man o. e. Weller stated that there
is yet no money available for State
roads, the money was all expended
the past spring. But as soon as Con-

will only be too glad to give US a
hearing. But in an interview with
the Governor at the Taneytown fair,
he said he would be glad to give us
hearing at most any time. We
surely need a State road from New
Windsor to Westminster, and we
must exercise every possible means
to bring about the desired results. A
meeting should be called in the near
future.

BANDIT SECURES
LOOT FROM CAR
HOLD-UP IN CHICAGO
Fortune. the Entire Receipts of
Days Business of Stockyards-Es-
capes by Jumping and Mingling
With Crowds.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The depredations
of old time desperadoes were out done
by the operations of a bandit who
last night held up an express train in
the heart of Chicago and fought his
way to freedom with loot estimated
at fifty thousand dollars. The
masked bandit forced the express
messenger to turn over the contents
of a safe containing the entire days
receipts of the Union stockyards. The
contents were thrown into a bag and
the bandit started to leave the car.
The conductor intercepted and was
knocked down by a blow from the
robbers fist The bandit jumped
from the train and mingling with the
theater crowds escaped.
The train was known as the stock
yards special and was used to carry
money and valuable express from the
stockyards to Chicago. Although Chief
Clerk Adams states the loss at three
thousand the police insisted the train
never carried less than fifty thousand
dollars.
