Springfield, ILL.,, June 1S.-The mid
night Diamond Special on the Illinois
Central railroad, due through here at
midnight, was held up by two masked
robbers near Glenarm, ten miles south /
east of here. Deputy sheriffs, city po- (
lice and newspaper representatives
summoned by telephone from Spring
field came up on the bandits while |
they were dynamiting the express car.
The passengers on the train were
lined up beside it, and their guns
taken from them.
Sheriff Mester of Sangamon county
and Policeman Adams fought a duel
with one of the robbers.

hind the express car with the messen'
gers and curious passengers, who had
left the train a mile away and fol-
lowed down the track to where the
robbers stopped the express car, after
cutting it loose from the remainder OF
the train.
When the robbers jumped aboard
the engine to escape Sheriff Mester
and the posse, they ordered Engineer
Shell to "pull out fast" Probably a
few miles further on the holdup men
stopped the engine again and made
further efforts to blow the safe in the
express car. They were still working
when another automobile from Spring
field bearing Chief of Police Under
wood, Deputy Sheriff Sullivan and 9TH
ers came upon them.
Again the robbers jumped upon the
engine and gave another order to pull
out. This time they did not stop until
nearing the city limits of Springfield
The robbers jumped off the engine, or

vey of the situation without. This

felt convinced. only temporary. did
not expect, from all | could now see,
that the final assault would take place
upon my side Of the building. The
massing OF the main body OF the be-
siegers before the front entrance. to.
gether with the presence there of
their leaders, was sufficient to con.
vince me that this was to prove the
principal point Of attack, and from my
knowledge OF such affairs decided
that probably the first signs OF return.
Ing daylight would be the signal for
determined assault. The dark interior
OF such a house a. this offered too
many defensive advantages which the
daylight would largely overcome.
Have you had some hard fighting?"
asked of the man lying next me. a
manly-looking fellow. wearing the yel
low chevrons OF a corporal of cavalry.
