THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY 1902. 7 - CURRENT NFVVS OF IOWA TELLS OF TRAIN ROBBERY COUNCIL BLUFFS. SHUTS BLUFFS PEOPLE OUT Orowds from Omaha Take Up All the Room in Manawa Oara. TRAFFIC TOO HEAVY FOR MOTOR LINE Due Prove Minor Two Accldents Which May and Several Ca to Gunpowder Fatal For hundreds of the citizens of Council Bluffs the Fourth proved a sore dlisap- pointment. They had planned to eajoy the boliday at Lake Manawa and with their families plenic there, but they were un- able to reach the lake for lack of car service. The motor company falled to make any provision for handling the local traflc to the lake, and In consequence Bundreds of people were disappointed. While the motor company had every car in the barns in commission yesterday, the growd from Omaha was 8o Immense that every motor when it left across the river was loaded to the limits. Each car as it reached Council Bluffs on its way to the lake was filled to its utmost capacity, people clinging on the ateps and other vantage points. This made it fmpossible for the people of Council Bluffs to find room on the cars until late in the even- ing and hundreds were compelled to return home with thelr lunch baskets, sorely dis- mppointed. From 1 o'clock In the after- moon until b o'clock the crowd stood at the corner of Pearl street and Broadway, wvainly waiting for an opportunity to get to the lako. The want of power sadly handicapped the motor company and for several hours during the afternoon at the height of the travel to the lake the service was al- most at a atandstill. At one time twenty- two trains were stalled between Sixteenth avenue and the lske resort, passengers being compelled to leave the cars at the Wabash crossing and make the rest of the way to the lake on foot. From 3 o'clock until shortly before 6 o'clock not a car returned from the lake, and the service between Council Bluffs and Omaha wi consequently during this time at a stand- till. Requests that some of the cars be turned back at Pearl street and Broadway to ‘accommodate the local travel and glve the people of Council Bluffs a chance to get to the lake were ignored by Buperin- tendent Tarkington, and during the entire day byt one car was placed at the dis- posal of the crowds congregated at Pearl and Broadway., From Pearl street to the Northwestern tracks crowds gathered at every street, vainly waiting for an op~ portunity to board a car to the lake, but were compelled to give it up, as every car was packed to its utmost capacity be- /fore leaving Omabha. The Rock Island, Mliwaukee and North- ‘western roads brought in a number of ex- curslonists, whose objective point was Lake Manawa, but they were unable to get there and had to content themselves with spend- ing the afterncon at Fairmount park or roaming about the city. Toward evening rvice improved somewhat and shortly after 6 o'clock those who had patiently ‘waited at Pearl street and Broadway the entire afternoon were rewarded by se- curing transportation to the lake. Many Visit the Park. Fairmount park proved the Mecca for the young folk yesterday afternoon and 1t 18 estimated that at least 3,000 children were gathered there to enjoy the program of sports offered by the park commission- ers, assisted by the oltizens’ The park was also the pumber of family gatherings and plenio parties, which could be seen dotted all over the bills and in the dales. With the plentiful shade offered by the trees and the breeze that blew all day, Falrmount park proved a most enjoyable resort yesterday. Probably Fatal Accldent. Eugene Peterson, jr., eldest son of Eu- gene W. Peterson, local manager of R. G. Dun & Co., was seriously and possibly fatally injured yesterday while celebrating the Fourth. The young man, who is 23 years of age, with several companions, wi shooting off a miniature cannon, when in some manner a can of gunpowder exploded. Peterson happened at the time to be lean- ing over the cannon and gunpowder | 4 can hit him full in the face, cutting a deep gash across the nose just below the eyes, mearly severing the nose from the face and Infiloting other injuries which may poesibly prove fatal, The cut below the eyes extended pearly into the brain, so great was the force with which the jagged can was hurled nst the unfortunate man's fa should he you By it is feared that the sight of one e 18 loet and he will be permanently disfigured. Tnquiry at the residence of the famlily on Park avenue last evening elicited the in- formation that the young man was in a most critical condition and that the worst was feared. Young Peterson was employed In the office of R. G. Dun & Co. Two young sons of Glen Deyo, gineer living at 3426 Avenue C. were se- verely burned by gunpowder yesterday morning. The young lads were celebrating the day by flling empty cans with gun- powder and shooting ‘them into the alr, when one prematurely exploded. The elder of the two boys, about 12 years of age, was serlously burned about the legs, arm pock and face and was sald to be In a pritical condition last evening.

