BANDITS DYNAMITE AND
SET FIRE TO MAIL CAR
Robbers Overlook Pouch Conts ininu
100000; Total Haul Estimated
At About $4OO

Paxton, Ill.-Hundreds of men In
posses early Tuesday were search
Ing for 10 bandits who Monday night
held up the Illinois Central New Or
leans Limited two miles south of here,
wounded four train employees, stole
two pouches of registered mail, and
escaped after setting fire TO the mall
car. W
The passengers were not molested,
although one was grazed by three bull
let's which pierced his coat when he
and three companions went up to the
mail car and fired on the bandits while
they were fighting the engine crew and
two mail clerks, barricaded In the mail
car.
A colored train porter was the only
man seriously injured by the robbers,
he being shot in the chest and groin
as he stood on the svestibule of one
car. The fireman was wounded in the
shoulder, a mail clerk was shot in
the hand and shoulder and another
was dubbed over the head with a re-
volver
Two of the robbers boarded the
train at some point between Chicago
and Paxton and covered the engine
crew with their guns as the train was
passing through here, according to the
report of Division Superintendent J.
w. Hevron. They ordered the en-
gineer to proceed to a bridge where
the train was stopped with the passen-
ger coaches on the bridge. Ordering
the crew to break the train the en-
gineer and fireman were forced to pull
the mail car up the tracks and about
eight other men appeared from their
automobiles. On a threat of shooting
the engineer and fireman of the train
II the mail gar was not opened, the
robbers forced the mail clerks to open
the door, but when the engineer and
fireman had clambered inside, the
door was slammed shut.
Several charges of dynamite and
firing from revolvers and shotguns fin
ally forced the door In and a hand-to-
hand battle ensued which only stopped
after the robbers had thrown two
bombs into the car and a firebrand
which smoked out the four men In the
car.
During the fight the mall clerks and
fireman were injured. These men
were forced to throw out the red
sealed sacks containing registered
mail and then jumped from the burn
ing car. The bandits escaped In their
automobiles
A mail pouch, containing 100000,
was believed to have been the object
OF the bandits, but in the haste of max
Ing their escape the pouch was over
looked. Postal authorities estimate q
loss of only $500.

Funny Christmas Habit.

There is not drug store, cigar shop
or barroom in the larger cities which
has not been made the storage room
for Christmas presents bought before
the rush sets in. The strange part Of
1t is that every man who utilities the
friendship of his favorite place round
the corner thinks he is the only one
who thought of the plan. Realizing
that the stores will be crowded, many
far-sighted heads of families bought
their presents a week in advance, and
then, fearing the nature of the mystic
rious package would be discovered at
the office or at home, they hit upon the
device of making cache in some re,
sort near home.

Plants for Christmas.

Other things being equal, 1t is bet
ter to buy plants near ones home than
to travel afar. Do not be tempted,
even by cheap offers, to go miles
away, for counting car fares, packing,
expressage and lost time. the ultimate
cost is very likely to be more than If
you paid a good deal higher price at
home. Of course 1t may happen that
one grower or florist has large stock
of some one thing and can sell at a
low rate, but dealers usually have an
understanding with one another es-
pecially regarding holiday prices, and
for weeks before the holiday season
they have been balancing stock with
each other, so that the better quality
plants are OF an almost fixed value.

the University of Virginia at Char.

with the scenery of the Shenandoah

crystal springs, bordered by the Blue
Ridge mountains on the east and the
Allegheny on the west. The most
delightful part of his trip was a
forty-mile tour in an automobile
across the beautiful Blue Ridge
mountains. The day was clear and
serene, and the scenery from the
mountain side was gorgeous and,
will always leave a deep impression
upon my memory" said Mr.. Strickler.
