A TRAIN HELD UP IN MISSISSIPPI
BY MASKED MEN WITH
KEVOLTERS.
Captain Binch Sapposed to be the Leader.
They Get Away With 12700
Overlooking $70000.
Mobile Ala. September 25. The Mobile
and Ohio south bound mail and passenger
train was held up at 3:10 this morning by
train robbers at Buckatunna Miss. a sta-
tion seventy miles north of Mobile. The
train was due here at 6 a. m. Just before
the train left Buckatunna two men mount-
ed behind the tender of the train and
climbing over covered Engineer Jack
Thorel and Fireman Thomas Hust with
their revolvers. The robbers were dis-
guised with red bandana handkerchiefs
over the lower part of their faces.
The leader ordered the engineer to
pull out and stop at a bridge twenty five
miles below Buckatunna and place the
train so that the express and muil car
should be on the further side of the bridge
from the rest ofthe train the bridge being
a trestle over a deep creek.
"You obey instructions . or it's death"
lie said. -
The engineer looked down tire barrel of
the pistol and slowly pulled the lever. The
train ran rapidly around to the spot in-
dicated and the engineer put the train
just where the man with the pistol wanted
it Then there appeared a third
robber disguised like the other
two. These three made the engineer
and fireman come out with ' them to
the express car and the engineer had to
call out to the expressman J. W. Dunning
to open the car. The wooden door was al-
ready opene but the iron barred door wa s
closed and locked.
Dunning was seated with his back to the
door and when he turned around he
looked down the muzzles of three revolvers.
The command was given and Dunning
opened the barred door and in the chief
robber jumped. The other two remained
outside to guard the engineer and fireman.
The leader made the messenger dump the
contents of the safe into a can-
vass sack but noticing that he
was not closely watched Dunning
shoved some ot the money aside so that
about a thousand dollars was hidden the
robbers getting $2700. All this money be-
longed to the Mobile and Ohio railway.
Alongside the express car door was a pi i
of $70000 government money en route to
Florida which the robbers failed to notice.
Then the robbers made the expressman
get out of the car and go with them to the
mail car. W. C. Bell mail agent had sus-
pected that a robbery was going on and
tried to get into the baggage car with a
number of registered packages of mail.
Just as he stepped to the end door of the
car he saw through the glass that the rob-
bers had intercepted mm. The robber
leader supposed to be Capt. Bunch faced
him pistol in hand and finding Bell's
arms full of packages exclaimed :
"Dump those here on my left arm."
There were twenty-four packages in all
and Bell dumped them as requested. 1 he
robber made Bell hand him the registered
pouch and ordered the agent to open it.
but Bell had no kev so the robber carried
the pouch otf with him. The pouch was
made up at Meridian and the contents and
value are unknown. Just then Billy
Scholes the conductor who had .been try-
ing to find out the trouble had armed him-
self with a Winchester came out of the
rear of the train waved his lantern and
snouted :
"What's the matter?"
The robbers fired two shots at him cry-
ing out
"Come up here and you'll see what's the
matter."
The engineer told the robber to let up on
shooting and the train was ordered to pull

appearing in the undergrowth on the west
side of the track. The train pulled down
to utroneiie and swapped time witn me

tion engine was sent back to the scene of
the robbery with detectives and an armed
posse.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Railroad Engineer Cone Near Being
Lynched By a Mob.
Chicago September 25. Seth Towmbley
engineer of the freight engine which last
evening crashed into the suburban train at
Eighty-seventh street and Vincennes ave-
nue had a narrow escape from being
lynched. In five minutes after his ar
rest reports of the Collision had
spread. The wreck was surrounded
by a great crowd from neighboring
stations. Nearly all the killed and wounded
were residents of the vicinity and the in-
dignation aroused at the sight of the
scalded corpses soon reached the heat of
mot) lury. A cry went up irom tne crowu :
"Where's the engineer?"
"There he goes.' replied the frightened
white-faced brakeman who was trembling
in the clutch of half a dozen strong hands.
The figure of a running man could be seen
up the track in the dusk and "There he
goes; lynch him!" rang out from the crowd.
A hundred made chase after the fugitive.
He had the start of 500 feet and when he
turned around and ' saw the
rush he doubled his exertions.
The pursuers were fleet also
and they might have overtaken him but a
few blocks up he plunged from the track
into a side street and disappeared into the
gathering darkness. '
The coroner this morning sent a telegram
to the captain of police of Englewood dis-
trict to arrest Engineer Towmbly of the
freight train which telescoped the Rock
Island accommodation train last night.
and he was locked in the station house at
Englewood. The police say he has the ap-
pearance of just recovering from the influ-
ence of liouor. Towmbly has the reputa-
tion of being a reckless and fast runner
and it is alleged by railroad officials that
he is a steady drinker. Immediately
after the accident a great num
ber of neoole insisted Towmblv was
drunk but the reporters found people who
assured tliem tlie engineer was penectiy
sober. Towmbly gave the following ac-
count of the disaster:
"We left Auburn junction and were pro-
ceeding on orders. I did not notice the
train standing at South Englewood until it
was too late to avert the trouble. I did not
see a ied light hanging from the semaphore
arm. I reversed my engine and put on the
vacuum brakes but it was too late and
after bidding my fireman jump for his life
jumped myself.
Persons who saw him before he left the
city say he had been drinking all the af
ternoon aim mat wnen ins train was uiuue
up he was so stupefied from liquor he had
to be picked up and lifted into the cub.
He is a son of the master mechanic of the
road.
Gus Mulcahy a messenger boy who was
in the wreckea car died ol his injuries this
morning. L. A. Cloche tiremiin on me
freight train is detained as a witness.
Both he and Towmblv were somewhat in
jured. Both have made statements in re-
gard to the matter and agree in asserting
that the blame for the accident
is due to the neglect of
the conductor of the passenger train.
They say that no warning lights were
placed at the end of the rear car and they
did not know of the danger until they were
within three car lengths of the passenger
train. They were behind time and were
behind an hour when the accident occur-
red. Each asserts he stuck to the engine
and crawled out ofthe debris after the ac
cident. Towmbly declares that he was not
drunk and that he had not drank any-
thing for a long time.

