THE sosssss SURPRISED.

Santa. Fe Train Loaded With Guards In
Anticipation of the Assault—One or
More of the Thieves Supposed to
. Be Dead—Engineer Shot.

GORIN, Mo, Sept. iii—The Colorado
and Utah express train on the Santa Fe
road was held up by robbers at 8:30 o’clock
this morning. The railroad and express
officials had a warning of the plan to at-
tack the train, and the train robbers were
met by a volley of buckshot and bullets.
It is believed that at least two of the ban-
dits lie dead in the woods near where the
train was stopped. Two others who rode
for their rendezvous, 21 miles away, were"
wounded. Before the guard on the cars
fired upon the thieves the latter shot
Prescott, the engineers of the train, with-
out any warning. His wound, it is be-
lieved, will not prove fatal.

The raid was planned three weeks ago,
but was not put into execution till this
morning. When the train left Chicago
at 5 o’clock last evening, several railroad
and express detectives, all armed, were
taken on board. Chief Detective J. J.
Kenny of the Santa Fe, with G. C. Monty
gomery, his assistant, boarded the, train
at Joliet. At Streator they were joined
by two more men, who have been patrol-
ling the line for 20 days. J. A. Matthews,
who has been acting as a detective for the
last tWO weeks, was taken on at Gales-
burg. He brought news that the robbers
met' early in the day and decided to‘ leave
their hiding place near Memphis at 8:30
o’clock last night to be ready for the Col-
orado and Utah express. They expected
to make a haul of at least $50,000, the
Monday run being always much heavier
than any other day of the week.

Ready For Business.

When the train reached Fort Madison,
1a., soon after midnight, Division Super-
intendent Stockton of the Wells-Fargo
Express company got into the treasure
car. He carried a rifle that had formerly
belonged to Bill Dalton. With him were
four men. Their firearms were in the car,
where they had been placed several days
ago.

It was first proposed to ambuscade the
force behind a barricade of trunks and
boxes in the express car and ' allow the
robbers to enter. The messenger was to'
throw up his hands and kneel down to
open the safe. He was to fall on the floor
as a signal for the detectives to fire on the
bandits. Two men were to be stationed
on the engine to protect the trainmen, and
another was to guard the rear. This plan,
however, was finally abandoned. Two de-
tectives, Kinney and Montgomery, board-
ed the engine. Superintendent Stockton
and two of his men remained in the ex-
press car, but it Was in the forward end of
the smoking car that the larger number
of the guard was placed. A partition and
door inclesed half a dozen seats and shut
ofl the rest of the car from them. Twelve
men were in this inelesure. Each had a
gun loaded with buckshot.

When Sherifi‘ Matthews of Scotland
boarded the train, all arrangements for,
the encounter were completed. Precau-
tions were taken not to endanger the life
of Matthews, the detective, who, if possi-
ble, was to flag the train. It had been ar-
ranged that, if he did the flagging, one
torpedo was to precede the swinging of -
the lanterns. If it was one of the robbers,
there would be two torpedoes. '

All Sought Safe Places.

As the train drew near the place where
the attack was expected the Pullman car
conductors and porter sought places of
safety, and even the trainmen did not ex-
pose themselves unnecessarily. In the lit-
tle compartment filled with armed , men
thelights were out, and the windows were
up. In each seat there were two men sit»

tin'g sideways. the muzmes or their guns
protruding ever the sills. Behind them
stood others, with guns at half cock rest-
ing on their arms.

A mile beyond Gorin the expected sig-
nal was sounded in the explosion of one
torpedo. A sharp whistle from the loco-
motive gave notice that the engineer had
heard it,

saw a red light swinging. The airbrakes
were applied, and within 20 secondsthe
train was at a standstill. From the‘dense
undergrowth north of’thc track four men
advanced toward the train. The face of
each was hidden by a black mask. One of
the men ran to the engine; He carried a
rifle, and when within 10 feet of the tens

at Prescott, the engineer, and as he shout-
ed, “Hold up your hands!” pulled the
trigger. Prescott fell to the floor of 'his
cab with a bullet in his right breast.
Kinney jumped to the top of the tender
and fired almost into the face of the
masked robber, who, though injured,
managed to move back into the shade of
the woods. The firing about the engine
was followed almost immediately by a
volley from the smoking car.
Pursuingflw Robbers. _

The robbers did not return the fire un-
til they had fallen back into the woods.
Then they fired only two shots. An in-
cessant firinglwas kept up from the car
windOWs, and some of the detectives left
the train and attempted to discover the
course taken by the flecingbandits. Their
horses Were hidden not more than 100
yards away, and when the posse from the
train reached the spot they saw one horse
galloping north. ' '

Awell directed shot brought it low, but
there was no rider on its back. The place
where the horses were tied was seen found,
and cut hitching straps showed that one
man at least had life enough left to make
his escape. Sheriff Saling took the saddle,
blanket and, bridle from.-the dead gray
and says by their aid he will have no trou-
ble in identifying the oWner. The search
for dead‘and wounded Was postponed un-
til daylight, but the pursuit of the one or
morewho escaped wasstarted within ten
minutes after the shooting ended. The
sheriff secured horses here, and with half
a dozenmen started north. They know
the men, and are confident that they will
have them‘iu custody soon.

