TRAIN ROBBED
Masked Bandits Secure Seven
Registered Pouches.
HELD LARGE AMOUNT MONEY

Robbers Forced Mail Clerks to Open
the Car and Kept Up a Continuous
FusiIade of Shooting to Intimidate
the Passengers and Crew-Reward
of $4,000 offered.
Omaha, Neb., May 24.-Masked ban
dts held up and robbed Union Pa
cific train No. 2, known as the Over
land Limited, five miles west of this
city. Seven registered mail pouches
were taken, believed to have contain
ed a large amount of money.
The robbers evidently got on the
train at some town farther west The
hOld-up was pulled off in a deep cut
along the recently constructed Lane
cutoff. The robbers climbed over the
tender 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 a num-
Der of pouches of registered mail
Having secured the bags, the robbers
hurried away in a southerly direction
and permitted the train to proceed.
The passengers were not molested,
and as soon as the robbers had de-
parted the train proceeded to this
city.
There were eight clerks on the mail
car and they were forced to open the
door. The chief clerk was singled out
and asked to point out the registered
mail. This he did, and the robbers
gathered up seven pouches, and the
leader then remarked: This is all we
can get into our automobile"
A continuous fusillade of shooting
was kept up during the robbery, evil
IDENTIFY to intimidate the passengers
and crew.
The Union Pacific officials at once
offered a reward of $4,000 each for the
capture of the robbers, and big force
of police and deputies from Omaha
and South Omaha started in search of
them. What direction they took after
they had left the train is indefinite,
and whether they had an automobile is
not yet known.
