The only resistance offered was
when carr c. Heard, county police

TO the Pullman. and a moment later
he and the robber were engaged In a

Suddenly from behind Heard a pls-

Just as the porter began firing
someone turned on the emergency

The bandit dropped from his perch,
with a laugh lie was swallowed up
quickly in the darkness.
Heard and the porter leaped the
gate and fired several shots in the
direction in which the bandit had

while with his right he aimed heavy
revolver at Heard.
We'll" he shouted. grinning vi
ciously in the faint, smoky light, I'm
still here!"
And then, without another word,
the firing began.
Policeman Opens Fire.
Twice a long squirt of fame and an
accompanying roar flashed up from
the crouching figure outside the gate,
while Heard was Juggling at his owr
weapon.
Then the policeman's revolver
swung clear, and, with the smash of
glass in his ears, the acrid reek Of
smoke In his nostrils. and q burning
streak across his right cheek, he
opened fire.
In the narrow space his heavy re-
volver roared like shotgun. The
air became choking with power-reek.
The lights scarcely showed-only the
long, lea ping flashes, back and forth,
to and from the platform.
From beneath the car came sud
den grinding of brakes and Just back
of Heard's left ear there came an
other dazing crash. He wheeled,
fearing an attack from behind, and
there was Werner the porter, his eyes
popping from his face, but holding
his ground and firing shot after shot
al the bandit now crouched so low
that not much more than the big re-
volver was visible above the platform
level
Bandit FIees, Laughing.
The trains speed was slackenlng
under the stress OF the emergency
brakes. With a loud laugh, the ban
dit loosened his hold on the wicket
and dropped from the platform into
the darkness.
The train ground to stop. Heard
and the faithful Werner climbed over
the wicket and dropped to the earth,
looking on every side for the bandit.
A dim form was slipping rapidly
away into the neighboring woods,
dark against the sky. They fired
three more shots without a return.
The man was gone.
Conductor Dunn canvassed the pas
sengers and found all present and
uninjured, except Heard, who had a
long, deep cash across his right cheek
"a cut made by flying glass.
At Hilrs Park message was sent
TO the dispatcher's office. outlining
the attack. In fifteen minutes more,
so county policemen were sweeping
the vicinity.
A few minutes after the robber dis
appeared a man, who said his name
was John Jones, and Iaer No
Ian, was arrested near the scene
OF the hold-up by city police.
He refused to make any state
ment, although he has admitted that
Jones is not his right name. Papers
on his person indicated his home Is
in Des Moines. He received mail at
the general delivery window of the
postoffice as late as January 10 under
the name of James Nolan

TANNED squarcly into his face, lie sa "
the improvised mask and knew he
wa. up against the real thing.
Then Jackson obeyed orders-quite
promptly.
He went through the "Nyssa' at
TOP speed, his IDEA being to get re-
volver and maybe some assistance
and return before the robber could
finish h;s work. But he did not
count Of the speed with which the
bandit was operating. BY the time
Jackson with the train conductor,
got back to The "Nyssa" the train
and p hattie Of shots came from the
rear platform.
For the robber did not get away
without battle.
After the Pullman conductor had
got out % ;ho way" the bandit APP

compartment.

said, quietly, and the smokers looked
up to face the ubiquitous muzzle of
the big revolver, that seemed to point
directly al each one of them with
sort of personal malice.

gravestones and weeping willows in

T. was not a conventional hodup,
in the strict sense. The victims APP
peared too surprised and frightened
to hold up their hands properly and
the bandit was no stickler for minor
conventions
Just give me all the money you
have. and be in a hurry" he invited
them, in a kind voice. One Of the
men produced a handful OF change
from a trousers pocket

robber: give me your real money.
Porter Spreads Alarm.
The collection amounted TO WV.
As the bandit started his interview
with the men in the smoking com
partment, Werner, the negro porter
had caught glimpse OF the revolver
and mask and had gone scurrying
back through the car and into the
passenger coaches, shouting Rob

news agent. James f. Green, also
shouting
Green kept on progressing until he
reached the baggage car. There he
took off his shoes and secreted $40
in silver In the toe of one of them.
Then he sat down and quivered and
hoped for the best,
But Werner was made OF sterner
stuff And one man who heard his
shouts for aid also was prepared to
fight fire with fire.
Werner was frantically searching
for revolver, when Carl Heard, a
county policeman, attracted by the
hurry burly in the parlor car Just be-
hind the coach In which he was rid
ing. started back to see what the fuss
was about.
Policeman Follows Bandit.
BY the time he reached the Pull
man, the bandit was done with his
collecting and had retired to the rear
platform, ready TO leave the train
when it should slow down at Bolton.
What's up" demanded the officer,
