DARING HOLDUP
 OF TRAIN BY
 YOUNG BANDITS

Dennison, Tex, Oct. 29.-The south bound Missouri, Kansas & Texas Linn tied passenger train was held up and robbed near W1rth, Okla, early to- day, by three youthful bandits whose daring has never been equalled, even in this section, which has become ac- customed to train robberies. The train was Jagged as it was approach ing a trest1e across the Canadian river. The trestle had been set on fire by the bandits and after the en- zine express and baggage cars were uncoupled from the coaches, the en- gineer was forced to move them across the burning bridge. The tres tie collapsed and fell into the river just as the last car crossed safely. After a mile run the three bandits blew the express safe and fled.
 It is said they secured about $3,- 900. As the Pullman cars and coach es were left on the far side of the bridge, none of the passengers were molested.
 The bandits worked swiftly and had horses waiting end after the footing fled into the woods. The robbery took place on a sharp curve in an isolated section near the Texas state line. An hour later posses started in pursuit of the bandits from Crowder and Eufaula. Members of the train crew said all the robbers appeared to be under 25.