A Thrilling Moment. -

It is not likely the passengers in the
dozing in the chair car and a half dozen
or so sleepless ones in the‘sleeper, will ever
forget the experience. " With the first shot
every man near a/win'dow opened it and
looked out. Within the second he drew
his head in, and when the'volleying com-
menced he had no time to close the Win-
dow, but just dropped fiat down on the
floon of the car. ’

Then the cry. “Train robbers!” went

through the train, and women went down
on their knees, lifted their hands and
sorea‘med vigorously and persistently.

It was absolutely impossible to Walk
through the cars Without scrambling over
the seats. When .the excitement was at
its height, the brakeman put his head in
the door and shouted: “Keep your heads
down, ladies and gentlemen! Train rob-
bers are outside!” - '

There are no telegraph lines up in the
country where the gang has been in bid-
ing, and it was thought‘ne’ws of the hold-
up would not penetrate in that region un-
til after the participants in the affair had
time to cover their tracks.

.A “Tip" Re'celved'Weeks Ago.

It is nearly three weeks since the Santa

Fe and the Wells-Fargo ofi'icials received

the tip that the raid was contemplated.

Since then the express car, whether in-
habited by Detective Kinney’s men or not.'
has been a regular arsenal. Every night
\at least half a dozen secret service men
have climbed aboard at different points
along the line east of Fort Madison and
scattered themselves in the day, reclining
chair and smoking coaches. Soon after
that point was reached they would work
forward into the smoker, not a man ex-
.changing a word with the other, all total
strangers as far as outward appearances,
went, and before Gorin was passed half of
them had disappearedinto the express car.
This was merely preCauticnary. Detective
Kinney’s spy gave him 24 hours’ notice of
the two premeditated raids spoiled by
rain, and then the full force was on hand.‘
But the railroad and express people were
taking no chances. When the ' danger
point . had been passed, the men would
drop off at different stations, working
back east along the road in thedaytime
and repeating the operation the next night.’

No more than one man ever climbed on-
to the train from the same toWn, how-
ever. The night the robbers failed to keep
their appointments the whole party alight~
ed at Hurdland, took their armory from
the express car and returned to Fort Mad-
ison, Galesburg, Chillicothc and Streator.
Train No. 5 of the Atchison, fopeia and
Santa Fe railway is what is known :5 the
“Colorado and Utah limited.” It leaves
the-Polk street station in Chicago daily at
5 p. m. and is due to arrive in Kansas
Cityat 9 o‘clock the next morning. The
Santa Fe runs almost due southwest be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City and
crosses the Mississippi river at Fort Mad-
ison. Entering the state of Missouri 250
miles distant from Chicago, the road runs
for some miles through a rough country,
the many small streams which have their
headwaters in southwestern Iowa break-
ing it up into hills and valleys, some sec-
tions being densely wooded.

. The brakes of the Mississippi river are
only a few miles to the east. This section
during the civil war was overrun with
bushwhackers, who frequently carried
terror into the little towns by their fre-
quent raids across the border. It is a fit-
ting plaee for bandits to do their work, as
hiding places are easy of access. The in-

sturdy, .honest, agricultural class, who
have no sympathy with crime or crim-
inals.

lipid at Saratoga.

' set: Loudly Cheered—Personnel of

pointed—Other Gossip.

. SARATOGA, Sept. 10.-—-What is known
as typical Republican weather was in evi-
dence in Saratoga today.

Despite the late hour at which most of
the politicians retired last night, every-
body was up bright and early and pre-
pared for hard work. The cxcitin g canvass
of last night for lieutenant governor was
increased rather than abated, and as soon
as breakfast was ever at the various hotels
the crowds began surgin from one head-
quarters te another. . he Mecca of the
great majority was room 7 in the United
States hotel, where Mr. Thomas C. Platt
received the leaders of delegations and
talked pleasantly if not always to their
satisfaction. Many years have passed
since there has been as large a gathering
at a state convention, and the crowds that
thron ed the streets and hotel corridors
excee, ed any ever seen at a state gather-
ing of Republicans.

For lieutenant governor the fight seems
to‘lay between Mr. Saxton, Mr: Hendricks
and Mr. Wadsworth, with no very great
advantages for either man. Mr. Aldridge
had very excellent chances up to yester-
day, but the interference of the American
Protective association in the affair and
their declaration that he'will be opposed
by them has taken a good deal of life out
0 his campaign.

