ERIE, Pa.. July . Following up
n trail of blood leading Into a forest
flo miles from hero where twelve
masked men held up a fast mall train
of the Philadelphia and Brio Kail-
road In tho boldest robbery that the
east has seen In years. Fosses today
are in hot pursuit of tho bandits and
a battle is hourly expected.
Tho red trail left by tho fleeing
hold-ups Is believed to be due to a
bullet from tho revolver of Conduc
tor II. I). Iloener, who, before ho was
foiled by u stone., npjptlod his pistol
into the thiolug 'fond, "bthor vic
tims of tho robbers were Carl An
derson, a salesman of Renova, Pa.,
who was thrown down a 300 foot
embankment and probably will die;
William J. Hart, express messenger,
who was Bhot in the lee. C. 11.
Block, mall clerk, also wounded in
tho leg. C F. BemU, a brakeman,
shot In tho arm, and Abo Carey, en
gineer back hurt by a heavy missile
during tho affray.
Tho pluck of Conductor Hooney,
who braved death in tho fight and
again In summoning aid, Is highly
commended today. Ills cool daring
probably saved the day, as not a
single article Is missing from tho ex
press car, which tho robbers parti
cularly assailed. In tho hospital to
day Brakeman Bemls told of tho at
tempt by the bandits.
"I heard a crash," ho Bald, "and
ran to the front end of tho coach. On
reaching tho outside a man In a
black mask dealt mo a blow on tho
tomplo and another shot mo In tho
arm. As I fell they kicked mo from
tho platform. I heard women scream
ing and male passengers shouting.
Then I heard Itooney cry out and
thought they had killed him.
"The robbers kept up a steady
fire. Thoy remained by tho cars on-
ly a few minutes, then started on a
run for the forest, firing as thoy fled.
Itoouoy emptied his revolver at tho
bandits, one of u horn hit him with a
stone, Hooney dropped, but 'later
rovlved, crawled down tho tracks and
telephoned for aid."
Although officials of tho railroad
deny that tho twelve bandits got any
booty, it Is persistently reported that
tho robbeis got about fLT,000.
