occurred. He was met by
one OF the thieves, who, pointing revolver
a. his head, ordered him to go to the ENar OF
the train. TIE robbers then left, and Engi-
neer VIM. Green started on. At Jefferson
Barracks Express Messenger Egan said the
Pacific Express Company had lost nothing.
Had 1t been on a local, instead OF a
through train, they might have secured
some booty, but the through cars always
carry burglar-proof timelock safes.
The place where the robbery occurred was
at Bates street crossing. There Is deep cut
there, and the noise OF the exploding dyna-
mite was smothered by the cliffs at each side
OF the track.
The passengers on the train were In no
way disturbed, and it was half an hour be
fore anyone realized what had happened.

Engineer Ingles, who killed bandit
and saved his train from robbery near
/ Davisville, Cal, one night few weeks
ago, has been richly rewarded for his
heroiSm by the two corporations whose
property he preserved on that occasion

Company presented him with a written
certificate of his courage, gold chron.

$3.50 in gold. Wells, Fargo g. Co.'S

the written feature Of this pres.
entation and added TO it a set of dia.

the written evidence of his hero

as a result of that nights work. We
advert to the good fortune Of this en-
gineer for the purpose of making q
single remark. That is this: The rec

suppressing train robbery in California
than all the laws that could be passed,

"This appears to be the belief of the

evidence for it. traveller in that far
off country says;
"The japanese have made a race of
giant men-a race of wrestlers. These
wrestlers often weigh 200, 800 and 400
pounds. At the Imperial Hotel, in To-

rice and threw me down"
my courier sand: This wrestler is
the Sullivan of Japan. No one can
throw him."
That rice, which every chemist knows
to be mostly composed of starch, should
possess such elements of force appears
almost incredible. If we had been told
that those wrestlers lived on wheat,
or corn, or barley, we should be quite
ready to accept it. Yet the strong por-
tiers of South America are said to live
much on rice.

Rice can be grown upon our high hill
lands as successfully as corn. We
know this from actual tests in the last
few years, having grown Japanese rice
in this manner. What we need and
