press messenger to open the door of his
car. The door once open, they dragged
the messenger out by the legs, throwing
him 20 10 the ground, and look his gun
away from him. The messenger was then
compelled TO walk back toward the other
portion of the train.
After securing complete possession of
the engine and the baggage and express
cars. the bandits placed twenty-four
sticks of dynamite upon the big through
safe and then lifted the smaller way safe
upon top of it They applied the fuse
and the match, and then evidently waited
for the explosion to reveal TO them the
risked.
But, for some reason, the explosive did
no. go off, and from the subsequent
velopments it is evident that dynamite
had great terrors for the men who were
not afraid to run the ordinary risks OF
train-robbery.
1t is clear that they were afraid to re-
turn TO the express-car, for, after waiting
a Jew minutes fer the expected explosion,
they hurriedly lef: the place, running
into the underbrush which SIX .rts the rail-
way in that section.
The trainmen, who had been left behind
with the passenger coaches, politely
waited reasonable length of time for the
robbers to com plete their work, and then
ran ahead to the engine and the two cars.
After some delay, for they, too, were
afraid of the dynamite, they succeeded in
lifting down the small safe and throwing
out the dynamite.
The engine was then run back to the
rest of the train and coupled on, and after
a full two hours delay the express resumed
the journey toward st. Louis.
The passengers, especially the women,
were very much frightened, and when the
robbers began shooting at En- ineer Vol
lette there was a wild scramble III all the
coaches. Diamonds. iewelry and other
valuables were hidden in every place con-
ceivable in passenger coach.
Two Chicago and Alton detectives were
on the train. Both were badly scared and
neither of them put in an appearance out
side OF their coach until it was all over,
but the telling of how it was DONE
General Superintendent w. E. GRAY was
also on the train.
The express messenger was not only
roughly handled by the road agents, but
was robbed of $31 from his private purse.
The passengers made up a purse of S25
and gave it 10 him.
County Marshal Chiles and several dep
uies, as well as squad of city police,
lett for the scene of the robbery about
midnight on special train. There seems
to be little chance of their overtaking any
OF the robbers, as it is believed that the
gang, by scattering ana coming in one at
a time, will have little trouble in getting
back into Kansas City or Independence.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 6.-Bandits
held up the Chicago and Alton express
train to- night at point less than six miles
from Kansas City. The robbery is the
third occurring on that road within year,
all within fifteen miles OF this city.

which pulled out of the Union depot at
80 o'clock this evening. was stopped by
eight masked men at Evanston. n subur-

made celebrated by the notorious James
gang, and which was the scene of two
previous robberies on the Chicago and
Alton within year, one on Dece nber %,
last. and one on October %. last.
The train was stopped at the Evanston
siding by the explosion of torpedoes W hich
had been placed on the track.
When the conductor and brakemen
went out 10 ascertain the cause of the
trouble they were covered with revolvers
in the hands of four of the eight road
agents. The other four quickly covered
the engineer and fireman. The brekemen
were com PEELED TO uncouple the bag
gage and express cars from the passenger
coaches. While this was being done one
OF the robbers busted himself going
through the pockets of Conductor Graves,
who was relieved of $22 in coin.
In the meantime the bandits at the
head of the train had ordered Engineer
Vollette and bis fireman to climb down
out Of their cab.
Engi neer Vollette hesitated until a
pistol bail was sent whistIing by his ears.
He and the fireman, after this persuasion,
climbed down quickly and two of the
robbers imm ediately took their places.
The others of the bandit crowd jumped
the express cars. This part of the train

RARE CASE OF BUSINESS HONOR
Amos #. Emo of New York Pays 100000
to Settle Debts of a War Time Failure.

The most remarkable case of bust
ness honesty and conscientiousness
ever known has come to light in the
action of Amos f. Emo of New York
who, at an estimated outlay of $780,
OOO, is paying off old claims against
firm in which he was a member, and
which failed two weeks after the out
break of the civil war. Before the war
Amos r. Emo. now of the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. was the head of the firm
of Emo, Roberts. Rhoades e. Co. In
1857 his son. Amos +. Emo, succeeded
to his fathers interest. In 1853 the
firm dissolved, and was succeeded by
the firm of Emo. Beuren 4 Valentine,
Amos +. Emo being at its head. 1t
did most extensive business in Hicks
entirely in the South.
At the outbreak of the war the
southern merchants refused to settle
their balances. Many firms crashed
and two weeks after Fort Sumter was
fired upon the firm of Emo. Beuren &
Valentine went down. The stock and
business We're sold, and the proceeds
prorated among the creditors, VINO
gladly signed IA release on receipt of
the small dividend thus secured. The
firm passed out of memory, but after
the war Mr.. Emo re-embarked in busi-
ness and prospered.
Nothing more was ever thought of
the old firm and its debts until quite
recently, when Mr.. Emo began ulstrib-
uting checks among the old creditors
of his firm, with interest at per cent.
since 1861. He enjoined confidence on
the receipt of each check, but the exhi-
bition was such rare one that the
news leaked out. Mr.. Emo positively
refuses to say word about it. Many
of those who have received the checks
know nothing about the old claims, be-
ing sons, nephews and grandchildren
of the original creditors of the old
firm. and the books in which the old
accounts were kept having been de-
stroyed. They can only take Mr.. Eno's
word for the fact that he owes them
and as to the amount.-St. Louis
