and Escaped.
Three masked men held up and
robbed Missouri Pacific passenger
train near Pittsburg. Kan. They Sc
cured about $500 and a small amount
OF jewelry and escaped.
The robbers boarded the train,
which was a local accommodation.
running between coffeyville Kan. and
Nevada. Mo. on the outskirts OF Pits
burg. They took seats In the chair car
and rode quietly until the train was
near Cornell, Kan. There they leaped
from their sets. backed Conductor
Clarity into a corner and. drawing
their reviewers. warned him not TO call
for assistance from other members OF
the train crew.
One OF the robbers then covered the
passengers with two large reyolvers.
"You viii now prepare to give up your
valuables." he said. MY partner here
will pass among you. Please be quiet.
The partner" there upon produced
gunny sack and started on his collec-
ton tour. From each passenger he
took everything OF value. Money.
watches. diamonds and rings. all went
into the sack One woman screamed
and tainted. The collector calmly lift
ed a ring from her finger, picked her
purse up from the floor to which II
had fallen and passed on TO the next
victim. Passengers revived the woman
after the robbers left the coach.
Throughout the progress of the rob.
berry the train hurried ahead. Not one
of the crew with the exception OF the
conductor knew robbery was being
perpetratcf
When the lights in the town OF Cor.
nell doomed into view several OF the
passengers at the rear OF the coach
who had not been reached by the rob
begs had hopes that they would escape
~ A0nt their valuables. and they be-
gan placing them back In their peck
cts. But they were doomed to disap-
pointment. Just because the train
stopped at the station the robbers did
not hurry away. The robber with the
gunny sack stripped the last passen
ger in the car of his goods. and then
the three dropped OFF the train and
disappeared down an alley into the
town
No attempt was made TO rob the ex.
press car OF the train Sheriff Merri-
wether with a score of deputies is
searching for the men. Passengers
we're able to give a good description
of the robbers. They are believed TO
be hangers-on OF the mining camps in
the north pert Of the county. For sew

tiers. including gamblers and traders.
have been infesting these places. Sew