Trouble With the Negroes.
Chicago September 25. A special dis-
patch from Coffeeville Miss. says: The
white people all along the Una lot the Illi-
nois Central railroad and in every county
in the Delta are actively engaged in pre-
paring themselves for an anticipated gen-
eral attack to be made by the
blacks. Conservative men with whom
interviews have bten had are seriously
alarmed at the outlook. Rifles are being
bought besides. At Water Valley ten
miles north of here 200 men are organized
for protection. At Grenada ten miles
south of here it is reported negro cotton
hands have organized and will demand an
increase in their wages else they will guard
the fields with shotguns and prevent others
from gathering the crop. The present
price for picking is 50 cents per hundred.
ON A HOT TRAIL
TWO Or THE CBOWLBt TBAIN
BOBBERS TRACKED INTO
JOHNSON COUNTS'.
Some of the Money and a Pistol Foand
Where They Had Drooped It De-
tails of the Robbery.
Special to the Statesman.
Fobt Wobth September 25. SherifTRich-
ardson and posse returned to-night from
Johnson county where they trailed two of
the train robbers. They were met by Mar-
shal Keith of Cleburne and posse and all
took up a hot trail from the railroad truck.
Near the track some seventy odd dollars
were picked up. The trail led west fer
three miles and then turned south. On a
slough the officers found the seals which
had been broken off two sacks of silver and
a brand new pistol which had been
left by the robbers. After tracking the
robbers for eighteen miles the officers came
to two roads and took the south road where
they lost the trail.
The Express company has 6ffered a re-
ward $300 for each robber and the Santa
Fe railroad $1000 for each robber. The
officers of neighboring counties have been
notified and are on the lookout.
Two men were arrested this afternoon late
for' passing Mexican money but they
proved that they were passengers on the
tram and hud picked the money up and
were released. Superintendent Chrisleson
of the Wells Fargo company will be here
to-morrow. Cupt. Mc. Murray of the
rangers has ordered his company fiom
the west and will scout the country to-
morrow. ' The express efficlals refuse to
tell how much the robbers got but admit
it was over $10000. Thefollowing are the
details of the robbery: .
Just this side of Crowley a station on the
Santa Fe railway twelve miles south of
nere tne northuound train due tere at
10:20 wus robbed by three train robbers
and probably a large booty obtained. From
two passengers on the tram niaeger details
are obtained.
- About one and a half miles this side of
Crowley the robbers took possession of the
en nine and express ran it half a mile or
more up the track robbed the express car
and lei t going on in a southeasterly direc-
tion. It was currently reported on the
train that the Wells Fargo Express com-
pany running on this litre had $00000
when it left Gulveston yesterday morning
and as the robbers left three bags of silver
on the ground after the robbery it
is presumed they got enough in notes
to satisfy them. The passengers and
mail were not molested and after a delay
of an hour or more the train arrived here.
From Mail Agent Glenn the following is
obtained : At Crowley several men got on
the train armed with Winchesters. Two
or three mn got on the tender and these
the engineer und fireman thinking they
were trumps and discovering their presence
just after leaving Crowley tried to drive oil
with snoveis etc. when the roDuers cov-
ered them with revolvers and directed them
to stop the train at the first mile post.
"We do not know where thut is 'said the
engineer.
"VVe will show vou." said one of the rob
bers and they did. The robbers had their
horses hitched there and after taking what
they wished train the express sale winch
they forced open they left.
There were several sacks of silver they re-
iuseu to tuKe. They toid tne man anu
buggage men to keep quiet and they would
hot be disturbed and they both obeyed
orders nnd thus though there was a
large registry the mail was not disturbed.

There are other contractors here on the

opinion among both local and visiting con
tractors that the amount appropriated tor

to complete the work - under

cause there was not a single bid received

i he truin robbery on the Gulf. Colorado

night excited a good deal ol comment in
this city. The Wells Fargo officials here
say: "There was no money sent from
here to amount to anything but that which
was delivered at stations along the
route Deiore the train reached
Crowley. There is no reason
to believe any person In ;thls city has lost
more than the company can pay back. The
amount can't possibly be over 11.000 or
$2000. At this time we have no assurances
that more was taken. The officials were
either unable or unwilling to give any iu-
luriuaiiuii.concerning tne romjery.

MORE PRIZE FIGHTING.
t
Another Prize Contest Involving Little
Glory and Leas Money to the
Principals.'
San Francisco September 25 The - prir.t
fight is the talk of the town to-day. The
result ofthe closing rounds was as follows:
In the thirtieth round Warren had again
the Englishman hugging him helplessly
but a call of time saved him. In the
succeeding rounds Murphy freshened up
and for thirty-eight rounds the men con-
tinued a dull and uninteresting contest ex
changing light blows. Murphy four times
tried by a pivotal blow to knock Warren
out but failod.
From the fifty-eighth to the sixty-eighth
round not a blow wus struck. The men
were in good condition and Referee Cook
left the stage declaring that the club washed
its hundsof the whole affair. President Fulda
stopped the speeches of the two principals
and ordered the stage cleared as the referee
had declared the match unsatisfactory.
The men having failed to comply with
their articles of agreement the club direct-
ors will probably refuse to award the men
any pan of the purse.
