Mr. | TRAIN HELD UP AND ROBBED BY BANDITS Three Express Cars on Missouri, Kansas and Texas Road Looted Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. band of ten robbers held up Missouri Kansas and Texas passenger train No. 9, south bound, from Chicago San Antonio, near Onapa, about 2 a. m., today, tied up the crew with ropes placed a guard over the passengers and looted three express cars. ‘held the train two hours and went about their work with military preci- sion. They sent back a detachment which stopped a freight train coming up behind and placed the freight crew under guard tqQ prevent interfer- | ence. Express officials refused to tell the amount of loot taken by the robbers, who escaped into the woods and marshes 2nd were today being pur- sued by peace officers of a dozen counties and hundreds of citizens or- ganized into posses. Plans Went Awry. | The train robbed often carries large ( amounts of money and securities. De- | spite the robbers methodical efforts, their plans went awry, and they toolk | away the contents of only one safe. | Three others defied their explosives. The men made no effort to molest mails or passengers. The band, it is believed, boarded the train at Checotah, north of the scene of the robbery. After passing Onapa, a station without telegraph facilities at night, the train was in a sparsely settled territory near the Canadian river, remote from interruption and dffording wild forests and marshes for escape. Here the robbers climbed ! over the baggage and mail cars into the engine. They forced thae engineer and fireman to stop the train. They routed the conductor from the passen- ger coaches and the other members of the crew from baggage and express cars. All were lined up by the track and some tied to trees, while members of the gang stood guard. Express Safes Impregnable. _ Work was then begun on the ex- press safes.s Three safes proved im- prégnable and were abandcned. After five charges of nitro glycerine were exploded the fourth safe was opened. During this {ime probably a dozen shots were fired by the robbers but excepting A brakeman who was wounded in the finger when he tried to escape, no one was hurt. When the loot from thc safe had been packed away, the rob- bers thanked the train crew, wished them ‘“‘Good night” and disappeared into the darkness on foot. , Foiled by Engineer. All the care of trained railroad men was exercised to prevent wrecks, guards being sent both to the front and the rear to flag any train that might approach. It was this caution that led to the stopping of a freight train in the rear and eventually to the spreading of the alarm of the rob- bery. Thz men guarding the freight tiain crew were foiled by the engineer who escaped and ran seven miles to Checotah, where he mmoned as- sistance. Before officials reached the spot all the band had fled. It is said that local officials at Eu- faula say that the amount of loot will not be known until the train reaches Denison, where information on what is carried is known. The train of ten cars carries large amounts of money and securities. The train was held up by the band- its for two hours. to wrecked The Rev, J. E. Klingberg officit- ed at the marriage of Axel T.

They | | “THEY REFUSE TO EAT At periods in most childrens’ lives theyfail to relish their meals and refuse to eat even the delicacies prepared to tempt their appetites. They lack am- bition, and growth seems impeded, which causes anxiety and worry. To compel them to eat is a grave mistake, because nutrition is impaired. Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun- shine is important, but equally import- ant is a spoonful of Scott’s Emulsion three times a day to feed the tissues and furnish food-energy to improve their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen their appetites.

Steel Opens With 10,000 Shares at Fractional Decling New York, Oct. 27.—Wall St., 10:30 a. m.—Prices showed greater irrégu- larity in today's early dealings, with more losses than gains.
