Hugo 20, the other robber who lost his life in the battle with the officers, was the son of a widow named ingle, who mar ried Henry Gleitze, proprictor of the Ocei: dental hotel. He ' was known as “Plug’ Engle, or Gleitze, and was considerea to be generally tough, but it was not belioved that he had nerve cuough to attempt a job of train robbing.

Superintendent Hohl told of the attempted robbery: “On August 11 [ heard of a scheme that was arranged to hold up the B. & train No. 13, which left here at 12:20 o'clc a.m. on August 1. ‘This was frustrated by somebody having driven off the horse and buggy of the Kochler brothers, who left it hitched on Felix streot. 1uext heard of a plan to hold up the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs train No. 3 at Rushville during fair week, but the location of the robbery was afterward changed to a point between St Joseph and Amazonia, near Roy’s branch crossing. 1 was next advised that an attempu would be made to hold up No. 8last F'riday mght. The robbers were all on hand, but thoy expected fast freight train No. 17 ahead of No. 3, and intended to let that train pass. No. 17 was late, how- ever, and No. 3§ went ahead of it, and before the ‘robberf realized that the passenger train was coming they were unablo to flag it, and they returned to the city and divided up.
