TRAFFIC TOO HEAVY FOR MOTOR LINE
Twt Accidents Da to Gmpowdrr
Which Mar Prove Fatal
and Several Minor
f asaaltle.
For hundreds of the clttiem of Council
BlutTs the Fourth proved a lore disap
pointment. They had planned to enjoy the
holiday at Lake Manama and with their
families picnic there, but they were un
abls to reach the lake for lack of car
aervlce. The motor company failed to
make any provision for handling: the local
traffic to the lake, and In consequence
hundreds of people were disappointed.
While tba motor company had every car
In the barna In commission yesterday, the
crowd from Omaha was so Immense that
every motor when It left serosa the river
"ss loaded to the limits. Each car as It
resched Council Bluffs on Its way to the
lake waa filled to Its utmost capacity,
people clinging on the ateps and other
vantage points. This made It impossible
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 their lunch baskets, sorely dis
appointed. From 1 o'clock In the after
Boon until B o'clock the crowd stood at
the corner of Pearl street and Broadway,
vainly waiting for an opportunity to get to
the lake.
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 st a standstill. At one time twenty
two trains were stalled between Sixteenth
avenue and the lake resort, passengers
being compelled to leavs the cars st the
Wabash crossing and make the rest of the
way to the lake on foot. From 3 o'clock
tintll shortly before C o'clock not a car
returned from the lake, and the service
between Council Bluffs snd Omaha was
consequently during this time at a stand
still. Requests thst some of the cars be
turned bark at Pearl street and Broadway
to accommodate the local travel and give
the people of Council Bluffa a chance to
get to the lake were Ignored by Superin
tendent Tarklngton, and during the entire
day but one car waa placed at the .dis
posal of the crowds congregated at Pearl
and Broadway. From Tearl street to the
Northwestern trscks crowds gathered at
very street, vslnly watting for an op.
portunlty to board a car to the lake, but
were compelled to give It up, as every
car was pscked to Its utmost capacity be
fore leaving Omaha.
The Rock Island. Milwaukee and North
western roads brought In a number of ex
cursionists, whose objective point wss Lake
Manawa, but they were unable to get there
and had .to. content themselves with spend
ing .the afternoon at Falrmount park or
roaming about the city: Toward evening
the service 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.
Manx VUlt the Park.
Falrmount park proved the Mecca for
the young folk yeaterday afternoon and
It Is estlmsted that at least 1,000 children
were gathered ther to enjoy the program
of sports offered by the park commission
rs, assisted by the citizens' committee.
The psrk wss also the resort of a large
number of family gatherings and picnic
parties, which could be seen dotted all
over the hills and In the dales. With the
plentiful shsds offered by the trees and the
fcresse thst blsw all day, Falrmount park
proved a most enjoyable resort yesterday.

