OFFICERS HAVE CLEW To
TRAIN ROBBERS

ton late last night, were robbed by
four highwaymen, who had entered
the train at Harvey. The robbers,
with drawn revolvers, marched the
passengers, who were dressed only
in their night clothes, from the for
ward Pullman to a rear car, where
they were lined up and relieved of
their valuables. All of the passen-
gers had been forced to carry their
clothes along with them, and these
were all deposited in the aisle,
where the leader of the gang went
through them.
The booty was placed in sacks and,
after locking the passen gers and the
brakeman in the two Pullman cars,
the bandits pulled the bell for the
train to stop. The engineer, not
knowing what was going on, Obeyed
the order. and the robbers escaped
in the darkness.
They secured about $1,000 In
money, besides a large amount or
jewelry and watches. Two passen-
gers who were slow in crawling from
their berths when ordered were bad
ly injured by being struck by the
robbers.
