STOLE CLASS PRESIDENT.

The Goddard Juniors thought they
would help the seniors out on their
class ride this afternoon, by reducing
their number somewhat, so when Pres
ident Ned Wells walked down street
about 10 O'Clock this forenoon he sud-
denly disappeared 1t is understood
that he Was confined here in the city
until noon, two Juniors keeping him
company, and then he was taken out
about five miles in a team.
The plan then was to take him
about two mi aS toward Berlin Pond
and tie him to a tree for the rest of
the Seniors to find when they came
along. The original plan was to cap
ture several more Sen ors to keep
Wells company but this was abandoned.
Wells is said to have made no resist
ance when captured, and if he had it
would probably have done no good.
The Seniors have been hunting high
and low for him and swearing VEN
geance but without avail.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO
LIMITED HELD UP.
New York and Washington Express
Attacked in Indiana.
TWO MAIL CARS WERE DYNAMITED.
The Failure Of the Robbers TO Make q Rich
Haul Was Due TO the Fact That the Express
Car, Which Contained the Trains Treasure,
Was In al Unususl Place..It Was the
Third Car Ia the Train.

Chicago (SpeciaD The Baltimore
and Ohio passenger train from the East
which was due to arrive in the Grand
Central Depot Chicago, at o'clock, was
held up by five masked men at 8 o'clock
between Edgemore and Grand Calumet
Heights, Ind, 81 miles out from Chicago
One of the mail cars, which contained
no money was dynamited and wrecked
The attempt at robbery was made after
the two mail cars had been detached
from the train and run a quarter of
mile ahead The failure of the robbers
to make a rich haul was due to tbs fact
that the express car, which contained the
trains treasure, was in an unusual place.
1t was the third car in the train Hitter
wrecking the mail car and obtaining no
booty the robbers disappeared in the
darkness. The only loot that they carried
away with them as a result of their ad-
venture was the gold watch of the en-
gineer,
The train was the New York and
Washington vestibuled limited. Most Of
the trainmen were shot at and had mar
row escapes from the bullets No person
was injured, either by the dynamite or
firearms
The place where the robbery occurred
is a district in which few people live. No
better place for train robbery could be
desired
The train was running at a high rate
OF speed as it passed Calumet Heights
Immediately after passing out of sight
OF the station Engineer J. w Collins
saw directly in front OF his engin
large hre, on which some rails had been
placed. He slowed down, and as he
did so three men wearing masks jumped
into the cab and covered Collins and his
fireman, James Whipple, with pistols.
Just before climbing into the cab the
three men commenced to fire with their
pistols in order to frighten away all as
sistance to the engneman. The shots
produced the lveliest kind of a panic in
the sleeping cars, where the passengers
made every 'ffort to hide their money
and valuables before the robbers could
get at them. No attempt was made,
however, to rob any OF the passengers.
The .fysillade had the effect OF making
them Seep inside the cars.
