Chicago, Jan. 26--Thrillng stories
of how lone bandita slender, nerv-
GUS young fellow with big revolver
held up Michigan Central passenger
train No. z, west bound. at 40 q. M,
Friday, near Jackson, Mich, robbing
and terrifying passengers in one Pull
man sleeper, among them several Chi
cagoans. were told in Chicago when
the train arrived at $50 a. IN. The
train, which travels between Detroit
and Chicago. drew into the Central
station with its 1a we'll filled coaches
an hour late.
The uniQueness OF the robber
methods-some OF the members OF the
train crew thought them comic--con'
tributed largely to his success, both
In the holdup and In his escape. Al
though he aroused six drowsy passen-
gers with the aid Of cowed porter.
he succeeded In getting less than $30o
in money. He stunned jewelry.
At the same time the bandit forced
the Pullman porters into the limelight
-one In a seriocomic role and the
other In the hero's garb. 1t was
Louis" Thombs' GOODNESS and pre-
cision that prevented further opera
tons OF the robber and caused him to
leap from the train near Parma
Mich, while it was slowing down.
In the country about Parma aud IN
the city Of jackson the bandit Is be-
ing hunted, according to press dis
patches, by Sheriff ]. F. Greble and a
well-armed posse. They say the fugi-
tive cannot escape. The Michigan au-
thorities believe the man returned to
jackson after escaping from the train.
Three other men who are reported to
have left the train when the robber
jumped off are believed to be trampa
