FIVE ROBBERS IN THE BUNCH
TIicrAre Said to Have Taken 520,000,
Though the Company PntH the
Loss Much JLovrer Ite
tvards Offered.
DAVENPORT, la., Nov. 22. Train No.
11, westhound, on the Rock Island Rail
road, was held up at 11:30 last night,
three miles west ot fhis city, by masked
bandits, who cut off the express and bag
gage cars, forced the engineer to run
two miles up the track, blew up the
through express safewith dynamite, and
escaped with their booty. The amount
obtained from the express car- is not
known, but as the train generally car
ries a heavy express shipment, it Is pre
sumed the sum was considerable.
The officers In charge of the blood
hounds reported tonight that they had
succeeded In picking up a trail, and were
following the supposed tracks of the Ave
Rock Island train robbers. The hounds
took the scent now being followed near
the scene of the robbery. They went to a
farm from which the wagon was stolen,
and then traced the rig to Jamestown.
The dogs were then hauled to Blue Grass,
where they again took the scent and were
working north at last- report.
It has been found that no dynamite has
been' sold in Davenport. It is also de
nied that a large amount of money was
put on beard the train at Davenport
The Rock Island train which was due
to leave here at 10:30 P. M., was 33 min
utes late, and pulled out for the West
after a short halt. It had Just passed
through the suburban village of Rocking
ham, on the outskirts of the Rock Island
Railroad yards, when the engineer saw
a red lantern on the track and brought
hl3 train to a stop. As he slowed down,
two robbers sprang on the footboard of
the engine and covered him and the fire
man with revolvers. While the engine
crew was thus kept quiet, others of the
gang menaced the crew and passengers
in the coaches. One of the band un
coupled the express and baggage cars
from the rest of the train and then the
engineer was ordered to pull out.
Two miles west of Rockingham there Is
a 3trctch of heavily timbered country, .and
In this the engineer was ordered to, stop.
The bandits blew up the through safe
with dynamite, using an extremely' heavy
charge, the noise' of the explosion beln;
heard in Davenport. After wrecking the
safe, the robbers mounted the engine and
ran down the track. They left the loco
motive at a small station, called Buffalo,
and escaped in the darkness.
Beyond these meager details, which
were brought to the city by the flagman
of the express train, who ran back as
soon as the train was stopped, and Im
pressed a switch engine to bring him to
the city, the facts of the hold-up are
not definitely known. " The train held up
was the fast westbound express which
left Chicago at C:05 last night, and which
runs through' to Fort Worth, Tex., via
St Joseph and Kansas City. The name
of the engineer Is Shacffer, and the con
ductor is Trumbull. Both are with their
.train, which proceeded west after a delay
of two hours.
The explosion of the dynamite used in
blowing up the safe badly damaged the
car, but so far as kndwn, no one was in
jured. OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF ROBBERY
President of Railroad Says Large
Regard WH1 Be Offered.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22. General Manager
A. C. Goodnow, of the Rock Island Road,
today gave out the following official
statement of the Davenport hold-up:
"Our No. 11. leaving Chicago at 6:03
P. M., yesterday, for Fort Worth. Tex.,
was stopped. about a mile and a half west
of West Davenport by a man displaying
,a red light. Five men compelled the en
gineer and fireman to cut off the mail
and baggage cars and run them one mile
west. The engineer and fireman were
then compelled, at the point of revolv
ers, to go to the express car and open
the door. The baggageman and express
man were taken from the cars to the
engine and three men wore left to guard
them and the engineer and fireman,
while two blew open the Chicago safe
of the United States Express Company,
In the express car. All the contents of
the safe were taken, the roof and side
of the baggage and express car was
badly.damaged. The train was detained
two hours and ten minutes.
"The men engaged in this robbery all
wore masks, dark clothes and slouch
hats, and kept in the dark as much as
possible, so, from that cause and owing
to the excitement, our employes are un
able to give ,any description of the men,
except that one was a very tall, raw
boned man, possibly six feet tall, and
the others medium-sized men, rather
heavy, and one was a short, heavy man.