Milhollandites Out In Force.

The Milhclland people were very much
in evidence both on the streets and in the
convention hall, and the blue badges and
blue banner decorations against “ma-
chine” rule haveformed the centers of in-
terest along Broadway. The delegation
numbers at least 400, and their gay band
from the New York protectory has made
the welkin ring. Mr. Milholland will go
before the committee on credentials and
will demand the seating of the entire New
York delegation headed by him.

At 11 o’clock the delegates began to
drift toward the convention hall, and by
noon every seat in the vast auditorium,
seating 5, 000 people, was taken, and many
were standing. The hall was adorned
with the national colors, and suspended
over the stage was a portrait of Abraham
Lincoln. Beneath it was a great easel, hear-
ing an immense floral plaque, the gift of
President Mitchell of the village, and
bearing the inscription, ”Saratogians
Greet You With a Hearty Welcome.”

There was a large percentage of the fair
sex present in the audience, and upon the
stage were the wives of several delegates.

There was also present a delegation of
women representing the Woman’s Suf-
frage league, prominent among them be-
ing Miss Susan B. Anthony, who was up-
plauded as she took her seat.

Just as the convention was about to
assemble it was announced that the Kings
county delegates had met and decided,
after a stormy session, to cast its vote for
governor for Woodford; for lieutenant
governor, Saxton, and for judge of the
court of appeals, Jesse Johnson. Queens
and Suffolk decided to vote for 'Mcrton,
Saxten and Johnson.

During the assemblage there was talk
of a deal by which Wadsworth would be
withdrawn in favor of Aldridge, in order
to defeat, if possible, the chances of Mr.‘
Saxton, but despite this Saxton is hourly
gaining. ‘;

‘ Fixing the Platform.

The platform, as presented to some
members of the committee and as drawn
by Serene Payne, is being carved and
slashed out of all semblance to the original.

At 12 o'clock the vast hall had become
filled and crowds still streaming in at ev-
ery door. The cor-gross of ladies were in
attendance with their favorite badges. As
Mr. Platt entered the hall the crowds rose

and shouting wildly.

The Catholic Protectory band of New
York disc'oursed patriotic music, while the
Milholland crewd, occupying one whole
side of the balcony, made the hall resound
With their deafening yells. _

Applause and thundering delegation
cries announced the entrance of candi-
dates.

hfi. Platt sat impassively in the second
row from the front under the Tioga coun=
ty flag. The applause seemed not to move
him, but he plucked nervously at his
beard.

Senator Lexow received hearty applause
as he came down the aisle and took a seat
in the front row with the Rockland men.
Mr. Fassett received the loudest ovation
accorded any man. Hisses and cheers
for Milholland followed, echoing from
regulars to the, antis in the opposite side
of the gallery. _

At , precisely 12:17 o’clock. Chairman
Brookfieid, chairman of the state commit-
tee, rapped for ordered and introduced
Dr. Carey of Saratoga, who offered prayer.

The roll call of delegates began.

The Protests Made.

The contest of Albany Third district
was noted, and Mr. Quilman of New
York, with a Milholland deldgation badge
on, said:

“I wish to present the notice of contest
from New York county, feeling that the
desire to have fair play and with earnest
conviction. that the organization which
I have the honor to represent is the great
Republican organization of the county of
New York and to which all Republicans
from the county should give their zealous
and agg’re‘sEive allegiance. I believe, Mr.
Chairman; that this contest shouid be re-
ferred: to the committee on contested
599%?“ I i .
-:§Th0 chair announcd that the matter

Would go to the committee on contested
seats. The chair announced that the state
committee had instructed 'him to name
the Hon. Leui’uel E. Qulgg as chairman
of the temporary organization. (Ap
, plause.) . - '
Messrs. Scatchard of Buflalo and Hedges

 

' of New York escorted the chair-manta the

en masse, waving hats and hendkerchiefs

 

platform; and he Was received
mendous applause.

Mr. Quigg, with much deliberation, de-
livered a prepared Speech.

During Mr. Quigg.!'s speech the vast au-
dience seemed immensely pleased, and his
sallies at Tammany Hall and the Demo-
cratic party -were heartily applauded.
When he said that Senator Hill was the
only man among the Democrats faithful
to his trust, there wasaburst of applause.
Mr Platt, ex-Senator Hisccck and Sena-
tor Lexow, who sat in a group, enjoyed
the gpcech hugely, each one applauding
heartily‘a‘nd frequently. During the ad-
dress Mr. Quinn read a dispatch announc-

ing that Governor Flower had declined to
again accept a nomination for governor.
There were cries of “Good, good!” and
applause and cheers. Members of the con-
vention expressed the greatest surprise at
Governor Flower’s action.
