TEE B1HDITS ABE BADLY TOOLED.They Op em Two Hall Can by Mlatakaud Than Take to the HUb, F«ar-taer That a Raacue Party Wo* ontko Way.Chicago, Aug. 1.—The Baltimore and

Ohio passenger train from the eastwhich was doe to arrive in the GrandCentral depot, Chicago, at 9 o'clocklast night was held up by five maskedmen at 8 o'clock between Bdgemoreand Grand Calumet Heights, Ind., 31miles out from Chicago.

The train was running at a highrate of speed as it passed CalumetHeights, and immediately after pass-ing out of eight of the station EngineerJ. W. Collins saw directly in front ofhis engine a large fire on which somerails had been placed. He sloweddown, and as he did so three men,wearing masks over their faces, jump-ed into the cab and covered Collinsand his fireman, James Whipple, withrevolvers.

Just before' climbing into the cab thethree,men commenced to fire their re-volvers in order to frighten away allassistance. The shots produced theliveliest kind of a panic in the sleepingcars, where the passengers made everyeffort to hide their money and valua-bles before the robbers could get atthem. No attempt was made, however,to rob any of the passengers. Thefusillade had the effect of makingthem keep Inside the cars.

Robbers Mount Locomotive.After mounting the cab of the en-

gine the robbers, covering the engineerand fireman with their revolvers, madethem step down and go back the lengthof two cars. They ordered the men touncouple the first two cars, which wasdone. They then hustled the twotrainmen back into the cab and, stillkeeping the engineer covered with re-volvers, directed him to pull up somedistance from the rest of the train.

Collins ran up 200 feet and was thendirected to stop. He did so, and whileone of the men remained to guardhim the others jumped off and, hurl-ing dynamite at the door of the carwhich they judged to be the expresscar, burst open the door. Hastilyclimbing In to get at the safe, theywere astonished to find that they hadbroken into a mail car.

They threatened the engineer withdeath for not telling them that thecars which he had uncoupled were notexpress cars and ordered him to re-turn at once and uncouple the next carbehind the baggage cars. Climbing oncemore into his cab, Collins backed hisengine down, coupled on to the thirdcar, which the fireman was made touncouple at the rear end, and, still withthe muzzle of the revolver at his head,Collins was ordered to run down thetrack as before. He drew away fromthe balance of the train about the samedistance as on the first occasion, andthe robbers, still leaving him under thecharge of one of their number, madefor this car.

A. Second Disappointment.When they reached it, they found to

their great wrath that they had at-tached another mail car and that It con-tained no money. The train had beendelayed now fully 30 minutes, and, fear-ing that if they delayed it any longerhelp would be coming to the train crew,the robbers gave up their attempt torob the train and, Jumping down, raninto a thicket of scrub oaks at the sideof the track and disappeared.

The train was hastily made up andcame on to Chicago, arriving here some-what late, a stop having been made atWhiting to report the robbery. Officerswere at once sent after the robbers, andwithin an hour after the robbery alarge posse was on their trail.

It is estimated that $50,000 was stor-ed in the express car, and it is believedthe robbers knew of the large amountof money and valuables aboard.