TELLS OF TRAIN ROBBERY
Express Messenger Bejahl Recites Btory of
Ssusatioitl Holdup,
ROBBERS THREATEN TO USE DYNAMITE
Engineer Pleads with Desperadoes to
Give Men In Express Car
Cbane for Their Live No
Money Taken.
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 yesterdsy
afternoon about 6:19, its regular time being
1:30. Except for the perforated baggsge
car there was nothing about the train to
Indicate that It had passed through a
holdup. If any further proof of th thrill
ing Incident was needed, however, It was
abundantly available from the numerous
passengers, who hsd not recovered from
the effects of their scar when they
reached this city.
The robbery occurred three miles west
of Blue Island, 111., a amall station sixteen
miles west of Chlcsgo, about 11 o'clock.
Ths trsln left Chlcsgo st 10 o'clock. The
robber shot J. E. Kaln, assistant express
messenger, and got away with several
hundred dollars' worth of Jewelry, but
failed to find the money box. None of the
bandits, as nesr as th trainmen could
learn, were captured. The train was de
layed about an hour as a result of the
holdup, but lost time further along tho
trip. .
Rejafal Telle the Story.
Express Messenger W. F. Rejshl of 712
Union avenue, Chicago, who runs between
Chlcsgo and Omaha, was used by the rob
bers as their main guide and helper in
lootlDg the safe thst contained the treas
ures. At ths point of two ugly revolvers
Mr. Rejahl was forced to do tho bidding of
the robbers and he says he did it the very
best be could. Mr. Rejahl describes the
holdup ae follows:
The train hsd 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 blm or bis asso
ciate in the baggage car. Two of the
robbers climbed into the cab of the engine
and made th engineer and fireman dis
mount and escort them to the baggage
car. Before starting upon their grim
pilgrimage, however, the robbers com
manded the fireman to cut the train Into
two sections, leaving th baggage car In
a more desirable location for their pur
poses, but as the engineer had taken up
the slack, this demand was not compiled
with.
About to Cse Dynamite.
With the engineer and fireman at the
head of the procession, three bandits mads
for the baggage cgr. Reaching it. one of
the men drew from a sack three long, ugly
looking dynamlt fuses, with which be
proposed to blow up the car.
"This deadly plan no doubt would have
been carried out," said Mr. Rejahl, "had
not Engineer Ooodall pleaded with the
robbers to glv us fellows inside the car a
chance for our lives.
" 'Oh, don't do that,' bsgged Ooodall, as
ths man with the dynamite atarted to
place it in position for lta taut work; let
the men In th car know you are here and
give them a chance for their lives.'
- 'All right,' said th robber, and he then
mad the engineer step up to our car door
and rap with a hammer.
" 'It's the engineer, me. Ooodall; don't
shoot, for Ood's sake,' shouted th 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 ther must hav been
more.
Trainmen All Lined TJn.
" 'Com out of that,' shouted a deep,
husky voles, snd Kaln and I got out of the
car without delay. I found the engineer,
fireman, conductor and the brakemen lined
up against th train with their face to the
wall, just like your teacher ussd 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 charga and
seemed to be the lesder of the gang waa
big and burly. Two of the bandits kept
their guns on the rest of the boys while this
big chap and I went back Into the baggago
car, I ahead of my commander.
" 'Well, now what hav you got aboard,'
tba bandit asked me.
"I wss puisled 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 'er you got?' h said; 'quick,
out wld it.'
Delivering- t'p Jewelry.
"Without waiting for further ceremonies
I grabbed a ssck of Jewelry and then an
other sack and another and presently we

for granted tbst thess small sscks con
tained money and I wasn't volunteering any
information. At his command I threw all
ths small sscks into one large one and left
the car. ahead of htm again, for the carry
all which the robbers had left out In ths
road a few yards away. I dumped the treas
ure in this conveysnce snd back to the
car we went for more booty. This time the
bandit asked me what there was in ths big
safe. I told him money. He asked how
much. I could not tell exsctly, but hs
demsnded some estimate and I told him
I gueased 15.000 or-14.000. As a matter of
fact, I had no way of knowing.
"Before proceeding further, I was di
vested of my pistol, which my friend had
just spied.
" 'Well, out wld some of da money,' cam
his domineering command. But for soms
reason which I will never be able to give,

"I think the men must hsvs been new

HUNDREDS HUNT FOR BANDITS
Mea Who Held t p Hack Island Train
Beinsj Pursued Were After
OO.OOO In Snfe.
CHICAGO, July 4. With half a hundred
men on their trail and th promise of a
desperate bsttle and probably death for
their portion if they shall be overtaken, the
two bsndlts who hslted the Rock Island
railroad's Denver limited express train 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 today they pushed on
through the farming country, stealing a
buggy or a wagon here and there and aban
doning the teams when they were to ex
hausted to carry them further.
Farmers and residents in the little towns
in the vicinity of the scene of the rstd
swept over the surrounding fields and as
sisted in the hunt, but never a glimpse
wss bad of the fugitives. Occasionally a
rumor of their whereabouts was obtained,
but the utmost haste In organizing a poese
brought them nothing.
James Kaln, a veteran express messenger
who was shot down by the robbers while he
stood with his hsnds elevated above his
hesd, was brought to Chicago and, it la
believed, will recover.
Charles Nessler, the dupe and decoy of
the bandits, who was captured on the
ground after 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 States Express company that
were Journeying toward Omaha and Den
ver Is sdmltted to have been one of the
best planned raids of recent years, but It
was poorly executed snd the bsndlts tried
to carry out the program without suffi
cient force to protect themselves from an
attack.
The detectives engaged In the investiga
tion and the pursuit now belpg pushed all
over Illinois are satisfied that the robbers
hoped to force the big 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 carried 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.
