time to reach the scene before the
tiighwaymeu could Ret away. When
the robbers heard the engine ap
proaching they fled, firing a few
shots at the officers as they disap
peared in the darkness.
The passenger coaches and sleep
ing cars stood on the tracks more
than tw*o hours until the engine and
express cars were brought hack, and
thet rain started on Its way to Kan
sas City.
A few passengers, some courageous
and some going along because they
admitted, "they did not want to be
left alone." acrompuulod Conductor
John C. Iloyd of Chicago when he
started to make un investigation.
"Got hack there, damn you," was
«..oir greeting, emphasized by revolv
er shots, when they approached the
express car. After that the passen
gers were content to remain safely
under cover. The pursuit was us
spectacular us the holdup. When
Klugmun Horace Smith ran back and
notified the operator at Hies, the lat.

dred yards from the train. At first
the pair paid no heed to the switch
engine's arrival, but when the offi
cers stepped down the'tneu fled.
The officers tried to surround the
men, whom they were sure they
would capture, but the bandits mys
teriously disappeared. Most of the
deputies returned to the city at day
light reporting "nothing doing."
Sheriff Mentor sent out another
force of men and Police Chief Un

bandits crept back into the city
