$1,000, 1t Is now stated, We're secured
by the bandits who held up the Bur-
lington train Tuesday night in ravine
near savanna Illinois.
The Adams Express Company, there
fore, instead of incurring loss va
riously estimated at between $1,000
and $2O,ooo, is out 100000 in round
figures.
Officials of this company, rs well ms
the heads of the Burlington system.
sought to minimize the reputed loss for
the amount set. They followed the ex-
ample Set by the American Express
Company and the Northwestern road
after the Tower "W" hold-up four
years ago, At that time the statement
was made by representatives of the
two corporations that only $1,000 had
been taken. 1t developed months later
that S75,ooO had been stolen. In point
Of loss the Burlington train robbery
surpasseS its rival by $4,000.
The suspicion is now entertained by
railroad men that the bandits had con-
federateS who secured information near
