IL does not lessen the effect of these fail

FOURTH BLUE CUT HOLD vp]
Famous Spot in Missouri Scene of

AT $3.50 o'clock Wednesday night the st.

Immediately covered the engineer and fire.
man, and compelled them to get down
from the cab. At the same time another
member of the bandit gang uncouplcd the
express car from the rest of the train. The
robbers quickly climbed aboard the loco
motive and the express car, and before the
surprised trainmcn had timeto collect their
wits the bandits We're speeding down the
grade beyond Blue Cut with the engine
and the express car and Express Mcsscn-
ger Frier of st. Louis was a prisoner in
the express car.
AT 2:D Thursday morning the express
car was brought back to Independence
Express Messenger j.. a. Fricr told
the story of the robbery.
T., About five minutes after his car was de-
tachcd from the train, he said, he heard Il
rap at the side door, and thinking it was
the brakeman, opened it. A man With Il
shot gun compelled him to retreat into the
car, while two others followed with re-
lvOlvcrs and ordered him to throw up his
hands.
"Damn you, give US the keys to the
safc,' said IL of the men to the messenger
attliiS point. Fricr refused to do this and
the two men who had remained on the OUT
side lcapcd into the car. They jumped on
Fricr, pinned him to the floor and took the
keys of the safe away from him. He was
then chucllcd up into u corner with
two guns held to his head
and he was told to stay there. The third
,man then took the keys, opened the safe
and took from it several packages of
money, and after the robbers had secured
the contcnts Of the small safe they attempted
to open the large one. \ small hole,
onc-cighth of an inch in diameter, was
made in the large safe and two sticks of
dynamite put in. Frier talked to
the men. telling them they were wasting
time, as there was not a penny in the large
safe. AT this time they dcsisted from their
attempt to open it and prepared TO leave.
Before they went away one of the men
walked over to Frier and taking a s. bill
from his pocket said:
"lIcre, help yourself to n Christmas
present. we made a good haul"
. 1t is impossible to estimate the amount
of money taken from the small safe, as the
express messenger refused to state. He
admitted, however, that there was a great
deal of money which was heing shipped
for Christmas. 1t is fair to estimate it at
several thousand dollars.

We ito not want any more men in Cuba

in the field we have $4,000 we cannot arm.
