A TRAIN IS HELD UP
 NEAR C0R|NTH, MISS.
Express Safe Robbed by
 Four Bandits
POSSES IS IN PURSUIT
No Attempt Will Be Made to Pene- /trate Swamps Where Men Are Belived to Be in Hiding
 Until Bloodhounds Arrive

Corinth. Miss, March 1s-Mobile and Ohio passenger train No. f. north bound Ohio passenger, train No. A. northbound, seven miles south of Corinth early to- night by four men, heavily armed and masked. After accomplishing the robbery the quartet took to the dense underbrush of the Tuscumbia river bottoms. Blood hounds have been telegraphed for and a posse has been organized to take up the pursuit.
 While definite information Is lacking, 1t is said the safe contained valuables. One report has 1t that s50.OOO in money was among the contents. Where the robbers boarded the train Is not known. Engineer Wilder and Fireman Kaufman first learned of their presence when two of the men crawled over the tender with their revolvers drawn and commanded that the train be halted at a point desig- mated. The command was obeyed.
 Meanwhile the other members of the band had gained entrance to the express car and after subduing Express Messen ger Snoddy, set the explosive which wal touched off when the train came to stop The contents of the safe were quickly gathered and at the signal of the man who appeared to be in charge of oper' ations the four took to the woods without attempting to rifle the mail or molest the passengers. The robbery was completed within 20 minutes of the time the first men appeared in the engine cab.
 No attempt will be made to penetrate the densely wooded river bottoms. where the men are believed to be in hiding. until the arrival of a detail of railroad detec- tives and the bloodhounds from Jackson, Tenn. which are coming aboard special train.

of Boyles from East Lake park. Hap I penings after the killing point to the fact that Rohm had visited the park after the killing. It is alleged by men of the neighborhood that negro watch
 man at the park was known to Rohm
 and that about half an hour after the shooting he came up to ehe house, seem ingly under the impression that some one else other than Mrs. Herring had been shot and asked if the wounded
 party was dead. It Is thought that the negro had been sent to the place by
 Rohm to find. out the result of his all legged deed.
 Mrs. Herring was shot only once, the
 bullet going through her left hand, piercing her heart and going out through her back. It is thought she
 threw up her hand to ward off some
 blow and the bullet passed through the
 hand. Deputy Sheriff Newt Curl is of
 the opinion that the woman was shot
 from behind. She fell across the floor,
 where the body remained until the arri-
 val of Coroner Brasher. He ordered the removal of the body and it was taken in
 charge by S. A. Woodin & Co.,, of Wood lawn.
 Soon after the shooting Policemen Hollums and Taylor of the WoodlaWn precinct came up and made inyestiga-
 Cons. They secured a description of Rohm and notified headquarters. Deputy Sheriffs Curl and Clayton had the kill | ing in charge for the sheriff's office. Sheriff McAdory procured the blood hounds of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, through P. J. Rog- CTS, warden at prison No. ?, and in | tended to put them on the trial.
