H Chicago. Oct 1S.-The northwestern
limited train leaving Chicago at 1880
last night, was held up not far from
De. Kalb, Ills, and robbed. The hold
up occurred at Tawer w, three miles
from Maple Park. His. at about mid
night lit is not known whether the rob
bers secured any great amount of
booty.
A special train containing a number
of armed men and detectives left the
northwest station in Chicago early this
morning bound for the scene of the
robbery 1t is said there were five
masked men engaged in the operation,
The train was tagged and while two
of the men compelled the engineer and
fireman TO run the engine ahead. the
balance robbed the train. The train
dlspatcher's office of the Northwestern
road in this city admitted the truth
of the story to the Central police Off
Gals.
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the
train was due at Maple park the rob-
bers burst into the station house and.
presenting, revolvers ait the head of the
station agent, compelled him to remain
quiet While they bound him. After ty-
ing him fast to a chair they forced a
ly helpless. The signals We're then
changed so that the train would be
compelled to stop before reaching the
depot.
The robbers went down the track to
the point where the train was stopped
and waited for it. AS soon as it came
to halt two of the men covered the
engineer and fireman with revolyers
and after uncouplfng the engine COM
PEELED the engineer to run it down the
track two miles, They then blew up
the express car with dynamite. practic-
ally demolishing it and blocking the
track. They then blew open the safe
and rifled it. 1t is not known how
much money they secured.
Immediately after grabbing what
they could from the safe, the robbers
fed into the darkness. They are now
being pursued, but the robbers have
quite a lead over the posse that is af-
ter them.
Engineer Daniel White was shot and,
it is reported very seriously wounded
in the breast, because he refused to
run his engine away from the train.
After shooting him one of the robbers
ran the engine down the track two
miles to a switch, where it was killed -
1t is also reported that the station
agent was badly pounded up and was
left unconscious on the floor when the
robbers went out to stop the train. 1t
it not thought his injuries are fatal,
but it was two hours after being as
saulted before he recovered conscious
ness

RHODES NARROW ESCAPE.
Came Near Being Captured On His
Wav 20 Kimberley.

London, Oct 14-According to the
kimberley correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph. Cecil Rhodes had a narrow
sseape from capture while on his way

@assed the Modder river three hours
after the expiration of the ultimatum,
when the Beers were only five miles
distant and some of their spies were
actually on the platform.
Mr.. Rhodes laid low and was not
recognized Had he been his capture
would have been easy, as the line was
not defended. He believes the strength
Of the enemy is greatly exaggerated
and that they will not attack the en-
trenchments The chief cause OF
anxiety is ignorance OF their artillery
strengths.
