TWO ROBBERS KILLED
BY RAILROAD MEN
IN ATTACK ON CAR
St. Joseph, Sept. 25.—When five
robbers broke into a car of mer
chandise at East Leavenworth, Mo.,
early today, they were fired upon
by railroad officers.
The bandits, who were traveling
in a motor car, retreated with their
wounded and drove rapidly away. An
hour later, a St. Joseph undertaker
was summoned to Platte City, eight
miles from the scene of the shoot
ing, to get the body of Joseph
Scotch. Later, an abandoned auto
mobile was found near Dearborn
with the dead body of Frank Scotch,
brother of Joseph. The brothers
lived in St. Joseph and have police
records.
No trace of the other three ban
dits has been found.
