Bandits Lay for Pay Car
and Trap Passengers Be
tween Burning Bridges.
THEIR PLAN is FRUSTRATED
Fail to Secure Money, But Terrorize
Passengers-Routed BY Train
Crew Who Threaten Them.

Reynolds. Ind, Oct. 22.-The boldest
and most picturesque attempt at a rail-
way hold-up in Indiana was reported
yesterday from Reynolds. Ind, near
which place five bandits were routed in
an effort to rob Panhandle pay train
carrying between $4,000 and $4,000.
To accomplish their design the rob-
bers burned two railroad bridges with
in two miles, planning to trap the
treasure train between two streams.
They bungled, and imprisoned pas
senger train instead. and when the
pay train drew up later and was
stopped at the first bridge they had
lost their strategic position and We're
repulsed by armed resistance.
When they found that they had
halted a passenger train their nerve
failed. Instead of dynamiting the
train and shooting those who might
oppose them, the hold-up men took to
the woods. Not a passenger aboard
the trapped train was molested.
Road officials Staggered.
Officials Of the railroad We're stag
gered by the boldness of the scheme.
Only when confirmation of the first
report reached them yesterday would
they believe that two bridges across
rivers had been burned with a train
between them.
All manners OF hold-ups had been
recorded in the history OF American
ratlroading, including the burning of
bridges ahead of a train and the wreck
of the train to be robbed. But there
was no precedent for a train being held
up between the bridge ahead and the
firing of the bridge behind before a
train could back out of danger.
The bandits knew that a pay train
with a large sum of cash aboard was
| to go over the lines from Logansport
and thence to Chicago, starting or
Saturday morning and making the triT
during the day.
| In time to catch the pay train &
/ bridge over a deep ravine and river
was burned east of Reynolds and JUS
east of Monticello But instead Of tht
pay train local passenger train wa:
switched in on the pay train schedul,
and was halted by q signal from tn,
bandits ahead
The three men who had tagged tn,
train to loot it recognized their mis-
take when they brought the train t
halt and found that it was made vi
of passenger coaches and baggage
car. But in the meantime the tw,
other bandits of the gang had fire,
the bridge behind of the train and /
or telegraphic service.

enormous quantities of it, the piles OF

future of the country, alone has made
the utilization of waste possible and
the production of steel so much
cheaper that the captains of industry
are enabled TO pay their employees lib
eral wages and then sell the finished
product in foreign markets cheaper
than 1t can be produced there whore
labor is cheap and conditions for its
production are just as favorable.
Gary, the city, is but an incident
to the building of the steel mills. The

The far-seeing flnanciers who are
back of the project realize how i'm
portant is the human element in the
production of steel. They know that
men who live well work well and so
they determined to build model city.
Gary has risen out of the sand dunes
because the energy of its future
100000 people are needed in the pro-
duction of rails and slabs just as much
as is the lime and coke that goes into
the furnaces.
And when one has seen the wonder

viewed the marvellous transformation
that has taken place there, his conf
dence in the future of Gary, the city
and in the future of the Calumet re
gion as a whole, is unlimited.

The building of the city of Gary is
childs play compared with the build
ing Of the enormous mills over on the
north side OF the Calumet river This
is the impression that every one gets
who is fortunate enough to have the
privilege Of visiting the mill site.
The discovery OF this fact is a sur
prise to every one and has the effect
OF impressing the sightseer with the
wonderful magnitude of the project as
a whole.
So much has been written of the
model city of Gary and so little of
the enormous mills that are the sole
reason for the existence OF that city.

of Gary is the most important part

ALL KEYMEN TO UNITE

Railway Operators.

Chicago. Oct. 22-Dehnite action
looking to the amalgamation of the
Commercial Telegraphers' union and
the Order of Railroad Photographers
was taken at the mass meeting of the
striking operators yesterday.
BY unanimous vote and the cheers
the eighteen delegates chosen to rep
resent the Chicago union at the special
convention. which will begin in Mil
waukee tomorrow. were instructed TO
present a resolution calling for the
immediate amalgamation of the rail
road and commercial telegraphers.
That the officials of both organiza-
lions have had negotiations along this
line, and that the amalgamation would
not be unacceptable to the railroad
telegraphers, was intimated by officials
of the commercial operators.

is understood that the railroad teleg-

this move would not be unacceptable

commercial operators union.

of long standing grievances with sew

verse is true.
However. it is only necessary for
the observer to make a leeting trip
from town site to mill site and back
again to be convinced that the here
tofore empty statement that at Gary
the United States Steel corporation is
TO build the greatest steel mills in the
world, promises the most generous full

Order Impressive.
As one crosses the temporary bridge
over the Calumet river and enters the
domain of the Indiana Steel corpora
ton. on the extension of Broadway. he
passes the magnificent office buildings
and notices that the street is lined
with factory buildings. He is inn
pressed at first with the orderly ar
rangement of the buildings and especi-
ally with the fact that they are most
substantially built.
The wonders that he is to see lie
farther on. however. where in the dis
lance tons of steel rise heavenward
and form ragged sky line. While the
first impression is that of an orderly
arrangement. the final ones are those
of complete chaos and one wonders
how the brain of man could have de-
vised so complex process for the pro-
duction of steel products.
You look at the rails which have al
ready been laid between the various
buildings and 1t seems incredible that
for the production of one OF them, all
that tangle Of steel all OF those pom
derous foundations the ships that
bring in the ore, the beds that are
built for its reception. the furnaces
that refine it, and the mills that roll

Some Ready for Roofs.
AS progress into the heart OF what
will soon be one of the busiest spots
in the world is made. building after
building comes into view. Some of
them are so nearly completed that the
roof is being placed over them. 9th
ers are incompleted webs OF steel, and
still others are marked only by the
hardening foundations of concrete.
And what part concrete plays in
the building of this great industry
The floors of the machine shops are Of
concrete; thousands Of yards of it go
into the foundations, the ore beds are
made OF it, and II IS so universally
used that it is easy to prophesy the
concrete age when this useful material
Will be as necessary to human prog
ress as bread.
But chaos becomes order when the

ing apparatus will deposit it on the
docks. Enormous travelling cranes
will pick up tons of it at a time and
distribute it over what is known as
the ore beds
These beds are made of concrete
the walls of which rise twenty-five
feet high. In reality they are enor-
nous bins three hundred feet wide and
extend for mile along the edge of the
harbor on the west side of the mill
site. The amount of concrete that

most beyond belief
