masked bandits who held u1 the
West bound Katy Flyer" on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad,
near Matson, Mo-. 60 miles north
west of st. Louis last night, captured

as they were robbing the rain and
took him away with them to prevent
him spying on their departure.
The train which left St. Louis at
S:32 last night for Texas, stopped at
Mtson, Mo-, on the north bank of
the Missouri river at 1915. There
The bandits are supposed to have

him, and turning, looked down .th

Then they told the fireman to run
back and uncouple the train be-
tsseen the last express car and the
first passenger car

and the bandits forced the engineer
to run the engine and express cars
to point near Klondike on the riv-
er bank. They entered the AnIri-
can Express car and forced the ex-
press messenger. J. G. Nicholson, to
stand with his face to the wall while
they blew both doors from the safe.
While this work was going on. a
track walker, said to be William
christopher, appeared. The robbers
announced they would take him pris-
oner.

The engineer and the fireman AMI
the express messenger say there were
only two robbers. The bandits made
NO effort to molest the passengers,
whom they warned to keep their
heads inside the windows. The ex-
press messenger refused to discuss
the robbery, saying that the rules OF
the company enforced silence on him.
He says as far as known nothing was
taken except the contents of the ex-
press safe. Mudd said he saw sever
al pieces of jewelry on the floor OF
the express car after the robbery.
The bandits are thought to have
crossed the Missouri river near the
scene of the robbery and to have

Before the three armies arrive

This announcement follows closely
on the heels of the recent fa> re of
the strike in Vancouver when bene-
fits were withdrawn and close upon
the published article of Adolph Ger
mer in the United Mine Workers
Journal that thousands of Illinois
miners were out of work and in need
of help. Linked with this also is the
fact that only recently four hundred
West Virginia miners went back to
work after waving recognition.
Notwithstanding that the interna-
tional and district officers are max
ing statements to the contrary and
whistling to keep up their courage,
the fact remains the miners union is
financially on the rocks and the
strike in Colorado is as flat failure
as those recently conducted else
where.

more than that every day will bring
Trinidad nearer to the realization of
the plan of civic betterment which
the mayor has started to perfect.
The men who have been employed
by Laughlin are mostly union coal
