The Long and Short Robbers at It Again. Agent Locked in Car and Two Safes Blown. Last Wednesday night a robbery at our depot occurred which for boldness and daring has never before been equaled in ourcity. About one o’clock in the morning, while L. Christol the night operator was at his desk, he was startled by crash- ing glass, and looked up to face a big revolver pointed at him through the front window, and was ordered to hold up his hands. Another man made his entrance through the rear window, first emashing the glass. Christo! was searched, but permitted to keep his watch. The two men, neither of whom wore masks, march- ed the operator out through the men’s waiting room, where a young man was asleep, The men aroused him and when he made an ontcry, smashed him up side the head with a revolver. The agent and boy were fastened in a box car and the agent asked® for his pipe, {f he had to be locked{up all night, but his request was ignored. The robbers then blew open the office safe and took $50 in money and left a $350.00 draft. They then blew the express com- pany safe, but got nothing of value. An incoming freight crew released the agent and boy. The best descrip- tion they could give was that one was tall and slender the other short and heavy built. Both were smooth shaved and wore good clothes. By the time the local officers reaehed the depot all traces of the robbers were lost. The long and short rob- bers have become quite famous in Missourl, having committed rob- beries in a number of cities and counties in the past five or six years and always manage to escape, and we have no doubt this ts the same mysterious pair. prise.
