NOT ROOM ENOUGH.
Another Car Added to the Twentieth
Century Limited.

The passenger department of the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern has
found that the five cars making up the
original Twentieth Century limited are
not sufficient to accommodate the travel
by this 20-hour train between Chicago
and New York. The necessity for put
ting on sixth car from the start at
Chicago has become SO urgent that the
train will be increased by this addition
permanently This train carries five
cars from Chicago to Cleveland, and
sists of six cars for the remainder of the
trip to New York The proposed addi-
ton will make one more, or seven cars
on the eastern end Of the run. 1t is just

Denver Detectives Believe a Gang Is

Denver, Col Oct. 17.-Special agents Of
Denver roads believe that the four men
that robbed the Burlington train few
nights ago at Woodlawn. Ne5., are the
same that robbed the Denver & Rio
Grande at the western base of Marshall
pass two months ago.
There were four men in the Marshall
pass robbery, and four in the Woodlawn
robbery Their actions and business-lii1e
methods were similar. In the Marshall
pass holdup they robbed the passengers

the WoodlaNn robbery they got about
$50. coo. and for this reason 1t is believed
they did not disturb the passengers.

Rio Grande train. They disappeared
