Is Looted While Entering the
City Of st. Louis Last
Night.

fearlessness and daring of old-time
western bandits, two armed and
masked men jumped abroad Iron
Mountain train No. 4, entering ST.
Louis, on Broadway and the Iron
Mountain tracks at o'clock last
night, and after binding and gagging
the messenger of the express car at
the point of revolvers, opened the
safe with keys taken from his pockets,
removed the money drawer, rifled it.
and with this and other packages of
value jumped from the train at Tower
Grove Station and disappeared in the
snow and darkness.
The bound messenger, M NJ. Nc
Roberts of 46O9 Page avenue, ST.
Louis, was left alone in the car after
the robbers escape. He twitched and
turned about In an endeayor to loosen
himself and with the bandages still
over his eyes notified the conductor of
the train. ] E. GREGG Of 720 Dover
place. The train was stopped at
Tower Grove Station and the police
notified. Then the crew hurried the
train to Union station.
The amount taaen in the robbery
could not be estimated late last night
and experts were set to work check
ing up in an endeavor to ascertain
the loss.
The money box and valuables taken
in the hold-up were in charge o. the
! messenger, who was employed by the
Pacific Express company, which is re-
| sponsible for the loss

Smith heard of the robbery he gave
orders for every detective who report
i ed to go to the scene of the robbery
and within an hour ten detectives
4 were securing the vicinity Of Tower
i Grove station. A special detail of po
lice was sent out from the neares1
police station, and it is thought the
bandits will be caught, as no othel
trains were passing at the time anC
the robbers could not have left st
Louis
The men are descriDed at about
feet or inches tall and weighing
about 1856 pounds. They wore blacl
overcoats and black slouch hats, ant
had black masks pulled over thei
faces almost to their eyes.
H. NJ Glandon, night agent of th
Missouri Pacific railroad at Uniol
station, last night said the safe whicl
had been opened and the money bo
g which had been taken we're not tn
large ones in the car. There are tw,
safes, one locked by combination

!, by the use of steel or dynamite.
The other safe is locked with onl
key and contains only money whic
is being shipped from one point to al
other along the line. Mr.. Glando
said he did not believe there coul
have been more than few hundre