"The police at Davenport and Rock
Island were promptly notified, and were
quickly on the ground. The supposition
Is that the robbers left the road and
went to the North. The Sheriff at Rock
Island, with bloodhounds, was promptly
on the scene, and every -effort is being
made to trace the robbers.
"The robbery occurred Just outside the
city limits of Davenport, and is the bold
est affair that has ever taken place on
this company's lines. There was no one
injured. The railroad and express1 com
panies will offer, on account of this rob
bery and delay to the United States mail,
a very large reward for the apprehension
and conviction of the robbers." '
At the offices of the United States Ex
press Company It Is said the loss to ,the
i company will not exceed $1K0, and con
sists of four packags, valued at 550 each,
a $50 package originating at Rock Island,
one package the value of which cannot
be accurately determined, and a quantity
of Rock Island Railway tickets. The
question of offering a reward for the ap
prehension of the robbers has been taken
under advisement until the officials of
the company in the East can - be con
sulted. HOW MUCH WAS STOLEX.
ISxpress Compnny Says K3000
to
$4000; Others Say More.
DES MOINES, la., Nov. 22. Local of
ficers of the United States Express Com
pany state that the loss In the hold-up
of the westbound passenger train on the
Rock Island system, near Davenport, at
midnight, will not exceed $3000 or $4000.
On the other hand, it is stated at the
local railroad offices here today that the
loss must have amounted to $10,000 or
$20,000, as the train carried a large quanti-
ty of money and jewelry for Omaha and .'
Denver.' The safe was a screw comblna- i
tlon, with time lock, one of the best the
company has, and it is thought it con
tained an unusually large quantity of
valuables.

STUDENTS HAVE BIG FIGHT
Rotv Started When Sopfcomore Threvr
Skunk In Frenhman Dnnce.
IOWA CITY, la.. Nov. 22. The worst
cJcijS scrap in the history of the State Uni
versity raged all last night.. Several
students were injured, property loss ap
proximating $700 resulted and the local
police were routed.
The fight started at the frcshirfcn dance
in the Imperial Hotel d'nlng-room when a
sophomore threw a skunk through the
window. Others bombarded the hotel
with eggs, broke much plate glass and
demolished costly brick-a-brac. The fresh
men retaliated and a sanguinary struggle
commenced. Policemen clubbed J. H.
King and W. M. Kallcr, medical students,
inflicting severe wounds, when other med
ical students assaulted and routed the
officer?. Numerous revolver shots were
fired, but none Is believed to have taken
effect. Although several students . were
hurt their injuries consisted simply of
contusions. Dean Curran has ordered an
Investigation. -

FULLER FOUND DEAD
Body of (V! issing (Vlan Discov
ered on Portland Heights.
FACTS POINT. -TO. SUICIDE
Boys, Playing: a Game, Happen on
Ills Remains, With Bullet Wonnd
in Xllgrht Temple and Revolver
by His Side.
In a hollow along the Canyon road
where it enters the city at Portland.
Heights, the body of J. W. Fuller, the
well-known business man who disappeared
October 27, was found yesterday afternoon
it J
discovered his remalre.
shortly after 2 o'clock by some boys who
were playing in the brush. The body was
so badly decomposed that it is nearjy un
recognizable, and the Indications are that
Mr. Fuller took his" life by sending a
bullet Into his right temple. A rusty re
volver, with four loaded' cartridges in it
and one empty shell, was found on the
ground. He was identified by his general
appearance, his clothes, and papers and
photographs found In his clothing. Cor
oner FInley will hold an inquest Into the
case this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
.The two boyn who found the body are
Walter DeCroat and Thomas Mildren.
