Woman Escapes Robbers.

New Orleans, Sept. 26-More than a score of New Orleans residents who were on the Alabama Great Southern train held up near Bibb- vile, Ala, early today, arrived here late today They said that as soon as it was ascertained that bandits had stopped the train, the sleeping car conductor ordered the doors in the two sleeping cars locked and told the passengers to hold their yaluables.
 Mrs. Isadella L. Sterrett wife of Richmond, Va, lawyer did not heed this warning, however Clad in her nightelothes. with her 2-yearold baby in her arms and pistol in her hand, she erawled through q window and hid in the bushes nearby She was not molested, nor did the bandits try to enter the sleeping cars.
 Fearing the robbers would attack the Pullman car next and perhaps harm Isabella, l picked up the baby and hurried to the door" said Mrs. Sterrett. q had secured my shor.- barrelled automatic pistol from my travelling bag before I started. I found that the doors were locked and I could not get out that way. wen. back to my bertha lower-opened the window and crawled out. Once outside, l fled with my baby to the bushes"

POSSES HUNTING FOR TRAIN ROBBERS THINK THEY HAVE
 THE RIGHT PARTIES.
TEN ARE UNDER ARREST
Amount Secured by Youthful Bandits Variously Estimated Up to S5O,- ooo-Woman Escapes From Train and Saves VaIuabIes.


 ten suspects had been alrasted, ,~-as the result of the combing of the country about the scene of the hold. up of Alabama Great Southern pas. senger train No ' at Bibbville early today leaders Of half dozen posses called their men sjn tonight in the belief that the three bandits are among those now in custody. Tomor- row the suspects will be girlled by railroad and priv3te detectives here.
 If the identity of the men has been established 1t has not been disclosed. Apparently none of them is more than 30 years old and all protest their innocence
 Reports still are conflicting as to the amount secured by the three men, two of whom are described as mere youths, who held up the train and dynamited .he express safe, but one report is that the amount will reach, if not exceed $50,000 Express company officials will make no state ment.
 The train was stopped by the set.
 
 When the rain came to a stop En- gineer Daniels and his fireman found themselves looking into the barrels of revolyers in the hands of a man apparently still in his teens. Another of the men engaged in subjecting the mail clerks, and the third devoted himself to the express messenger The next procedure was to uncouL7e the mail and express cars from the remainder of the train and run them a safe distance from the passenger coaches. Meanwhile several shots were fired in the mail and express cars to terrify the clerks, and when the right location was reached all of the train crew in sight were marched to a cornfield while the man who acted as leader wrecked the express safe with several charges of nitro glycerin
 The robbery accomplished, the throttle was thrown open. The ban dit who acted as engineer leaped from the cab and the engine and two cars started on a wild journey. while he robbers escaped and the train crew trudged to BiDbville and gave he alarm. Posses were quickly or ganized and the pursuit of the ban Tits begun within two hours of the loldup. The engine went dead after more than 30 miles.
 No attempt was made to molest he passengers and, so far as can be Iscertained tonight, the only mem Ter of the train crew who had nance to try conclusions with the nen was a negro porter, who grap- Jed with one of them when he was off guard The porter lad his man down, but one of his came to the aid of the obber, clubbing the negro over the read with revolver until he re- eased his hold and escaped under a baggage car.
 The wrecked ears were brought to Meridian, Miss, today. The mail car ,ore evidence Of promiscuous shoot ng and a large hole in the roof of he baggage and express ear told of he force of the explosion which wrecked the safe
