the untiring ingenuity displayed III

hol in the hold-up OF a Rock Island
Railroad merchandise train near Put
nam, Federal agents from Chica so
started an investigation here today
and in PekiT. They expected arrests
would follow soon.
One clue on which they worked was
the story that a man giving his name
as Albert Hanson of Pekin WAS or.
dered off the train yesterday by spe
cial agent riding it near Chillicothe
He said he was cumming his way to
Silvis. but agents believe he was the

to have been taken in robbery of

road office at Bartlett Station Thurs
day night. Thieves broke into the
building and took several rifles. a

acetylene torches. cutters and hose.
Similar tools in the hands Of the
score or more robbers broke open the
three cars from which the alcohol. 100
cases in 10 crates and so cases in )

The alcohol was consigned from the

leaped from the roadway toward the
train. Members of the crew. including

and Merle Thomas. special agent. were
surrounded and forced to hand over
whatever arms they possessed.
. While some of the masked robbers
held the engine crew at bay others
herded the remaining trainmen into
the caboose and their confederates
opened the cars and took the alcohol.
The trucks loaded the entire band
vanished in the darkness.
The methods employed were similar
to those in a holdup of a Santa Fe
