arm was extended through the spokes
of the drivewheels. The sudden move
ment of the engine had torn the en-
gineer's arm from the shoulder and
thus terminated his career. The rail-
road company had settled with Adams
| for the loss of his arm without suit,
paying him large sum, with which
Adams set up in business in Sedalia
| as a money-lender. He had, however,
as has been said, a good reputation in
| the community.
Among his clients were West and

known as a freight train conductor
and was in the service of the Missouri,

| being popularity known as Katy"

| quite a considerable sum of money.
1t was in the course of a conversation
with them about their Indebtedness to
him that Adams was approached by
them upon the subject of robbing the
train. 1--WE win have plenty of money
to pay you all that we owe you in a
few days" said one of them, and then
they asked him to join them in pull
ing off the job, which he agreed to do
for the reason stated.
had known Mr.. Clark for number
of years, and as stated above, had
done considerable work for him while
chief special agent for the Missouri Pa
cif1c road had severed my connec-
tion with that line at this time and
was conducting secret service COM
pany in st. Louis It was on account
of the close friendship between us that
Mr.. Clark had sent for me, and on this
account | was especially anxious to
Illustrate the robbery.
"Furlong." said the superintendent,
"just as soon as the time and place for
this hold-up have been fixed will no
tify you, and want you to take meas
ures to prevent that train from being
robbed and to catch the guilty par
ties"
Early on the morning of November
% l received message from Mr..
Clark, stating that the superintendent
had just learned from Adams that the
passenger train on the Lexington
branch was to be held up and robbed
that night at point nine miles north
Of Sedalia, and instructing me to take
immediate steps to protect the train
and prevent the robbery. The super
intendent placed w. W. Kay, his spe-
cial agent, at my disposal and two
more agents, Detective Frank Barnett
and another, who joined me at indie
pendence. The fifth member of the
party was Joseph s. Manning, one of

The American railroad men are one
OF the finest bodies of public servants.
Their sense of responsibility is admit
tedly very high. So rarely does one
betray his trust that the following rec
ord il almost unique, and may be
read without offense as the exception
which proves the rule.
About the twentieth day of Novem'
Der, 1898, received an urgent sum
mons from Mr.. Horace G. Clark, then
general superintendent of the Gould
system, with headquarters at St
Louis. l had formerly been chief Of
the secret service for the system and
so lost no time in hurrying to the SUI
perintendents Office.
"Furlong," began Mr. Clark, "a hold
up has been planned to take place
near Sedalia, on the Lexington branch
and want you to take charge of the
matter Immediately. The information
has been supplied by one of the con
spirators, who is really acting in our
interests"
Mr.. Clark" l answered, my expert
ence has convinced me that it is i'm
possible to rely on the statement of
a man who is admittedly betraying
his companions.
The superintendent demurred to this
principle and explained the circum-
stances. Adams, the informant, had
told him that the plot to hold up and
rob one of the trains had been formed
by six railway men, including himself,
James West, an engineer, and Eli
Stubblefield. an ex-conductor. The ex-
nitely fixed, but Adams was to furnish
a team and conveyance which would
take the would-be bandits to the place
where the scheme was to be pulled
on and after the coup had been &C
complished he was to take them back
to the city of Sedalia. He further in
formed Superintendent Clark that
when the date and point Of attack had
been settled he would at once advise
him, inasmuch as he had only agreed
to furnish the conveyance and assist
in the robbery so that each of the
robbers might be apprehended and
handed over to the law
Adams had been a faithful employee
OF the company for a number of
years, and was in good standing with
it. He had been a locomotive en-
gineer and his record was excellent.
He was regarded in the community in
which he lived as sober, reliable and
intelligent man, and good citizen.
While oiling around his engine one
day at station the throttle had begun
to leak, thereby admitting steam to
the cylinders, which caused the en-
CINE to move suddenly while Adams

would give them ten dollars II they
would hitch up and drive him to Sc
dalia. They told him that it would
be impossible to procure a horse at
that time Of night, and he departed for
Sedalia, holding his right arm, and
leaving trail of blood along his
tracks.
Having thus satisfied ourselves as
to Stubblefield's objective, Barnett
and abandoned the hunt, returned to
our engine, and were soon in Sedalia
once more. Within two or three hours
our conjecture that Stubblefield was
on his way to the town proved cor
rect, for the wounded man, who turn
ed out to be Stubblefield, as had been
expected, was captured near his house
by Manning and the Sedalia police
officer, who were waiting for him, in
accordance with their instructions.
Stubblefield was taken to the county
Jail. where West had already been In
carcerated, ard physician was called
to dress his wound. 1t was found that
the bullet from my weapon had passed
through Vests right arm, breaking
the bones at the elbow. The wound
soon healed, but Stubblefield never
had the use of the arm again. 1t al
ways hung limp at his side.
West had a double reputation in Sc
dalia. He had been at one time SUI
perintendent of Sunday school, and
stood well in the estimation of the
business people of the town. He was
also known, among another class of
citizens, as poker player of parts.
Early next morning West was released
