The two men soon discovered that
they had many mutual friends living

years since Castle had been here
Castle, who was young man about

wife. The conversation drifted to
matters relating to keokuk and peo-

interesting to Mr.. Koechling. They
continued together on the train for
only short distance when Mr.. Castle
and his wife got of the train at a
small station where they were going
to visit relatives.

BANDITS ROB TRAIN;
SHERIFF IS KILLED
AS POSSES PURSUE
Dynamite Used to Rifle Ex-
press and Mail Cars Near
Birmingham, Ala.
BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL
OF BOY DESPERADOES
Youthful Highwaymen Open the
Throttle and Cars Race Wild
Through Towns.

COTTONDALE. Ala, Sept. 26.-Two
boy bandits early this morning rified
the mail car and dynamited the ex-
press safe on Alabama Great South
ern train No. Z, near this place and
escaped with booty variously esti-
mated at from a few hundred to
$4,000.
In the search for the bandits this
morning Deputy Sheriff James Bon
ner. of Birmingham, which Is thirty
eight miles from the scene of the
crime, was shot and killed by a
member of another posse from Mont
of the robbers.
After stopping the train at Bibbville
Siding at 1890 a. m. by means of a
block danger signal the young BAN
dts, with drawn revolvers, forced the
engineer, fireman, express messenger
and six mail clerks to leave their en-
gine and cars and line up at the side
of the track.
The robbers then compelled one of
the trainmen to detach the engine,
express and mail cars, whereupon
the bandits boarded the locomotive,
and with one robber at the throttle
drove the front part of the train
several miles down the track, where
the express safe was blown to bits
with dynamite and the registered
mail pouches were rified.
The robbers then threw open the
throttle of the engine, 1eaped to the
ground and escaped with their booty
into the swamps, while the runaway
engine and express and mail cars
dashed on down the track through
several towns, until the steam in
the engine was exhausted and the
train came to stop at Englewood
Ala.
Sheriff McAdory with six deputies,
Chief of Police Bodeker and several
private detectives from Birmingham,
as well as a posse of deputies from
Montgomery and Tuscaloosa and
Bibb counties, are hunting for the
bandits in Northern Bibb and Tus-
caloosa counties.
A special train from Montgomery
carried bloodhounds to Tuscaloosa
early today and the posse at Birm-
ingham has several bloodhounds
securing the country surrounding the
scene of the robbery.
