IKaiKAi City Journit ,
The people hayo scarcely tired of
reading of reports of the bold rob
ibcry of the Rock .Inland train at
Winston , when they a o to bo startled
by a repetition of this bold outrngo
on the Chicago and Alton. It was
. nearly 10 o'clock last night when the
St. Loins train on the Alton road ran
into thu Union depot , and a crowd of
excited passengers iiourod out of the
cars nml announced that they had
been stopped between Independence
.and Glcndale and robbed of all their
money and valuables by a gang of
Jnasked men. The p.issongcrs all
talked freely , and it was soon learned
that probably the boldest and heaviest
-of all Iho long list ot train robborie
-on railroads centering in this city hat
just boon porpdtruted within toi
miles of the city. The details as tlio
wore related by the p.issongors showei
that it was a well planned and we !
-executed alF.iir , but while planned b
those who had evidently had experience
-onco in such mutters before , the ma
jority of the gang engaged were
countrymen who will doubtless bo a
work on their farms in the vicinity o
the robbery by the time this tale o
.their exploit reaches the reader.
The Xlotribory-
The train robbed was the St. Loui
di"ision of the Alton , west bound
'duo hero about 9 o'clock. Just ubou
fchreo miles east of Independence anc
not more than a dozen miles from this
city , is a sharp curve and grade. The
train men are in the habit of watching -
ing for stalled freight trains on thai
-.curve , and keep their trains well under -
dor control so that they can bo stop-
J > ed quickly. The robbers probably
md observed this before.
The engineer of this train was on
the outside of , the curve looking
-ahead , when ho saw a dim rod light.
A tall man waved the light across the
track , and as ho did so the gleam ol
it ho headlight fell on him and showed
that ho was masked. The firsl
thought of the engineer was that
rthero was a stalled freight train ahead ,
but AS ho caught a glimpse of the
imask , and at the same instant of a
< big pile of stones between the rails ,
ho understood the situation perfectly.
There was nothing that could , bo done
but to stop the train and
SUMMIT TO THE HOB1IEKY.
The engine came to a dead atop
j'flst as the prow of the pilot touched
the pile of stones. The location se
lected for the robbery is in a cut , and ,
immediately the robbers , sixteen in
number , came running down the
tianks on either side , and surrounded
the train. The leader covered the
engineer with his revolver and com
pelled him to break open the express
.car. The messenger of the United
States Express company , which runs ,
on this road , and the baggage master , ;
had left the car , but the messenger .
was soon found and under cover ot a
revolver was forced to open the safe.
It is likely tlmt tlio amount obtained
was small , though that could not bo
.certainly ascertained last night , as
they took the bills and all the contents -
. tents of the safe. This fact may

of the passengers , for , after knocking
the messenger twice on the- head with '
-a revolver , and cursing him for not
having more money , they dumped the
contents of the safe into' common
< grain sack and started for-tho passon-
.ger coaches. While n guard vas sta
tioned on cither side , a party of five
-or six wont through tlio whole train , ,
one carrying the sack , while the rest ,
with revolvers drawn , demanded the
jpassongers' money , watches and other
valuables , and as fast as they wore
.handed over they were thrown into
the sack. The robbers carried oil
NEAULV A
of pocket books , papers , watches , ;
rings , jiins and other valuables.
There was a party of Western excursionists -
cursionists from the vicinity of Pen
Yan , N. Y. , on board ia charge of 0.
lloland Camp , general traveling and
land agent for the Ft. .Scott road.
Prom these excursionists alone tlio
xobbors took about $1,000. It is
' probably no exaggeration to say that
'tho passengers contributed from 815-
000 to $20,000 in money and valua a
bles , while the contents of the express
company's safe cannot bo definitely
learned , but probably did not exceed
§ 2,000 , The baggage master said ho
didn't think the safe contained over I
8100 in money , thu contents being
principally papers. After the robbers
had gene through the train they
marched back to the cngino and told
the engineer to drive on. They im-
incdiatuly climbed up the bank and
disappeared in the woods. The whole
transaction occupied about thirty in
minutes , and in that time was cxeuu
ted onn of the boldest and most sue-
cossful raids over attempted on u rail
road train.
TifKnoiiiiKis. :
The leader is described as a tall man
Tvith dark board , Ho were a mask
so
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 11 hi I ) 4 train about
n year ago near Winthrop. The loa ( '
or introduced himself to the engineer
as Jesse James , and a companion , a
short , heavy man , as Dick Ijittloj and
several times Afterward the loader ad '
dressed the small man , calling him
.Dick , Tlio other members of the
gang wore masked , but were tlio dross
of farmers. It was noticnblo that the
ehocs of several wcro heavy cow
hides , euch as farmers wear when
plowing. _
The Kniuooi'a | Statement'
L , Foot , engineer of No. 150 , was

