Where Their Confederates
Are Waiting

Little Rock. Ark. Dec. 4. - Two
posses to-day are pursuing the bandits
who last night attempted to hold up
a southbound passenger train on the
Iron Mountain railroad near Malvern,
Arkansas.
The holdup was foiled through the
GOODNESS of Theodore p. Homard. the
engineer, and so quickly were officers
and citizens on the trail of the would
be robbers that a battle was fought
with them less than three hours later.
Sheriff j. Stanley, of Malvern, was
wounded in the foot.
Two men climbed on the "blind bag
gage" into the engine cab and ordered
Engineer Homard to stop the train
when he saw a. camp fire. The engi-
neer took his time bringing the train
to halt and the robbers were carried
a mile beyond the place where their
confederates were supposed to be wait
ing. Seeing that they were outwitted,
the men leaped from the train and
escaped
