No trace Of the robbers had been

headed west in two automobiles.
Squads of Chicago police guarded all
roads entering that city, and the
alarm was telegraphed to all central
Illinois towns.
One Passenger Shot.
The passengers were not molested.

in the shoulder. Thomas Baker, a
mail clerk, was shot in the hand and

inside the door was slammed shut.
Mail Clerks Dynamlted Out.
Several charges of dynamite and
firing from revolvers and shotguns
finally forced the door in and hand

only when the robbers had thrown
two bombs into the car and fire