.around a curve in a cut about three
miles cast of Independence , riinnini ,
txxonty-fix-o miles an hour when I saxx
a dim red light waving ncioss tin ,
track just n short distance ahead ,
Frcichl trains often got stnllod then
and i supposed that xvns what was the
trouble this time. I began to slack
up and snon saw that I no man xvho
xxas flagging the tr.iin xvns masked ,
ami I nlso snw him sot the liuitcrn on
a pile of stones bcttvoon thn rails (
turned to my fireman and totv. him wo
were going to bo robbed. As the
train stopped , txvo men came tloxx-n
tlio bank mid ono of them , prcnuntinii
n cocked icvolvcr , told mo to come
doxvn out of the cab and bring the
coal pick with me. I snid : "Don't
shoot , boys. " The leader replied !
"All right ; xvo xvon't ' hurt you if you
got doxvn and out of that right lively. "
I didn't move very fast , becausu 1
knoxv what they wanted xxilh ihu ham
mer , mid 1 didn't knoxv but a little
delay misfit help the messenger n
little. They commenced to sxvear ,
and said : "Do as xvo toll you , i
we'll shoot the d n head oil'of you. "
\11 this thho I heard orders from
some one to the gang telling them to
do this and do that.
The leader wa a tall , rather good
looking folio v , with dark , heavy
beard. Ho had a slight eumk in his
nose as if it had been broken some
time , and were a broad slouch hat.
Ho came up , shook hands and said
liis name was Jesse James , Ho then
introduced one of his gang , a short ,
liuax-y folloxxI don't remember what
ho called him. "Dick '
Little/ sug
gested the reporter. I believe that
xvas itI think I heard him call him
Dick aftenvard. Of course I don't
knoxv whether this xx-as Jesse James
or not ; I never saxv Jesse James and
don't knoxv how ho looks. Well ,
they took mo to the express car and
told mo to break open thu door. I
struck it a low bloxvs and then
opened it. In the meantime the
express messenger and the baggage-
master had slipped out at the door on
the ether side and xx-oro trying to con
ceal themselves. The robbers asked
mo where the messenger was and
were very angry at not finding him.
[ told them. I didn't knowl The
eader said very calmly and positively.
"Find the express messenger or I'll
shoot you. " I didn't like the look in
tis face , so I told the express mcssen-
ror lie might just as xvoll give up.
The leader told txx'o of the men to got
nto the car. The messenger was
very sloxv about opening the safe , and
hey struck him over the head xx'ith a
revolver.
I understand there was only a small
amount of money in the safoand they
seemed to bo mad about it and struck
ho messenger again. I guess they
mrt him pretty bad. They dumped
ho contents of the safe into a sack
and started back to the train , saying ,
"We'll go through the passengets ,
and don't you move till wo toll you. "
Wo had passed a freight trainat Glendale -
dale , and there was danger cf its run-
ling into the rear of our train , so
; he conductor sent a brakeman , 15ur-
, on , back to flag it. The robbois saxv
lim start with the lantern , and com-
nenccd to shoot at him. I guess
.hero must have been as many as
'orty shots fired at the boy. I told
ho leader what ho xvas going backer
or , that unless the train xx-aa flagged
ho freight xvould run into us and
naybo kill a lot of people. Hu throxr
up his bunds and ordered the firing to
stop , and it did stop instantly. They
md started to run after him , and a
x'ould certainly have killed him if
hey hadn't been slopped just xvhen
hey were. I think there were six in a
.ho party that went.through the c.ir.
Clio others xve'ro stationed along on
either side of the train. Everything
xras quiet after they quit liring at
iurton. While the robbery xnis goit.

The Conductor's Story. go
Conductor J. N. Ilazolbakcr related 80
ho circumstances of the robbery as
iollovva : ' 'Wo xx'orfj about three miles
the ether side of Independence , in
xvhat is knoxm as the Blue cut , xvhun
the train suddenly stopped and I xvent
out to see what was the trouble. I
saxv the train surrounded by a num
ber of masked men he.xvily armed ,
and at once started back , passing
through all thu cam , warning thu pas
sengers to secrete their valuables , as
gang of rabbets xvvro aboard who
xvould spare nothing of value if visi xvo
ble I passed to the rear platform , it.
xvhon .a man xvith txvo icvolvcrs luv- to
oled at mo. IIu commanded a halt ,
told him ail approaching freight
xvould smash into us directly , and I
xv.is going back to flag it unless I xvas
killed before I got there. T took a to
lantern , and , stopping oil' , started -
back around thu curvu to signal the
freight. Thu man on the platform
did not shoot , but a number hidden
thu bushes on thu bunks shot at us
repeatedly , some of thu bullets xvhis-
tling unpleasantly near , and I must our
confess to a little nervousness , young
man , but I xvas determined to stop
that freight , for if it came into us I
know that everybody in the rear car
would be killed or hurt. They xx'cru
close to us that I only had to go -
about ten rods just around the of
curve and after I saxv them stop I
wont back and took a neat in the
sleeper. Just then the men came in Ho
the car , and if the passengers had ut
kept away from mo I don't ' think 1
would liavo been recognized , but ev
erybody croxvdod about mo for pro
tection , as though they thought mo a not
government arsenal. Of course I xx'as
'spotted' and had to give up nrotty the
liberally. C had hid my watcli und a
87i > in a xvutor tank aa 1 pasftcd
through the cars , and saved about 850 at
which I gave up 'liko n lUtlo man. ' I but
can toll you xvhat time it is , though , "
and the conductor pulled out a gold
repeater and a roll of nbout 87ft , thu
product of his mine in thu water tank.
"After the train xvas uono through the
tha xvholo crowd wont to thu front
and told thu engineer to move on , that
they were Eatiafied ; nml wo moved | the

but it is probnblo there wcro inoro

saw no ono approach the train after il
xvas stopped. They niado a secontl

the passengers , ns u gonornl thimr ,

olry."T
"T wont forxx-aid after xvo started
up and found Iho express messenger
had boon hit on the head with u re
volver and slightly cut ; the wound
bled snmo but I don't think ho was
badly hint. I guess ho fought for
the tnoiuy ho had. and tried to hit'
it , for the boys told mo the cnginec
xvas forced to go back and break ope
the door to the express ear xvith
