~ TRAIN ROBBERY. A Repetition of the Glendale Affair Within Two Miles of the Previous Robbery. "The 8t. Louis Train on the Al- ton Stopped and All the Passengers Robbed. Sixteon Masked Mon Take tho Train and Carry Off Every~ thing of Value. Kansas City Journal The people haye scarcely tired of reading of reports of the bold rob- bery of the Rock Island train at Winston, when they are to be startled by a repetition of this bold outrage on the Chicago and Alton. 1t was nearly 10 o’olock last night when the St. Lows train on the Alton road ran into the Union depot, and a erowd of | track just miles cast of Independenco, running twenty-five miles an hour when I saw a dim red light waving across the short distance ahead.

As the train stopped, two men camo down the bank and oue of them, presenting a cocked revolver, told me tocome down out of the cab and bring the coul pick with me. Tsaid: *Don't shoot, boys.” The leader replied “All rights we won't hurt you if you get down and out of that right lively.” I didn’t move very fast, because 1 knew what they wanted with the ham- mer, and I didn’t know but a little delay might help the messenger a little. They commenced to swear, and said: “Do as we tell you, of wo'll shoot the d--n head off of you.” All this time I heard orders some one to the gang telling them to do this and do that. excited passengers potred out of the| The leader was a tall, rather good cars and announced that they had [looking fellow, with —dark, heavy been stopped between Independence and Glendale and robbed of all their money and valuables by a gang of masked men, The passengers all talked freely, and it was soon learned that probably the boldest and héaviest of all the long list ot train robberies on railroads centering in this city had just been perpétrated miles of the city.

While a guard was sta- tioned on either side, a party of five | .or six went through the whole train, |* ing the sack, while the rest, with revolvers drawn, demanded the passengers’ money, watches and other valuables, and as fast as they were handed over they were thrown into the sack. Therobbers carried off NEARLY A BUSHEL «of pocket books, papers, watches, rings, pins and other valuables, There was a party of Western ex- -cursionists from the vicinity of Pen Yan, N. Y., on board ia charge of C. Roland Camp, general traveling and land agent for the Ft. Scott road. From these excursionists alone the robbers took about $4,000. 1t is probably no exaggeration to say th: the passengers contributed from $15, 000 to £20,000 in money and valua- Dbles, while the contents of the express «company’s safe cannot be definitely learned, but probably did not exceed $2,000, The baggage master said he didn’t think the safe contaived over $100 in woney, the contents being Snrinuipully papers. After the robbers had gone through the train they marched back to the engine and told the engineer to drive on. They im- amediately climbed up the bank and disappeared in the woods, The whole trausaction occupied about thirty minutes, and in that time was execu- ted one of the boldest and most s cessful raids ever atte:apted on a rai road train, o THE,ROBBERS, The leader is described as a tall man with dark beard, He wore a mask part of the time—when in the light-~ and in general answers very well to the description of the man who led the gang at Winston, and also bears resemblance to one of the men who robbed the Council Bluffs train about a year ago near Winthrop, The leac- er introduced himself to the engincer as Jesse James, and a companion, a short, heavy man, as Dick Little; and several times gfterward the leader ad- dressed the small man, calling him Dick, The other members of the gang were masked, but wore the dreas of farmers, It was noticable that the shoes of several were heavy cow- hides, such as farmers wear when plowing The Enginee:’s Statemont L: Foot, engineer of No, 150, was stopped.

He commanded a halt, Itold him an approaching freight would smash into us directly, and 1 was going back to flag it unless I was killed before T got there. T took a , and, stepping off, started round the curve to signal the freight. The man on the platform did not shoot, but a number hidden in the bushes on the banks shot at us repeatedly, some of the bullets whis- tling unpleasantly near, and I must confess to a little nervousucss, young man, but T was determined to stop that freight, for if it came into us | knew that everybody in the rear car would be killed or hurt, They were 80 close to us that I only had “to go about ten rods—just around the curve —and after I saw them stop I went back and took a seat in the sleeper. Just then the men came in the car, and if the passengers had kept away from me I don't thiuk 1 would have been recognized, but ey- erybody crowded about me for pro- tection, as though they thought me a government arsenal. . Of course I was ‘spotted’ and had to give up pretty liberally, [ had hid my watch and 876 in a water tank as I passed through the cars, and saved about £50 which I gave up ‘like a little man,’ 1 can tell you what time it is, though,"” and the conductor pulled out a gold repeater and a roll of about §75, the product of his miue in the water tank. ‘After the train was gone through the whole crowd went to the front and told the engineer to move on, that they were satisfied; and we moved from | | out twhile the robbors ran up the bank and disappeared in the woods. There wero sixteen of them that we counted, | but it is probable there wero more hidden in the bushes, as the shots | fired dt us came from the bank and I saw 1o one approach the train after it was stopped. They made a second trip theough the sleoper, turning up cusl and ransacking things gon eral! It was the worst looking car I over saw after they left, and T guoss the passengers, as a geveral thir gave up everything they had, though I believe thero were a few who saved part of their money and some jew elry. “Twent forward after we startod ap and found the express mossonger had been hit on the head with o re volver and slightly cut; the wound it, for the boys told me the engineer was forced to go back and break open | the door to the express car with a conl pick, so I presume they folt a httle wrathy toward him. 1 don't think they molested the mail car, or ier that portion of the car used by vernment, (we have onecar foe ge, mail and expre: Wut they tumbled the trunks around and 1 think broke open a few. *The passengers were badly fr ened aud when I first went through the train and told them what was up, a good many crawled under the seats and everyhody sought out some kind of u hiding place for their mon was o tough gang and they business, you can bet on that.” In the Chair Car. Charles Garfield, who was in the re- clining chair, said: ‘““As soon as we stopped 1 suspected from the locality, it being right in the mddle of the woods, that there was something wrong. The passengers wero all very quiet and the train men seemed to want to get out the way. I heard the sound of human voices. It seemed a8 though they were quarreling. I stuck my head out of tho window once and didn't see anything. I then went forward to the smoking car, and in a minute or two stuck my head out the window again. 1 saw what scemed two or thr:e men sitting by the side of the track, who, as soon as I stuck out my head, called out: “Stick in your head, g—d d—n you; we'll blow the top of it off if you stick it out here again.” Svon after that I heard eight or ten shots; they secmed to be all along the side of the train. When the passengers realized that the train was being robbed they were greatly excited. The women were all screaming and one man knelt down 1n the car and prayed. Some of them laid down under the seats and then got up again, They all seemed to be intent on hiding their money. Some men were tugging away to get their boots off, others were frantically looking around for some hiding place in the car. They put their money in almost every conceivable place. Soon thé robbers came . They all wore white masks over their faces, with holes for the eyes and nose—just ordi- nary cheap muslin, The first thing we heard was a cry of “hands up,” and two or three revolvers were stuck in the front door. There were cither five or six, 1 don't remember which, that came into the car. They were all armed, one of thein, the leader, also carrying a Winchester rifle. They cursed and siore fearfully as they passed through | the car. There was one man carrying a satchel into whicly everything was dumped. T only saw two watches tak- en.

