KILLED In
TRAIN H0LD-UP

Mt. Carroll, H., Aug. Ga dar-
ing and successful train robbery oc-
Cured at Marcus, on the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railway, 5
miles north OF Savanna, about mid
night.
The fine vestibuled passenger
train OF eleven coaches, with Con-
ductor Emerson in charge, was
tagged at the little station and six
masked men boarded the engine.
The engineer and fireman obeyed
the imperative orders aud the rob
bers at once uncouple1 the engine
and express car from the train and
ran them quarter of a mile up the
track. They then blew up the car
with dynamite, ran the engine a
distance of milo from Hanover,
and the locomotive becoming dead
the robbers abandoned it and es-
capped.
One of the highwayman was kill
ed, being shot above the eye and
also in the leg. lie met instant
death while in the engine and his
body was dumped to ground by his
companions as they sped away. The
express messenger, Bye, says he did
the shooting.
The robbery was done quickly,
the trainmen and, passengers max
ing no defense. Six sacks of money
were secured, but the amount is
not known. The passengers were
not molested.
There was no way of telegraph
ing news Of the hold-up and flag
man walked back and gave the
alarm.
A special train of citizens and sew.
eral policemen at once proceeded to
the scene, but as the track runs along
the Mississippi and the country is
well adapted to successful flight,
the robbers easily escaped. The work
was evidently that of experts as they
went at it coolly and methodically.
The train attacked is one Of the
finest in the world, and usually car
ricd considered bic money, which must
have been known by the highwaymen.
The dead robyer was u stranger in
this vicinity. lie was middle aged
and well dressed.

that a little after the time of tho
murder one unrecoynized man was
overheard to say to another: Il
killed the and at another: keep
your mouth Shut
The murder is supposed to have
resulted from FlnkclsLein S action in

frcm it, he said, and when the police
did not raid the houses he filed com.
plants with the Sheriff.
