from Scene In Two A n
tomobfles. COFFEYVITjLE, Kan., March 24. For
two hours laat night six masked men
held St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
passenger train No. 104 at a standstill on
the prairie about six miles south of this
city while they blew open a safe in the
express car and escaped in (wo automo
biles, carrying with them money and val
uables, which It is believed will amount
to $20,000. ' V
The train left Little Rock at 1:30 a, m
yesterday, bound for Kansas City. It waa
made up of a combination, barrage and ex
press car. a day coach, a' chair car, a
sleeping car. a dining car, an observation

Bandits Are Methodical.
Just after the train left Lenapah Engi
neer Lynch heard a sharp cry:
"Hands up!"
Turning, he saw a masked man sitting
on the tender pointing a revolver at him.
"I'm going to ride a little way with
you," said the man. "Prlve on!"
The engineer drove on. About four miles
out of Lenapah the man made the engi
neer atop the train at a place where the
tracks crossed - a small culvert near a
clump of trees. Five more masked men
came out of the clump, and, taking posi

to shoot Into the air and along the sides
of the train. Then, while two of the men
stood guard to prevent any passenger front
leaving, the other four marched the engi
neer and fireman to the day ooach uaad
as a "Jim Crow" car and locked them In
there.
One man then took a position , to guard
the rear of the train and three went into
the express car, forced the two express

COLUMBUS. Ind., March 24.-(Speclal.)-Tho
office of Caldwell & Prake, contract
ors and builders here, waa wrecked with
dynamite last midnight. About five min
utes later a dynamite charge was set off
under a big derrick 100 feet away and it
was partly wrecked. It is believed here
there is a conspiracy to do the firm dam
age wherever It has work. The firm has
contracts In various places. It has no
labor trouble and it is stated here that no
men have 1een - discharged.
The night watchman is Wesley Weaver,
who makes the rounds regularly. At mid
night he had rung In an alarm for the
back, office and had gone only a short dis
tance away when the dynamite charge
exploded under the desk of Frank Hanlka,
the superintendent of the plant. The desk
was demolished. Everything in the room
was smashed by the explosion except a
large picture which hung over the desk,
The glass of the picture waa not even
cracked.
Immediately after the explosion Ambrose
Mathla, a grocer who lives a short dis
tance from the office, thought he saw a
man In front of his store. He fired five
shots at the man, who disappeared. A
moment or two after the explosion a car
riage drawn by two white horses and with
ths aide curtains closely drawn drove away
rapidly from the scene.
Indianapolis bloodhounds havs been sent
for. The damage waa moatly to the build

'I was on Farnam street about half way
between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth,"
said a gentleman whose experience has
made iiim aomewhat familiar with dyna
mite and other high explosives, "when I
heard the explosions. The first sounded
like two five-Inch sticks of dynamite, but
they did not go off together. They made
distinctly separate reports, a very .appre
ciable Interval between the two. They
were sharp and clear, sounding like good
dynamite, well detonated. The second ex
plosion came quite a little later, should say
two or thres minutes after the flrat. It
had a muffled sound, as if the dynamite
had deteriorated."
