The run la made from Chloago to Council Bluffs on a echedule exceeding a mile a minute. It hit been 'the general custom to carry only two cars, one containing exprvss matter and the othor mall. Train No. 9 left the Northweniern uiv. " o'clock with Pan White as engineer. No Htops were ncheduled between De- kalb, at whloh place the train was due Khnrtly after 11 o'olock. At Maple Park, 50 miles from Chicago, It was discovered that tower "W" at Elburne was either out of order or was not giv ing the right signal. Dan White cloned the throttle quickly and brought the train to a standstill. The truln was midway between El burne and Maple Park. White had hardly brought his engine to standstill when two masked men Jumped onto the Ftep and pointed gtins at him and the fireman. "Throw up your hands," they shout- did so. The two KU. I lw robbers detached the engine from the rest of the, txaln and White was told to pull out. The robbers ordered him to take his engine two miles up the trark. Then he attempted to make a fight and recapture his engine. He strudRled manfully, but finally one of the robbers shot at him but failed to hit him. In the meantime four other men bad attacked the conduotor and brakeman. Numerous shots were fired to Intimi date them. The oonduotor was unable to make any resistance, as he was told he would be killed. One of the brakemsn managed to es cape In the darkness and raced to El btirne, where he managed to send the alarm to the train despatcher In Chi cago. The robbers, after overpowering the conductor, ordered the express messen ger, Frank Hobswi, to admit ihtm to the car. "You open that car," one of the rob bers shouted, 'o'r we'll blow It up." Back from the car came a shout: You try to force It open and I'll shoot the first man who shows his head." A volley of shots was the reply, and sfter sevenvl bullets had whistled past his head, the express messenger opened th car. They put revolvers to his head and compelled him to give up the keys to the local safe.
