Yes, August Flower still has the lar

A Bold Train Robbery.

Chicago, July 12.-Five masked rob
bers held up New Orleans express train
No. 4 on the Illinois Central railroad
at Mayfeld Creek, Ills, compelled the
American express messenger to open the
car and robbed the safe. The amount
they secured is not yet known, but it
is believed to have been many thousands
of dollars. More than $1,000, dropped
by the robbers in their flight, has al
ready been recovered. Bloodhounds are
on the trail of the men, and they are
being pursued through the woods and
swamps of the Missouri country along
the Mississippi river. There were five
men in the gang, and as the train pulled
around a curve they swung a lantern,
which the engineer took for warning
of danger. He stopped the train, and a
man jumped into the cab and held six
shooter in his face. The other men went
back to the express car and. after over
towering the messenger, blew open the
safe with dynamite.
