Insurance Department, who have just COM
pleted an examination Of the Equitable Life

THREE MASKED ROBBERS
HOLD Up R. |. LIMITED
Took Money, JeWeIry and Gems
from Nine Passengers in
Pullman Car.
USED PISTOLS TO ESCAPE
Shot Holes in Air Signal Tube
and When the Train Halted
They Leaped Off - New
Yorker Among Victims,

Chicago, April 21.-Nine persons were
robbed by three masked men who went
through the sleeper Nottingham. of the
Rock Island westbound Golden state
Limited. few minutes after midnight
this morning. at Sheffield, ILL.,, forty
miles east of Moline.
After the robbers had finished their
work they shot holes in the air signal
tube connected with the engine, thus
bringing the train to a standstill ana
quickly made their escape.
Under cover of three revOlvers the
porter was forced to point out to the
outlaws the berths that were occupied
AS soon as the robbers entered the Pun
man they forced the porter to lock the
doors. Only the occupants of one Pull
man were disturbed.
Among those who were robbed are:
w. L. lie Blanc, New York, s4j and
railroad ticket.
Mary Heron, Chicago. 500.
O.. L. Benton. Oberlin, Kan, gold watch
and diamond valued at $780, and S-oO
cash.
d. A. MacFuler and wife. Fort Wayne,
Ind, S95 and two watches, valued al
$50.
b. Gomand, Phoenix. Ariz.. $50.
- The presence of the three robbers on
the train has not been accounted for.
1t is thought perhaps the men boarded
the limited at the crossing Of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad
near which a Burlington train was held
up some time ago.
After the desperadoes had taken their
loot they commanded the porter to pull
the air tube as a signal for the engineer
TO stop the train. When the porter de-
INJURED the men punctured the tube with
bullets from their pistols. The firing Of
the revolyers was the only noise con-
nected with the hold-up.
1t was stated at the general offices OF
the Rock Island here to-day that a good
description of the outlaws was obtained
and it was further said there was hope
of running them down.
