Paola, kas-After several hours

found a trace of the bandits who con-

Some Of the searchers expressed the
belief that the bandits, who escaped In
a motor car, had probably reached Kan.
sas City. The Kansas City police have
been asked to watch for them.
A merchant who lives on the JEFF
ferson highway, which runs near the
scene of the holdup, reported that a
motor car loaded with men stopped in
front of his home early in the morn
ing. He said the occupants were going
toward Kansas City and seemingly
we're lost.
According to postal and express com.
pany employees, the mail and express
cars which the bandits detached from
the train and later ransacked, yielded
them only a trivial amount.
Four persons on the train were
wounded during the shooting, which
apparently was INDUCED in by the rob-
bers in order to intimidate the passen-
gers. The injured were taken to a
hospital at Parsons. II was thought
all OF them would recover.
