Five Maaked RandltA Hold Up Rock
Islnnd Train and Rob Its Passengers
While Lined Up ON tho Prairie.
El Reno; Okla, Oct q - Bandits
robbed the southbornd Rock Island
passenger train and all its passengers
at II a. m. Friday at siding No. 1,
about five miles south of Minco, in
the Indian Territory. The railroad
and express officials have feared a
hold-up in that section for weeks and
armed guards have been put aboard
all night trains at Ell Reno and carried
through to Chickasha- 1t had not been
thought that the outlaws were bold
enough to attack a train in midday.
Yesterday morning the trainmen were
completely surprised and they were
not prepared to offer any resistance
when five masked men came upon
them at the lonely siding.
The only persons in the vicinity at
the time were four section men. These
men tagged the train, the robbers COM
| pelling them to do so. Under the pres.
sure of Winchesters and six-shooters
the trainmen, express messenger and
all Of the score of passengers were
made to climb down from the train
and stand in line, with hands up, on
the prairie along the railway. While
three of the robbers covered the fright
ened crowd with their guns the other
two robbed them.
Jim Wright, of Minco, showed dis
| position to resist when the bandits or
dered ''hold up" They shot one of his
ears off and his hands went up. No one
else was injured.
The bandits secured about $500 in
cash and such other valuables in the
way of watches, pins and jewelry as
were in sight The passengers and
trainmen having been plucked, three
of the bandits turned their attention
to the express and mail coaches, the
others standing guard over the crowd
on the prairie. The registered mail
pouches were rifled, but the through
safe in the express car resisted all the
force of the road agents.
When the messenger had convinced
the bandits that they could not open
the strong box they resorted to dyna-
mite. Several heavy charges were ex.
| ploded, but the safe proved bandit
proof and its contents were saved.
Having taken possession of all they
could the bandits rode west. AS soon
as the trainmen could collect their
wits they got their passengers aboard
and hurried to the next station south,
Cnickasha, where posse of citizens
was formed and set out in pursuit Of
| the gang.
