Three Men Held Up and
Robbed Mail and Express
Cars of Southern Passen-
ger Train, But Less Than
S10O Was Obtained
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Packers, Ala. Jan. 34.-Railroad de-
tectives and deputy sheriffs early to-
day with bloodhounds began search
for three men who last night robbed
the mail and express cars of South
ern Railway passenger train No. II
near here and after starting the To-
comotive and the two cars on a wild
run disappeared on horses.
The train ran without a guiding
hand at the throttle to LarkinsviIle,
Ala, nineteen miles away where it
stopped when tho locomotive went
dead.
The two passenger coaches of the
train were picked up early today by
train from Chattanooga, Tenn,
which brought the officers and the
dogs
The robbers obtained a sum esti-
mated at s1OO by blowing the express
car safe. Their search through the
mail car failed to produce anything
as only second class matter was in
TO molest passengers. Those who
ventured out when the train was
halted were sent back by patter of
bullets
The bandits did their work in a
lonely spot. The locomotive and mail
and express cars first were detached
from the passenger coaches and run
down the track a hundred yards. One
of the robbers guarded the engine
crew and mail and express clerks
while the other two robbed the car.
