QUI ROBBER! $275,000 Taken from an Express Train. , A HAND TO BAND FIGHT By a Sheriff's Posse Robbers. and the McKINLEY SPEARS TRUE WORDS. Senator Mitchell Speaks for Free Silver. Train Held Up. Rkniiali.vili.e. JCnd.. Sept. 12. The Lake Shore fc Michigan South ern passenger train, No. l4,was held up by a gang of robbers this morning, at Kesler Hiding, Ave miles west of here. The west switch was thrown, showing a red light, and when Engineer Knapp stopped his engine, he was flred upon and bit lu the shouldol by a bullet from a Winchester rifle. The robbers then covered the train crew with rifles, and after blowing open the door of the ex press car, three of them entered, and covering the express messengers, pro ceeded coolly to blow open the safe. It took five cartridges to accomplish this. The robbers, after taking what they wanted, departed. The train was held about an hour. Engineer Knapp will recover. The amount taken from the safe is not known. Engineer Knapp brought his train here but was unable to go farther on account of his wound. It is believed he will recover. There were two safes in the express car, one for through mat ter, to which the messenger had no key, and one for local matter. The robbers compelled the messenger to open all the safes, from which several thousand dollars In currency were taken,'tum blew open the bigsafe with dynamite. In the outer department there was a quarter of a million dollars In gold, with which tbe robbers loaded them selves, not stopping to open the inner compartment, in whloh there was a lot mora money. In their baste to get away tbe robbers also overlooked two gold bags. Tbe train Is tbe heaviest for express on the road, and frequently carries half a million dollars. It la believed this fact was known to tbe robbers. When they left the train they went In a southerly direction. The point at which the robbery oc curred, Is In a deep cut In the woods, but all tbe country around is thickly populated, with little timber, and it la believed to be impossible for tbe robbers to escape. Posses are out scouring the country In search of them. General Superintendent Crosby of tbe United Btates express company de clared the total loss to be less than twenty tnousand dollar. He says the robbers thought they were carrying away bank notes, but secured mostly paper, worthless to them, and that Iihey overlooked f 16,000 worth o! gold bullion. He emphatically denied tbe report inai iiop ww -says only five or six men are coacernrd In tbe robbery.
