Unable to Locate Robber.

Jesse NJ. Short, the JoplS. illion-
-aire, was the real object of e giant
bandit. who held up a Kan 7ity
Southern passenger train in q .
urb about midnight and the -
ing up" of the other passengers
merely incidental, according to
police theory.
After a terrific duel with Short
in the narrow Pullman, the robber
fell off the train, wounded, carrying
one thousand dollars of Shorts money
and leaving the mine owner lying In
a berth with three bullets in his
body. The physician attending Short
at a local Hospital, says that he will
recover.
The bandit boarded the train just
after it LEFT the station and held
I'D two men In the observation car
and then entered the Pullman. Shor',
who was half asleep, handed ovtr
a purse with one thousand dollars
but when the robber started away
grabbed an automatic and emptied
it at him. The robber returned the
fire, wounding Short thrice.
The robber, who is believed to
have been badly wounded, jumped
into the night. Squads of police put
on the trail believed that they saw
blood leading toward the Blue river
but when daylight came, not trace
of the robber could be found, al
though a squad of detectives search
ed the right of way for a mile each
way The place where the robber
disappeared was region of masses
OF tracks lined with box cars and
market gardens, where all chances
were with the robber.
The police say that tail man had
been following Short at a local hotel.
A telegram to the police from
Conductor Gibson at Grand View, Mo,
gave the following losses: Jesse
Short, one thousand dollars in cur
rency; F. A. Seaman, Eureka Springs.
Ark, thlrty-five dollars in money
and a diamond stud; w. ]. Schafer,
Neck City Mo-, siXty-five dollars:
Orders were issued by the ply
sician attending Short to deny call
ers. The physician said that un-
less complications set in, the chances
OF Shorts recovery are favorable.
One bullet was removed from below
the shoulder blade. The doctor said
that the principal fear was the out
come of this wound. Another bull
let was removed from the back of
the left leg, just above the knee.
