DARING AND SUCCESSFUL,
The Burlington Limited Held Up
Near Savannah, H., and the
Express Car Looted.
IT COST ONE OF The ROBBERS HIS LIFE.
The Robbers Thought to BE Rail-
rond Men, One of Them Eyident-
ly Being "a Good Bngi neer-EN-
press Messenger ByI Thinks He
Did the Fatal shooting.

Mount Carroll, H., Aug. IA dar-
ing and successful train robbery oc-
CURED at Marcus, on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway, five
miles north of Savannah, about mid
night. The fine vestibuled passenger
train of II coaches, Conductor Emer-
son in charge, was tagged at the Mt
tie station and six masked men
boarded the engine. The engineer
and firemen obeyed the Imperative
orders of the robbers, and at once
uncoupled the engine and ex-
press car from the train and ran
them a mile up the track. They
then blew up the express car with
dynamite, ran the engine north a dis
lance of a mile from Hanover, and
the locomotive becoming dead the
robbers abandoned it and escaped.
One Robber Killed.
One of the highwaymen was killed,
being shot above ,Ae eye and also
in the leg. He met instant death
while in the engine, and his body
was dumped to the ground by his
companions as they sped away. The
express messenger, Byl, claims to
have done the shooting. The deed
was done quickly, the trainmen and
passengers making no defense. Six
sacks of silver were secured, thought
to contain about $500. The passen-
gers were not molested.
There was no way of telegraphing
news of the hold-up, and tlagman
walked back and gave the alarm. A
special train of citizens and several
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 method
ically,
The train attacked is one Of the
finest in the world, and usually car
ries considerable money, which must
have been known by the highway
men.
The Dead Robber.
The dead robber was stranger in
this vicinity, lie was q middle-aged
man and well dressed. In his pocket
was found an Iowa Central mileage
credental from Grinnell to Gilman,
Ia, issued in the name of A. l.. Ja-
cobs.
Four explosions were required to
complete the destruction of the safe
and the ear was badly wrecked. The
robbers were eight in number, all
masked. They evidently were rail-
road men, one being good engineer.
Messenger william Byl fired five shots
at the robbers, but without avail, and
an attempt was made to blow him
up in his ear, The bandits had ar
ranged to ditch the entire train OF
nine heavily laden coaches, had not
the signal to stop been needed. Sew

all of logs, the farmhouses of wood,
painted white, and there We're not many
of either. The road, like all other roads
in the south and everywhere else in
farming countries in the United States,
was just about wide enough for two
wagons to pass each other, so 1t al-
lowed us to ride only four abreast.
Sometimes the road bent and sug-

was absolutely no change Of scenery

really felt some pleasurable excitement