After they had got through the leader ordered them on to the next car, and he stationed himself at tha dc He had two revolvers and a Winchester. He kept talking all the while. He said: *“If you are getting tired of holding your hands up 80 straight, why, slip them around behind your head and rest them. I suppose most of you put your hands up two or three times a day. T sup- pose the detectives will all bo heresin a day or two. They will all come on free passcs, but they won't find us here, They can’t stop us from. rob- bing trains; it’s our busmess, We could du it just the same if the bag- gage car was full of soldiers.” He quoted the Bible considerably, He said: “If weare going to be wicked, we might as well make a good job of it.” He thought it was just as wick to lie as it was tosteal. In appear- ance he was a rather spare man, medi- um height, rather broad shoulders, He had on a pair of brown pants, dark coat and slouch hat. He seemed to be talking in an unnatural tone. It was a sharp voice with,a decided Southern accent. It was perhaps ten minutes after he went out before the tram started. We heard them going back toward the engine. T think that they got a good deal of money out of our car, The Express Messonger- H. A. Roberts, ot St. Lostiu was the express messenger. He had received two v severe cuts on the head and wasn't inclined to talk much. His story of what happened in the express car is almost the same as that of the engi- neer who was a witness of the scene, He was compelled to unlock the safe at the point of a revolver, but de- clined to say how much he had., Dr. Rieger dressed the wounds and pre nounced them severe, but ho thought not serious, One was on the most prominent point on the left side of the head, n the top; the other was a round cut almost on the crown, Tt was the most severe and it was feared at first that the skull was fractured, but the doctor decided that it was not.

The passengers all kept mighty still while the robbers were in th They got Mr. Hazelbaker, the regular conduct- or, on the rear platform; they would not have known him but for the pas- sengers crowding around him and calling him “‘conductor.” A Texan's Fnu, T. H. Wagner, from San Marcos, Tex., stated: We were about four miles the other side of Independence when the train stopped. I was asleep at the the time, nnfl guess the busi- ness was done quietly, for the first I knew of anything f;eing wrong was when the conductor came through and told us to put our money in our socks, for the train was stopped by robbers and they would be after us i a min- ute. I wasin the smoker then, but jumped up and went into the next car, leaving my watch and money in a bas ket with a dog T was taking to Wich ita with me. Thoy were on to us in a holy minute, and I had just got in- sido when five men appeared at 1he front door, and one of them said, “hands up” and up thoy went, every man, woman and child was prompt, too. Oneof them began cursing tho passengers, holding a carbine ready to shoot the first man who stirred or offered any resistence. The rest went through the car, one man i pillowease while the rest went through the pockets, taking every Dblessed thing a man had, even to his pocket knife. They didn’t bother the ladies very much, but took rings and jew- elry from some of them and gave back money to gome who only had a trifle and looked poor. Theard about twenty shots Iirm{ before they entered the car, and learned afterward that they were fived at the conductor and a brakeman who had gone back to flag a freight that was close be- hind us. 1 guess®evorybody was pretty badly scared, for they were mighty prompt in minding what was said to them, and I noticed thoy shelled out liberally. All they wot from me was a juck knife, and I had the worth of it in fun, though T would have enjoyed myself better for a few minutes if I knew my money was safe in the basket with the dog. T supposed they had it, but I found it all right when T went back, They got €520 from the man who sat in the seat with me and his wateh and chain, 840 from another and $4 from another man. I don't know how much from the ofher passengers, but T guess I was the only one that con tributed nothing more valuable than a knife, Notes. Conrad M.
