Believed to Be Making For the
Louisiana Line.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4.-From informa-
ton received in this city at the offices
Of the vice president and General Man
ager Britton of the st. Louis South
western road Cotton Belt) six instead
of five men held up the passenger train
last night near Eylau station, Tex.
After blowing up the safe in the ex-
press car with dynamite, the robbers Sc.
cured two sacks of loot. This they
transferred to the engine, which had
been detached from the other cars. En-.
g1neer Henderson was compelled to put
out the headlight by the robbers, who
put him off and took charge Of the en-
gine, saying two of their number knew
as much about running it as he did.
The engine went south at full speed,
followed by Engineer Henderson on a
handcar, which he had secured from a
nearby switchhouse.
Early this morning he came up with
his deserted engine about 4 miles from
the scene of the robbery.
The robbers, whom the engineer be-
leved from their actions were railroad
men, had escaped into the dense wood
surrounding the track at this point.
Engineer Henderson could not give a
very accurate description of the men,
but said they were all young and wore
masks.
Did Not MoIest Mail Car.
The engineer ran back, picked up the
mail and express cars, and going to the
remainder of the train, coupled on and
continued south. Neither the passen-
ger nor the mail cars were molested by
the robbers. The train held up left st.
Louis Monday evening.
At 2 a. m. a posse of hOrsemen, under
the sheriff of Boyd county, left Tex
arkana to scOur the woods on both sides
of the track. They were followed at
2:30 a. m. by another posse ON an en-
gine.
The bloodhounds kept at the peniten-
tiary at Rusk, Tex, for tracking es.
capped convicts are being hurried to the
scene of the robbery on q special train.
Everything that can be done to capture
the robbers, the Cotton Belt officials
say, will be done.
General Superintendent Fuller Of the
Pacific Express company, whose safe on
the Cotton Belt train was reported
blown open and robbed, stated that he
had received no particulars of the hold
up. All he knew, he said, was that it
had occurred.
He did not believe the loss was heavy,
for, he said, not very much money is
carried on that train. He declined to
state the amount shipped on that date.
When asked what he thought the
robbers carried off in the two sacks they
were reported to have taken from the
express Car, Superintendent Fuller said
they might have contained silver cur.
rency, possibly $1,000 in each. Banks
were closed in St. Louis on Monday
when the train left here, and for that
reason it is believed by the railroad Off
Gals that the sum Of money shipped
was not heavy,
