Two Men Conceived a Good Plan to Rob Michigan Central
 Express Car.
\ CHANGE OF SCHEDULE TIME
 UPSET THEIR CALCULATIONS.
They Carried Ont Their Programme
 to the Extent of Knocking One Man Unconscious and Gaggins
 Him, and Then Fled When They Found They Had Made a Mistake.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-- A bold attempt by two men to lock themselves in a Michigan Central railroad express car with the express messenger, overpower him after the train had left the yards at Thirteenth street, and then rife the two safes in the car, was frustrated, Sunday evening, when the plans of the wouldbe robbers miscarried.
 Expressman Knocked Unconscious.
 William Ganghin,. an expressman was knocked unconscious and gagged in the express car shortly after eight o'clock in the evening, and then the men discovered he was not the express messenger, and, fearing detection, fed This is the theory of the railroad of fcials. The express messenger who has charge of the car left Chicago at 3:30 o'clock Monday morning with one guard and about $25 1000 in two safes in the car. This money, it is believed was the object of attack of the two men. Ganghin was taken to St. Luke's hospital, and it was found his shoulder had been dislocated and he had sus- IoAhNo oSFSIS pi tAlCOS. 1I 1O lIcd AOC been discovered in the car in time, the physicians say, he would have smoth- cred to death because of the gag in his month.
 Police Investigating.
 The police are Investigating the case. Nothing was taken from the ex- pressmen and the property in the car was untouched.
 It was at first though that Ganghin was attacked instead of Harry Orr, an- other employe in the yards, who had trouble with discharged employe re- recently.
 The police were summoned and Ganghin was taken to the hospital, but 1t was not until the congressman re- vived and told of the mysterious at tack that the attempted robbery theory presented itself When the officials of the railroad and express companies learned of the affair they began an in- vestigation. Ganghin says nothing was taken from him by the robbers, which leads him to believe he received the beating intended for Express Messen- ger Half
