TWO MASKED BANDITS BIND AND GAG MESSENGER. ROB SAFE
 AND MAKE ESCAPE.
Robbery Occurred Within City Limits of St. Louis-Most Daring in Re cent History--Amount of Money
 Secured is Unknown.


 ed and heavily armed robbers held up an express car on am Iron Mountain train within the city limits tonight, escaping with several packages and the money box, which they removed from the safe after binding and gag ging the messenger, M. M McRob erts.
 That the train robbers obtained a large amount of money is believed 10 uonBIuxoIddB ou qSnoql uIelI9o the sum has Deeil obtained. The bandits boarded the train at Ivory Station in the southern part of the city. and leaped off when the train slowed down at Tower Grove Station
 All available patrolmen and detec- tives have been hurried to the Tower ing and capturing the pair of des- perrldoes.
 Ivory and Tower Grove stations are two stops made by the Iron Mountain trains before arriving in the Union Station.
 The train had just left Ivory Sta tion when the messenger, feeling an thrush of cold air in his car, went to the rear of it and found the door open.
 Closing it he turned and found him.  self gazing into the muzzles of two revolvers held by one of the masked intrpders.
 Hands mp, and be sure you keep them there" the robber commanded.
 McRobents elevated his arms and in a twinlsling the second masked man walked behind .im.
 sNow you can lower your hands and rut them behind you" the first man remarked.
 McRoberts obeyed and an instant later the second robber tied his wris's securely together Not content with this. they tied his feet at the ankles aiid while he was on the floor they stuck randkerchief into his mouth.
 McRobelis in the position he was lying could see their movements.
 The pair worked with amazing swiftness. as if familiar with their task, and in few minutes had open ed the safe or iron strong box and selected therefrom several packages and the money box.
 Other packages they left scattered about the floor wherever they fell, as they were tosssd from the safe and when the train began to slow down cred the parcels selected into his arms while his companion kept Me Roberts covered with his revolvers.
 The bandits did not wait until the train came to a stop at the station, probably being aware that their chances xlf escape would be lessened by leaving the train in the glare of electric lights. Instead they leaped off several hundred yards west of the station in 2 mage of tracks and disappeared.
 The robbers had a lead on the police of more than half an hour and the hold up was discovered only when the train arrived in Union Sta tion at s:05 pm. fcnty minutes late.
 When McRobents did not open his car the conductor summoned the en- gineer and they forced an opening into it. They found McRoberts trlrssed up as the bandits had left him It was stated at the offices of the Pacific Express Company that no Mme there knew whether tine robbers got anything of value This is at variance, however. with information given Night Chief of Police Gillaspy who said he had been told the rob bers got package of money from the <Sslfe

Raker resolution, authorizing an in
vestigation of the administration of
public land laws with reference to

contemplates a general investigation
of the public land situation, and is
deemed advisable on account of the
increasing difficulties experienced by
those who desire to avail themselves
of what the constitution contemplated
would be free public lands for the
use and benefit of the whole people.
Each succeeding year finds it more
difficult to acquire rights on the pub

of the public lands has assumed the
attitude of a jealous and suspicious
