 MAKES BIG HAUL
Secures s1s,ooo.oo in va'uables and Money From Passengers on
 Burlington sleeper.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. "A lone ban: dit boarded the Burlington crack train at this station and when the cars were under way he poked two guns into the face of the negro porter and forced him to wake up the sleep ing passengers and secure all their valuables. The robber then left the train when it slowed down at sig nal given by him with the bell cord to the engineer and disappeared in the darkness.
 The passengers Of only one car were molested and the doors to the car were locked when the bandit did his work so as to prevent interference upon the part of the crew of the train should they become aware of the facts.
 It is estimated that the robbery netted the bandit $15,0O0
 As soon as the company officials here learned of the affair they dis patched special train with a num- Der of railroad detectives to the scene, but so far they have failed to locate the man or recover any of the loot.
 The sheriff has been notified and has telegraphed for bloodhounds and will endeavor to trace the crook to his hiding place.

March Into City, Taking strik- CTS by Surprise.

Indianapolis, Nov. 7.-The entire state guard quietly detrained just outside the city limits this afternoon and when enough troops were con- centrated, they marched into the city and established martial law. The sudden arrival of the militia caused consternation among the strikers and they soon left the car barns and hur- ried to headquarters for orders. Tue police have been ordered to their pa trols in the sidence districts be- cause of the many robberies commit ted, while all the soldiers are in the down town section.
 The militia intend to patrol the street car lines and will place guards on all cars when they are run tomor- row. The strikers are prepared and are expected to offer resistance. A number of baricadt,s have been erect ed along the car lines and the cars abandoned yesterday by the strikers have been overturned and will have to be removed before the cars can be operated again.

burglarized the general store at Green

fact that he had not been guilty of

but the boy released on a personal bond
