NO WORD FROM DETECTIVES
SENT TO SULPHUR SPRINGS.

Information from the fugitive Union Bank
robbers was expected at police headquar-
tiers last night through Special Officers
Cifre and Gavin, who were sent to Sui
phur Springs. but not a word was received
A conductor of the Iron Mountain Rail-
road informed Captain Pickel of the Caron-
delet Police Station that two men, who
looked like Rudolph and Lewis had ridden
on an Iron Mountain freight train from
Potosi. Potosi is thirty miles south of st.
Louis. where the two abandoned horses
were found Monday morning. and Sulphur
Springs is about ten miles north. of there
/. The Information conveyed to the police
through the conductor caused the belief
that the fugitives deserted their horses at
Potosi and boarded the train. which they
left at Sulphur Springs. and that they
struck out for st. Louis afoot.
Believing that the men would come to ST.
Louis, the entire southern border Of the city
was cordoned with officers armed with riot
guns. but these preparations had no fruit
full results and the opinion was entertained
by the local authorities that the men were
still at Sulphur Springs
The failure of Officers Cliffe and Gavin to
report progress is causing some uneasiness
at the First District Station. 1t Is the
theory Of some that they are on the track
of or chasing the robbers.
