cifc and Escape with Its
Contents.

ST. LOUIS, July "A special from Dallas,
Tex, to the Post-Dispatch says: General
Manager Thorn of the Texas & Pacific rail
road today made the following statement
about the train robbery on his road near
Stanton last night:
six robbers, all masked, except the leader,
tagged our No. 3, westbound express at 10
o'clock last night, five miles west of Stan :
ton, on the staked plain between the Col
ored and Pecos rivers, one of the most desc

cred the engine crew with rifles, cut the
express car loose, forced the trainmen to
move II onto a side track, and then blew
II up with dynamite. Nobody was hurt, but
the car was wrecked, the sides and bottom
being blown out. The robbers then blew
up the through express safe, wrecking 1t
and badly damaging its contents. What

horses they rode away to the southwest. /

DRIVES TO HIS OWN ROBBERY
Ike Burke Has n Peculiar Experience
with n Pair of Ncrvy High
weymcu.

Ike Burke. a hack driver, was made the
victim Of the clever plan OF two ~footpads
yesterday morning who used his vehicle to
convey them to a spot lonely enough for
their purpose. Burke drove the men to
Twenty fourth street and Ames avenue,
where he was held up and robbed OF S14.25.
The hack driver was standing in front OF
a saloon near Twelfth and Douglas streets
at 3 o'clock, when he was hailed by two
men from the opposite corner. He crossed
over and one OF them inquired his price Tor
a trip to Twenty-fourth street and Ames
avenue. Burke said that he wanted ", but
the other remarked that he only had S1,5O
and wanted very much to get home. Burke
finally agreed to the price and drove the
men to the corner mentioned, which is a
particularly lonesome spot.
AS the hack drew up to the sidewalk the
men threw open the door and one stepped
on the sidewalk, while the other covered
Burke with a revolver through the front
window. The man outside then called the
drivers attention to the revolver protruding
from the window and told him to throw
up his hands. Burke had no weapon and
complied, while TIE robber made a search
of his pockets. The driver says that he
had been paying unusually close attention to
business, in view OF the fact that he had
a note approaching date of payment and he
had collected $14. 25 as the fruit of his nights
work. When the robber had found Burke's
money he told his companion to get out
disregarding a considerable amour
OF jewelry about Burke's person
Then he said to Burke, "Tur
around and get on back to town and dom
look around" Burke obeyed, but observed
that the footpads ran west on Ames avenue
The robbers used no disguise, except q
heavy beard and moustache, which the
driver noticed became disarranged, as
the spokesman talked. They were large
men, we'll dressed and apparently intelli.
gent. Burke is confident that he would
recognize the one that examined his cloth
ing. Earlier in the evening men of the same
description were seen by a block watchmaI
in a saloon near Tenth and Dodge streets
where they were apparently trying to induce
strangers to enter a game of cards. TIL,
Waterman went to notify a patrolman, bu
when the two returned the men had disap
peared.
Burke thinks that the robbers may hav
observed him when he entered the saloon t
change a bill. The driver has been Il
Omaha for many years, and is one of tn
best known hackmen in the city.
