Train IS ROBBED
ALMOST IN THE HEART OF MIN
NEAPoLiS az TWO MEN
DISGUISED.
They Went Through the Sleeping Car
and Escaped. The Robbery Nets
S4l and Two Gold Watches. Man
Hunt Begins.

Minneapolis, April 1.-Two daring
robbers held up the passengers in
the standard sleeper of Northern
Pacific train No. in the very heart
OF Minneapolis shortly after O'Clock
last night and after securing al and
two gold watches pulled the air cord
and when the train slowed down
jumped of the train at Twenty fifth
avenue north.
Although the neighborhood was
secured by number of policemen,
detectives and railway special agents,
the two nervy bandits had, eluded
capture up to an early hour this morn
ing.
Owing to the excitement over the
robbery, it was impossible to secure
an accurate description of the men,
but both are said to be small, one man
appearing to be about fifty years of
age. Both robbers wore masks.
Passengers who were robbed are:
w. s. Smith, Fargo, 81.
L. NJ. Perkins, Fargo, $11.
r. F. Wilson, Mayville, N. D., IS.
Amsgar Gyhesem, Minneapolis, $13
and gold watch.
William Parsons, Minneapolis, s.
and gold watch.
Mr.. Parsons has rooms in the Min
neapolis Y. M. G. A.
1t is supposed that the men boarded
the train at Minneapolis, for they en-
tered the sleeper, which was on the
end of the train, before the train had
gotten fairly out of the station. The
passengers were covered with guns
and compelled to part with there val
uables. The robbers, however, only
secured $41 and two gold watches.
BY the time they had secured their
booty the train was nearing Twenty
fifth avenue north. One of the men
calmly reached for the air cord, and
the engineer, not knowing the circum-
stances, slowed down in response to
the signal given him. When the train
had slackened speed somewhat the
robbers went to the rear platform,
keeping the passengers covered, and
jumped from the train.
"A soou uescrlptlOn OF the men ls
lacking, as the dispatcher directed
that the train proceed, and it was i'm
possible to get details from passen-
gers and conductor.
The conductor did not know of the
hold-up until some time later. When
the train reached Northtown juno
ton the porter, badly frightened,
managed to get to the head of the
train with the news.
Entering the smoking compart-
ment of the sleeper the robbers called
upon trio of travelling men to hold
up their hands. While one of them
kept the victims covered the other
gathered up pocketbooks and watches
returning one timepiece because it
had silver instead of gold case.
