KEPT THEM QUIET,
While tho robbery in tho express car
was going on, 4 third robber walked
alongside the track By tho passenger
coach and fired his revolver occasionally

Brakeman Moore, who alighted from the
rear coach to go ahead, found revolver
pushed in his face, with . warning to go
back where he belonged He ran ths -FOUR
miles to the Lincoln yards, whore be gave
tho alarm. The robbers were cool. talka-
tive and apparently experts. Tbs whole
Job occupied little TINS. The train IVES
run back to Lincoln. Tbs wrecked tx
press car was taken cut and at four
o'clock Il resumed .ts Journey. the orig
inal crew going out with It Following
It was an engine car carving Chief OF
Police Hoagland. Detective Malone and
his own bloodhcunds and three police of
flcers. At the scene OF tho hold-up the
hounds took the scent and the pursuit Of
the robbers was bex,.A.
RICH HAUL OF GOLD.
The booty OF tho robbers consisted
principally Of gold coin. This made the
burden OF the robbers exceedingly heavy
nnd accounts for q broad trail discovered
by CHIEF Hoagiand. The robbery was
originally planned to take place at St
Joseph, and the railroad men ware on
tho lookout. One Of tbs criminals tip
ped" the scheme Oft to the company, ana
this probably accounts for the Shifting
OF the crime to Lincoln. A reward Of
Il 900 has been offered by the Burlington
for tSe capture Of the gang.
Estimates on the amount secured from
the Adams Express Conpany's safe range
all the way from 5000 to SO. 600 Tho of
sloials refuse to say word about their
loss, and the only authoritative statement
Is from General Superintendent Calvert,
Of tho Burlington, who II positive the
1obbesB did not get more than 1.oos.
