and came near falling from the train. He
turned back and picked up "a small ropc

the footboard, while the other swung clear
over the side of the car in front of the
door. 1t was II simple affair, this ladder
Merely few yards of cheap rope knotted
together in such u way as to give man
the means Of reaching down to the car door
and breaking the seal, drawing the latch
pin and crawling inside.
Taking the ladder, the brakeman went

and the doors of four cars were found 20

advantage of the slowness with which the
train moved up the grade, had jumped off
and escaped. Their scheme of theft was.
however, fully exposed. Boarding the
trains at Elkhart to avoid suspicion ut
South Bend, it had been their custom to
Chamber 10 the top of the ears on leaving
the latter town and swing themselves over
The sides by means of the rope ladders
Here, swaying to and fro in IL dangerous
position while the train was under full
Roadway and in Imminent risk Of being
hurled To death, they would break open The
doors and crawl inside. On reaching the
grade II was the work of few minutes
only to throw out several boxes of goods,
slide the doors back into place and get back
again 10 the roof of the cars from which
they would take up the ladders. and,
crawling down by the iron rails at the
side, jump off as the train reached the
minimum of speed on the grade.
Encouraged by this discovery the off
Gals of the company kept up the search
and had the satisfaction finally of running
down the offenders and landing the worst
of them in the Indiana pcnitcntiary. They
were tracked first toa bunch of woods near
Rivcrtialc, Ills. where they had IL snug
camp. From this they would come down
the river in boats and make their way To II
station on one of the roads they had selected
for attack. Having committed the rob
