A BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
Trains Hold Up On the B*nU-Fe Boad And
Passenger* Bobbed.
Hutchinson, Km., Feb. 5.—Train No. 1 on
tho Santa Fc passed west through Hutch n ton
last nipht on time. When hylvU, a small sta
tion twenty miles west was roacho<l tho train
stopped lor coal. Two men era', 1 d into the
cab, at the same time covering Engineer
Koarney and liis fireman with guns. They
robbed the engiueer and fireman of thoir
money, about *40,aud ordered them to maren
to tho express car and break open tho door.
A demand was made upon the messenger,
Jesse Ruble, to open the Hafe, but when bo
refused the robbers abaiuumd tho idea of
robbing tho express car and marched the en
gineer and fireman with a sack, into the pass
enger coach, and while ouo man held the
trainmen tho other covered the passengers
and ordered “hands up.” Thus they went
through tho train, dumping pocketbooks,
watches, knives and revolvers into tho sack.
The amount of money secured cannot be esti
mated. Ono lady of Hutchinson says she had
at leant $J0O when she purchased her ticket,
which she was made to donate. The robbers
wore very cool and deliberate, taking fully an
hour to do their work. When tho robbers en
tered tho coach about the first man they cov
ered was Conductor McGrath and hl» brake-
man, and they too were forced to surrender
their valuables. After tho work of robbing
tho coaches was over the engineer and fire
man Wfte marched back to the engine and or-
