Passengers Were in Terror.

Kansas City. Mo-, March "a
When the Iron Mountain train, held
up near Coffeyville reached here,
it was boarded by express company
officials. The whole side of the ex-
press car was torn out by the blast
of the four explosions set off by the
bandits

the safe across the car and tore
out the side of the car. All over
the floor was strewn silver coins.
The booty secured by the robbers
included a bundle six inches thick
of unsigned bank notes intended for
Independence, Kan. The registered
mail bags lay in the corner where
they were throgn after being ran
sacked.
A. G. Greenmeyer of Sioux City,
one of the passengers, told the fol-
lowing story:
1One man who was just taking his
bedtime cigar, looked out of the
window when the train stopped,
said Greenmeyer. THE bullets
whizzed past his head. He pulled
his head in and slammed down the
window, ran through the car shout
ing Wake up, the train is being
robbed The shots were no more
doubt of it. Women came out of
their berths in their dressing gowns
while men scrambled for their trous-
ers and he'd hurried conferences as
what was best to do. The women
secreted their valuables under the
seats and sat on them shivering
with fear while bang. bang, bang
went the bandits revolvers."

WHY NOT A GARDEN7
The High Cost Of Living Can Be Cut
by Back Yard Farming.

Why should vegetables be bought
when by doing a little interesting
and relaxing work they can be grown
in the back yard? Lettuce, radishes
carrots, turnips and other vegetables
can be had in all their freshness and
delicious flavor. Not only can suffi'
cient vegetables be grown for immed-
late use, but If the available space
is large enough a supply can be put
away for winter.
Almost any kind of box can be util-
lied for raising vegetables on the
back porch. Six or ten inches OF
good soil, thoroughly mixed with one
fourth well-rotted manure, should be
put in the box. Bore holes in the bot
tom so the water porch. Six to ten
inches of good soil. Frequent cult
vation of the soil is necessary to get
a healthy, vigorous growth.
Some of the things that may be
grown in boxes are radishes, lettuce,
onions, carrots, kohirabi, dandelions
for salad, and beets for soup, with the
tops as a substitute for spinach.
