An Kxnre.a Train on th MlMoorl Ki
Texaa Road Meld Cjt Br Mltd
l.reSOO0 Stolen. rf
Katjsas City Mo. Nor. 25-
spoclsl to tho limes says: ?o
maskod men armed with revolvers
fobbed n Missouri Kansas Si Tei
train Of $50C00 at a water tenlr on
Pryor creek lisar Perry station I. T.
at 0:fl0 last night
The robbers displayed irrcnt coolness
nnd Express Messenger Johnson who
was relieved of between $15000 and
$50000 is certain that they wcro pro-
lcilsiotmls. Just as tho north bound train stofpwl
at tiio water tank this sldo of Perry
station one of tho robbers boarded the
engine and covered the engineer and
fireman With his two revolvers-
"Do as I tell you and do It
quick" tho man said.
At the amo tirao a second robber un-
rounled tho oxtircss and mall car from'
theuccgular train and signalled for tha
trdin to go ahead. Ho at onco Jumped
Into the 63prss car and covered thr-
one man who was In chargo of it with
hi revolvers.
lit this way a run of perhaps onemlte
was mado when tho train slopped.
Not a half doted words wcro spoken
whlto tho IralS waln motion.
As soon as the train had stopped tho
robber cho had all the while kept Ex-
press Mcsocngcr Johnson undr cover
of his revolvers commanded him to
onen tho safe. Just what language
i was used oven tho expressman can not
tell but ho unlocked mo saio nnu
handed tho packages ono by one to
tho robber who placed them In a ban
which ho had brought Into Uio car with
him.
In tho ineantlmo tho engineer and
Oreman had been kept constantly un-
der cover of tho two revolvers leveled
orrthem when tho first robber boarded
tho engine.
When tho desperado who was en-
gaged In rilling tho express car had
mado Ids Haul ho left tho car and
walked deliberately to tbo engine. He
signalled Ids companion to como on
and ho immediately oueycii.
Tho two men did not appear In the
toast excited and evidently did not
want to harm anyone. Tho wholo
transaction was gono through with In
Buch a methodical way that the train
hands could hardly reallzo what was
going on.
Tho engineer as soon as ho had been
relieved ot tho prcsenco of tho des-
perado ran tho engine back to tho
train. Tho nasscmrers had not been
alarmed In tho least and did not know
Uib purposo for which tho train had
been stopped. When the news was
communicated to them they wcro an-
noyed and somo of tho men offered to
assist in hunting for the robbers. The
train men gavo It as their opinion that
the two desperadoes had pals waiting
for them lu tlve woods aud had made
good their escape
'Alio wholo transaction uiunoirequira
more than twcnty-Pe minutes.
Tho Pacific Exprecd Company will be
Uio loser. Expressman Johnson could
not estimate his los3 until ho had ar-
rived at 0?wcgo. Ho thinks that tho
loss will bo-'between $40000 and $50000
and may run higher.

disaffection already among tho new
