Ell RENO, /. T., Oct 1.-Bandits
robbed the south bound Rock Island
passenger train and all its passengers
at II o'clock this forenoon at Siding No. 1,
about five miles south Of Minco. in the
Indian Territory.
The place is uninhabited and the only
persons in the vicinity at the time were
four section men These section men
tagged the train, the five masked rob-
bers having compelled them to do so.
The bandits were hidden at the time In
brush pile and jumped out as soon as
the passenger train had taken the sid
ing.
Under the pressure of Winchesters and
sixshooters the trainmen. express mes
senger and all Of the score or more OF
passengers were made to climb down
from the train and stand In line. hands
up, on the pIH-ie along the railway.
While three of the robbers covered the
badly frightened crowd with their guns
the other two coolly and carefully robbed
them, passing from one male passenger
to another down the line. The bandits
secured about $500 in cash and such
other valuables in the way of watches,
pins and jawelry as were in sight.
The few women passengers were not
compelled to give up their valuables.

Lo
"hands up" They shot one of his ears
off to prove to his satisfaction that his
bravery was i'll advised. Wright's hands
then went up. No one else was injured.
The robbers turred their attention to
the express and mail coaches. The reg
istered mail pouches were quickly rified
but the through safe in the express car
resisted all the force and ingenuity of
the road agents, although battered by
dynamite.
Having taken forcible possession of
everything they could carry away, the
bandits mounted their horses and rode
off toward the west. s.
The train proceeded to Chickasaw,
where posse Of citizens was hurriedly
formed. 1t is hardly possible that the
bandits can be overtaken in the prairie
country, and they will probably be able
to reach the Wichita mountains to the
west Of the scene Of the hold-up.
officers here believe the gang to be
the same one that held up Santa Fe
trains at Edmunds twice during last
month.
