BOLD HOLDUP

ROBBERS BREAK INTO EXPRESS CAR
and MAKE five ATTEMPTS TO
RIFLE SAFE OF $4,000 WORTH
OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
FLAGMAN WAS HERO
AND BROUGHT help

Springfield, H., Dec. "a. Booty
worth $4,000 was the prize sougth by
the bandits who held up and attempt
ed unsuccessfully to rob the Chicago
& Alton passenger train The Hum.
mer' near Hes Junction, four miles
south of Springfield last night.
In the safe which yf15tsistetl FIVE at-
tempts to break into it, were money,
jewelry and other valuables worth
that sum, it was said by express com
pany officials, and it is thought the
robbers had no inkling or the value
of the Christmas treasure the train
was carrying from Chicago to ST.
Louis and Kansas City.
Bold and deliberate in holding up
the train the robbers have escaped
"A thorough search of the country near
the scene of the holdup failed to pro
duce any clew as to the desperadoes.
After uncoupling the engine and eX-
press car from the train and com
more than a mile down the track, the
robbers made five unsuccessful at
tempts to blow open the express safes
with nitro-glycerine and dynamite.
According to the railroad and ex-
press officials, the bandits secured
only few packages which were of
small value. While the highwaymen
were working with the engineer and
fireman, Flagman Horace Smith
slipped away to lies Junction, where
there is a telegraph Office and noti-
fed the railroad officials here and
at Bloomington.
WORKED as MINUTES.
The robbers worked forty-fve min.
utes in the express car, thus giving
a switch engine carrying officers time
to reach the scene before the high
waymen could get away. When the
robbers heard the engine approaching
they fed, firing few shots at the
officers as they disappeared in the
darkness. The passenger coaches
and sleeping cars stood on the tracks
more than two hours until the engine
and express cars were brought back
and the train started on it's way to
Kansas City.
A few passengers, some courageous
and some going along because they
admitted. they did not want TO be

John c. Boyd of Chicago when he
started to make an investigation.

How Seals Fight Consumption.

How Seals Fight Consumption.
1t would be impossible to tell of all
the good work that the money receiv-
ed from Red Cross stamps last year has
done during the past year, but few
instances may be cited.
In Chicago, a little over $4,000 was
realized. and this money for five
months supported eight free tubercuIo-
visiting nurses, 1850 new patients be-
ing examined and $3.50 visits made to
the clinics. In addition to this for the
same five months the Central office of
the Chicago tuberculosis institute was
supported, and through this office
hundreds of thousands of people were
helped in that city and throughout the
state of Illinois.
In Brooklyn, the $4,000 taken in from
the stamp sale has gone to support a
ferry boat day camp with an average
dahy attendance of rs. Many patients
have been restored to health and USE
fulness as the result of this work
In New York, the County Red Cross
Day camp on the roof of the Vanderbilt
clinic has given a. chance for new
health to hundreds of consumptives.
Similar camps have fought the fight
against tuberculosis in Kingston. N. Y;
Schenectady, n. Y; Cleveland, O., and
in many other cities.
Special nurses have been provided
from the red cross funds and IN some
cases, tuberculosis dispensaries have
been esta blished. Literature has been
printed and distributed, lectures given,
exhibits conducted, and legislatures,
municipal and county authorities stir
red to activity. as the result of the
red cross stamp sale of 1909. Every
stamp has been real bullet in the
fight against tuberculosis.
