It is said that the Morgan people are negotiating to buy or lease the Evans vile and Terre Haute for the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville (Monon). The roads are not connected at present, but the building of twenty-eight miles would do all that is necessary, and in any case the Southern Indiana could be purchased cheap and would save any building at all. At present the Evansville and Terre Haute forms the connecting link between the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Louisville an d Nashville, and the form CT could not well afford to have that road fall into the hands of the Monon, which has little use for the line.

DETECTIVES ARE
 HUNTING BANDITS
Memphis Robbery Was Daring and' No Arrests Have
 Yet Been Made

Memphis. April 23.-Detectives have been at work all day at the scene of the daring train robbery on the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, near Iron Mountain crossing, Arkansas, at an early hour this morning, but so far no arrests have been made. It is stateu by an official of the wells-FargoN Express Company that the bandits secured not less than $300.
 It is suspected that the men who perpe- trated the robbery were in Memphis last night. A short time before the west-bound train over the Kansas City, Memphis and Fort Scott left the Calhoun street depot at S:30 o'clkfk last night, two men ap- nroached tlk ticket window and asked for tickets to Bridge Junction. General Ticket Agent Coltart and Night Agent Wash ington were ou duty at the time. They declined to sell them tickets to that point, stating that 1t was against the rules, and that no trains stopped there The men insisted on buying tickets. both appearing nervously anxious to get out on the train about to leave.
 The supposition Is that the roppeIy was planned to take place at Bridge June tion and the robbers were the men who wanted tickets to that point last night. their purpose being to go to Bridge June tion on the Kansas City s:30 train and wait for the coming of the Choctaw ex- press which reaches Bridge Junction about 12:03 a. m.
 General Agent Longacre of the Wells Fargo Company went to Hubert tnls morning. Before leaving Memphis he was asked how much money was in the safe but declined to answer.
 Cashier Murphy stated that it was cus- tomary to carry money in large amounts on daylight runs. He would not say how much money. if any, was sent out of Memphis last night MT. Longacre re- turned from Hubert this afternoon. He said every effort was being made to ap- prehend the bandits. and that private de- tectives and special agents of the rail- road and the express company were en- gagged on the case, Owing to the bottoms being overfiowed he does not think the dogs will be able to trail the fugitives. The Wels-Fargo Express Company has a standing reward which will apply in this case MT. Longacre thinks the rob- bery was the work of seven men.