It was estimated that 15,000 people visi- ted Lake Manawa yesterday. Many went down before noon, taking thelr lunches with them and spending the entire day their. Picnlc parties thronged Shady Grove and in fact were to be seen scattered all over the grounds. While many started homeward early in the evening to avold the rush, it was long after midnight be- fore the motor company succeeded in get- ting the last of the visitors home. The two ball games between the Smith & Bradleys and the team from Earling, Ia., resulted in a double defeat for the visitors. In the morning game the Smith & Bradleys won by a score of 2 to 1, and in the afternoon by 8 to 0. Both teams played good ball and the attendance in the afterncon was large.

Patrolman Zalusky told the story of how he bad arrested Edwards, the “big-mitt" man, while running a joint on his beat. He took the man to headquarters, where he was set at liberty by Superintendent Ames, who told the witness that there was Bo ¢ inst the man he had arrested. Patrolman Rhodes told how he had been instructed by the chief not to arrest the “big-mitt” men, but to bring them and the “suckers” who complained to hénd- quarters. If the “suckers" refused to make complaint there were to be no ar- rests.

ROBBERS THREATEN TO USE DYNAMITE Express Car Chance for Their Lives—No Money Take: The Rocky Mountain Limited, the Rock Island train which was held up near Chi- cago Thursday night, when a baggageman was shot, arrived in Omaha yesterday afternoon about 6:15, its regular time being 1:30. Except for the perforated baggage car there was nothing about the train to indicate that'it had passed through a holdup. If any further proof of the thrill- ing incident was needed, however, it was abundantly available from the numerous passengers, who had not recovered from the effects of their scare when they reached this city. The robbery occurred three miles west of Blue Island, 1il, a small station sixteen miles west of Chicago, about 11 o'clock. The train left Chicago at 10 o'clock. The robbers shot J. E. Kain, assistant express messenger, and got away With several hundred dol worth ot jewelry, but failed to find the money box. Nonme of the bandits, as near as the tralnmen could learn, were captured. The traln was de- layed about an hour as a result of the holdup, but lost time further along the trip. Rejahl Tells the Story. Express Messenger W. F. Rejahl of 7123 Union avenue, Chicago, who runs between Chicago and Omaha, was used by the rob- bers as thelr main guide and helper in looting the safe that contalned the treas- ures. At the point of two ugly revolvers Mr. Rejahl was forced to do the bidding of the robbers and he says he did it the very best he could. Mr. Rejahl describes the holdup as follows: The train had reached a hill three miles outside of the little town of Blue Island, when It suddenly came to a standstill. Although it was unusual for the train to stop at that place, no thought or fear of a robbery occurred to him or his asso- clate in the baggage car. Two of the robbers climbed into the cab of the engine and made the engineer and fireman dis- mount and escort them to the baggage car. Before starting upon their grim pligrimage, however, the robbers com- manded the fireman to cut the train into two sections, leaving the baggage car In a more desirable location for their pur- poses, but as the engineer had taken up the slack, this demand was not complied with. About to U ‘With the engineer and fireman at the head of the procession, three bandits made for the baggage car. Reaching it, one of the men drew from a sack three long, ugly- looking dynamite fus with which he proposed to blow up the car. ““This deadly plan no doubt would have been carried out,” sald Mr. Rejahl, “had not Engineer Goodall pleaded with the robbers to give us fellows inside the car a chance for our lives. “‘Oh, don't do that,’ begged Goodall, as the man with the dynamite started to place it in position for ite fatal work; let the men in the car know you are here and give them a chance for their lives.’ “<All right,’ sald the robber, and he then made the englneer step up to our car door and rap with a hammer. “‘It's the engineer, me, Goodall; don’t shoot, for God's sake,' shouted the engineer to us fellows inside and I knew then what was up. I lost no time in opening up the door. There stood three robbers that I could see and, as I heard shooting down the train, I think there must have been more. Dynamite. Trainmen All Lined Up. “'Come out of that, shouted & deep, husky voice, and Kain and I got out of the car without delay. I found the engineer, fireman, conductor and the brakemen 1lined up against the train with thelr faces to the wall, juet lke your teacher used to do you when you didn’t know your lesson and had to wear the dunce cap or when you broke some cherished rule of hers. “The fellow who took me in charge and scemed to be the leader of the gang was big and burly. Two of the bandits kept thelr guns on the rest of the boys while this big chap and I went back into the baggage car, 1 ahead of my commander. +Well, now what have you got aboard,’ the bandit asked me. “I was puzzled to know just what to say, but he helped me