ROB MAIL CAR IN

-Four Men Take Registered
Pouches and Disappear.

Omaha, Neb., May "a. - Although
the police department of this city and
the sheriff have had four large forces
OF men securing the country in the
vicinity of the scene of the holdup on
the Union Pacific railroad, three
miles west of the city, since the rob
berry occurred, little progress has
been made toward finding the rob
lbers. Two empty mail pouches taken
from the train were found some dis
,tance from the point where the rob.
berry occurred They had been cut
and their contents removed the out
laws overlooking only one package.
That the robbers laid their plans
well is apparent. They dropped from
sight so quickly that not a single
person has been able to give a clew
to the direction in which they went.
All four of the men wore long rain
coats and their features were masked.
It has been learned that a signal
fire was burning on the bank near
where the robbery occurred. and 1t is
believed to nave been used as sig
nal for the robbers on the train in
order that they might know where to
execute their designs. The robbery
occurred just at the city limits and
not out in the country. as at first re-
ported.
Conductor Wallace, who had charge
Of the train, says he was more sur
prsed at the boldness of the robbers
than anything else, and that he never
thought OF train robbery at such a
place when the train stopped.
