BANDITS TURN TRICK NEAR
OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
Four Masked Men Secured Seven Mail
Sacks Believed to Have Contained
Valuable Contents-Thought to Be
the Same as Operated on G. N. Train

Omaha, Neb., May 23.-Four masked

cifc passenger train No. 2, known as
the Overland Limited, a few miles

The robbers evidently got on the
train at some point west of here. The
holdup occurred about five miles west
of the city limits in a deep cut along
the recently constructed Lane cutoff.
The robbers climbed over the tank and
forced the engineer to stop his train
and then proceeded to the mail car.
The clerks were forced TO open the
door and hand out seven pouches Of
registered mail.
Once they secured the bags, they
hurried away in a southerly direction
and permitted the train TO proceed
The passengers were not molested and
as soon as the robbers left the scene
Of the holdup the train came TO this
city.
A big squad Of police hurried TO the
scene and quickly started in pursuit
Of the bandits.
Near City Limits.
The robbery occurred within a mile
Of the city limits. There were eight
clerks on the mail ear, and they were
forced to open the doors. The chief
clerk was singled out and asked to
point out the registered mail This
he did and the robbers gathered up
seven pouches. The leader then re-
marked. "This is all we can get into
our automobile They left the scene
quickly.
A fusilade Of shooting was kept up
during the robbery, evidently 20 in
