Chicago. Oct. 2S.-The boldest and

from Reynolds. Ind. near which
place five bandits were routed In an
EFFORT to rob a PanhandIs pay train
carrying between $4,000 and $780,
coo.
To accomplish their design the rob-
bers burned two railroad bridges with
in two miles, planning TO trap the
treasure train between he streams.
They bungled and Imprisoned a pas
senger train instead, and when the
pay train drew up later and was stop
ped at the first bridge they had lost
their strategic position and were re-
pulsed 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.
officials of the railroad were stag
gered By the boldness Of The scheme
The passenger train was backed up
toward Reynolds to notify the dis
patcher that the track was blocked
The passenger train with more than
a hundred excited passengers aboard
would have plunged into the gap
caused by the burning Of the bridges
behind Il II the smoke had not warn
cd the aagman of the danger.
The pay train, following the pas
senger train.was also warned by the
smoke OF the burning bridges. and
was halted within a few feet OF the
burning bridge
When the crews Of the trains real
lied that the burning OF the two
bridges was part OF a plot to hold up
and rob the pay train they notified
the railroad officials and started out
a posse to hunt for the bandits. A
number of passengers Joined in the
chase, and for miles around the eoun-
try was secured.
Guards from the pay train Joined
in the hunt for the train wreckers
after an all-night and day chase the
hunt was given up.
The pay train hurried back to Rey-
rolds and to safety. and the train dis
patcher there was able 10 send word
out In both directions and stop APP
preaching trains. Passengers were
transferred across the two streams,
and, after a delay Of many hours, the
burned bridges we're replaced by tenn
porary structures and regular service
resumed.
