WERE GREEN HANDS
 FOR TRAIN ROBBERS
An Attempted Rold-up in the Suburbs
 of Kansas City.

Kansas City. November 29.-Two men made an unsuccessful attempt to hold up the cast bound Chicago & Alton passenger train which left here for St. Louis at nine o'clock tonight. at the Alton station at Independence. d sc- cluded spot in the eastern suburbs of the town. The train had stopped at the station and the two men. armed with rifles. boarded the rear end of the train there. As the train was pulling out at 10 o'clock the men covered Brakeman James Patten with their rifles and com manded him 10 throw up his hands. The brakeman refused to obey and one Of the bandits shot him in the leg.
 The report of the gun was heard by the other frainmen. who huri jed to the end of the train. The two robbers wer, cvidently disconcerted by the turn events had taken and becoming fright oned at the approach of the trainmen. jumped from the train before it had gained much headway. The work of the bandits was very crude and they were evidently amateurs in train rob- bery. They were not masked and the injured brakeman was able to give the police good description of them.
 The Kansas City and Independence ohcers are securing the country near Independence with every prospect of capturing the robbers. The passengers were not aware that an attempt to rob the train was being made.