With them were: Richard Williams. 235
Fourteenth street; Eugene West. 510 Co
lumbia street; Earl Partlow, 513 Jefferson
street, and Norman Nash. 204 Sixteenth
street. The boys were playing a game
known as strap-Daniel, in which the
finding of a stick, which is thrown some
distance, in the principal feature. De
Groat was Gearchlng for the stick In the
grass and brush, when he suddenly came
upon Fuller's body, and his cry of alarm
brought the Mildren boy to his side. The
game was stopped, and after a consulta
tion the boys went down town and called
at The Orcgonlan .office, and told of the
circumstance. Coroner FInley was In
terviewed, and the little party, accompan
ied by an Oregpnlan reporter, went to the
lonely 3pot on the Canyon road where the
body lay. The Coroner had been on so
many fruitless journeyi? after some one
supposed to be Fuller, that he at first said
he would look at the body before sending
up a wagon to Portland Heights.
-After a partial Investigation, there was
no doubt in the Coroner's mind that the
body was that of Fuller, and he gave di
rections for its' removal to his undertak
ing rooms. Here it was seen that the
body was dressed In gray striped trousers,
with dark coat and vest, black Dunlap
hat. and new boots. The leather band
Inside the hat is stamped "J. W. F." A
matchbox, with two matches In It, Is also
stamped with his initials. His purse con
tained $16, a $10-gold piece and $G in silver.
His watch is a Bllver one, of the "Yankee"
type made in New York, and the hands
stopped at 7:40 o'clock. His pocketbook
contained business papers connected with
the concern he represented, the Towle
Syrup Company, St. Paul. Minn.,, and also
several photographs of his wife.
The news that her husband's body haJ
been found' was broken as gently as pos
sible to Mrs. Fuller, and last night she
was prostrated. The Coroner's researches
show that Fuller, a few days before he
disappeared, bought a revolver ot a cheap
make, in a Fourth-street store.
Because of too devoted' attention. to the
cares of business. Mr. Fuller suffered from
nervous prostration in a very severe and
depressing form for about two years, and
during the past year he went to Cali
fornia for medical treatment in the sani
tarium at San Francisco. He suffered
greatly from insomnia, and was frequent
ly heard, to say that he had no hope of
recovery. Some time previous to his dis
appearance, he was In the habit of taking
solitary walks In the hills back of Port
land Heights. On the morning of October
27, he told Mrs, Fuller that he was going
to a riding club for a saddle horse, and
expected to return by lunch time. A
friend met Fuller on Fourteenth street
and chatted with him genially on trivial
matters, and this is probably the last time
any of Bis Iriends saw him alive. When
If
'It became apparent that Fuller had dis
appeared, Mrs. Fuller and her friends did
not stint time nor money in searching for
him, and the searchers were particularly
Instructed to search among the brush at
the back of Portland Heights. Private and
city detectives joined in the search and
made a number of fruitless Journeys after
what turned out to be Incorrect clews. It
Is believed that the boy or boys who dis
covered the body yesterday will be paid
the reward offered, $500.
FREIGHT RATES TO GO' UP
AH Rednced Schedule to Be Taken
Out December 15.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Arrangements were
comploted here today by the representa
tives of Western lines for the withdrawal
of ovct 1100 reduced tariff schedules which
have been filed since the United States
Courts issued injunctions preventing rail
roads from giving preferential rates. It
has been agreed to restore all rates, ex
cept those on packing-house products and
cattle, on December 15, and to maintain
the restored tariffs absolutely.
This action is probably the most im
portant from a traffic standpoint, taken
by the Western roads In ycarsj and will
have a marked effect on the revenues of
1S03, provided it develops that the traffic
can be maintained. Traffic men engaged
In the work of preparing to take out the
reduced . tariffs stated tonight that the
restoration of rates to the basis of Jan
uary 1, 1S02, would add fully 25 per cent
to the revenues received in commodities
affected, and fully 10 per cent to the ag
gregate gross revenues received by West
ern roads.