out of my dilemma by thrusting his big gun a little closer to my nose. * ‘What out wid it Delivering Up Jewelry, “Without waliting for further ceremonies I grabbed a sack of jewelry and then an- other sack and another and presently we had jewelry to burn. The robber took it for granted that these small sacks con- tained money and I wasn't volunteering any information. At his command I threw all the small sacks into one large one and left the car, ahead of him again, for the carry- all which the robbers had left out in the road a few yards away. I dumped the treas- ure In this conveyance and back to the car we went for more booty. This time the bandit asked me what there was in the big safe. 1 told him money. He asked how much. I could not tell exactly, but he demanded some estimate and I told him 1 guessed 35,000 or'$6,000. As & matter of tact, I had no way of knowing. “Betore proceeding further, I was ai- vested of my pistol, which my friend had Just spled. “Well, out wid some of de money,’ came his domineering command. But for some reason which I will never be able to give, he 4id not press his demands, and the money stayed in the safe. Had he gotten it he would bave made a rich haul, but he abruptly changed his mind, evidently, ‘er you got? he sald; ‘quick, and leaped from the car and within a few minutes he and his confederates were off and we were left to congratulate ourselves on the fact that we were still alive, and that the robbers got away with so little actual booty. New at the B “I think the men must have been new at the business, or they would never have left a job, 8o well begun, as incomplete as that. They didn’t appear to be the least bit nervous or excited, but suddenly séemed to think that it was best for them to leave. I am positive that had they mot believed there was money in those sacks I was forced to give them, they would mot have glven up the job as they did. “I could through the holes of the leader's mask that he was a rather young man. There were no wrinkles about his 1 tried my best to e what color Bbad, but he shifted them too often for that. “My partner, Kain was shot in the groin. It must have been a stray bullet, as there was lots of shooting outside. This leads us all to believe that there were a num- ber of robbers back keeping the passengers in line or at least firing 80 as to frighten them so they would not come out. “Yes, you can bet I did just what that tellow told me. I would have been a fool to bave done otherwise. 1 don't wast any more of that sort of strenuous life in mine." Injuries Not Fatal. Kain, the injured man, was placed in care of & physician at Tinley park by the tralnmen. His injuries are not considered fatal. He lives in Chicago and runs from that eity to Rock Island. The other men say they don't think Kain could have been exposed any more than they and must have been hit by merely a stray bullet. A number of such shots plerced the bag- RAge car.

HUNDREDS HUNT FOR BANDITS Men Who Held Up Rock Island Tr: Being Pursued—Were After $00,000 in Safe, in charge of the CHICAGO, July 4.—With half a hundred men on their trall and the promise of a | desperate battle and probably death for thelr portion if they shall be overtaken, the two bandits who halted the Rock Island rallroad’s Denver limited express traln at midnight Thursday and escaped after mor- tally wounding one of the express messen- gers, are still at large. All during the night and through teday they pushed on through the farming country, stealing a buggy or a wagon here and there and aban- doning the teame when they were to ex- hausted to carry them farther. Farmers and residents in the little towns in the vicinity of the scene of the ratd swept over the surrounding flelds and as- slsted in the hunt, but never a glimpse was had of the fugitives. Occaslonally a rumor of their whereabouts was obtained, but the utmost haste In organizing a posse brought them nothing. James Kain, a veteran express messenger who was shot down by the robbers while he 8tood with his hands elevated above his head, was brought to Chicago and, it fs belleved, will recover. Charles Nessler, the dupe and decoy of the bandits, who was captured on the ground nfter they had fled, was brought from Jollet during the day by Sheriff Magerstadt, but the officers do not believe he will be of much assistance in running down the fugitives. The attempt upon the strong boxes of the United Slates Express company that were journeying toward Omaha and Den- ver is admitted to have been one of the best planned raids of recent years, but it was poorly executed and the bandits tried to carry out the program without suffi- clent force to protect themselves from an attack. The detectives engaged in the investiga- tion and the pursuit now beipg pushed all over Illinols are satisfled that the robbers hoped to force the blg safe, which con- tained somewhere in the neighborhood of $90,000, and only the precipitate shooting of the messenger defeated them in this project. When they fled they carrled with them several packages of cheap jewelry, valued at about $300, and a quantity of catalogues and patent medicine bottles, which they apparently thought were bun- dles of valuables.
